I downloaded this when you posted it over on Reddit, it's a really polished alternative to the other streaming clients. While I don't have an Xbox myself, it's really impressive that you've integrated the input redirection, so anyone with an Xbox One and a New 3DS can play their games right there on the Xbone. It's as if they've got some kind of slightly-reduced-framerate 3DS Virtual Console, now.

The only things it's missing for me are a couple of minor cosmetic options:
  • a full screen mode (on the Windows build, in my case); currently it doesn't seem to be possible to display without the title bar at the top and the start bar at the bottom. I think Windows apps can do this, right? Also, the settings bar at the bottom could be hidden unless the mouse/touch/etc. summons it so that the screen is completely empty but for the 3DS display.
  • more flexible screen layouts, e.g. side-by-side, individual screen scales, etc.
But it's an impressive achievement, getting 3DS games onto a modern TV-based console. Great work.

Look forward to trying this out with the built in Input Redirection, how is the Xbox Controller mapped? is it like A (X1) = A (3DS) or is it A (X1) = B (3DS) also is the right stick setup to be the D-Pad? since we have no C-Stick support its nice for that to be D-Pad so can still use camera functions in games that assign to D-Pad.

You can hide the settings within the application by right-clicking or pressing 'RT' on the gamepad. It is possible to implement full screen using this API. In fact, if someone wants to submit a PR for it (it's super easy to do), I will happily incorporate it.

*edit I just added FullScreen in latest commit, submitting update to store now
See: https://github.com/toolboc/UWPStreamer/commit/2e4755ed3eff76f002c1c2c43f5bdbb82405db30

Side-by-Side and individual screen display mode are supported by selecting 'Display' in the menu, in addition 'Rotation' allows to change screen orientation. Each time it is selected the screens rotate 90 degrees. Scaling would also be pretty easy to set up as it is a property of the screen elements in the UI code. Again, PR's happily accepted.

I feel like it's just me, but this is far less choppier than when I was using kit kat. I always had problems with it white screening randomly, so this was a good alternative!

Ah, thanks, that is nice.
Side-by-Side and individual screen display mode are supported by selecting 'Display' in the menu, each time it is selected the screens rotate 90 degrees.
This doesn't seem to be working as intended for me, then. When I hit Display, it cycles through three settings: top-and-bottom (vertical), top only, and bottom only. No amount of hitting display results in a left-right, side-by-side, horizontal layout.

does this have universal controller support, or only xbox? I only have a gamecube controller and i'd like to use it with this.

Click 'Rotate'

Ahhhh, side-by-side has not been implemented. Would consider if a PR is submitted or if there is enough support for this.

This is awesome. It works great on the Xbox One except A gets confused with the input for settings. Quality is really good.

Per the instructions in the original post, press RT on the controller to disable the settings menu.

Consider that programmatically this is a chicken /egg problem. The controls need to be able to select the menu while also providing input to the game. To solve this, I allowed the user to control whether the menu is enabled with the RT trigger or mouse right-click. This also allows for a bit more screen real-estate.

Open to suggestions for improvement here.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
