| This page will show you how to stream your New 3DS console's screens to your computer over WiFi. However, note the following things:
| | *Your console and your computer need to be on the same network. |
| | *Streaming audio over WiFi currently isn't possible, you will need to use an AUX cable and a device with Line In to receive audio. |
| | *If you have a poor connection, you may not get the best results. |
| | *While you shouldn't stream from an Old 3DS console due to the very low frames you will get, the section is still here as a 'proof of concept' thing that you can mess around with. '''It is not intended for practical use.''' |

| * Your console and your computer need to be on the same network.
| | ==Finding your Console's IP== |
| * Streaming audio over WiFi currently isn't possible - you will need to use an AUX cable and a device with Line In at the same time to receive audio. | | {{Info|text=This section is crucial if you want to stream. You should follow this first, regardless of what streaming method you choose.}} |
| * If you have a poor connection, you may not get the best results. The receiving computer should be connected to the network via Ethernet or a 5GHz WiFi connection. | | ===Section I: Finding your IP with FBI=== |
| | #Open FBI on your console |
| | #Use the D-Pad to scroll down to <code>Remote Install</code> and press A |
| | #Select <code>Recieve URLs over the network</code> |
| | #*Your console's IP should now be on screen, take note of it |

| == Using Line In to Receive Audio ==
| |
| | |
| === What You Need ===
| |
| | |
| * A 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable
| |
| * An audio in (line in or microphone in) port on your computer
| |
| ** Some computers have a single "headphone" port that can be used for both audio output and input. To use one of these, you will need a Y splitter cable
| |
| | |
| === How to use ===
| |
| | |
| # Connect your 3DS to your computer's audio input port with a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable
| |
| # Pipe the audio from your audio input port into the software you intend to use
| |
| #* The exact steps will depend on the software you're using
| |
| #* If you are recording or streaming your game using [https://obsproject.com/ OBS], add a new Audio Input Capture
| |
| #* If you are streaming your game via a service such as Discord, you will need to use software such as [https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/ Voicemeeter] to mix your microphone and 3DS audio inputs together
| |
| #** If you do not wish to speak while streaming, simply point the app at the 3DS's audio device
| |
| #** If you do not wish to mix your microphone and 3DS audio inputs together, you can set up a scene using [https://obsproject.com/ OBS], create a Windowed Projector Preview and share on Discord that window. Then, in [https://obsproject.com/kb/audio-mixer-guide#setting-audio-levels Advanced Audio Properties], turn on the Audio Monitoring for the 3DS Audio Input Capture so that viewers on Discord can hear the 3DS audio. Note that this last step will direct the 3DS audio also to your audio output device (headphones/speakers).
| |
| #* To simply listen to the audio, you can [https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/126383-listen-microphone-through-playback-device-windows.html listen to the audio input device in Windows]
| |
|
| |
|
| == Troubleshooting == | | ==Using Line In to Receive Audio== |
| | ===What You Need=== |
|
| |
|
| * Games such as those in the Pokemon series, Smash Bros 3DS and many more may crash when trying to load or after a loading screen. To avoid this issue, ensure that the debugger is enabled. To do this see [[3DS:Check local IP address|this]] page.
| | ==Troubleshooting== |
| * Similarly, such of the above games may disable Wi-Fi connection while using Snickerstream when trying to play online. To counter this, make sure to enable NFC Patch in Snickerstream.
