Capturing key input on NDS and sending it to PC

Dependencies

• linux
• DevkitPro, easiest way to download it is through pacman: https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started

Usage

• create hotspot on your laptop
• run .nds file on your NDS
• connect to your hotspot on your NDS via the .nds file
• run the python script: desktop_client.py

How it works

• NDS opens port 8080, python script connects PC to it, then:
• NDS receives ACK character from PC
• NDS scans pressed keys
• NDS sends pressed keys
• python simulates keyboard/mouse with pyautogui

How to make WIFI hotspot that NDS can connect (it's not that obvious):

• in Ubuntu open "Network Connections" and click "add new"
• go to the "Wi-Fi security" - NDS supports only WEP security (so remember, it's dangerous to beacon that poorly secured network all the time, use this hotspot only when playing with your NDS) - select "WEP 40/128 bit key (Hex or ASCII)"
• select some random 5 character (only digits) password
• in "Wi-Fi" tab select "Mode" to "Hotspot"
• save it
• open "Network"
• click "Connect to to a hidden network"
• select network that you've just created (by default its name will be "hotspot")
• you're done, if you were previously connected with another network via wifi you'll be disconnected
• now you can connect to this network through your NDS
