# ctrulib

CTR User Library

Library for writing user mode arm11 code for the 3DS (CTR)

The goal with this is to create a very straightforward interface with the 3DS's OS.
It is not meant to provide higher level functions; to put things in perspective, the purpose of ctrulib would be to sit between the OS and a possible port of SDL rather than replace it.

# Setup

ctrulib is just a library and needs a toolchain to function. We built ctrulib to be used in conjunction with devkitARM. You may find instructions on how to install devkitARM on [the devkitPro Wiki](http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started).

The most recent devkitARM (r44) includes 3DS support and a prebuilt libctru.

To keep up to date with the most recent changes you'll want to checkout ctrulib, build it and install it.
