General options

Streaming Mod

• Options: NTR, HzMod, ChirunoMod

• Description: The 3DS mod to connect to.

3DS IP

• Options: any IP address. For the technical, it could be any network address in theory, including a URL, but this isn't officially supported.
• Default: 0.0.0.0 (almost certainly will not work)
• Description: The IP address of the 3DS. Can be found through various means, see basic usage.

Layout

• Options: Separate, Vertical, Vertical (Inv), Horizontal, Horizontal (Inv), Top Only, Bottom Only
• Default: Separate
• Description: The layout of the two screens. Currently only supported in visual output. File streaming effectively uses top screen only while image sequence effectively uses separate.

Top Scale

• Options: Any positive number
• Default: 1.0
• Description: Multiplicative factor to scale the top screen by.

Bottom Scale

• Options: Any positive number
• Default: 1.0
• Description: Multiplicative factor to scale the bottom screen by.

Color Mode

• Options: Regular, VC Blue Shift (Test), Grayscale
• Default: Regular
• Description: Effect to manually correct for color issues. VC Blue Shift (Test) improves HzMod colors for Virtual Console games, but it's definitely not perfect.

3DS Port

• Options: Integer 0-65535
• Default: Depends on mod
• Description: The port Chokistream will attempt to connect to. Depends on mod. Chokistream will generally take care of this for you, but in some rare situations you may have hacked a mod to use a different port.

Log Mode

• Options: Console, File, Both
• Default: Console
• Description: Where log output goes. If not running from a console, "Console" effectively does nothing and "Both" is effectively "File".

Log Level

• Options: Regular, Verbose, Extreme
• Default: Regular
• Description: How much logging to enable. "Regular" will show you the most important messages, such as errors and warnings. "Verbose" will include significant debug logs. "Extreme" includes the above as well as all data received from the 3DS and significantly more information about data sent to the 3DS.

Log File

• Options: Any possible filename
• Default: chokistream.log
• Description: What file to send logging output to in "File" and "Both" log modes.

Output Format

• Options: Visual, File Streaming, Image Sequences

• Description: Factor for how frequently to send the priority screen compared to the non-priority screen.

QoS

• Default: 26
• Description: Networking packet priority value. Probably never makes a meaningful difference.
