stdio redirection not working under Windows 10?

Closed this issue · 5 comments

I've been using the latest 3dslink on my Artix Linux laptop with no issue. I set up a Windows 10 laptop with all the devkitPro tools tonight and tried 3dslink on it. Uploading the executable works just fine, but when my app launches and tries to redirect stdio, it just hangs forever, and the laptop does nothing after printing server active .... Is there some configuration issue here or something else?

You'll most likely need to allow 3dslink through windows firewall, see https://pureinfotech.com/allow-apps-firewall-windows-10/

You should have got a popup the first time you used 3dslink but I think people quite often manage to close that dialog without noticing.

I will give this a try and report back! Thank you.

By the way, sorry to be a little off-topic, but would you mind taking a look at this forum thread I posted today, @WinterMute?

It's another Windows-ism that didn't seem appropriate as a GitHub issue. Thanks!

The popup looks like this

And the cry of beleagured programmers everywhere ... works for me ;o)
