⚠️ 0 New 3DS and New 2DS only \ ⚠️ 1 New 3DS and 3DS only, software decoder only, in order to see 3D video as 3D \ you need to enable 3D mode in settings(settings->LCD->Screen mode->3D)

Prepare videos

If you are advanced user, see Recommended resolution and Benchmark for performance then use commandline in the Prepare videos (advanced users).

If not, you can use these tools :

Prepare videos (advanced users)

Replace {input_file_name} with your input file name and {output_file_name} with your output file name. \ e.g. : ffmpeg -i original_video.mp4 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -s 800x240 -preset medium -crf 25 converted_video.mp4

Build

You need :

(Copy them in your path e.g. in {devkitPro_install_dir}\tools\bin).

As of this writing, we use these packages to build this project. \ Note : Not all of them are necessary e.g. devkitARM-gdb is not required to build and we don't use \ standard libctru and citro2(3)d, but we just document all of them in case someone need these information. \ For more information, see here.

After having all dependencies, do :

Recommended resolution

On NEW 3(2)DS, it is recommended to use patched Luma3DS for better performance.

Videos that in this resolution will be played without any problems in most of the situations. Recommended resolution mpeg1video mpeg2video H263+ H264 H265
OLD3DS Software decoding 400x240@30 400x240@30 400x240@24 256x144@24 256x144@10
NEW3DS Software decoding 800x240@30 800x240@30 800x240@30 800x240@30 800x240@20
NEW3DS Hardware decoding none none none 800x240@60 none
Videos that in this resolution may be played without problems if video is not moving a lot. Maximum resolution mpeg1video mpeg2video H263+ H264 H265
OLD3DS Software decoding 800x240@24 800x240@24 800x240@20 400x240@15 256x144@20
NEW3DS Software decoding 800x480@30 800x480@30 800x480@30 800x480@24 800x240@30
NEW3DS Hardware decoding none none none 1280x720@20 none

Note : Video resolution that exceeds screen resolution (400x240 on OLD2DS, 800x240 on OLD3DS, NEW2DS and NEW3DS) has little visible effect.

Benchmark

⚠️ Decoding speed depends on encoder option, video type, video scene, etc...

Original video file : Big Buck Bunny \ The test videos were generated with following commands : \ mjpeg : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec mjpeg -s {width}x{height} -q:v 5 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ mpeg1video : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg1video -s {width}x{height} -q:v 5 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ mpeg2video : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg2video -s {width}x{height} -q:v 5 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ mpeg4 : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg4 -s {width}x{height} -q:v 5 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ h263p : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec h263p -s {width}x{height} -q:v 5 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ h264 : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -s {width}x{height} -crf 25 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ h265 : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec libx265 -s {width}x{height} -crf 30 -t 03:00 {output_file} \ av1 : ffmpeg -i {input_file} -acodec copy -vcodec libsvtav1 -s {width}x{height} -crf 40 -row-mt 1 -cpu-used 5 -t 03:00 {output_file}
