Homebrew [Release] 3dsNode - The ultimate web browser utility

[Skyforce77]

​

What is 3dsNode ?
3dsNode is a complete open source streaming system for New 3ds systems. It uses the new web browser.
It will run on your computer connected to the same network as your New 3ds, it uses NodeJS and optionally Java.
The 3dsNode system was made to easily create Java and Javascript homebrews that run on your computer with web streaming.

So, has 3dsNode default apps ?
3dsNode contains four default apps :

3dsArch
3dsArch is a Java plugin loader that provides a streaming API to make simple games and utilities.
You are a developer and want to create 3dsArch app ? Just read the "Developers" part of this thread
Need Java.

Controller
This app emulate keyboard entries using your New3ds buttons.
I use it to play games on my TV. You can see the key mapping here (Controller App > About)
An example of use:

Need Java.

Media
With the media app you can play your computer videos and sounds using your New 3ds to choose files and play them. It uses FFMPEG to transcode incompatible videos.

Remote
This app allows you to connect two web browsers, one used to display videos and your New 3ds to control it. I created this app to be able to display my computer movies on my Smart TV being able to play/pause etc using my New 3ds.

Developers

Java development :
the API is available here: https://github.com/3dsNode/3dsArch-API
you can use this example app to learn how it works: https://github.com/3dsNode/3dsArch-2048

PS:
This homebrew was made more than one year ago (When I got my ambassador New 3ds) and I stopped his development. I could add more abilities to 3dsNode if people are interested in.
I am the original creator of this app and am here to answer to your questions
My english could be a bit glitchy

Looks really good! How's the delay on the controller app? I've tried some of the other apps out there which do the same thing but the input delay is always huge. Also is the controller Mac-compatible since it's Java based?

I love when I wake up to something cool on the Temp. Thanks for sharing this and I will def check it out when I get home. Great job!

Java is multiplatform so you can
I optimized the Controller app to minimize the delay but I can't tell you exactly how it is. I used it with Minecraft and Titan Attacks !, the delay wasn't a problem, it depends on your needs I think ^^.

The video is a little bit outdated, you will not have the matrix screen x')
You just have to install NodeJS and run the .bat

This is really neat and I plan on using this frequently. That icon is just awesome too

You can use the config file (config/default.json)

I can't play first person games with controllers, but it could be done ;P

 

[Yami_Industries]

I run the bat file but, it only is open for two seconds... is that all I need to do? or is it broken?

 

[Joom]

Very nice. Was wondering if Node would ever make it to the 3DS.
