3DS
CONNECT AND CONFIGURE A GAMES CONSOLE TO ENABLE GAMES TO BE PLAYED BY PEERS

Name: Samuel Watts

Tutor: Lee Chadwick

Group: C16F-MEG-ED3-02

Platform: Portable console

Device name if applicable: 3DS

Hardware used:

• charger
• 3DS
• Stylus

Cable used: None

Help Provided: None

By whom: N/A

Game: Splinter Cell 3D

Configuration/Changes made: Brightness and sensitivity to camera

This is all the hardware that comes with the 3DS, it has two chargers, (one for a plug socket and the other for a charging port like in a car) a game case to keep the device in and the device itself.

This is a picture of me showing myself putting the charger into the wall.

You can now see me connect the charger to the device.

Here I showed myself putting the game into the device, it uses a game card which slots into a card reader in the back of the 3DS.

My thumb is using the power button to turn the device on.

As you can see this is what the device looks like once it has loaded up.

This is me using the stylus to touch the screen and load the game up.

This shows me entering the options menu of the game to calibrate the games settings.

Below are all the options the setting has, it shows the display, camera and sensitivity.

Here I could make the sensitivity higher or lower, I put it so the sensitivity was half way making it fast but not too fast.

These are the options for the camera, I put the controls so the Y-axis was not inverted to look around, you could recenter the camera by double pressing an action button and the camera has an auto centre.

Next I got feedback from a classmate to make sure the game worked and that he could play it, he told me "It works perfectly fine, Sam has set up the game correctly without any mistakes and has calibrated the game so the controls and camera are easy to use for the video game that I can play."

Here is a video of the game as I play it after setting it up.
