Description

Use your 3DS as a gamepad for your PC, over Wi-Fi.

You need the server too. It runs on the PC you want to play on, and it is what creates the virtual controller: https://github.com/atticpad/atticpad/releases

Windows and Linux. One file, no installer.

What the 3DS sends

  • All buttons, Circle Pad, and C-Stick on a New 3DS
  • Gyro, for motion aiming
  • The touch screen, configurable via profiles on the server.
  • Its battery level, shown on the PC.

Setting it up

  1. Run the server on your PC. It shows you an address.
  2. Open AtticPad on the 3DS and scan the QR code the server shows on screen. (or type the IP)
  3. Play.

Good to know

Everything stays on your own network. No account, no internet, no cloud.

Pairing is a QR code. By default the server accepts any device on your LAN without one, so run it on a network you trust.

Tested on a New 3DS. The Old 3DS should work but has never been tried.
