Hacking NTRCFW 3.4 Preview1(Support video output on New 3DS)

[CrispyYoshi]

Hmm, I seem to have trouble with this too.

I have my Windows Firewall disabled (running Windows 10) and I type in the IP/port given in FTP-3ds, using the latest NTR and bootntr.cia in aureinand with the 10.2 NTR firmware.bin from FIRMS.7z

I launch NTR Debugger and Viewer as admin and then I type the connect('3dsip',port) and remoteplay() functions after enabling NTR Debug, but it doesn't seem to work properly (the syntax is correct, but it won't let me in)

Incidentally, trying to connect() while FTP-3ds is running seems to work just moments after sending the command, but remoteplay() doesn't work. Does this mean that NTR CFW itself is failing to host the server properly, or am I doing something wrong?

Here's the debugger log:

[DeslotlCL]

has anyone tried to run this on a o3ds? or it simply wont work?

 

[ars25]

got it to work by disableing firewall

 

[NekoMichi]

NTR is updated to support wireless video out, and then KatsuKity announces a sale on all capture card products later the same day. Coincidence?

Here's some more tests:
Basically any "2D" game will stream very nicely: Isaac, Shovel Knight, Terraria, etc. but the "3D" games stream at the rate of slideshows (exaggerating here). So, honestly, you could very well stream 2D games as of this initial public preview! Hopefully "3D" based games will come along nicely as development progresses! I tried launching the Homebrew launcher but it didn't go to well, oh well!

Your 3D video is still amazing compared to most other tests. Currently I'm getting less than 1FPS with 3D games and some don't even display. It also looks like most homebrew apps don't mirror their video either for some reason (I tested several RetroArch cores, none of them show up in the viewer, although switching to the Home Menu does cause their image to appear as a frozen frame).

Interesting. I have a ~150 dollar router so maybe that's why i'm getting such good results.... *shrug* haha. Really cool stuff!

Possibly, router is definitely a factor here. I'm also running Windows as a virtual machine under OS X, not sure if that's another factor.

Side note: Any chance someone could port NTR debugger and ntrviewer to OS X?

 

[Kibido]

Can we use the other BootNTR.cia which auto exited? Don't understand what the one in the download has that the other one doesn't aside from brightness and power features.

 

[DarkFlare69]

This has probably been asked in this thread but im not reading the whole thing.

How many FPS can i get when streaming on MK7 to my PC? I have a netgear router that supports 5G with 90Mb/s download and 15Mb/s upload (if that matters)

My PC, 3DS and router are all in the same room.

if someone can do a video of mario kart 7 that would be great

 

[Octoling]

Wait so does this mean we don't have to have a capture card anymore?!

Not quite, it still has a lot of issues such as stability and performance. But it's a huge leap in that direction.

Edit:
It might be worth people putting their router speed/hardware configurations down when posting recordings as this could affect the video performance too. For example, I'm using a max 54Mbps 802.11b/g/n router, which might be why I'm getting about 0.4FPS when launching 3D games.

i will just left this here most stable part was 1:47 btw i got copyrighted by nintendo

 

[Psi-hate]

Got the best game playing on this. <3

I seem to be having issues with this. When I run the remoteplay command it fails.

Here's the console output:

No idea what it means but streaming doesn't work.

I switched to a much better wireless network and was able to get a solid 30FPS... for about 5 seconds, and then streaming froze and crashed. Now NTR debugger is semi-permanently broken and refuses to detect my 3DS. I've restarted everything and verified that all devices are connected to the same network. After starting up NTR and enabling debugger on the console, I tried to connect to the 3DS via the debugger but it now throws up the same error as if the 3DS isn't connected to the same network. I'm using the exact same configurations as when it was working, but for some reason now the debugger isn't detecting my 3DS at all. Any ideas why, or should I just throw in the towel?

I'd sometimes get a few errors or so. I usually just closed out of all of the programs, reset the 3ds, and tried again. It always worked after doing that stuff.

 

[ironboy68]

Can somebody make a how-to for dummy? I'm stuck at putting the port and setting the fakeproxy (?).

 

[Intronaut]

Why does NTR not work with lastest firmware.bin ?

 

[NekoMichi]

I'd sometimes get a few errors or so. I usually just closed out of all of the programs, reset the 3ds, and tried again. It always worked after doing that stuff.

Turns out it was because of the "router" I was using. Or rather, the tethering app on my phone. For some reason, it would boot all devices off after 5 minutes but still display them as connected, which explains why they couldn't talk wth each other. I had to install another tweak to bypass this.

But thanks for your help anyway
