Homebrew 3DS Controller

[LordBaiano]

any errors displayed or something interesting in the pc client when opening it? did you set vjoy's number of keys to 16?

No error's and yes, vjoy set to 16.

Just appears, "3ds connected" (or something like this)

 

[Mr.Faq2015]

try to see if something's odd in the pc client's .ini. You may have something wrong like basic settings (the lines where you set specific parts to specific inputs like the buttons for keys on the keyboard, the circle pad for the mouse, etc.). Sadly I'm out of time today so I won't answer anymore. Hope you get it solved

JOYSTICK1 uses X and Y. JOYSTICK2 uses Rx and Ry. These are 0, 1, 3 and 4 respectively, leaving 2 and 5 unused.

Mouse Speed controls how fast the Circle Pad or Touch Screen moves the mouse. If set to 0 and using the Touch Screen, it will set to the absolute position, rather than moving relatively to last position,

Buttons can be a letter for a keyboard key (like Q, W, E, R, T, or Y), a special keyboard key (like SPACE, CLICK, RIGHT CLICK, ENTER, BACKSPACE, SHIFT, TAB, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, or WINDOWS), or a joypad button (JOY1, JOY2, JOY3, to JOY16).

If you want to use JOY9 through JOY16 you need to reconfigure vJoy. Search for vJoyConf in your start menu and set buttons to 16.

Alternatively, you can disable a key by binding it to NONE,

Throttle controls the delay between checking for new packets (in milliseconds), a high number will have slightly more lag between pressing a button on the 3DS and receiving it on the PC, however will make the application use less CPU. In my experience, 20 is a reasonable throttling amount,

Make sure to use a single space, not a tab for seperating settings,




Port: 8889
Throttle: 20
Circle Pad: JOYSTICK1

Down: JOY12
Start: JOY13
Select: JOY14
Tap: JOY15

Here is my 6.0 .ini ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Default port is 8889, if you change this, you must change it in the 3DS's 3DSController.ini as well,

Mouse Speed controls how fast the Circle Pad or Touch Screen moves the mouse. If set to 0 and using the Touch Screen, it will set to the absolute position, rather than moving relatively to last position,
vJoy Device chooses which device to connect to. Set this to 2 in a second instance of 3DSController to use a second 3DS at the same time, perhaps for multiplayer.


Circle Pad, C Stick and Touch can be MOUSE, JOYSTICK1, or JOYSTICK2.
JOYSTICK1 uses X and Y. JOYSTICK2 uses Rx and Ry. These are axes 0, 1, 3 and 4 respectively, leaving 2 and 5 unused.
KEYS will enable Pad directions (eg. Pad Left, C Stick Right) to map to regular keys (no vJoy necessary).
D Pad can be KEYS or POV. POV will automatically choose a continuous or 4 directional POV hat depending on what is set in your vJoy Config. KEYS will allow Left, Right and etc. to be buttons as previously.


Buttons can be a letter for a keyboard key (like Q, W, E, R, T, or Y), a special keyboard key (like SPACE, CLICK, RIGHT CLICK, ENTER, BACKSPACE, SHIFT, TAB, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, WINDOWS, ESCAPE, CONTROL or ALT), or a joypad button (JOY1, JOY2, JOY3, to JOY16).
If you want to use JOY9 through JOY16 you need to reconfigure vJoy. Search for vJoy Config in your start menu and set buttons to 16.

Alternatively, you can disable any key by binding it to NONE.

And here is my 7.2 .ini
Both did't work.

Observation:

For those who are not following:
Im trying to use as a joystick, to play emulators, and other games like dark souls etc But the vjoy does not recognize when i tap the button, and when i set a key and try it in the notepad do not word: / As if the circle pad were not connected: /

EDIT:
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING
I'm so sorry
I'm brazilian so when we talk about the circle pad pro we say only circle pad.
The circle pad is working fine!
My problem is with the circle pad pro.
All buttons and the circle pad are working fine, but the c-stick of the circle pad pro, and ZL,ZR and the R button of the circle pad pro are not working.
Sorry for the mistake XD

I see... well, then sadly we're out of luck. I believe it doesn't have support for the Circle Pad Pro add-on for o3DS... Well, at least I haven't seen anybody trying it...

 

[needhelp3ds]

any way to use this on no$zoomer for rhythm heaven?

 

[Gurupeco]

thanks for this app, any way to enable the Zr or Zl on a New3ds xl?
EDIT: just managed to make it work, noticed OP create a new version of the .cia, making the Zr/Zl buttons to work, Thanks!

 

[Mr.Faq2015]

You can't use 3DSC with Rhythm Heaven on No$Zoomer. However you can try 3ds controller plus, that one works (and it sure adds difficulty...)

 

[Jesus Ponce]

I'm stuck too with the circle pad pro. It seem that no one wants to develop the CPP support :/

 

[Deleted User]

I can never get it to say "3DS CONNECTED!" even though everything was done properly. Damn shame too, since playing Elysian Tail feels strange on a keyboard.
EDIT: Almost as if answering my prayers, all I had to do was throw all the contents of the PC folder out into my desktop.

Lol, thank you. I was urgently searching for a solution why it didn't work for me. I had them in a folder and just had to drop them onto my desktop. How dumb is that xD

 

[EpicDJgamerboy]

Does this also work with a 2DS (XL)?

 

[UnitedNick]

Will 3DS Controller be ported on Mac?

 

[LogicIsHansom]

Does anyone know if this works on 11.4 or did the update break it?

 

[04dude3]

I don't know if I'm missing something, but can I assign keyboard keys to the circle pad?

 

[~Poke~]

Will 3DS Controller be ported on Mac?

I imagine you could run the python script version (the linux version).

Does anyone know if this works on 11.4 or did the update break it?

It should, but I haven't updated a 3ds so can't confirm. I haven't heard of a change that should be relevant.

I don't know if I'm missing something, but can I assign keyboard keys to the circle pad?

If you use my fork (link in sig) then yes.

 

[UnitedNick]

I imagine you could run the python script version (the linux version).

Where can I download the script? I'm a complete noob, so I have no idea where to get this.

 

[~Poke~]

Where can I download the script? I'm a complete noob, so I have no idea where to get this.

If you click the arrow to go to this post, it's attached. Or if you can navigate Github, you can try find it there: https://github.com/CTurt/3DSController

I've fixed some problems with the original linux version and now it is pretty usable. You can download it here. It is just a python script but it won't upload if not compressed.

Currently that script will only work on 3DS Controller 0.6, in the OP. It's only made for Linux so I can't promise it'll do anything on Mac (though I don't really know enough to be sure).


Someone's made a PR to add support for the python script to my 3DSC fork, but I don't really have the knowledge/tools to compile it right now. I've asked them to post a build here, if anyone's interested in that.

 

[StunningNobility]

Is there a reason only my Y, Circle Pad and Touch Screen work when connected?

 

[Halvorsen]

How do you get the Circle Pad working? vJoy instructions make exactly zero sense.

 

[JavaScribe]

Does anyone know if this works on 11.4 or did the update break it?

I can confirm that it does. (I'm using N3DS, doodlebomb, 11.4 without CFW)
All inputs are working. (The circle pad is set to arrow keys using JoytoKey, and the c-stick to some letters or mouse movement, so that's how I know those work.)

How do you get the Circle Pad working? vJoy instructions make exactly zero sense.

I may be able to help, depending on what you mean. Do you mean "working" as in responding on vJoy? Or are you wanting to bind them to keyboard input (i.e. arrow keys)? [for which you'd use JoytoKey]

By the way, leave all of the boxes checked in config. I disabled the Z axis...es? axii? ...the Z axis and the Rz axis, and the circle pad (and c-stick) stopped working. Just a warning to... people.
Don't mess with those. It takes a while to fix (or to figure out how to).
