Notepad3DS allows you to edit files directly from your 3DS system.
Originally created in 2017 and updated in 2025 for improved functionality and a modernised backend.
Version 1.2.1 includes:
- More advanced file editing
- Search results can be cycled
- Fixed a bug where saved files would hold all content in 1 line
- Improved file selection through a visualised hierarchy
- Support for making directories
- Line editing, inserting and deleting
- File creation, opening and saving
- File searching
- Display line numbers
The bottom screen displays instructions, file information and any additional information.
When running Notepad3DS, you will start in the /3ds directory. Use ../ to access higher levels in the folder structure.
[!NOTE] Notepad3DS can open and save files in existing directories but cannot create new directories. Saving a file to a non-existent directory will be unsuccessful.
[!NOTE] Each line can hold a maximum of 1024 characters when edited. Lines over 1024 characters WILL be truncated, with no way of undoing this.
