Okay, I give up. I don't know why this isn't working. I can get the 3DS connected on both 0.6 and unofficial 0.7, and I can get the mouse to move with the touch screen, and any specified vJoy buttons to work, (analog stick, any buttons configured as JOY1/2/3 etc.) however it absolutely refuses to work with any hard key bindings. Though not essential, (keys can be mapped to vJoy buttons) for my purposes, I need the touchscreen tap to be able to click the mouse. This apparently cannot be mapped to a vJoy key, and also does not work as is.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it my system/setup? For reference, I'm on Windows 10 x64, with an o3DS tested in both sysnand 9.2 and emunand 10.7 to no avail.

The tap option doesn't actually exist, and I'm not sure if it ever did. I thought I removed it from the ini but I guess I forgot, sorry for the confusion.

Huh... that's a shame. Yeah, it's not in the unofficial 0.7 release, but it was in 0.6, and just didn't work. I had just assumed that in 0.7 it had been integrated or something. Is there any way I can replicate the necessary functionality without external software like AutoClick? (Alternatively, if you know of any software LIKE AutoClick, but that only activates when the mouse is in motion, that would work all the same.)

Anyways, there's still the issue of it not recognizing hard keybindings to begin with. Essentially, at this point all I can do is move the mouse with the touchscreen. No keys work, and I can't click with the screen. Furthermore, if I press a key, (via 3DS) in a given window, the cursor will stop responding to 3DS input. o-O

For the record, I'm trying to get this running with No$Zoomer, and a game that controls like Metroid Prime Hunters. This essentially requires that I be "clicking" with the touch screen at all times that I'm in motion.

I just want to thank everyone who helped developed this program! I injured my hands and the 3DS is the ONLY way I'm able to play games. I'd love to see KEYS as a mapping option for the analog pad. Selectable profiles would be nice, too.

I haven't tested it with Windows 10, so perhaps that's the problem? I haven't seen this myself. Are you using the proper ini file for the version you're using?
Perhaps try running it as an admin, or something.

I don't think it can do that as is, and I don't know a program that can help you, sorry. My best idea is binding ZL/ZR/Something unused to left click, and pressing it at the same time - a bit inconvenient though.

Cturt Please help me , I got a friend who owns a New 3ds and he is trying to map the Shoulder buttons and the C-stick but by some reason it does not work
PD: all the remaining buttons work perfectly except those 3

If you're using 0.6, I think new3ds buttons only work on the .3dsx version, not the .cia. If you're using my 0.7.2 then I guess maybe they should work on cia, but I'm still not sure if the cia works? I've had mixed responses on that.
So your best bet is to use the .3dsx version.

If you're using my 0.7.2 then this is an option.
Circle Pad: KEYS
Pad Left: A
Pad Right: D
Pad Up: W
Pad Down: S

Ah that sucks. I can see why it doesn't do that by default, but it would be nice if the program had a toggle so you could choose whether or not it clicks at the same time as you tap or hold the screen. That would make it essentially a perfect alternative to using a DS capture device to record, when it could then nearly as easily be done in an emulator. Granted however, not many games are as as difficult to record as Metroid Prime Hunters and BIONICLE Heroes.

As for the key bindings, it doesn't appear to be an admin thing. Can anyone else confirm this working on Win 10?

EDIT: Well I figured out my problem with key maps. Apparently it was a program called Synergy, which I use for multi-monitor set up across two PCs that was screwing with my inputs. It appears to work now.

Excuse me , Do you know anything about this 3dsController PC streaming or something?
Click to expand...
You mean PC to 3DS graphics streaming? that still hasnt been made a thing...

Or if you mean how this app works, The PC device makes a server for the 3DS to connect to (must be wirelessly connected to the same wifi connection), and on the 3DS' config.ini, it must have your PC's local IP, and both configs must have matching port numbers.
