Homebrew 3DS Controller

[CTurt]

i want use my 3ds in dolphin but i have a lot of problem with the input. the most of the button have the same input in this emulator. i tested the 3ds with visualboy advance and with snes9x and there worked well. how i can solve the problem?

In the next version of 3DSController there is support for customisable controls which should fix your problem.

To all those who can't get this working, the next version allows you to change the port that is used, hopefully this will fix it, if not, then I don't know what the problem is.

thanks for this.

I wonder if Circle Pad Pro support can be added. It has an extra analog and 2 shoulder buttons. It should give enough buttons to play nearly every pc game with joystick support out there.

I was wondering, if you could make the 3ds act like an xbox controller

E.G bind "a" to "buttonA"

Still dont know why this program works on my laptop and not my pc still trying to find it out

I would add Circle Pad Pro support, but ctrulib doesn't support it. Ask smealum

I just published version 0.2!

I am a user who had this not working in the past

I changed my port to 4001. This is a port I use for developing stuff in C#. I have forwarded this port but you SHOULDNT need to

It works now

Great work.
It would be nice to be able to connect it with Android devices too. This would allow it to use the 3DS as a wifi-gamepad for RetroArch and other emulators.

i think i found the problem. the problem is vjoy when we want to use this circle pad as stick.

Sweet, with 0.2 it's finally working for me, too.

Just about to try this out and it says that you need a internet connection, will this still be able to be used while online if say nitnendo releases a system update in the future. To be able to use this with the wifi on without the wifi downloading a nintendo 3ds system update?

Am I the only one having a bit of trouble with the circlepad either working wrong (for example with PCSX2 I can't seem to configure that one properly, it seems to get stuck with one direction instead of working properly) or just not working at all (like with PPSSPP, when trying to configure the bindings - Analog up/down/left/right doesn't react to the circlepad moving in that direction)?

im going to try it now, ima download a psp game to test it with to make a vid for you

@nintendoboy128 CRAP Oh well....

 

[fatboynate]

you need to provide us with the same ini that you use on your sd card because i dont think we are using the right format in our own ini files

Ok, just an idea that is virtually impossible as of right now, but perhaps in the future, not so much. I love this idea, and I think that it would be great to make the 3DS into an MFi (made for iPhone/Pod/Pad/Poop) controller. There are a few controllers out there for iDevices, but most of them aren't great. And I remember like last year, someone made a tweak for jailbroken iDevices that would let them use a DualShock 3 or 4 controller with their iDevice. So I think it's feasible, just would need some more work and implementation. Sidenote: Apple has designated two control schemes for controllers to use. One has a D-Pad, two shoulder buttons, and standard face buttons (A,B,X,Y). The other uses all of these, in addition it also uses dual joysticks and another pair of shoulder buttons, so once CCP support is a thing. Then you could switch between those two schemes for the 3DS.

Pretty sure iDevices use bluetooth for their controllers, something like this would only work on with jailbroken devices or possibly if the specific app was programmed with the ability to look for and use this method of input.....ish, it might happen but i would assume it would only be for jailbroken devices

 

[fatboynate]

it works amazing,having an background image on the bottom screen would be nice like a grey image with a crosshair. i dont mind making a rough idea

for people who cant get it to work, in the 3DSController.ini you must just type ip address followed by the port for example 192.168.1.19:8888

 

[stewartisme]

I was haveing some trouble but changing the port worked

Awesome job! I tried playing some Binding of Isaac Rerbith with it and it worked well. I'll have to try it with the joystick later.

Quick question, by flash card, would an R4 work or do you mean gateway and the like? Because I have an R4 card and when I copy the 3DSController.3ds file to it, I can't find it on my 3DS (it doesn't show along with all the games on it.) I put the file on the root of it (the micro SD card that goes in the R4), and I put the .ini file I created in the 3DS's actual SD card. Any advice? Thanks!

Got this working, works good. Is there any plans for circle pad support in the future for this?
