User guide
Input Redirecting to your controller
- Connect your controller to your android phone in whatever way works (usb or bluetooth).
- Install and start IRdA on your phone.
- Check CAL Button and map your controller to the 3DS inputs. Uncheck it when completed.
- Check CAL Axis and bind the analog sticks axis. Cicle Pad is left stick. C-Stick is right stick.
- Start input redirection on your 3DS. Enter Rosalina menu on your 3DS (L+Down+Select) > Miscellaneous options > Start InputRedirection.
- Press B and take note of the IP adress on the top right of your screen.
- Press input IP address in the options in IRdA and write that IP address (both should be on the same network). Select Commit config.
- Exit out of rosalina and you should be able to control your 3DS with the controller.
Retroarch Multiplayer
- Go to settings and input. Scroll down to User 2 and set device to 3ds. Use the latest stable retroarch.
- Start any game with the emulator you want (snes9x2002 has issues with input changing).
- Go to quickmenu and controls. Go to Player 2 and set the corresponding left analog axes as dpad directions.
- Remember how you mapped your controller earlier and scroll down and set L as A and R as B etc.
- Then set Left Analog as the dpad by mapping the respective direction.
- The person using the controller will have to use the analog stick for movement, because the 3DS' Circle Pad won't work as long as it is receiving input from a controller.
- Make sure two controllers are connected for the system you're emulating. Sometimes this is in quickmenu options (i.e. pcsx_rearmed) other times in controls.
- You should be ready to play.
