Hacker gets Hermes Agent running on a Nintendo 3DS with voice input via custom homebrew
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-11-07
A fun experiment puts Hermes Agent on a Nintendo 3DS: the handheld acts as a remote terminal while a Mac does the real work — web search, writing and running code. Since the 3DS browser can't access the mic, the hacker installed custom firmware and wrote a C homebrew app: hold A to talk, release to send; audio goes to the Mac where Whisper transcribes it for Hermes. Approval-requiring actions darken the screen and show the command — A approves, B denies — and the 3DS keeps working as normal.
