Hi, thanks for this awesome NTR alternative, but may I ask if you're going to port the client to linux too for the linux users here?

Linux and Mac have WINE remember?

That may be but native install is always preferred

NKStreamer

version 0.3

NKStreamer is a tool using for stream PC desktop screen (or windows) to 3DS with input. Im start working on it from 19/07/2017.
You can use it for play video, play game​

​

Download Client : [Not release yet - but soon]
Download Server : [Not release yet - but soon]

Platform: Windows (Mac later)

My router: MiWifi ( it is mid-end router but quality is not really good. slow.)

Note: To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your client device (5 Gigahertz (GHz) highly recommended, Wireless-N (802.11n) or better strongly recommended) and a good connection from your PC server to your router (Ethernet/wired connections highly recommended).

===================================================
Next features:

- Zoom
- Multi touch input
- Graphic display current use sd2d and sfil what is no longer support. Implement new method will be
more optimize for speed and stable.

===================================================
v0.4a PLAN (estimated release on 23/07 ~ 24/07 )

- UI: Implement basic UI.
- Option to use 2 sock instead of 1 by now ( will be more smoother )
- First public alpha release

===================================================
v0.3

FPS: 29~30
Delay: 0.3 sec ?
Input: not implement yet
UI: not implement yet
Sound : not implement yet
3D view: not implement yet

change:
- Add Theading for SocketManager.
- Add Webp ( not implement yet ) it seem like better quality and smaller.
Note: FPS can be more on good wifi device.

thinking about changing to UDP socket. because streaming with TCP have more delay if net glitch. UDP would be better.

Release will be on v0.4 when UI is added because current IP is fixed in code so it only work on my PC for now.



===================================================
Old version change logs.
===================================================

Spoiler

v0.2

FPS: around 25~30
Delay: 0.5 sec ?
Input: not implement yet
UI: not implement yet
Sound : not implement yet

===================================================
v0.1
FPS: 15
Delay: 0.5 sec ?
Input: not implement yet
UI: not implement yet
Sound : not implement yet
3D view: not implement yet

TBH, I want to use something like this to play PC games on my 3DS. It would be fantastic.

Does this work on Windows 10? i really wanted to use the old 3DS Remote Desktop app but it only worked on Win7. This would be awesome if it worked on Win10

yes! i will definitely use this when you release it.

Hey, could you make the bottom screen compatible with this app, to use an emulator like desmume in PC streamed to your 3DS with resolution x4? Would be great to make a real-enhanced NDS experience with a real touchscreen

This is a pointless recommendation. The 3DS does not support 802.11n at all. It supports 2.4GHz 802.11b/g.

thanks. just copy from moonlight document.

 

[namkazt]

Almost done here.



anyway how can i change the title of this thread?

Finally

===================================================
v0.4a

First Note: Please read
- this version release do not include Input Controller ( so don't ask if it have or not )
- this version for alpha testing only so it may crash or something. use at your own risk.
- please report any bug or crash in this thread and step to reproduce.

Change logs:
- Server: Port config
- UI: IP Input
- Rework on socket thread system that allow easy config for multi thread or not ( but seem like multi socket thread is not much better than 1 ).
- Add option to change between Movie stream and Game Stream.

What is the difference between "Movie Stream" and "Game Stream"?

 

[namkazt]

What is the difference between "Movie Stream" and "Game Stream"?

actually it is not added to configable in this version. just hard code in server but the difference is:

Movie stream : you can accept the delay (around 1~2 secs) to exchange with FPS and smoothy even stream 3D movie.
Game Stream: lag and delay is not acceptable in some action game so this mode is optimized for it. Allow lantency ~100ms but it will be abit lag at sometime or with low-end wifi router

 

[Kurt91]

That's actually pretty nice to have. I play a lot of RPGs, so I'll probably be fine with Movie Stream most of the time.

One minor request, if it's something that you can manage without too much complication or added lag. You're going to be shrinking down a PC monitor to the resolution of the 3DS. Would it be possible to selectively duplicate and zoom in on parts of the monitor on the bottom screen? I mean, let's say that I'm playing a game with a lot of text. If the text always appears in the same part of the screen, I'd love to be able to use the bottom screen to see a zoomed-in portion of that part of the screen so that I'd be able to read it.

Even better, although I doubt that you'd be able to manage it, would be if we could do that for multiple parts of the screen, and arrange them ourselves on the bottom screen to make a makeshift custom HUD for the games we play. Seems like a bit of a stretch on that part though, and would likely add a lot of lag from the extra effort the 3DS would have to put in.

So I gave this a shot. I load the server and get the successfully launched text and then I load the 3DS Client which has an IP out of my subnet in it. I click on the IP and change it to my computer IP and then click okay. After this the 3DS becomes unresponsive and the only way to shut it down is a hard reset. What am I missing?

Try using all the suggested IP addresses. Two of the three didn't work for me.

 

[CatmanFan]

Neat! This means that I finally get to play N64 games on 3DS, right?
