Can you control multiple DS at the same time? (Pokemon shiny hunting)

[ShinyKiwi]

Hello, I want to send in 6 original Nintendo DS to get a capture card installed each (for my shiny hunting setup).

Now I was wondering if you need more software on top of that to control them all via one controller at the same time and if that is possible with this software? I saw some youtube stuff where people were doing that for their shiny hunting setup but I am not sure if it works with this. My goal is to be able to stream all 6 ds to my pc and control them all at the same time with one controller.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

They would each need a controller mod. It's separate from the capture card. Loopy has the source files for his on the 3DS order page, including the gerber and code. You can use a wavebird with multiple receivers to control multiple, or split the signal from a GC controller between all of them (I think? Just assuming based on https://twitter.com/EvoCapture1/status/ ... 6058434563).

Edit: turns out this is not true for any controller.

Thanks for the info but unfortunately I dont own Game Cubes. I would need all of this for the original DS. I looked a bit more but I couldnt find anything online about it, people showing off some prong insert into their DS (next to the capture card) which seems custom too but I have no idea how to do that or who to write to pay to do it for me.

Controlling multiple systems with a single controller is a separate mod from the capture board, everyone I know has had it installed by gonjona, you can try messaging him on here but his twitter might be a better option. I've heard he's pretty backed up though so it could take a while to get em. There is a newer part available that can also allow controlling multiple systems with one controller, but I only know people who have installed it for themselves and don't offer install services.

Since Ive wrote this post originally ive done more digging and the new system youre talking about seems promising as ive heard that Gonjona isnt installing stuff anymore, so I had to look for an alternative. The new system is from InsideGadgets (if its the one youre talking about as well). Ive seen a tutorial on YouTube but it seems pretty complicated for someone (aka me) that has never done any soldering beforehand. But I havent found anyone who would be willing to do that (ofc for a price), so idk how to do that yet.

I was wondering if Loopy would be willing to install it (ofc. for a price again) if I would send it with the DS systems on top of the capture card install. I wrote him an email yesterday but havent heard back yet. I understand ofc if thats not possible but I thought asking wouldnt hurt.
