3DS App

[Radnos]

Would a 3DS app be possible?

I guess, unfortunately, a standalone app would be impossible since the 3DS doesn't support 5GHz Wi-Fi, but is 5GHz Wi-Fi required for the option that involves a server?

I think it could be a great Homebrew app to have, since the 3DS has almost all the hardware needed to replicate a Wii U GamePad (excluding the right joystick and the two triggers on the original model). It has NFC, a camera, accelerometers, gyroscopes, a microphone... the only thing missing is a magnetometer, and it has an infrared receiver instead of an emitter.

The top screen could... Um no, I'm better off with a little mock up of what I have in mind.
Here it is :

I don't know if the server would work well over 2.4GHz but outside of that it does seem theoretically possible, though I doubt anyone will try making a port. I also think the difference in resolution might cause issues.

Moonlight 3DS port demonstrates it's possible. In fact, I'd suggest the OP to run Sunshine on the computer running Vanilla, then connect through Moonlight on a 3DS, since that should yield the same result.

While it would be impractical and require displaying Vanilla on the computer too, the alternative would be to somehow integrate Vanilla server with Sunshine...

Yeah, I think it's certainly possible, whether the UX will be good enough to justify the effort though is another question. It's probably not something I will pursue, but if someone wants to try, they're welcome to.
