This is exactly what I was looking for! I want to have a way to play modern pixel art platformers (from steam and other marketplaces) in a portable device with a small screen, because I find pixel art to look a lot better that way, than on a huge computer screen.
Actually I tried this on switch first ( made a video on that too ). I recently got back into 3DS homebrew, thanks to Goodboy Galaxy. I forgot how nice it was to hold a small handheld. So got me curious and led me here. Shame the screen resolution so low 😅
@@will_termini I really tried to play elden ring on my 3ds! If it wasn't for the text thats totally unreadable it would be fine. Same as you, holding the the 3ds while playing pc games felt pretty dreamy haha. Maybe something like fallguys could work
damn this is cool. i installed it and ran tekken 8. the fact that there is no noticeable input delay is crazy i actually won a ranked much at blue rank
I’m still struggling with the freezing situation but I found it last longer without freezing if I have nothing else running in the background other than what I’m currently using
It seems the problem I’m having with the 3DS version of Moonlight is that it is not up to date. The 3DS Moonlight version we have is 2.0.0 but in order to stream from pcs running GeForce 3.0.7 or above we need Moonlight version 2.2.2 In the debug menu it seems to be spamming the message waiting for IDR frame. Attempting to open another app seems to temporarily fix it but it rly isn’t an enjoyable experience atm
Im having problems for conect the 3ds with the pc, I put the IP on my 3ds after i select start and all time on my screen of the 3ds put conecting, can I use this program on my 3ds with the pc off??
Sadly, running SteamOS natively on a 3DS isn't possible because the 3DS hardware is very different from the hardware SteamOS is designed for. The 3DS has a custom ARM processor and limited memory and graphics capabilities, while SteamOS is designed for x86 processors and more powerful hardware. This mismatch means games and the OS itself wouldn't run properly, if at all, on the 3DS. We can dream tho :)
@@will_termini Hmmmm... I'm sure if there was any ways to run any linux distro natively (which it does sadly seem to be only a terminal at the moment) we could find a way to have steam run in big picture upon booting the distro, although we would need a distro made just for the 3ds or something to be ported somehow
Sunshine is a similar but different tech, if you port forward you can play away from home... but I think you can already do that with steam link. The advantage sunshine/moonlight have over Steam link is there are more clients for more devices and its open source. If your happy with steam link keep using that.
@@will_terminismall question but how do you port forward? do i need to do anything? im going on a trip to nyc this weekend and wanna be able to play undertale while on the train.
It may work if both your computer and DS are connected to the same hotspot. It is also possible your mobile hotspot will isolate host from each other preventing them from communicating.
Can be a bit a bit tricky over text. But things I would do to troubleshoot. 1. Are you 100% sunshine is running? Can you access the web server locally from your Linux machine 2. Do you have any kind of firewall like UWF 3. Are your 3DS and Linux machine on the same lan? 4. Your using your lan IP via ifconfig not your wan IP right?
I was really excited for this when I remembered... my 3DS can't connect to my local WiFi router for no reason. No other Nintendo device except my Switch actually connect to my WiFi router.
Oh that's odd, does your router not support 2.4ghz aka wifi G or N or as it's now known Wifi 3 and 4. I know the DS uses WEP only which is a nother story, but I've never had an issue with the 3DS.
@@will_termini it does support most WiFi standards, and is a WiFi 5 router, which does both 2.4GHz connections and 5GHz connections. But if I do need to go online on my 3DS, I still can use my phone's hotspot feature.
@@will_termini I actually use my phone, as it can bypass my personal WiFi signal as its own, without using my data. Sorry for the long wait, I don't use YT often.
@@andaro.77if you are still working on this, sometimes the settings for 802.11g on your router is called “setting mode up to 54mbps”. Let me know how you go
nice app. one problem. its internet streaming. stuttering, frame drops, input lag, resolution drops. no thanks, ill just stick with my 3ds and steam deck seperatley.
It's not internet streaming it's local network-based. Yes stuttering and frame drops and input lag can be an issue. As for resolution drops... I don't think you're going to see that since the DS is already so low
The developer says it will work on all all 3DS models. However the performance on the original 3DS is reportedly very bad as it's much slower. They recommend only running this on the new 3DS and new 3DS XL.

Did this to my 3ds some time ago but it was kind of gimicky. On my switch tho it's excelent, feels like having a steam deck

Mess around with the bitrate a bit if you’re stream is freezing
Also change your HDMI to HDMI 2/DVI if you have a tv connected to your host device
I’m still struggling with the freezing situation but I found it last longer without freezing if I have nothing else running in the background other than what I’m currently using
Just skip to 2:55 the beginning is not the tutorial just random opinions
This is insane, I just played Call Of Duty, Portal 2 and Fall Guys on my 3DS...
thank you so much this is so good if you dont want to ´take your sd card out of your 3ds
Also suggest you install FTPD on your 3DS that way you never have to take out your SD card except on a rare occasion

What if you need to map controls?
I was able to get Moonlight running, but the game doesn’t show up on the screen and it’s just pitch black.
People have already modded Linux on 3DS, someone should port SteamOS over just for fun and have it run games natively
Sadly, running SteamOS natively on a 3DS isn't possible because the 3DS hardware is very different from the hardware SteamOS is designed for. The 3DS has a custom ARM processor and limited memory and graphics capabilities, while SteamOS is designed for x86 processors and more powerful hardware.

@@CrazyGamerDude17 do you think its possible to run sunshine or smth like sunshine on an android so i could stream emulated games on my 3ds?
How do you get the right analogue stick to work? The nub does nothing for me.
Classic zoey
Does this work like steam link or can I play the games even away from my computer, like, at trips or something

Where do o install sunshine server bc when i open the link in the description it takes me to these codes so where do i install?
go to the releases page :) github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases
Thank you:)
@@will_terminiwhich one do you download there’s like 21 different things there
Does it work on the new 3ds XL?
Yes it will work on any of the new 3DS models perfectly fine, Just keep in mind the screen resolutions a bit low on all models
The Steam Deck is shitting and pissing itself right now
@@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275 yah nah 😹
Is it not able to do this?
Does this work with if i use mobile hotspot internet?

i have a problem,i have my ip but it didnt load how can i do?
Nah bro this is crazy, im playing rdr2 in my 2ds xl
Very smooth the streaming

great video I'm wondering I installed sunshine on Linux entered my IP on my 3ds but it doesn't connect could u help?

Dose this work with Emudeck?
Do you need a pc to stream it from or can you just use it without anything
Yes you'll need to have sunshine server installed and a decent gaming computer.
