Do you want to play The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on your Xbox One? While the chances of that happening officially still remain at a dreary 0%, there’s a way for you to make that dream come true. Introducing UWPStreamer, an app that has allowed Nintendo 3DS and Xbox One users to marry their two devices in a slightly rocky, yet loving union.

With the help of some custom firmware on your 3DS and a quick installation of UWPStreamer on your Xbox One, you can play 3DS games directly on your Xbox One – not just as an alternate display, but also using your Xbox One controller. While the process isn’t perfect, and it comes with a considerable amount of latency, it certainly doesn’t make any games unplayable.

If you’re looking for some novelty to make your gaming experience on 3DS a little more exciting, this process is definitely worth checking out. It requires a little bit of bravery to mess about with the Nintendo software that’s usually kept under lock and key, but users who know what they’re doing could get a lot out of this.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
