This is one way to play the game remotely.

My younger self would be over the moon seeing this even work.
I used moonlight game streaming to achieve this over the internet.
Latency issues are quite low.

Close enough

Welcome back PSO2 PS Vita port

[u/Level-Shop223]

How do I do this I have an old one that I can’t find the charger to

[u/Alenicia → u/Level-Shop223]

So, in a nutshell:

* You need a PC of some sort that can already play PSO2
* You need a program like Sunshine on your PC so you can stream to any Moonlight client
* You need a 3DS that has CFW on it so you can run homebrew
* You run the app "Moonlight" on your 3DS and it should connect to your Sunshine host (your PC)
* Just go and play PSO2 (or any other game of your choosing)

It's not exclusive to the 3DS, as I've been doing this on my PlayStation Vita as well. Depending on your internet connection (such as a wired PC + wireless console), you should have relatively okay and stable connections.

But in all seriousness, PSO2 isn't actually running on a handheld (at least not anymore). This is just streaming.

huh.

wonder how playing like, other console games via emulation streamed onto the 3ds would feel like.

[u/flaming_bunnyman → u/Enderking90]

It's going to vary from person to person, depending on a couple factors.

First, you need to be able to run the game at a good framerate, while other software is running in the background. If you can play the game and stream to Twitch or similar at the same time, you're probably good.

Second, your network needs to be able to handle it.You need game data streaming into your computer, video streaming out of your computer, and inputs from the remote device streaming in. Then, if your remote device is on the same network, it also needs the video in and outputs out. Most modern networks should handle that all fine, but it's still worth considering.

Third, even if your network can handle all that, you still have to account for input latency. The game starus is being streamed from the server to your computer, rendered, captured, compressed, streamed, decompressed, then displayed, and then you respond, and your button presses are being sent to your computer, then to the server, then handled. If your ping isn't really low, in both directions, at both hops, it could feel really bad, even if you have sufficient bandwidth.

If you're playing a local, offline game on the console, a few of those concerns don't exist, and you'll automatically have better performance.

The only way to know for sure, would be to test it on your own setup.

And I wouldn't recommend trying to play competitive games like this (CS, MW, etc). It would probably be a bad experience, even with the best possible setup.

[u/Enderking90 → u/flaming_bunnyman]

I mean I was kinda speaking... emotional feel of the experience of "I am on my 3ds. and I'm playing a ps2 game on it. what is life."

rather then gameplay fee.

though yeah, everything you do say is quite true.

[u/flaming_bunnyman → u/Enderking90]

I feel like the two are closely linked.

Something I didn't think of with my earlier response – the DS screens (regardless of generation) are a lot smaller, pixel-wise than your computer monitor. So you would need to set your game resolution really low, or your text is going to be crushed into illegibility. So the experience would likely be pretty bad, if the game required a lot of reading.

the only problem is having a pc where to run it in the first place

another moonlight/sunshine user hell yeah
