rehid is a rewrite of the 3DS' hid module that allows you to flexibly remap buttons or the touch screen in 3DS titles.

Critical icon

Rehid does not work outside of 3DS Mode, so DS games, DSiWare, and GBA VC cannot have its buttons remapped using it. A workaround for DS games can be found here in the form of making a custom usrcheat.dat cheat file. If using open_agb_firm, you can remap buttons in /3ds/open_agb_firm/config.ini by referring to the Input section.

Features

• Remapping Buttons - Rehid allows you to remap buttons or combinations of buttons to different buttons or combos.
• Remapping Directional Input - Rehid also lets you remap the circle pad, remap the C stick, and/or map the circle pad and D-pad to each other.
• Remapping Touch - You can assign button inputs to points on the touchscreen, or map specific parts of the touchscreen to buttons.
• Per-Game Remaps - Rehid allows you to choose between applying a remap to only one specific title or applying it to all titles at once.
• RehidHelper - Rehid features an app to help you download its sysmodules, scan QR codes to install remaps, or disable rehid entirely.

Usage

Adding configs

1. Open the 3DS Remap Builder and configure your key mappings
2. When finished, click on Show as QR code
   • If you are unable to scan QR codes on your console, instead click Build this remap and place the downloaded rehid.json into the folder sd:/rehid, or sd:/rehid/<title ID>/ if you only want to remap a specific game. You can find the title ID of your game using 3dsdb
3. Power on your console and launch RehidHelper
4. Select Scan QR Code and scan the generated QR code from the website
5. Press A to proceed
6. Select a title from the list for the remap to be applied to, or select global to apply it to the entire console
7. Press START to exit

Disabling Rehid

1. Launch RehidHelper from the HOME Menu
2. Select Toggle Rehid State
3. Press B to reboot

Removing configs

• For global configurations, delete sd:/rehid/rehid.json or, for a configuration set to a title delete sd:/rehid/<title ID>/rehid.json

Configuration

Config file

Rehid stores its key mappings in .json files located either as sd:/rehid/rehid.json for global mappings or in a title ID folder within sd:/rehid/ to use with a specific title. You can manually create your own key mappings by creating a rehid.json file with the key mappings you want. Possible options include:

"keys": Maps one or more keys to press different key(s).

Syntax:

{
    "keys":[
        {"press":"ZR","get":"R"},
        {"press":"ZL","get":"L"}
    ]
}

With the above, any time you press the ZR key, R key would be triggered, and any time you press the ZL key, L key would be triggered.

The keys you can use for this are: A, B, X, Y, SELECT, START, ZL, ZR, L, R, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, CLEFT(CPAD), CRIGHT(CPAD), CUP(CPAD), CDOWN(C-PAD), CSLEFT(C-STICK), CSRIGHT(C-STICK), CSUP(C-STICK), CSDOWN(C-STICK)

You can use this to do custom key combos, such as the following:

{
    "keys":[
        {"press":"X+Y","get":"R"},
        {"press":"SELECT","get":"L+R"}
    ]
}

With this, pressing X+Y will trigger R instead, and pressing SELECT will trigger both L and R at the same time.

"turbo": Maps one or more key(s) to toggle different key(s) to be repeatedly triggered with a given delay.

Syntax:

{
    "turbo":[
        {"press":"ZL+ZR","get":"A","framedelay":5}
    ]
}

With the above, any time you press the ZL+ZR key, A key would be repeatedly triggered, with a HID-frame delay of 5.

"cpad": Maps a key press to the given XY coordinates on the Circle Pad, between -190 and 190.

Syntax:

{
    "cpad":[
        {"press":"CUP","get":[0,190]},
        {"press":"CDOWN","get":[0,-190]},
        {"press":"CLEFT","get":[-190,0]},
        {"press":"CRIGHT","get":[190,0]}
    ]
}

"touch": Maps a key press to the given XY coordinates on the touchscreen, from 0,0 (top-left corner) to 320,240 (bottom-right corner).

Syntax:

{
    "touch":[
        {"press":"LEFT+UP","get":[0,0]},
        {"press":"RIGHT+DOWN","get":[320,240]}
    ]
}

"touchtokeys": Maps the given area on the touch screen at the given XY coordinates to output a key press when tapped.

Syntax:

{
    "touchtokeys":[
        {"press":[10,20,50,100],"get":"A"}
    ]
}

The above example creates a box starting at x=10 y=20 that has a height of 50 and a width of 100.

Other options include:

"cpadtodpad":true Automatically redirects all C-Pad inputs to the D-Pad.

"dpadtocpad":true Automatically redirects all D-Pad inputs to the C-Pad.

"overidecpadpro":true Stops games from recognizing the Circle Pad Pro.

"homebutton": Remaps the HOME button to one or more key press(es).

All of the above options can be used at once in one remapping. For example:

{
    "keys":[
        {"press":"ZR","get":"R"},
        {"press":"ZL","get":"L"}
    ],
    "cpad":[
        {"press":"CUP","get":[0,190]},
        {"press":"CDOWN","get":[0,-190]}
    ],
    "touch":[
        {"press":"LEFT+UP","get":[0,0]},
        {"press":"RIGHT+DOWN","get":[320,240]}
    ],
    "touchtokeys":[
        {"press":[10,20,50,100],"get":"A"}
    ],
    "cpadtodpad":true,
    "dpadtocpad":true,
    "overridecpadpro":true,
    "homebutton":"ZR+ZL"
}
