Curiously, how do you set up the config file for POV? I've tried POV_UP (because that was the only thing I could think of) and it didn't work. Other than that, works great!
D Pad: POV
then it doesn't matter what the individual directions are set to. It will choose the type of pov automatically based on how you set up your vjoy.

This is assuming you're using my latest release 0.7.2 (though 0.7.1 has some sort of POV support as well)

This has real potential as far as emulators go. They should build this into Retroarch.
This literally is not an emulator? Also the TAP option is completely nonexistent... idk why I keep leaving that in the ini haha.

Mac OS X support possible?

Looks lovely anyways! :3
On the last page someone says it works in Wine or whatever they call that on mac... Wineskin.

I have been using this app and now that I got CFW I installed the .cia file to use it from there. To my surprise, when I use it as cia, my c stick inputs from my new 3ds doesn't work, but if I but it from hbl it works as usual so is this a problem in general with the cia build or it has something to do with my CFW in particular? I have ReiNAND 3.0 and emunand on 10.3.
Nah it's probably my bad, I haven't tested the cia at all (and couldn't until recently).
 

Dolphin refuses to detect any input if i put the focus away it recognizes it though but everything else works i mean the joystick works but no Dolphin i don't understand

Windows 10
Dolphin 4.0 7840

What I mean is as a controller for DS and GBA games on PC. Sure, maybe it doesn't work as well as an Xbox controller, but it's a controller nonetheless.

Also, why does the D-pad output NUM8, NUM6, NUM4 and NUM2 instead of the arrow keys? And why doesn't the joystick work, even with vjoy?

Not sure, I did look up all the codes it's using and it specifically is pressing the arrows, which are separate to the numpad keys... but maybe windows changes this for some reason. A workaround is just to disable numpad (I know, annoying :P)

As for the joystick it works fine for me, so idk. It sounds like the c-stick specifically isn't working in the cia version, but everything else should be fine.
 
When Citra gets finished I'll play it using my 3ds

I know it's useful to use it for emulators on PC, what I meant was you can play GBA/3DS/other games on your 3DS directly (assuming you have homebrew, cfw and aren't against piracy). DS games are the only ones I can see people play on the PC using 3DS, since not everyone has a flashcart.
 
I can't seem to understand how it connects... I opened the app on my PC and on my 3DS but no button or tapping on the keyboard worked. Any solution?
 
In the 3DS download, there should be a config (.ini) file. Put it on the root of your SD card. Set the IP and Port to match the one on your PC.
Tried to change the IP twice (as the PC app shows 2 IP addresses), and none of them worked....
 
That either means that it's crashed or that it's working. Do you get a "3DS connected!" message on the PC?
Not at all, just a black screen. The 3DS app still runs (I can push the emulated keyboard and get response) but nothing shows up on my PC.
