3DS Discord Rich Presence (3DS-RPC) is an expansion of RiiTag-RPC, the gamertag created by RiiConnect24 which allows you to display your 3DS gameplay status on your Discord profile. It is a Python-based application that uses the pypresence library to send Rich Presence data to Discord.

To use 3DS-RPC, you need to register your Discord account on the 3DS-RPC website and connect it to your Nintendo 3DS friends list. After registration, you can choose which consoles you'd like to enable for displaying your gameplay status. You'll also need to be in a Discord with the bot. RiiConnect24 Discord has the bot.

It also supports mobile users and to work without a Desktop client open.

User guide

Open the website 3dsrpc.com and click on the icon in the top right-hand corner, then choose Register. By following the steps on the website, you will be able to connect your target Discord account to 3DS-RPC.

After doing so, enter your consoles menu by clicking on your PFP in the top-right corner and choosing "'s consoles".

In the consoles menu, select "Register Friend Code" and follow the on-screen instructions. After doing so, click "Add To Consoles".

You can change which consoles you'd like to enable, if any, in the consoles menu.

▼ Quick demonstration

If you'd still like to use the Desktop Client instead of linking your Discord account, that's still an option. You can do so by following the instructions in the below section.

Using the Desktop Client

Download the app from the latest release and run.

Once ran, the app will ask for you to add a friend on your Nintendo 3DS. This is for the express purpose of pulling your currently playing Nintendo game.

Open Discord first, and then open 3DS-RPC.
Add the bot's friend code provided.
Enter your own friend code when prompted.
That's it. Each update is around every ~30 seconds (keep in mind, the backend is updating at a different rate than the client, so this may vary). They are automatic, but it may take upwards of one minute after the program begins. To make certain that everything is in order, check your 3DS' friends list to verify the bot account has added you back.

FAQ

Q. Whenever I play a game, 3DS-RPC won't change from the home screen!

Firstly, try waiting ~30 seconds, as the application has a fairly slow response time. Secondly, make sure that you've enabled "Show friends what you're playing?" on your 3DS' friends app.

Screenshots

Changelog

v1.1

Use IDBE database as a fallback for unknown games.
- This means that virtually all games are now supported and displayed by 3DS-RPC.

Credits

This project connects to a self-hosted API (or one provided by me) and fetches data received by mimicking a real 3DS connecting to the friends service and receiving friend data.

I'd like to thank:

kinnay and his NintendoClients
- NintendoClients is what this program uses to pretend to be a real 3DS.
hax0kartik and his 3dsdb
- 3dsdb is an open-source project that includes data about games on the eShop. A modified version of it is used to retrieve the game's name and icon url.
HEYimHeroic and her mii2studio
- mii2studio is a command line tool written in Python that allows the user to convert between various versions of Nintendo Mii formats. I have created a modified version of it internally to convert CFSD (really, MiiData) to Mii Studio code.
jaames and his mii-qr.py
- mii-qr.py is a Python script that converts from the encrypted QR code format to normal CFSD. For whatever reason, a direct connection to the friends service on the 3DS returns a QR code, so this is insanely useful. Thank you.
qwerty for her pypresence
- pypresence is a useful Python module that allows developers to connect their games to Discord via Python. It is how 3DS-RPC sends Rich Presence data to Discord.
StartBootstrap for their startbootstrap-sb-admin
- startbootstrap-sb-admin is a template using bootstrap which is how I created the friends network website.
MrGameCub3 for resource design.
- He made all of the pretty things :) -- except for the app's GUI. I did that. But the pretty logos were his.
