Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.
The server will run on all systems that is able to run Java applications - this means just about every system possible (Windows, OS X, Linux and other unix variants) - the only problems that could emerge would be with media key key-mappings or shutdown/restart commands.
In 2009, it was voted as one of the top 20 DS homebrews.
Features
- Client and server configuration.
- Server program must be running on the PC to be controlled.
Installation
Remote Touch DS is a client-server based solution. Therefore you will need to have a daemon/server up and running on the computer you want to remote control. The daemon/server is located inside the server folder. You can launch start_server_win.bat on Windows, or start_server_unix.sh on unix systems. You also need to have Java installed on your system.
Download and extract the latest version file.
Copy the /server/ folder from the .zip to the computer you want to control.
Launch start_windows_server.bat and the program will confirm it's running on port 7777.
Extract rtdsclient.nds from the /client/ folder of the .zip to your card.
Run the .nds.
Enter the server's IP address and port number (default 7777).
Note: Make sure you open up port 7777 if your PC has a firewall. Use ipconfig to find out the IP address of your PC.

Changelog
0.6 major
- Up on D-pad in "cursor"-mode for middle mouse click.
- Complete revamped server-backend rewritten in Java with full GUI (will work cross-platform; Windows and OS X/*unix etc.).
- Add support for custom key-mapping (gamepad-like feature) - configure this with the new server-backend GUI.
- Custom adjustment of mouse acceleration.
0.3 major
- Y button in "cursor"-mode for ALT.
- A button in "cursor"-mode for TAB.
- X and B in "cursor"-mode for scroll.
- Adding left/right shoulder buttons to also mimic mouse clicks.
- Accelerated cursor movements; much like a real touchpad.
- Fixing problems when reconnecting to the server. You are now able to reconnect to the server without having to restart the server!
- Implementing a battery-saver feature - when the DS lid is closed.
- Upgraded to dswifi to 0.3.10. The wifi connection is much more stable now.
- Corrected X and Y on keyboard and fixed some of the currently missing keys. I have a problem locating all the keys.
- Added onscreen cursor to the client making it easier to see last cursor position.
- Removed manual input of server IP and port. You now need to put a "rtds_config.txt" in the root of your cartridge with this data.
- Server partially rewritten - fixed problem with reconnect.
- Client GUI features/eyecandy implemented. Also better netcode.
0.2.2 hotfix
- Minor changes on the server backend - possible problem with shutdown/restart on XP (maybe) fixed.
0.2.1 hotfix
- Not able to connect properly when manually inputting connection data now fixed.
0.2
- Media Control Extended (MEX) - good for Media Center or similar.
- Keyboard fully calibrated and working with key press sound for comfort.
- Remote restart or shutdown of your computer - good for those late night movie sessions where you just want to shutdown your computer directly from the comfort of your bed.
- Added support for a "rtds_settings.txt" config-file on your cartridge with connection data - look in README.txt for more info.
0.1 first public release
- Mouse and keyboard support + media play controls. Keyboard needs serious calibration, will be done later.
