With the recent release of NTR, the video streaming has been vastly improved by 3-4x! This is awesome news for anyone who wants to capture their 3DS for live streaming or recording purposes. The improvements made the streaming a practical option for capturing the 3DS now! I have made a side by side comparison of the first and second preview so you can see the improvements with your own eyes.

The games tested are:

• A Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf
• Mario Kart 7
• Super Smash Bros. 3DS

Side by Side Comparison

 

Only thing left now is sound

 

That would be cool, but it might not be possible. Not speaking from a performance standpoint, but if the method used for the streaming is sending the video from the memory maybe the sound is handled differently and we won't be able to get it. This is speculation on my part since I'm not sure how all of this is done.

That's a lot less convenient. I'm not saying it's unreasonable, but it's less favorable than having sound already, assuming it's possible.

 

I agree. I'd happily sacrifice sound in the stream for a more stable video feed. It's simple enough to plug the 3DS into a PC via an audio cable for that.

 

People that spent the price of a brand new collector console for a capture card be like

 

I made a quick video to show a friend who's interested in capturing 3DS footage. He's really into interpolation techniques to improve framerate in Anime/Videos that are <60FPS and he ran the brief bit I gave him through it and I've got to say, I'm impressed. My network situation isn't the best so had around 30fps with drops as low as 20fps, he mentioned to me that a more constant framerate would make the interpolation better and again if he wanted to he could edit it more to speed up the footage during drops to keep the video at a steady framerate. Just food for thought for those looking to use this to make professional videos.



Edit: Original footage for comparison sake

 

Holy crap that looks great

 

nice !
I will can record stuff

 

dayum! would be cool if it would work on 10.4 Firm

 

10.2 FIRM works just fine though. I don't see a need for it supporting newer FIRM until Nintendo change something so the latest firmware breaks on older FIRM.

Install the CIA, put ntr.bin on the root and launch, wait for it to finish and close BootNTR.
Hold X+Y, enable debugger
Open up NTR Debugger and NTR Viewer
Find your 3DS IP, type connect('3ds ip', 8000) in the debugger and it should connect
Type remoteplay()
The stream should start and the debugger will disconnect with an error after a few seconds, you can now close the debugger.

I was exaggerating, but capture cards aren't worth much now. They were always overpriced, but I wouldn't buy one for more than $50 now
