3DSLinux Projects!!!

A collection of tools, as well as documention related to the very cool 3DS Homebrew project, 3DSLinux.

What is this?

3DSLinux is Linux, but on the 3DS, ( crazy, I know! )
It uses Void Linux, a Linux distribution, to run. Void Linux was chosen because it is very lightweight,
( 60mb of ram usage WITH a window manager! )
Now, what this website is for in specific, is to host my own scripts, written in Python,
( and maybe other languages soon... )
This includes scripts that interact with hardware, as well as other tools I have made specifically for the 3DS. Do note that these scripts nor this project as a whole is endorsed by the great people at 3dslinux.org.

What has been done as of current:

Quite a bit!

LED control in Python, including the ability to turn on and off the Wireless/Power LEDs, and the Notification LED.
The ability to change the notification LED to any color in hex code!
A very barebones Python script to help show these features off.
Documented code, and some other documentation.

Updated as of August 29th 2026!

Physical button support!
A very tiny demo showing off the usage of said buttons.

Pictures!
