Yo-kai Watch series (Nintendo 3DS games) Linux port

About this recompilation

A multi-game Nintendo 3DS recompilation collection, not a retail compilation: Yo-kai Watch; Yo-kai Watch 2 Bony Spirits, Fleshy Souls and Psychic Specters; Blasters Red Cat Corps and White Dog Squad; Yo-kai Watch 3, including Japanese Sushi, Tempura and Sukiyaki; and Japanese Busters 2 Sword and Magnum. Public ARM-to-C tools and a native runtime build separate game/region modules from the player's own decrypted cartridges and updates. Releases supply the launcher/runtime and tools, not games.

Linux support and installation

Linux

Build required

Ahead-of-time ARM/Thumb-to-C recompilation into game-specific native modules with SDL3 runtime

Requirements

Own decrypted dump of each desired supported 3DS cartridge; decrypted owned update CIA/CXI required for that update's content. Each game and region compiles separately. No ROM, firmware or generated game code is included. Linux x64; gcc or clang, and system libcurl/libarchive; the release package supplies SDL3.

Sources

No independent game or hardware testing performed; all playability remains Unknown. Maintainer says Psychic Specters is most tested; other games/regions are newer. USA releases and Busters 2 are the documented tested versions; recognition/build configuration alone does not establish playability. v0.4.0 update/title-capture testing is specific to Blasters, not every game. Launcher/tool downloads still require compiling each game locally; no game executable or data is supplied.
