[Homebrew] 3DS Remote Desktop

I have been working on a project on and off for about 2 weeks now. I decided to work on something else so I am releasing what I have. a 3DS Remote Desktop app that allows you to remote control your PC for games, movies, porn, etc.

It is still fairly rudimentary, but it works.

To use, set the server config file to set button input mappings, the port to use, and the destination screen size(mostly used for other platforms so just leave it at 400x240 because thats the 3DS' screen size). The input mappings require win32 virtual key code int values(ascii decimal value). A list of these can be found here. NOTE: The values here are HEX, so just convert them to decimal with windows calculator or online tools like this.

The client is still a bit ugly, but once you set the server and port to connect to(D pad for server, and L and R keys to set port), press A to connect. Once connected, press SELECT to start video link. At any point, press start to exit the client. You can press ESC to stop the server. Connects/disconnects still arent exactly clean, but oh well

A build can be found here, but I also have a build attached. The source can be found here. Please note, i have not included the source to LZ4, but i have included prebuilt library's. if you use these librarys, dont forget to forward lz4's licenced




Enjoy.

Thanks to Zoogie, there is a CIA build below(Idk how to link individual posts here ><)

you need directx 9 for the actual video capture. and maybe some runtimes? what errors are you getting?

3D stream IS possible, but it is not setup for that. enabling 3D would essentially double the packet size, and right now the packets are still big when playing a game, although i might try LZ4HC to compress the packets. But right now, the main slowdown is packet compression.

as of right now, no. And I dont think it would be possible unless we are able to eventually run "background" applications

The stuttering is caused by packet size and my poor network setup(this was running through 2 different routers where my pc and the 3DS are on different subnets, and one of the routers is old and crappy).

I grant you the gift of a blessing on your genitals to receive endless pleasures for eternity.

Yes, I was playing(watching) Super Mario Galaxy on dolphin(FYI: I do not support piracy). I have found that games that use direct input dont work properly with the remote input mapping thingy. I have been looking into using vjoy as a bridge so you can map the 3DS to an actual remote device. No ETA on this functionality tho

 

here, try this. I set the compiler to use static libraries. let me know if this fixes your issues
