Note: You can use any controller, but this tutorial will only describe the steps to do it with a gamecube controller + official gamecube controller adapter. Anyway, only the first step is related with the controller. The other steps are the same for every controller.

Special thanks to Stary2001 and @KazoWAR for this awesome tool.

Requirements:

• A 3DS with CFW and a CIA installer
• Homebrew Launcher (latest version) or NTR CFW
• InputRedirection
  • for NTR (https://github.com/Kazo/InputRedirection/releases/tag/NTR-build)
  • for Homebrew Launcher (https://github.com/Kazo/InputRedirection/releases/tag/master-build)
• InputRedirection PC Client
  • for NTR (https://github.com/Kazo/InputRedirectionClient/releases/tag/NTR-build)
  • for Homebrew Launcher (https://github.com/Kazo/InputRedirectionClient/releases/tag/master-build)
• A PC with Windows
• A Gamecube controller
• Official gamecube controller adapter
• Wii U USB GCN Driver (http://m4sv.com/page/wii-u-gcn-usb-driver)
• XPadder (http://xpadder.com/) or a freeware alternative

Recomended:

• Wireless Network Watcher (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_watcher.html)

Steps:
1. Install the driver of the Official gamecube controller adapter in your pc (there's a lot of tutorials on the internet, so please google) and run it.
2. Configure Xpadder (It's pretty easy with a noob-proof GUI). Remember the keys you choose for each button.

Now you have to choose an option

NTR CFW (recommended - better compatibility )
3. In your 3DS install InputRedirectionNTR.cia.
4. Run NTR CFW, press X+Y and select "Enable Debugger"
5. Run the installed CIA.

Homebrew Launcher (not recommended - worse compatibility)
3. In your 3DS install InputProc.cia and put the 3ds folder in the root of your sd card In
4. Run The Homebrew Launcher and launch input_loader.
5. Press start and then x to return to the home menu


6. Now in your PC, go to the PC Client and open InputRedirection NTR.exe (InputRedirection .exe if you chose the HBL option)
7. Press F1 to set your 3DS IP address (use wireless network watcher or ftpbrony to know it) and then ESC
8. Press F2 to set the key for each button of your 3ds (you can use Xpadder to remember what keys you used for the gamecube controller). To do it, first you have to press the pre-selected key, and then press the new key for each button. Once you're ready press ESC.
9. Test the controls (also, you can press F4 to show debug information).
10. Enjoy

You need the internet on. Sun/Moon turns off internet unless in festival plaza.

No it works in Sun/Moon. They said past the title screen implying that they have a new3ds which works with Sun/Moon. What is happening is the game is disabling wifi.

you're not able play the main game with input redirection, going to festi plaza and connecting and getting back to the game will result in losing connection again, so you're not able to play the game with input redirection >.>

Yes but you were implying that it doesn't work period because it is a high memory mode game.
Also you can get passed that with http://gbatemp.net/threads/sciresms-sun-moon-patches.449171/page-6#post-6874806

Of course it is a new 3DS, I got it day one.

I will have to try the patches later, I do find it strange that NFC would mess with the internet beyond what the NTR patch would prevent. (Which from what I understand just nops the wifi deinit code)

 

[niño de cobre]

the input client was made using MonoGame, its a game engine based on the old XNA from Microsoft and it only support xinput. It was a quick way to get controller support. I tried messing with some controller input libraries in a standard winform application but I was having a hard time figuring it out.

any news on updated xinput support for xbox one controllers?

is there a mirror download to the homebrew input direction? the one currently up doesnt work

 

[Stary2001]

https://github.com/Stary2001/InputRedirection/releases - the one in OP is a fork.

 

[chalexthegreat]

how do i make it work in games? it stops working after i load smash, or any other game

 

[Koveryl]

I got it working with keyboard controls, and I got XPadder working with every other game that supports XInput. But I can't get XPadder to connect to the program. Any ideas?
