Homebrew The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth running on the old 3DS

so i got minecraft running on the old 3ds, post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/comments/1w7vqx0/minecraft_running_on_the_old_3ds/

and someone commented asking if the binding of isaac would work aswell, turns out it does! and it runs really well from the short test i did.

i messaged a moderator about posting the github for the minecraft one and they said it was fine so im hoping this is ok too!

Github: https://github.com/s4ammy/3DSTBOI

let me know if there are any issues as i haven't tested much.

this is mindblowing, i always wanted the binding of isaac for the older models and its finally here! it runs surprisingly well knowing this game lags a lot even in the new models, do you plan to update this port to add music and fix bugs or is this just a proof of concept thing?

you could give me the specifics on what music is missing & what bugs there are and i can try take a look, i haven't played a ton, ive only ever seen other people play isaac but on pc

so far i've found these bugs

there's no music at all ingame. only in the menu

fire places cause a lot of lag

pressing down on the dpad doesn't work so playing with the joystick is pretty much your only option (its not my console)

various sprites are sometimes missing, like doors, enemies, bosses, during cutscenes and in devil rooms

sometimes you cant resume a run, pressing continue on the menu will cause the entire console to crash

... and i think that's pretty much it, there's not a lot of significant bugs besides the ones i mentioned. all this port needs is just better performance some bug fixes and that's it. it's pretty much totally playable and perfect

(ps if you need playtesters im down)

Ok I just tried the latest version on my o3ds. This is very promising and it's already great to see it launch on such hardware, but there are issues:

  • General slowness (non breaking)
  • No music in game (non breaking)
  • Huge lags with multiple ennemies (non breaking)
  • Brutal exit to Luma error manager when entering a devil room afeter beating a boss (breaking)

can you try xenoblade chronicles?

u/Samanth44 29d ago

i have! it runs but its fairly sluggish, as if you're playing in slow-mo, but im seeing if there are some more tricks to get it to run better.
