About Postal 1 3DS

Only the engine is included. Copy these from your own PC copy into sdmc:/3ds/postal/data/: res.sak, shell.sak, game.sak, system1.fnt, smash.fnt and POSTAL.INI. Some installs also need the original title and res folders, copied with their names and contents as they are. The .3dsx and .smdh go in sdmc:/3ds/postal/.

If you get a black screen at startup, press Start. The author calls it alpha: the campaign plays on real hardware, but some levels may be slow or have problems. They think it should run on an Old 3DS but don't have one to try.

The bottom screen shows health and armour, ammo, an FPS counter, a radar for nearby targets and a touchpad for aiming. Select opens a cheat console with god mode, infinite ammo and a level skip.

- Circle Pad: move
- C-Stick or touchpad: aim
- R or ZR: fire
- L or ZL: throw a grenade or molotov
- D-Pad left and right: previous and next weapon
- D-Pad up and down: quick weapon select
- X: execute
- Y: suicide
- Start: pause

Release notes

v1.0.0 · Postal 1 Engine Port for 3DS · Sep 17, 2026

Hi everyone! This is a completely new port compared to the old one—please read the updated instructions. If you get a black screen on startup, press Start to continue. I suspect it should work on Old 3DS models, but I don't have one to test it on. Please report any bugs if you find them!
