Known issues

  1. In some circumstances the in-game plugin will fail to load after video streaming was activated. If you need any in-game plugins, it is recommended to start video streaming after the game was loaded and paused to home menu.

  2. Closing the lid or starting another games after exiting the game after video streaming was activated will cause console hangs on. Do not close the lid or switch games when the video streaming was activated.

Setting up WiFi AP

The video streaming feature requires a high-quality WiFi network for good performance. Please setup you WiFi AP with following instructions.

  1. It is recommended to setup your AP on a WiFi router. Most USB WiFi dongles have bad quality for video streaming.

  2. Connect PC and WiFi router with LAN cable or 5GHz WiFi network. Do not connect your PC and router with 2.4GHz WiFi because it may conflict with 3DS's connection.

  3. Set a appropriate channel for WiFi AP, the video streaming connections may conflict with WiFi on same channel in neighborhood, try 1/6/11 channels to maximize the quality.

  4. Take a look at the quality on NTRViewer. When the NTRViewer started, it will print the quality and fps messages periodically on the console, the quality should be higher than 90% for a average quality, if the quality is lower than 80% for most times, try to move your console, set the radio power on router or change the channel setting.

  5. Wifi AP should be connected to Internet or configure 3DS with FakeProxy. 3DS will disconnect the WiFi AP if no internet connection was detected. It could be avoided by starting FakeProxy on the PC(START.bat), setting proxy address to PC's IP address and proxy port to 3000 on the 3DS. You should also open the TCP port 3000 in the firewall settings of your PC. The FakeProxy itself will not allow internet connections.

  6. Be careful with auto-update. 3DS will download update packages automatically when connected to Internet. If you don't like your 3DS to be auto-upgraded, you may block the update connections on the router's firewall setting, or setting up the FakeProxy.

How to activate video streaming

  1. .Net Framework 4 is required for NTR Debugger.

  2. Configure the Windows Firewall to allow listen on TCP port 3000 and UDP port 8001.

  3. Start NTR Debugger (ntrclient.exe) and NTR Viewer.

  4. Install BootNTR and copy ntr.bin to sdcard, start NTR CFW, there are many tutorials for doing that.

  5. Hold X+Y on 3DS, choose 'Enable Debugger' in NTR Menu. Type connect('192.168.X.XXX', 8000) on NTR Debugger to connect. 192.168.X.XXX should be replaced with 3DS's IP address.

  6. Type remoteplay().

  7. Normally you can view game screens in NTRViewer, take a look at the quality in the console output and adjust your WiFi AP if quality is too low.
