Homebrew RD3DS (Remote Desktop 3DS)

[Shinitai]

Not to be confused with 3DSRemoteDesktop. RD3DS does the same thing but, err, better.

If you already tried 3DSRemoteDesktop and want to know what RD3DS does better:
- Possibly better or at least more stable framerate? I think? I didn't really compare.
- Option menu *HOLD START AND SELECT TO OPEN*, with a couple of quality options.
- Err... Oh, right. Handles connections and disconnections better. Sometimes it fucks up but mostly you should be able to leave the server running and connect/disconnect multiple times, or viceversa.
- Server doesn't close with Esc. If you want to close it just close it. With the little red X.
- Client doesn't partially obscure the screen with a message.
- The first row of pixels is not at the end...
- 100% C. Not sure that's something to be proud about, but...

Planned:
- Try to optimize framerate as much as possible (try UDP, maybe dxgi, play around with different compression methods...).
- Map 3DS buttons to keyboard keys.
- Study the source code for 3DSController and integrate it maybe?
- Save client settings?
- Have server settings. Currently the port is hardcoded.
- Capture fullscreen applications. Not sure how.

I don't guarantee I'll keep working on it though. I've been known to randomly lose interest in stuff.

The download includes the client (.3dsx and .cia) and 32 and 64 bit verions of the server (.exe).

Also as a note, the client won't work with Citra. If, for whatever reason, you want a version that works with Citra, I can prepare one for you. I used the crap out of Citra during development.

Quick troubleshooting section:

Say your IP is 192.168.1.20, you'd enter 192.168.001.020.

I've never heard of 3DSRemoteDesktop or know what it does, is RD3DS like a capture software or some sort of control pad?

 

[Giodude]

Thanks . I always had issues with the old 3ds remote desktop. Will try soon. My 3ds screen comes in today.

Err, I wouldn't say either. More like a desktop duplication tool. It makes it so your 3DS shows the same thing your PC does.

So it basically just shows your desktop on your 3ds, and you can use your 3ds to use your desktop?

 

[BORTZ]

I remember the DS having something like this. People would spoof "Runescape on DS" and stuff with it. Fun little thing that was.

Yes

and you can use your 3ds to use your desktop?

and no.

There is no input from the 3DS to the PC yet. Possibly in the future.

 

[Boured]

Yes

That's pretty neat, I might try it then :3

 

[Phemeto]

Hmm, IP always says cant connect. Should I be running them on different networks or the same?

That should obviously be the same network.

 

[Buttsnake]

Great! That last one was ok, looking forward to tryingg out this one!

 

[Ricken]

Could this be used to stream PC to numerous devices?
Just Curious

EDIT; Also, any plan for .cia?
Hi I'm blind

If you mean multiple 3DS systems at the same time, then not really in its current state. I might consider it but it's not a priority.

 

[orangy57]

I'd love to see this and 3DSController's ability to control the PC. It would be amazing!

I'm gonna try this now.

 

[Ricken]

Potentially stupid question...
What IP should I be using and how would I type it?

Im consistently getting an error (Couldn't connect to server (120))

I would also like to know as I am getting this error, my IP does not have 3 digits in all sections

Does anyone's? lol

Usually a LAN IP is 192.168.x.x. Say your IP is 192.168.1.20, you'd enter 192.168.001.020.

So cool bro. On my dual screen setup it picks up main display. I was wondering if somehow I could make a "virtual" third display so we can use 3DS as a third PC screen.

I tried NTR streaming to take an inception pic, but NTR crashes HBL, can't wait for the CIA version to try that!

 

[Yami_Industries]

I need a cia version too!
