3DS:Wireless streaming

The guides below can't be used to stream DS games, DSiWare, and GBA games. You will need a hardware capture card to do that.

This page will show you how to stream your 3DS console's screens to your computer over WiFi. For both methods, keep the following things in mind;

• 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.

Finding your Console's IP

This section is crucial if you want to stream. You should follow this first, regardless of what streaming method you choose.

Section I: Finding your IP with FBI

1. Open FBI on your console
2. Use the D-Pad to scroll down to Remote Install and press A
3. Select Recieve URLs over the network
   • Your console's IP should now be on screen, take note of it
   • This IP is a local IP for your device and it is not your actual public IP

Section II: Finding your IP with the Homebrew Launcher

1. Open the Homebrew Launcher on your console
2. Press Y
   • Your console's IP should now be on screen, take note of it
   • This IP is a local IP for your device and it is not your actual public IP

Streaming with NTR+Snickerstream (recommended)

This method is not possible with Old 3DS models. You will need to follow the HzMod guide below.

What You Need

• Your console's IP from the first section
• The latest release of Snickerstream

Streaming with HzMod+Snickerstream

This method is only favorable for Old 3DS models, and even then it does not perform very well. Do not use this method if you are using a New 3DS.

What You Need

• Your console's IP from the first section
• The latest release of Snickerstream
• HzMod
• FBI installed on your console

Section I: Prep Work

1. Ensure that your console and your computer are on the same network
2. Download and extract the latest Snickerstream .zip file
3. Download and extract the HzMod .zip file
4. Take the SD card out of your console and put it into your computer
5. Copy the HorizonM.cia and HzLoad.cia files from where you extracted the HzMod .zip file to your SD card
   • You may put these files anywhere where you can easily access them
   • If you plan on streaming extended memory games, Copy the HzLoad_HIMEM.cia file to your SD card as well
6. Put your SD card back into your console

Section II: Installing CIAs

1. Power on your console if it is not already on
2. Open FBI
3. Press A on SD at the top of your bottom screen
4. Find the .cia files that you copied, press A on each one and select Install and delete CIA
   • Once you are done, press START to exit FBI

Section III: Streaming

1. Open the Snickerstream .exe file from where you extracted it
2. Change the Streaming app on the right side of the Snickerstream window to HzMod in the dropdown
3. On your console, open all the gifts that appeared on your HOME menu and open HorizonM Loader
   • If you plan on streaming extended memory games, open HorizonM HIMEM Loader instead
   • Your notification LED should now turn cyan, meaning it's ready for streaming
4. Input your console's IP from the first section into the IP box in the Snickerstream window
   • You may also adjust your settings to your liking if you wish
5. Click Connect! in the Snickerstream window
   • Your console's notification LED should turn green, and it's top screen should now be streamed to your computer
   • Low framerates are normal with this method, they can't be improved too much either, making this not very viable for actually streaming
