sorry for all the people, for some reason I wasn't receiving notifications even though I was watching the thread, but whatever...

What does the "detect osu!" option do?
(i'm asking because i play osu!)

it only works in windowed mode, you can redirect the absolute input to osu!, so the touchscreen will be mapped exactly to the osu! window

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I assume vJoy support is already on the to do list.
I'm gonna guess motion control support is in there too.
Now how bout amiibos? I kid, I kid.

no and no... since I'm using low-level Windows functions to simulate key presses, I'm too lazy to add in a library to simulate a virtual gamepad... also, the vJoy driver is a pain to install

I'm curious. Can I set this up as a Xinput device?

no, mouse and keyboard input only

If you got a notification for a watched thread then you won't get anymore until you actually read that notification.

tbh it's so hard to bind controls to a button that not even I can explain it with words... uuuh, I'd need to make a video on how to use it :/

Couldn't really figure out where to ask this, and google didn't give me much help so here I go. Is it possible to use the 3DS as a controller for android? I don't mean by blutooth obviously, but through the network.

sadly I'm not good at making Android programs, especially if it needs root... TerraInveditDroid was enough pain for me to make >_>
sadly you'd need to ask someone else, I'm already having flashbacks from Android programming, sorry

someone would need to make a client application for your PS4 to do that. though I don't think not even the new3DS has enough buttons for a PS4 (what about the analog L2/R2? and L3/R3?)

Open up 3DSController Plus on your DS, run FileStreamer in cmd to see the command format, then use it to stream a game/app.
I have the 3DSControllerPlus app running on my 3DS, but my question is, how does the command format work, and how would I use it to live stream my screen/app? It says confusing things like:
Code:
FileStreamer <FILE | -> <IP Address>
FileStreamer + <IP Address> [exe]
What does that even mean and how am I supposed to use it to live stream my PC to my 3DS?
(Sorry for my noob questions)

Video streaming to 3DS is still a very new feature, you need to be an advanced user to be able to use it properly in its current state. Please Understand!™

though I'll try to explain it...
"FileStreamer + ipaddress" will capture the full screen (replace "ipaddress" with your 3DS's IP address)
also, it doesn't work on Windows 10, no matter what you try

Ah! When it said "FileStreamer + IPAddress" I didn't tnink "+" was to actually be typed I thought it meant to to "FileStreamer [3DS IP]". I typed it and it started to send my screen to my 3DS, but then on my 3DS it said it was out of memory. Before that, it was spamming:
Code:
setting up Y2R
No headers yet
allocating decoder
It's worth noting that I downloaded FileStreamer from @flamerds 's attachment. Maybe I'm running an old version of FileStreamer? If that's so, it would be most appreciated if you could compile FileStreamer for me, as I cannot compile it myself.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Better yet, include compiled FileStreamer in the github repo!

get both the cia and the latest FileStreamer.exe from the repo, your 3DS client is *very* outdated

How can my 3DS client be outdated when I downloaded it straight from the repo? I'm assuming PaintController.cia is the correct file. Also, a compiled version of FileStreamer.exe is NOT in the repo, could you kindly provide one? (Sorry for the trouble, it's just that screen streaming on the o3DS is a godsend.)

EDIT: Here are some screenshots:
