Of course I will test it. It now functions but the screen size seems to be incorrect, also due to the nature of being able to scroll down on the 3ds, it gives some strange coordinates that are off of the map. I have a video showing this at this link.

Thank you for helping me. This video is really useful. For the scrolling problem I'm going to try the recommendation on this page: https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Internet_Browser#Using_Both_Screens

I'll try to do another build tonight.

In addition, what type of MP4 files can be viewed? Every time I try to load one it says, Could not load file, Error code: 032-2901 or I get error code 032-2902. I have noted that all of my videos are in 1080P 60FPS

This is from the Nintendo web site:

Video Codec: H.264 - MPEG-4 AVC Video (max. 854x480 at level 3.2, 3D-compatible) (Some videos may not be playable.)

I suggest adding that Nintendo Website link to your official documentation of USend Mii, it really helped me out and I feel it would keep people from having to ask the same question over and over again. You are doing some great work.

Hello, I am the author of UsendMii, a software that will let use your Wii U GamePad on your computer. UsendMii will also allow you to view MP4 videos from your PC on the Wii U GamePad and your TV. Previously I have added the 3DS but unfortunately only up/down/left/right and A buttons can be used. Now with the New 3DS this is different, the Internet Browser supports the HTML5 Gamepad API. The problem is that I don't have a NEW 3DS and I would like to test this feature in UsendMii.

Here is the link to the a beta version. Like I said before, there is no way for me to test, so please report any bugs or weird behaviors.

UsendMii Beta 5

Documentation can be found here: http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/UsendMii

Thanks a lot

video worked for 9 minutes then stopped. couldn't figure out controller options

I have updated the link in the first post to the Beta 6 version.

It's not easy to develop a software without the hardware for testing. At least you are there to help me

I have added some code to the web page and hopefully this will prevent scrolling. I have followed the instruction given by @jsa

It might be a limitation on the 3DS? Maybe I should test with my Wii U to see if I have the same limitation!

Here are the steps from the Information section:

Choose an available port for the web server. By default port 80 is used.
Map the GamePad buttons to the wanted keys.
- Left-click on the button to detect the input (keyboard or mouse).
- Right-click on the button to show a pop-up menu. The Clear, vJoy, Detect and Mouse option could be used to set a key.
Click on the Start button.
Open the Wii U Internet Browser and use one the URLs shown in UsendMii (URL to use in the Wii U Internet Browser).
In the menu tap on the PC Inputs button.
You may need to click on the Refresh button each time UsendMii starts.

The latest beta works beautifully, the screen mapping is spot on, and I figured out how to play videos using your recommendation. There is absolutely no scrolling, it works perfectly! The only thing that I wish you could do was add gyroscope functions, but I know that probably is not possible.

Hello, I am very pleased to hear that it works. I was wondering... I want to add your name to the credit section of the software. Do you want me to write @The Official GMan or another name?

Before I finalize every thing for the release. Can you tell me if the Device Orientation HTML API works on the New Nintendo 3DS. To test that, simply go to http://wellcaffeinated.net/demos/device-orientation and tell me if the arrow is moving.

Thanks

Thank you for considering adding me to the credit section. Yes, to answer your question, I would like my name to be @The Official GMan. And unfortunately, as I found out by the site that you just posted, the new 3ds does not support the device orientation html api

. I realize that means that it is impossible to implement gyroscope functions into usendmii.
Always glad to help

UsendMii 0.3.0 has been officially released. I have updated the link in the first post.

Here is my video to announce the new version:

Feel free to make a YouTube video with a New 3DS and to link it in my video.

Thanks :yay3ds:
