dont be a entitled child. Be happy that 3ds even ever got a VNC homebrew. Your post sounds simply disgusting.
It's work on Old 3DS ?
I was thinking of using this to play some Steam games on my 3DS.
[EDIT]
Works perfectly on the Old 3DS. I'm really impressed, it worked on the first try, the 3DS commands for the PC are extremely fast, I didn't notice practically any delay, but the video is very slow... I tried it at 800x600, I didn't use a Virtual Machine but I will try later using lower resolutions.

I would love a version of that for the Wii U.

New version 1.0 is available - I decided to go straight to stable 
Changes towards v0.9 are:
Have fun!
Changes towards v0.9 are:
- added CIA/3DS version
- added streaming audio support (mp3 via HTTP)
- added on-screen keyboard
- configurable scaling (on/off)
- key value to toggle bottom backlight (8)
- The streaming audio needs a separate server on the VNC server machine. This can be easily setup using VLC media player (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/). I will write a small tutorial on the OP how to set this up.
- There are some additional function key values that can be mapped to in /3ds/TinyVNC/keymap:
1 = toggle keyboard
2 = disconnect
3-7 = mouse button 1-5 (1=left, 2=middle, 3=right, 4=wheelup, 5=wheeldown)
8 = toggle scaling
9 = toggle bottom screen backlight
Some of these functions are not mapped per default, so if you want them, you need to edit the above file.
Have fun!

Nop, it just took a long time to go. Apparently it no longer works at 720p resolution, but 1024x768 went without problems.

Well, if you show the keyboard, then the log is halfway hidden. And if you map a button to value 9, you can turn the bottom screen backlight off when pressing this button, meaning the bottom screen is black. Apart from this, there is no possibility as of now.
720p resolution is actually 1280×720px - which is too large for TinyVNC (>1024px). Even the previous version did not support this.
Great! It is working ,thanks.
I'm trying to get a pixel perfect picture at the original resolution 400x240, so I set the same resolution on the Raspberry Pi (and vnc server of course), but the screen of TinyVNC is still blurry, how can I fix it?
I cannot reproduce the issue. Can you post a screenshot of both your 3DS screens and the RPi screen?
Edit: One side note: The server screen is transmitted to TinyVNC using JPEG compression which is a lossy image format. This means, the VNC screen will never be a 1:1 copy of the server screen - it will always have very slight differences. Maybe this is what you are referring to?

Here is screenshot of the top screen, uncompressed.
The Raspberry Pi resolution set to 400x240 via command:
DISPLAY=:0 fbset -depth 16 -xres 400 -vxres 400 -yres 240 -vyres 240
And the VNC server started with that command line:
x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -shared -geometry 400x240

Yes, this is the JPEG-compression. If you move the mouse over the blurry screen portions, they should clear up.
You need to edit the file /3ds/TinyVNC/keymap and assign the right mouse button (5) to a 3DS key.
Hm, this would be a bug. Will check into that ...

So this might be a silly question, but I'm trying to use TightVNC inside of a VirtualBox vm and I can't quite figure out how to connect to the VM. I was able to connect to a VNC server on my host PC just fine, and from what I've been able to find, connecting to a VM should be an identical process (for reasons I admit I don't really understand ). I've also tried with ports both 3389 and 5900 but no dice. The 3DS and host PC are on the same network, and by all rights it really should work since I was easily able to connect to a server on my pc normally. Any guidance would be appreciated
It depends on how your network adapter is configured for your virtual machine. If you want your VM to be visible to the outside network, you need NAT with port forwarding or bridged networking. I recommend the later.
