- Startup lag: Takes 10-20 seconds to load on O3DS before the title screen appears. Runs fine once it's loaded.
- No music: Turned off to stop gameplay lag on O3DS. Sound effects work fine.
- HOME button: Pressing HOME mid-game won't suspend to the Home Menu. Pause with Y or Start first.
- Title screen: Press X to start. If it doesn't respond right away, the game is still loading, just wait a bit.
- N3DS CIA: Some N3DS users report the CIA installs but doesn't appear on the Home Menu. The 3DSX works fine on N3DS as a workaround while this gets sorted.
Requires devkitPro with devkitARM and these packages:
dkp-pacman -S devkitARM 3ds-sdl 3ds-sdl_image 3ds-sdl_mixer libctru citro3d
make # builds prince.3dsx
make cia # also builds prince.cia (requires bannertool and makerom in PATH)All 3DS changes are behind #ifdef __3DS__ so the upstream PC build still works fine.
