What are some good apps/websites that can make my 3DS an alternative to my phone

[GlitchyZorua]

Hi there! I have a homebrewed nintendo 3ds, over here on my desk. I have been doing a lot of poking around with it, and ive been figuring how i can do more with it..



... by using it as an alternative for my phone!



But... why?

Because its fun. 

What apps do you already have that replaces your phone on that thing?
Well, lets see here.

Music Player - Nintendo 3DS Sound (Yes, you can play music on 3DS Sounds, you just gotta load your SD card with music!)

Camera - Nintendo 3DS Camera - Not the best, but hey! A camera is a camera.

Weather - Forcast - Crashes the first time, but the second time, it doesn't. Not sure why it does that

Calculator - Omega, Calculator (Cinemax), Mario Calculator, Animal Crossing Calculator, etc.

Calendar - Nintendo Countdown Calculator

Alarm Clock - Homebrew application just called "A simple alarm clock", which.. has a Timer, Stopwatch, Clock, and oh boy, an alarm!

Drawing - There's alot of software that does the same thing, wont list them all.


YouTube - FourthTube


What I do need...

Web Browser - I need a better homebrew app that can display modern websites on my nintendo 3ds. Not sure if this is possible though 

E-mail & RSS Client

IRC Client

Telnet Client(?)

and, i guess, a whole lot more!

If you think this is impossible, just know that the PS vita had its own Email, Web Browser, all of that goody stuff in it! Because Sony advertised itself as a social device!

I want that, but on my nintendo 3ds.

for web browsing - netsurf! its not so fancy with, say, the most modern sites, ones that are really intensive, but it works, e.g., for Dreamwidth, at least. it works.
you could, then, sign up for dreamwidth, and use its RSS feed thingy to turn your reading page into just a big rss feed.
no comment on the rest, i havent found anything like that. let me know if you find an email client tho

Thanks! I guess ill strike that off of my list for now.

Interesting project! I don't think there's enough apps for it to be a full-blown smartphone replacement, but it would certainly make it so you'd play better games

I second NetSurf. Other than that, I recall someone making the Miiverse button connect into a Fediverse client- I'd have to look more into it though. That is, if you're even interested in that, ahaha.
