Homebrew [WIP] ButtonSwap3DS - Remap buttons on your 3DS

[Damon_girl]

Has anybody made a code that swaps the Y button with A? Want it for Samus Returns. I don't like hitting Y to shoot.

Has anyone made a code that swaps the four face buttons (A,B,X,Y) to the C-Stick nub for N3DS?
I want to use this for Metroid Prime Hunters.

Wait the latest version now has C-nub compatibility? I didn't notice that on the front post.

Oh i'm not sure if it does, I'm just asking.
I haven't been following this closely to know.

 

[BossRoss93]

I'm getting
[EXHEADER ERROR] Invalid FileSystemAccess Name: "SeedDB"
when trying to build this.

I saw that @BossRoss93 had the same problem and said it was caused by an old version of makerom.
I got the latest makerom version from https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR/releases, and I'm still having the problem.

Edit:
I just removed the entry from the rsf file and it worked.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Glad you got it working

As of right now, the CStick, ZL, and ZR buttons are not suppored

Attached is a build that swaps A and Y, Let me know if something goes wrong.

Awesome, thanks!

 

[Termer]

Thanks! This looks awesome. My n3DSXL's R button doesn't work, so this will allow me to use it again! I used to use InputRedirection to use it, but that kinda kills portability.

Any chance for control stick to dpad/dpad to control stick with a combo to nullify it for temp? Would be useful for Metroid: Samus Returns.

I too could use this.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it!

I use that one but you have abilities mapped to the dpad and the cstick doesn't seem to want to activate them

You mean something where pressing the dpad does nothing but if you press a button, like Dpad Left = None, L+Dpad Left = Dpad Left?
if so i can build something for you but i would have to manually do it since my program does not have enough slots to do i all in one go.

Yeah basically something like that.

 

[danger229]

Yeah basically something like that.

try this, first time dealing with stuff that is binding an input to nothing as well as dealing with more than 6 rebinds, i should probably make my program support more than 6, UI will suffer, but who likes a good looking UI, i sure as hell don't. If there's a problem let me know or msg me on discord

 

[danger229]

Just as an update, as of right now I am able to make rebinds that rebind buttons to the Circle Pad (referred to as CPad) but as of this moment i am not able to make it go the other way around. ButtonSwap3dsMaker will be getting an update in maybe a few days that includes this and an increase to the limit of rebinds that can be done at one time.

EDIT: If anyone can figure out a way to make CPad press buttons let me know, it could be something that needs edited in the source code, unfortunately i dont know assembly or C/C++ so i cant really see if its something that can be coded in the injected.s or main.c files

 

[panoschuvardas]

Hey man I love the patch you made for me! Turns out tho it doesnt work with vc games.
So i guess sorry for bothering you

@danger229 can you do
Circle pad to dpad
+
Dpad to circle pad
+
L+circle pad = L+circle pad
?

Basically I want to move Samus with the dpad, using the stick to select the abilities. But I want to aim (and ingame you have to keep L pressed to aim) with the control stick. Is it possible?

Thanks

i think you mean L+Dpad = L+CPad, i can see about doing such a thing when i get my program to do CPad stuff correctly, as of right now i cant get the CPad to be bound to other things

No, I meant circle pad. Basically I'd like the circle pad not to be mapped to the dpad (and therefore vice-versa) while pressing L

Anyway thanks for your answer

ok, either way i still need to get the CPad to press buttons so until then i wont be able to make a version for this. It does not seem to be supported by the OPs source code and i dont know assembly to manually add such a thing

 

[danger229]

so just a few things to update on: Any versions that are being requested for the moment are using a test version of my program which i can have a .cia with up to 12 rebinds (swaps take two bind slots) at once. I encourage people to request versions of this with this in mind, it should work since its just adding a few slots. As of right now i can not automatically build versions that outputs CPad, I will see if anyone in the Nintendo Homebrew discord can help me out in making some means to making a bit for allowing for CPad to be used as an input for a rebind tomorrow. looks like there needs to be a new function of sorts in the injected.s file for that though and i don't know how i should alter the file to that
