== NDS-controller ==
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ldvhrtn.ndscontroller Link to Android host App]
== Purpose ==
NDS-controller is a client app for the Nintendo DS that allows the DS to connect to an Android device over WiFi and to function as an input device. The main use case is controlling emulators: most emulated real-time games tends to be a pain to play on a touch screen and greatly benefit from being played on a gamepad.

Sure, a Bluetooth gamepad only costs like $50, but the Nintendo DS that is gathering dust in your closet is free! I started this project long ago, shelved it after losing interest and un-shelved it after buying a 3DS.
The NDS version was first started as an exercise with the goal of making something pretty and functional. The primary focus has shifted to functionailty during development and was released in 2017 (works on both DS and 3DS).


The NDS version started as an exercise in making something pretty and functional, but I lost interest before it became functional. I decided to skip the "pretty" step in the 3DS version and got it working first. The "pretty" may come at some later time.

NDS-controller is a client app for the Nintendo DS that allows the DS to connect to an Android device over WiFi and to function as an input device. The main use case is controlling emulators: most emulated real-time games tends to be a pain to play on a touch screen and greatly benefit from being played on a gamepad.

The NDS version was first started as an exercise with the goal of making something pretty and functional. The primary focus has shifted to functionailty during development and was released in 2017 (works on both DS and 3DS).

Features

  • Create some sort of connection wizard.
  • Make it pretty.
  • Enable connecting to a WiFi network.
  • Create an Android keyboard that accepts network packets as input.
  • Translate NDS input to network packets and send them to Android device.
  • Write a 3DS version.
  • Open-source it all.

Installation

Prerequisites

  • A flashcart or CFW on your (3)DS.
  • Android devices (requires Android 2.2 or later) or Android emulator app.
  • Android host App.

NDS

Run the .nds file using the compatible homebrew-/flashcard of your choice.

Follow the instructions on-screen to connect it to the same WiFi network your phone is on (a tethered hotspot is fine too).

Run the NDS-controller app on your Android device and follow the instructions from there.

3DS
