AMAZING NEW WAY TO STREAM YOUR NINTENDO 3DS! Artic Base For 3DS!

[@KaijuClub]

Hey there, Gamecamiller here and I just wanted to chime in for a bit here as I think there is a small segment of the audience who has seen this video that I just feel is missing a bit of the point of this project, to the point that a few people are even being a bit confrontational about it. This whole thing is a work in progress, a relatively new way to play your games from your 3DS system on a bigger screen. It's another option to play your games, just like having a capture card, snickerstream/NTR or yes, even dumping the games and playing it through emulation is. That said yeah, it's early and there's a few things to work on for sure, which I've talked about in this video, but there's a lot of potential to this project and at the end of the day it's a good thing to have options for all 3DS owners who want to play their games. One thing that I've found this year is that the homebrew/modding community is very active in trying to preserve these games and ways to enjoy them, and I feel it's really cool to have something like this, on option which was not possible even last year. That all said, there's nothing wrong about maybe not preferring this method at the moment, but I wouldn't be completely dismissive of others who wish to prefer this method. We are all here because we (hopefully) love the 3DS and we all want to enjoy these games and our systems for many years to come. Be kind, gamers.

[@woobeewoop]

btw, in the new citra build there is an option to use the 3DS as a controller, go to Emulation > Configure > Controls > and then select "Use Artic Controller when connected to Artic Base Server." You still cant see the game on your 3DS screen, but I'm sure this will make the setup more worthwhile.

[@joelkamvik3143]

For the that option is greyed out. Know a fix for this? Using an old 3DS module

[@SonicFan-fl3tu]

Thank you so much, I was concerned I wasn’t going to be able to use my 3DS as a controller.

[@Gekkodox]

Will I be able to use the Touchscreen? I need the Touchscreen for WarioWare and Tomodachi Life. If not, this will be not better than Snickerstream for me sadly.

[@woobeewoop]

I saw on reddit that it is in the works, not sure if it's out yet tho.

[@JustPersephone-o5w]

Thanks for this video. I thought O3ds won't be able to stream or would just stream powerpoint presentation, but holy crap it works! I just managed to stream Monster Hunter XX and recorded it through OBS. There were kind of random stutters that I am just okay with it. Good thing you can directly control it with your 3ds using Artic Controller.

[@Ohyeahitsnotme]

W theme in the thumbnail I love black and gold stars

[@Chrisezo]

Um, I've said this before in other videos, but the concept of Artic Base for me just doesn't make much sense, because of many reasons: 1) You require a New 3DS 2) You are slowed down on loading screens and such because of the 3DS, and there can be other compatibility issues 3) You cannot use the 3DS while you are streaming, which if the game you are wanting to play is heavily based on touch controls, you will have a poor experience with a mouse unless your Windows device has a touchscreen 4) You are currently limited to only using Artic Base on a Windows emulator Because of all of this and more, I would say that it would be better to just 100% emulate the games you want to play on the actual emulator, rather than needing to use a 3DS in between, since you will get a way faster performance and possibly less issues, and the only way that I see Artic Base working for someone, is if they are lazy and don't want to bother with transferring saves between emulator and 3DS handheld, because Artic Base does use the save on the 3DS system so you don't have to bother with that anymore.

[@KaijuClub]

It works with any 3DS Model, not just the New 3DS Models

[@zerik_media]

And the touch screen problem will remain even with just using an emulator

[@yosh688]

@@KaijuClub wait none of the new 3ds models work?

[@ryanbrancel]

​​​@@yosh688he said above it works with any 3DS. Also think of the Switch example, you don't use touch controls on that when it is docked? And using the same save files is a huge benefit. Further you can attach a portable touchscreen monitor to your PC if you want, or use an Android tablet as a second screen, and have that dedicated to the second 3DS screen. Maybe try it out yourself to see well it works. Loading delays are minimal, nothing to complain about. Also the PC is doing all of the heavy lifting with upscaling and enhancements, so it's not asking the 3DS to do anything other than send data over the network

[@wesnohathas1993]

Yeah, I was hoping for some kind of breakthrough here, but what I'm seeing is just emulation with extra steps.

[@kingdanett4043]

Now all we need is for someone to get wii u tablets to work on the PC, then we have the ultimate 3ds experience

[@TheElectricRaichu]

This doesn't seem that fantastical to me. I thought you'd be able to play on the actual 3DS and have it broadcasted to Citra/the PC like a capture card. It just looks like a way to skip getting/dumping a rom.

[@rondoudoushiney3868]

yeah this title and video is hella misleading

[@animeist72]

I heard with the newest update that is now possible

[@CodeKirby]

It was never about dumping roms, it just makes it easier to capture gamplay from the 3DS. Plus also lets you play at higher resolutions.

[@Grchman]

i hope they update this so we can play DS games.. i have a ton of DS games id love to cover

[@G3n0t]

Thx man! It worked perfectly fine!

[@VideoWulff]

Hey Mate! Great and informative video. I just would like a quick clarification - You said this cannot be used on DS games on the 3DS? So I cannot stream something like Hotel Dusk using this method?

[@KaijuClub]

Correct, it cannot be used to steam DS games like Hotel Dusk. Only Native 3DS games and Apps...hopefully that can change in the future!

[@VideoWulff]

@KaijuClub appreciate the info! Saved me some time

[@coach7matt]

Tested Majoras Mask as an installed CIA, works well and playable but it stutters. Look forward to seeing how well this improves

[@cringelord216]

This is kinda cool but if you already have a hacked 3DS you can easily dump the files from your 3DS to your computer along with save files. If I could use my 3DS as a controller and touchscreen it would be pretty useful

[@brianh7302]

The point is mainly for people who want to go back and forth between tv and handheld. Kind of like it’s a switch. That’d be kind of tedious to do that every single time you want to go back and forth.

[@ryanbrancel]

An option was added to use the 3DS as a controller, though I'd much rather use an Xbox controller vs the cramped 3DS controls. Also agree with other reply here, it's a pain to have to keep transferring save files back and forth. Much easier to run it all from one device

[@albal156]

If you have a New 3DSXL the SD card is very innaccessible though. Im trying to work out how FTPD works so I never have to take off the back again. Even with Artic Base being as it is I think I honestly prefer not having to dump anything.

[@ryanbrancel]

@@albal156 I use FileZilla on PC once you get FTPD running it will provide the IP

@@KaijuClub Thanks!

[@UndeadEggmiester]

You asked me if i got the shadowrun games to tell you what i think. After putting a few hours into the first one i definitely have thoughts on it. One i definitely understand the mixed reviews on it. Even though its a tactical rpg they call it a crpg. Because it feels more like a table top game with some tactical battles. Personally i am enjoying them but i definitely understand if people are more of expecting something like fft or banner of the maid they'd be disappointed. But i haven't seen any bugs or glitches.

[@KaijuClub]

Thank you for letting me know. Glad to hear that there hasn't been any bugs or glitches. A lot of the reviews and reports that I read about it stated there were some, so they might have patched it out

[@madmark2556]

I've just started using Arctic Base, and as of this comment the current app version is 1.2, and I was able to get Super Smash Bros. for 3DS to run! Well, at least the menus. I didn't actually try any of the game modes. Also of note, when I started up Smash Bros, it asked me if I wanted to opt in to Street Pass. Why, I'm not sure, maybe it was a result of something else. Anywho, this app is awesome. And here I was thinking I'd have to save up and shell out over 200 bucks of my hard earned chump change just to have a capture card installed on my 2DS XL. Silly Mark.

[@KrystalKingYT]

Confirming this still works to date!

[@xo2ulips]

this is awesome. do you have any experience using it with more touch-oriented games? i assume it wouldn't be great having to use a mouse for touch controls

[@KaijuClub]

I've used the mouse for games that require simple touch controls and honestly it's pretty good (like Tomodachi life and Animal Crossing New Leaf). I would gather that there would be some games (that require heavy use of a touchscreen) that would just be a better fit on an actual 3DS, like maybe Kid Icarus or so.

[@Callum-tm6xo]

Does artic base actually use 3DS hardware to run or is it being run through the emulator using your pcs power?

[@maxrichards5925]

It's streaming the game from your 3DS into a emulator so your PC needs to be able to handle a 3DS emulator

[@friesat2am]

thanks so much! this is great! i was debating on getting a capture card for my 3ds but this is even better

[@KaijuClub]

Glad I could help! Capture cards are great no doubt, but it is hard to argue against the price of free for what this does

[@s.g.2studios209]

I want know something before I try this method in 7:04 the screen flashes blue is it gonna do that for every time I want to launch a game or only when I use Artic Base? I'm asking cuz I ran into a problem with another homebrew software that has the same effect

[@KaijuClub]

It will only flash blue when you got Artic base running, and then start up a game. When not using Artic base, the screen will not flash blue.

[@vgbcp3rs0na41]

How do I use motion controls on a different controller for Luigi balancing on beams in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon?

[@KaijuClub]

You can use Motion/Gyro controls by config it under Emulation -> Configure -> Controls -> Motion/Touch. From there you can set it to use your Motion, or if you have a controller that has gyro built in like the Switch pro Controller, Joycons, PS4/PS5 Dualshock Controller. There's also some options there if you want to use a touch pad.

[@KaijuClub]

@@MurdockMaddness yep, the DS games wont work via this method. Alpha sapphire should work fine, I actually did some testing with that game via this method the other day it seemed to be good.

[@VxMarsxV]

the option to run artic doesnt appear for me on citra, any advice or something i missed in the video?

[@GuvnaFuzz]

The only thing that sucks with this method is playing games that heavily use the touch screen like Kid Icarus

[@KaijuClub]

I know for games like Tomodachi life that require a lot of use of the touch screen, I was able to use the mouse for bottom screen in the Citra app. Still though, Kid Icarus has a bit of a weird controller setup for 3DS so it may still be a bit of a pain. It's one of the games that I want to test out when I get a chance later.

[@vgbcp3rs0na41]

what's the setup for those 3 3DS screens? Is that Hybrid or separate windows?

[@KaijuClub]

Yep, that's the Hybrid screen option. Focuses on the top screen for the big window, and the two small screens are in standard 3DS view. There's a bunch of different options though if you don't want to use that view.

[@Deaimon]

This is really cool and all, but Im gonna be realistic. There is no point in using Artic Base and making the 3ds as a 'dock' for citric, when citric itself can run the games and at much smoother rates. Even if you just want to play on your '3ds saves' there is still no value in using Artic Base when you can use a game file saver tool to extract that save and open it in citra. Additionally, you can realistically only play normal 3ds games on Artic Base, whilst in Citra you can almost play any Nintendo game. I thought you could use the 3ds device as an actual controller, but this just seems useless. Cool project tho!

[@gentepessoa2156]

Do you believe that Multiplayer can be implemented in the future? Even if it's Local? It would be incredible!

[@KaijuClub]

it's very possible, though I'm betting users would have to be connected via the emulator app (PabloMK7's Fork or Citra, Lime 3DS etc.)

[@gentepessoa2156]

@@KaijuClub Ah... I thought 3ds could use its architecture in this, so 3ds would be useful for something more than just sharing the save with the emulator.

[@KaijuClub]

@@gentepessoa2156 I mean it's just a theory, I'm not the one developing it, so anything is possible with eventual updates. At the moment the Wifi from the 3Ds is sending all the game data and save and such to the app, so that's why I figured the Multiplayer aspect would be handled via the emulator. There's only so much bandwidth that the Wifi from a 3DS could theoretically output and handle so to stream all the data and do online proper it'll will (most likely) need another way around it. But who knows, this app is super new, and is very much in active developmen,t so who knows what we will see in future updates. This is only the start.

[@lucasnatanael1388]

Do you need a powerful PC to run this method?

[@KaijuClub]

If you got a computer within the last 5 years or so, then you should be good to go at default settings. You will need a computer with a decent CPU and preferably a Nvidia graphics card. If you have a very low end computer or so, then you might not be able to run it. At least from what I have found. That said, if you ramp up the settings in the graphics menu then you might need a computer with a little more power, but if you're intended to play the games at the default settings, like I have in the video, then you shouldn't need a powerful computer at all. Below is the basic requirements for Citra for anyone who is curious: Citra requirements: Operating system: Windows 10 (64-bit) or higher macOS Big Sur or higher Modern 64-bit desktop Linux CPU: x86-64 CPU Single Core Performance > 1,800 on Passmark Graphics hardware: OpenGL 4.3 Vulkan 1.1
