Thank you for letting me know about this!
In other news, there's a community-made port of the Half-Life engine to the Nintendo 3DS which you can use if your 3DS is jailbroken.
If you haven't already jailbroken your 3DS, read on.
You should -- it takes 20 minutes tops, it's virtually impossible to mess up, all your games/saves/home menu are kept exactly how you left them, and the only tools you need are the 3DS itself and any device with an SD card reader and and internet connection. I used my phone. You don't even need a screwdriver unless your 3DS is one of the handful of models (New 3DS and New 3DS XL) that keeps the SD card slot behind the battery door. Things jailbreaking a 3DS allows you to do, apart from playing Half-Life, include:Things you can do with a stock 3DS that you can't do after jailbreaking include:
You can find a step-by-step tutorial at https://3ds.hacks.guide. The guide is phenomenal -- "if you see this, do this; if you see this, do this; if you see this, you did the last step wrong, go back and do this." This will walk you through installing most of the software you'll need. Once you've finished, here are some additions I recommend:
You can download the Half-Life port here. You'll need to supply the game files yourself, but those are free for the next two days, and once you've done that you can play the entire game on the go. The 3DS's processor is just about powerful enough to run Half-Life at the console's native resolution of 400x240 with minimal stuttering. (The port does not support turning the 3D on -- if it did, that would cut the performance in half.) It's not an ideal way to play half-life by any means, but still, cool!
I agree, everyone should hack their 3ds, but the meme is so easy to provoke it is hilarious.
...the meme? what meme
Already did. Its not great but it works
