How to put 3DS photos into SmileBASIC???

Root / Programming Questions / [.]

JINC_DEVCreated:
Is there a way to put photos that are on my 3DS into SmileBASIC without homebrew.

You could use PetitModem, don't ask me how it works though, as I have never used it.

I've already tried Petitmodem but I couldn't get it to work.

You were probably using it wrong. Like Shelly said, You need an audio cable in order to transfer a photo.

When I tried it, I was sending a photo with ARQ at 600 baud. It was actually really close to completely sending the file, but it didn't work.

SpoilerThere's already a petit modem thread, (https://smilebasicsource.com/forum?ftid=7&page=4) check there for (hopefully) some answers.

I had to figure out photo transfer for my Continuance game. I saved the image as a PPM (GIMP supports this format) then transferred it over audio cables with PetitModem. On the other end I wrote software to decode it and draw it to the screen (I picked PPM because it's an incredibly simple format). After that I saved the image using GSAVE so I could later load it very fast using GLOAD. In my experience PetitModem doesn't work at all through an actual microphone and speakers. You absolutely need audio cables, especially for an image as it will take quite a long time to transfer an image. Audio cables will also let you transfer audio to your game as well (that voice sample in my Ringman game was transferred over audio cables), so I'd highly recommend them.

Can some one give a picture of there petit modem setup.

I bought this splitter recommended by PetitProfessor3D and two of these Amazon Basics auxiliary cables. Seemed to work for me. Although strangely the 3DS will only sometimes recognize sound through the microphone port so I'd constantly have to unplug it and restart the software until it finally recognized it but when it did it transferred without a hitch (albeit very slowly).

What if you just one headphone port on your laptop(a headphone and microphone port in one port) ???

You might have some luck using a single TRRS cable between the 3DS and computer, since they both have TRRS jacks. I tried that and didn't have much luck though for some reason.

Do you send with simplex or with ARQ???

I finally got petit modem to work!!!!

Congrats, I never could get it to work myself.

That won't work since the mic and speaker signals need to be swapped. Otherwise the 3DS speaker output connects with the laptop speaker output, rather than the mic input like it should.

Actually it did work.

Send it with simplex in a quiet environment.
