3DS:STREAM

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 only works for New 3DS. If you absolutely want a method for Old 3DS, there is HzMod. Keep in mind that performance is still very bad and it is not intended for practical use.

This page will show you how to stream your New 3DS console's screens to your computer over WiFi.

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.

Finding your Console's IP

You'll need to know the local IP address of your 3DS later, so it's a good idea to find it now.

Start the Homebrew Launcher
Press Y

Launch FBI
Select "Remote Install"
Select "Receive URLs over the network"

Open Rosalina with Left Shoulder+↓+Select
Select "Debugger options..."
Select "Enable debugger"
Press B to continue
Find the IP address in the top right corner
Recommended: Select "Disable debugger"

Streaming with NTR+Snickerstream (recommended)

At the time of writing this, BootNTR Selector is not compatible with the latest standard release of Luma3DS. To combat this, we will be using a custom build with support for BootNTR.

What You Need

Your console's IP from the first section
The latest release of Snickerstream
The latest release of Luma3DS 3GX Loader
The latest release of BootNTR Selector
FBI installed on your console

Section I: Prep Work

Ensure that your console and your computer are on the same network
Download and extract the latest Snickerstream .zip file
Download the latest Luma3DS 3GX Loader boot.firm file
Download the latest BootNTR Selector .cia file
Power off your console
Take the SD card out of your console and put it into your computer
Replace the boot.firm file on the root of your SD card with the Luma3DS 3GX Loader one you downloaded
Copy the BootNTR selector .cia file to your SD card
- You may put this file where you can easily access it
Put your SD card back into your console

Section II: Installing CIAs

Power on your console
- If you are prompted with a Luma3DS configuration screen, just press START
Open FBI
Press A on SD at the top of your bottom screen
Find the BootNTR Selector .cia file that you copied, press A on it and select Install and delete CIA
Press START to exit FBI

Section III: Streaming

Open the Snickerstream .exe file from where you extracted it
On your console, open the gift that appeared on your home menu and launch BootNTR Selector
- If you're prompted with 3 buttons on your bottom screen, tap "Use default"
- If you're prompted to choose an NTR version, choose 3.6
- Your console's screen should flash some colors, meaning that it's ready for streaming
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
Click Connect! in the Snickerstream window
- Your console's screens should now be streamed to your computer

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

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 OBS, add a new audio capture source
- If you are streaming your game via a service such as Discord, you will need to use software such as 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
- To simply listen to the audio, you can listen to the audio input device in Windows
