@Komfudo @torepang linux has already been ported to the 3DS, so it would be easy to get nginx running on it.

But from what I can see the wifi chip isn't supported so you'd need to figure out a way to get it to talk to the outside world to actually act as a server (implement a wifi driver or hack up some other means of communication like a serial port).

@jiub @Komfudo my bad. fat finger posted.

i wonder if nginx has a version for the ARM cpu that the 3ds uses. i'm not too familiar with ARM cpus so i might just be overthinking a bit.

@torepang @Komfudo you'd likely need to build nginx from source, but considering the 3DS uses the same ARMv6 instruction set as the OG Raspberry Pi I suspect this would be trivial (and nginx is probably written in a very portable way).

@torepang @Komfudo love that kind of project :3 wish I had more time for that sort of thing myself. getting wifi to work will be the hardest part unless someone has already solved that.
