Has anyone created this or developing anything like this? Thought it would be easier to transfer files between 3DS and ftp webserver easier when only using the 3DS. Iv'e attached a picture of the concept.

FTPony, FTProny, and FTP-3DS. Take your pick. Though, if you still want to develop your own, have at it. I'm not going to discourage you.

That's true. It would require a full interface and some extra work to have a decent client. A server is a bit simpler, though it wouldn't hurt to have the option for those that want a client instead. Good luck.

Im still learning to code and hope to develop it. Can anyone point me to a direction of how to make it run on 3DS.

Actually I use filezilla with ftpbrony and ftppony constantly. It works perfectly.
Edit: ah I see what you're saying. Essentially what we have now but instead of sending the files from the computer it would all be controlled by the 3ds. That would be simply amazing, hopefully someone will jump on this.

It shouldn't be too difficult to make one with a basic GUI, there are probably plenty of FTP libraries for C/C++ that would compile without too many 3DS-specific changes, it's not a particularly advanced protocol. Of course the more features you want, the more complicated the GUI would need to be.
There was a FTP client (and a couple of servers) for the DS, I'm not sure if it's open source or not, but if it is then it should be relatively easy to port it to the 3DS. It was pretty buggy though.

What 3DS model are you using? New or Old? If you're on New, just use the MicroSD Management feature in the Data Management settings on the Settings app. I've had issues with FTP, honestly, and USB SD Readers shouldn't be too expensive if you're using an O3DS.

I wish I could say FTP clients for the 3DS are stable, but when transferring several files, it tends to mess up with saves mostly.

Is that better than ftbrony? I'm using that and everytime I try to copy themes/save files, it tends to mess up when there are too many files.

I was posting about the client, not the server. I'm just using FTP-3DS, before that I was using FTbrony. I haven't had issues with either. I'd try different clients and make sure there's no wireless interference, if you're having issues. The connection I'm using I have setup with shortslot override, short preamble, bluetooth coexistance, Frame Burst (only two wireless devices connect to this AP), and is on the a seperate channel from the rest of the wireless stuff around here.

    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
