# Luma3DS
*Noob-proof (N)3DS "Custom Firmware"*

## What it is

**Luma3DS** is a program to patch the system software of (New) Nintendo 3DS handheld consoles "on the fly", adding features (such as per-game language settings and debugging capabilities for developers) and removing restrictions enforced by Nintendo (such as the region lock).
It also allows you to run unauthorized ("homebrew") content by removing signature checks.  
To use it, you will need a console capable of running homebrew software on the ARM9 processor. We recommend [Plailect's guide](https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki) for details on how to get your system ready.

## Compiling

First you need to clone the repository recursively with: `git clone --recursive https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS.git`  
To compile, you'll need [armips](https://github.com/Kingcom/armips), [bin2c](https://sourceforge.net/projects/bin2c/), and a recent build of [makerom](https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR) added to your PATH.  
For your convenience, here are [Windows](http://www91.zippyshare.com/v/ePGpjk9r/file.html) and [Linux](https://mega.nz/#!uQ1T1IAD!Q91O0e12LXKiaXh_YjXD3D5m8_W3FuMI-hEa6KVMRDQ) builds of armips (thanks to who compiled them!).  
Finally just run `make` (for the regular version) or `make DEV=TRUE` (for the dev version) and everything should work!  
You can find the compiled files in the `out` folder.
