Hi, I'm having a problem with something.. I'm setting the "tap" input to different keys to test it, but it's not doing anything at all. The touchpad itself works though, and I can move the mouse around with it. I just really want to set left click to tapping the screen, but nothing will work. Help would be appreciated c:

I've seen Joy2Key recommended for keybinding, but I believe it may have been recommended for the other 3DS Controller app. (I think there are two, at least.) If you use that, I know for a fact you can map mouse movement to the ever-unmoving C-Stick (or any other joystick input), and you should be able to map clicks to buttons.

That said, I can't remember if it had anything for the touchscreen. I haven't set up the apps yet on my PC. Maybe I should.
Anyone else watching this thread have an answer?

I don't have a c-stick because I'm using an old 3DS, but that's not really the issue.. The options for the touchscreen itself are to move the mouse with the drag function, or there's another control called "tap" that activates when you tap the touch screen. That's what's not working for me.

Is there any way to bind a button on the 3ds to scroll wheel up/down? I have been searching for a while now for it and I can't find it anywhere if it is even possible... I would like to set L and R to scroll up and down

Sorry to bump, but has anyone found the cause of why the server software is not sending C-Stick, ZL or ZR inputs to vJoy? I'm trying to use my broken old N3DS as a wireless gamepad and I can't play my game without a right analog stick.

You might want to try a forked version on Github, I'm sure there's a modified version of this that works with the added inputs

Well decided to test this software out a bit and see hat I could do with it. For the most part the controls seem pretty responsive, however I can't get the mouse to tap the screen via the 3DS itself. I also noticed the mouse cursor tends to be choppy and screwy a bit when using the 3DS bottom screen.

I've tried to set this up again after going through two fresh Windows installations, and I'm not sure how to get it to actually input into games again. Also, the c-stick.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.

    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
