We've been busy! Our 2024 recap so far | Video Game History Foundationgamehistory.org It's been an eventful first half of 2024. Learn what we've been up to this year.
Running a 3DS Capture Card in VRwww.youtube.com Detailed steps below, in case you really want to know how to do this. Just a warning: this setup isn't cheap lol To pull off this setup you will need: - A New 3DS XL modded with Loopy's latest 3DS capture card model. As of this video, you can send a system in to be modded starting from 198 USD, not including shipping prices, but Loopy's capture cards are generally high quality and have solid support! If you're using a Katsukity capture card, you may still be able to pull this off using its equivalent software, but that's something you'll have to research yourself. https://3dscapture.com/ - A Windows PC, since that's what the official software for Loopy capture cards only work on. There is unofficial software for Mac and Linux but they may not have the experimental 3D support as detailed below: - The beta version of Loopy's 3DS capture software that enables 3D support. You should be able to find the latest version of it in this support thread, but I'll also link the latest version as of this video: https://3dscapture.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7281 https://3dscapture.com/tmp/3ds_capture_20240612.zip - A VR headset that can run Virtual Desktop, a screen mirroring/streaming app! Most PCVR headsets out there should be able to do so, bonus if it's a headset that can do decent mixed reality passthrough, like the Quest 3 used in this video! Do note that this is a paid app at around 20 USD, but for what you can do with it it's well worth the price, and in my use cases works near flawlessly with minimal latency even on a wireless connection. https://www.vrdesktop.net/ So the steps for setting this up would be: 1) Connect to your PC from your headset using the Virtual Desktop client 2) If you only have one physical monitor and want the bottom screen to be shown as well, add a virtual monitor 3) Connect the 3DS capture card to the PC, launch the beta version of the capture software (update the capture card firmware if prompted) 4) Right click anywhere in the capture window, change 'Display Type' to '3D (SBS)' and choose 'Split Window' to create separate top screen/bottom screen windows, you can also choose between bilinear or point scaling 5) Make the top screen fullscreen on your main monitor and the bottom screen on your secondary/virtual monitor 6) Press the Menu button in Virtual Desktop and select the Half SBS display option for the main monitor 7) Rearrange the bottom screen/secondary monitor using Reset View and the arrangement options shown at the top of the screen 8) Optional: Enable 'transparency' in the arrangement options for the bottom screen so black shows as transparent, gives a really cool effect in some games. I also disable 'Hands interact with desktop' in VD settings to prevent accidental messing with the desktop If you fully understand the above then congratulations you now have an absolutely insane way to play 3DS games. And before you ask yes you could theoretically do the same thing with Citra running on a PC but then you don't get all the actual 3DS controls with it now do you (you can probably use the 3DS as a PC controller via homebrew but uhhh figure that out yourself lol) Main channel at @Akfamilyhome Other places to find me: ➤ https://twitter.com/Akfamilyhome ➤ https://bsky.app/profile/akfamilyhome.com ➤ https://tumblr.com/Akfamilyhome AK's Whatever Goes: ➤ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVA-t0elasOxxR-ES9t-iPMdqCz4bhD0U #Nintendo3DS
