really impressed with this. its good for those with a media pc connected to the tv.

I know this is an alpha release and you might implement this later on, but left and right buttons arnt really in the best position. i would go with the win2ds formula


With left up and right or y-x-a for lefties like me

Keep it up really good and simple to set up!.

Step by step for others

1.Open up Run form the start menu and type CMD then run that

2. Check your IP with ipconfig in command prompt.

3. Then still in command prompt, got to wherever you have the server folder EX: c:\server\

4.then write rtdsserver_multi-win.exe 235( or whichever port you want) hit enter. it should run. On windows 7 it asked me for permission with the firewall.

5. Put the client folder on your flashcart. and run it.

6. enter IP adress of your comp and the port chosen earlier and ENJOY.

Thanks for the heads up

I will consider this, and map the right mouseclick and left mouseclick to up and down and for left handed people move do a X for left mouseclick and B for right mouseclick.

Expect a much better release next time, with many improved things.

Just a note; updated the .zip files readme with some extra info and with your step by step instructions - with your credit of course

Should be better for newbies now.

Very interesting project. I've been using DS2key for my media computer but he hasn't updated his new release since January so I look forward to seeing this getting more features than it. Should you encounter any problems on your project I'd recommend hunting down the bloke that made it - he's a pretty good bloke and would certainly help ya.

As to the mapping I've found best is to have Left click on left, right click on right d-pad and middle click on up - it's just spaced right that way.

This would be a lot better if it also functioned as game controller. But even if it doesn't, it's still awesome.

Wow, that would actually be very cool...

My question: Would it work as a tablet?
Yes, it works like a table pc... almost - the L and R keys functions as left and right mouse. The touchscreen acts as cursor control, but I haven't implemented touch mouseclicks, it does not feel that great with the small DS touch screen, so the L and R buttons are there for that.
Right now the touchscreen on the DS is in 1to1 aspect to your computer screen -- this mean you are able to cover you whole screen in one swipe on the touchscreen. I will also implement the behaviour of a normal touchpad where the touch control is accelerated.
nice..
except that after reading your dummy guide i still don't understand. x_x

Bump.

Update.

I am looking at a release tomorrow. The new version will include some nice titbits like;
- Media Control Extended (MEX) - good for Media Center or similar
- Keyboard fully calibrated and working with key press sound for comfort
- Remote restart or shutdown of your computer - good for those late night movie sessions where you just want to shutdown your computer directly from the comfort of your bed

Preview slides in the first post updated to current look and feel.
