Homebrew Possible to use 3DS Controler (orother) witha N3DS on Dolphin Windows?

Asia81 · Oct 3, 2015

I want play to Dolphin on my W10 (WindWaker, XD...) using my N3DS and the circle pad as a remote, it's possible?
If so, how?

Thanks for the explanations/help.

Here is some usage explanation: https://github.com/CTurt/3DSController/blob/master/README.md

I got the controller working, its easy without the circle pad, for the circle pad you need vjoy.
Then you can change the controller mapping in Dolphin to the buttons that the n3ds sends.

There is a problem, because in Dolphin, when I use :
DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse : I can set all buttons, except the circle pad.
DInput/0/vJoy Device : Now I can set the circle pad, but no buttons...

In the 3DSController settings (PC) make sure you have the button set to JOY<number>. By default it is set to key-presses, and setting the buttons to JOY<number> it counts it as vjoy buttons.

It's what I have (vJoy intalled is vJoy_205_050515.exe) :

I always need a lot of help

In the ini you need to do this:
A: JOY1
B: JOY2
and etc. for all the buttons you want to use.
To make JOY9 and higher work you need to change a setting in vJoy, the .ini tells you how to do this:
"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."

Curious of one thing though:
I got it working, but... sadly, the D-Pad on my N3DS can only be mapped as extra buttons.
Would it be possible for the program to be able to map it as POV directions?
(Also on a similar note, Phantasy Star Online BB doesn't seem to like receiving input from N3DS...)

vJoy is able to take a "Hat Switch" as input, which sounds like what you want. Does it offer any advantage over buttons?
vJoy by default has none so I decided not to use it to avoid needing to reconfigure it - something I had to do anyway to allow over 8 buttons.

If a game doesn't like vJoy input but is Xbox controller compatible you can use a program called x360ce to "translate" it. n3ds has all the same inputs except pressable joysticks so only very slight compromise is needed.

The hat switch is mainly just for compatibility sake; some games don't like the d-pad when it's not a Hat switch and will only recognize it if it's in that format.

I always had trouble with x360ce, mainly because I cannot understand how it works. And since some of my games are fairly legacy meaning they don't have an xinput.dll, it's troubling in those cases.

I suppose what I'm saying is all fairly minor more than anything. Though a part of me kind of wishes the desktop client could translate 3DS keys to xinput presses rather than DirectInput, but that's just me.

Someone now if it's possible to connect 2 or more 3ds/N3ds at the same time on the same 3DSController?
For play to a multiplayer game on Dolphin like Mario Smash Football or DBZ with a friend xD

You could try running a second server that listens on a different port (basically put each server in its own folder with its own 3dscontroller.ini, edited with different port numbers), and have the second (N)3DS connect to the same IP address, but on the different port you picked. One server per 3DS (and one port per 3DS/server), I think. I'm not sure if it would work with vJoy stuff though.

In vConfig you can add more devices that can be used as emulated controllers. Maybe the vJoyInterface.dll only connects to the first vJoy device? There might be a way to point the DLL to vJoy Device #2.

The vJoy part of the program is hardcoded to only connect to device 1.
Here's a recompiled v0.6 that outputs to vJoy device 2, if you need it.
Remember to enable and configure the second vJoy device.
You'll also still need to configure a different port, on both the PC side and 3ds side.

Why thank you. Much appreciated.

Is possible to set up this for Project64? I'm having problems anyways, not only for that one
