During March 2025, Themode enhanced the shadps4-emu/ext-SDL repository by implementing Nintendo 3DS-specific system information reporting within the SDL extension. They introduced new API functions in C, enabling retrieval of system RAM and logical CPU core count directly from 3DS hardware. This work involved developing a dedicated platform backend, integrating embedded systems knowledge and cross-platform development skills to ensure consistent system information reporting across SDL-supported platforms. By exposing detailed hardware metrics, Themode’s contribution improved resource-aware decision-making for 3DS builds and strengthened SDL’s cross-platform API consistency. The work demonstrated depth in system programming and careful attention to platform-specific requirements.
