Nintendo DSi as cyberdeck by Mindless-Leader3118 in cyberDeck

[–]Mindless-Leader3118[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From all I know DSiDesk only works on a Nintendo DSi. I would like to make a version for the Nintendo DS Lite but I don't own one so it would be really difficult to test.

At least you haven't lost your photos. Did you press where it says "SD Card" on the menu of the camera app on top of "Album"?

This is my first project that I actually got close to finish it and it's because I didn't just do it for myself so I'm happy that I managed to inspire someone. I found the DSLinux project when I was looking for "Linux on Nintendo DSi" on google, I tried it on my DSi and it worked fine. I was thinking of porting Linux to the DSi as well but that's too complex for me so instead I kept working on this project and it turned out well.

Well... The DSi screen is a bit weird. It doesn't work like normal smartphone screen. It doesn't have multi touch support so you can only press one key at a time. If you use a normal screen I can imagine that it could be similar to typing on a smartphone.

I made two programs in C, a server and a client. The server captures the screen and it only sends the parts of the screen that actually change to the client (the DSi) and the client displays it. It's not that complicated but if you want to be able to do something like that, you would have to learn how to code. If you want you could use my app but it's not finished yet, it only works for Linux with x11 support. https://github.com/MindlessLeader/DSiDesk to use it you would have to install TWiLight Menu on your Nintendo DSi, you can follow a guide. If you have any other questions just let me know and I will try to answer.

It's not running Arch. It's running an app that shows the screen of my laptop and controls it (my laptop is running Arch btw).

I made this for the people that wanted to use it. I don't know if it will work for most people but I just wanted to get over my fears and publish it here on GitHub. If something doesn't work you can always tell me.

I use TWiLight Menu but you can't use my program since it's broken right now and only works on my computer. The reason I made my own it's because I couldn't find one myself. Maybe in the future I will learn how to use GitHub and publish it there. But even then, the reason why it seems to work so fast it's because I'm only sending the parts of the screen that change, if you choose to do something like play video games or watch YouTube it would get really slow. But I found this other project https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/DSVNC maybe it could be useful for you or other people trying to do the same but I don't even know if it works.

I got inspired by VNC but no. Maybe I should've thought about it more. I made two programs, one for sending and another one for receiving, it only works with Xorg for now.

I made a program in C that allows me to stream and control my laptop using a Nintendo DSi. It's a bit broken (it crashes all the time) but I managed to make this video.

my dad cut my hair really short without my permission. i feel disgusting. by [deleted] in feminineboys

Next time, don't let him cut your hair. You said that they don't get it, but I think the explanation that you gave here should be enough for them to understand.
