First, A9LH gave us brick recovery without a hardmod, and now NTR gives us screen recording without a capture card. Is it Christmas already?! For those who are unfamiliar with the latest NTR release, the 3.4 preview enables users to wirelessly stream the N3DS screen to a PC, which can then be recorded via a screen recorder. From the initial NTR preview thread, there was a mix of different results with regards to video frame rate and streaming quality and it looks like several factors are at play.
The purpose of this thread is to provide a dedicated place for people to post footage recorded from their 3DS streams to show the quality that can be recorded with the latest NTR CFW. Please also post the setup specs such as console NAND information, CFW used under NTR, NTR build (for future preview builds), software tested, router used, router specs, router congestion, and PC specs. This is so that we can get a better understanding of what can be achieved so far and to identify any possible bottlenecks or limitations that can be monitored to improve recording quality.
Here's my example:
(Warning: Contains spoilers or plot ending details)
Console
N3DS XL/A9LH/AuReiNAND 4.2/Updated sysNAND 10.7
NTR CFW 3.4 preview version 1
OS
Windows 10 (virtual machine on OS X 10.11.4)
Router
TP-LINK D20 AC750
3DS connected via 2.4GHz 802.11b/g
PC connected via gigabit Ethernet
Recording Software
QuickTime 10.4
Console
N3DS XL/A9LH/AuReiNAND 4.2/Updated sysNAND 10.7
NTR CFW 3.4 preview version 1
OS
Windows 10 (virtual machine on OS X 10.11.4)
Router
iPhone 6 acting as wireless router with MyWi 9
iOS 9.0.2, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, 2.4/5GHz dual band/300mbps maximum transfer rate
No devices other than the PC and 3DS connected to the network, minimal congestion
Recording Software
QuickTime 10.4
Software Tested
- Home Menu
- Majora's Mask 3D
- Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
- Mario Kart 7
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
- Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains
- Nintendogs and Cats
So far I've noticed that the router used seems to be the biggest contributing factor, with old 802.11b/g 54mbps routers being unable to support proper streaming (either the bottom screen is completely missing from the stream or the entire stream is unable to sustain more than 3 frames before connection loss). Having dual band supposedly helps as it avoids interference with 2.4GHz from the 3DS* but I'm not sure how much of a contributing factor that is.
