Chokistream is a Nintendo 3DS wireless video capture software, compatible with BootNTR and HzMod and the only cross-platform video capture software to support HzMod.
It is a from-scratch re-implementation of Snickerstream, with planned TARGA support from TGAHz and HorizonScreen.
Features
- Portable as it's just a standalone jar file.
- TGA (lossless compression) support for HzMod, the only application other than HorizonScreen to do so.
- Various display output options to get it looking just right on your monitor.
- Can run entirely headless and stream straight to a video file (currently unstable).
- Color correction modes to fix whatever weirdness HzMod may throw your way.
- Dual-Screen HzMod support for version 2017-05-05 (one of two dual-screen versions).

Using Chokistream
Note: This requires Java 17 to run.
When you first launch Chokistream (create a file named chokistream.ini in the same directory if it's not there), you'll need to select the mod you're using (NTR or HzMod) and fill in the IP of your 3DS. These are the most important parts of the setup. There are a number of homebrew apps that can show you your IP:
- Wi-Fi Status Checker (available on Universal Updater).
- ftpd (available on Universal Updater).
- FBI > Remote install > Receive URLs... (available on Universal Updater).
- Use a network scanner, such as the one in the WIFIman app or a PC utility like Nmap.
You may want to set the layout for a better appearance, and the scale if you find that the image is too small. It is recommended to use integer scaling, but decimal is also supported. Depending on your mod, you'll likely also want to set mod settings.
NTR settings:
- Quality is a trade-off between image quality and speed. It ranges from 0-100.
- If the game you're streaming uses the bottom screen heavily, you may want to switch the priority screen to bottom.
HzMod settings:
- Quality is a trade-off between image quality and speed.
- For versions supporting TGA, 0 quality requests TGA. (You can also use the check box).
- The requested screen probably doesn't do anything for any version of HzMod except potentially 2017-05-05.
Once you're ready, hit "Connect!". After it connects to the 3DS, it should start showing the display(s). You can press S to take a screenshot, or up and down to adjust the quality if you're using HzMod.
