-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;

-*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.'''
