Thanks. Just a heads up, chrome didn't like the download link for the windows server, it flagged it as malicious and refused to download it. Downloaded fine with Safari.

PS: Any chance of a mac version of the server? :)
 
I'd love a Linux version as well. It shouldn't be too difficult to port, since it's already using gcc libraries.
I tried running the Windows client with Wine. It connects, but pressing a button on the 3DS does nothing...
 
Is there really no way to stream the Android screen on the 3DS at least? Even with lag it will be awesome. It will be useful as a sort of remote control device.
 
I tried this on Linux (Mint) and it connected just fine, but either I don't know how to set the controls or they're not working for me.

Nevermind, it randomly decided to start working. It always bugs me when I don't know why something wasn't working in the first place, especially when it starts working without any change.

This seems to work rather well. There's minimal input lag (at least over my network). I wonder how hard it would be to implement analog input. Probably have to emulate a DirectInput device at that point. It does freeze on me when I try to exit it, though. I'm using 9.9.0 with Homebrew Launcher 2.1 (from Smealum's tweet) via IronHax.

Any updates on the screen streaming?

No, I think it takes a little longer.

on linux as follows:
port : 2001
[3ds] => [win, linux, mac]
up => up arrow
down => down arrow
left => left arrow
right => right arrow
Y => S
X => A
B => X
A => Z
L => Q
LZ => W
RZ => E
R => R
select => C
start => V

port : 2002
[3ds] => [win, linux, mac]
up => T
down => G
left => F
right => H
Y => K
X => L
B => M
A => ,
L => U
LZ => I
RZ => O
R => P
select => B
start => N
test on terminal.if work, press A (3ds) is shown the letter Z on the screen.

thank you for testing .3dsx :) .i can't find any way to run .3dsx by gateway :cry:.
the next change will certainly be analog input.

I did some more testing on my backup desktop. The setup looks like:

32-bit Linux Mint 17.2 static IP through wired network

o3DS 9.9.0 IronHax (Homebrew Launcher 2.1) static IP through 108.11g only wifi (frame burst enabled, Shortslot Override: short, and short preamble). It's the only wireless device connected to that AP at the time.

Latency wise, it's as good as any Bluetooth controller, or at least not noticeably different. I made sure it was under the most ideal conditions (channel with low to little interference and stuff like that). I tested it by playing both Cave Story+ and RetroArch.

Cave Story+ worked wonderfully with it. That requires some precise controls in parts and edpjoy passed with flying colors, for a wireless controller. I played it for a while and didn't have any issues beyond the standard issues I'll repeat down below.

RetroArch didn't register it at all. My guess is RetroArch takes direct input through the keyboard instead of from Linux itself, so in order for this to work, edpjoy would have to be detected as its own device.

The only issues I've had are the ones I mentioned before. The client freezes when I try to exit it on my o3DS and the server on Linux doesn't always work properly (button presses not outputting keystrokes) and requires stopping then starting the server again.

Are you planning on releasing the source code? I would love to see how you get your sockets working. Having trouble with that for over 2 days now.
