Button mapping based on InputRedirection

Limitations

• I don't hook the IR service yet, so no zl/zr or c-stick. However, it is why I started this, so I'll be looking into it.
• Home and Power cannot be mapped the same way. They are processed by the MCU.

How to Use

Install the ButtonSwapNTR cia on your 3ds.

Not really configurable right now, but can be changed if you know ASM.

You will need a working setup of the devkitARM toolchain for 3DS, follow this guide for help.

You will also need the ScenicRoute library by Stary2001. Clone it, then run make install in the ScenicRoute directory. Finally, clone this repository.

The instructions for each type of mapping are provided in source/injected.s. I've provided a Java program to generate the correct button masks and coordinate values. When you have saved your mappings into this file, you will need to compile it. To build, change to the ButtonSwap3DS directory in a terminal, then run make.

Each data field, and how to get it

Button Masks

This is the data that defines which buttons will activate the remapping and which buttons will be pressed. Either use the provided program, or manually calculate the mask using this table. For example, this code would swap A and B:

ldr r4, =0x1
ldr r5, =0x2
bl .button
ldr r4, =0x2
ldr r5, =0x1
bl .button

The next two data fields are six digit numbers. The first 3 digits are the Y coordinate data, and the last 3 digits are the X coordinate data.

Touchscreen Data

The data that will be sent as the touchscreen. Use the provided tool to generate this data.

C-pad Data

Data that will be sent as the c-pad. This data is a bit harder to calculate. The default value for the C-pad is 0x800800. To calculate this value, you will need to use the developer mode on your calculator. Xor 0x800800 by the value you want the C-pad to have. For example, if you want to have the C-pad pushed to the right, you would xor 0x800800 by 0x800FFF, giving you 0x7FF. Pad this with 3 zeroes in front (0x0007FF), and you have your data!
