3DS Controller is a homebrew application that lets you use a Nintendo 3DS as a controller for Windows computers.

Usage

Installation

For setting up the main homebrew executable, read how to launch 3DS homebrew.

If you want to use the circle pad as a joystick, first install vjoystick.

Copy the file 3DS/3DSController.ini to the root of the 3DS SD card. Change the line IP: 192.168.0.4 to the IP address of your computer (in the form 192.168.?.?). You can use 3DSController.exe to get this IP address.

If all goes right, the 3DS will show a black screen. You may try opening an application like Notepad and pressing buttons on the 3DS to see if it works.

Controls

L+R+X - Open/Close keyboard
