Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.
The server will run on all systems that is able to run Java applications - this means just about every system possible (Windows, OS X, Linux and other unix variants) - the only problems that could emerge would be with media key key-mappings or shutdown/restart commands.
It was voted the 10th Top DS homebrew in the 2009 best DS homebrew contest.
Features
- Client and server configuration.
- Server program must be running on the PC to be controlled.
Installation
Remote Touch DS is a client-server based solution. Therefore you will need to have a daemon/server up and running on the computer you want to remote control. The daemon/server is located inside the server folder. You can launch start_server_win.bat on Windows, or start_server_unix.sh on unix systems. You also need to have Java installed on your system.
Download and extract the latest version file.
Copy the /server/ folder from the .zip to the computer you want to control.
Launch start_windows_server.bat and the program will confirm it's running on port 7777.
Extract rtdsclient.nds from the /client/ folder of the .zip to your card.
Run the .nds.
Enter the server's IP address and port number (default 7777).
Note: Make sure you open up port 7777 if your PC has a firewall. Use ipconfig to find out the IP address of your PC.
