3DS:Input redirection

3DS:IR

Input Redirection enables you to redirect your controller input directly into your console. All controllers are supported as long as you can connect them to your computer somehow. If you have multiple controllers connected, it will combine your inputs. To use this utility, you need to have CFW with Luma3DS on the latest version installed into your console.

What You Need

The latest version of InputRedirectionClient-Qt (for your computer)
Your device's local IP address

Instructions

Connect the controller you want to use with your console to your computer
Extract InputRedirectionClient-Qt to a folder in your computer and open the InputRedirectionClient-Qt.exe
In the IP Address field, input your device's local IP address
On your device, press L + D-PAD DOWN + SELECT to open Rosalina Menu
- This is the default configuration; if you have broken buttons, you may be using an alternate configuration that changes the key combination to X+Y or Y+B
Navigate to Miscellaneous options...
Select Start InputRedirection
Press B until you exit out of Rosalina Menu
If you wish to control multiple 3DSs with one controller, open InputRedirectionClient-Qt that many times and repeat steps 3-7 for each 3DS

Troubleshooting

My controller is not detected

InputRedirection can only detect XInput, which is present in Xbox controllers. If you are not using an Xbox controller, you should use x360ce to use your controller.

If you still cannot get your controller detected, add InputRedirectionClient-Qt as a non-Steam game on Steam and enable Steam Input for the controller you are using. This should convert your controller to XInput and trick InputRedirection into detecting it, but there's no guarantee this will always work.

My inputs are not recognised

Try rebooting your device and InputRedirectionClient-Qt as well. If the issue still persists, make sure your 3DS and computer are connected to the same internet connection and that you have a stable internet connection.
