[Questions] Estim tutorials

[zou2oury]

Hello all anyone can explain all stuff related to estim. What hardware/software we need.
Thank you in advance

Basics:
- Estim Box that can take audio input
- Electrodes and suitable cables
- Headphones or something
- Video with video audio
- Stim File that has the stim audio

If you're on Windows 10 or 11, you can open up Sound Settings -> App Volume and Device Preferences and then set specific audio sources on your computer to play to specific audio devices.

Set whatever application you're using to play the Video/Audio to your Headphones.
Set whatever application you're using to play the Stim File Audio to whichever headphone jack you've plugged your Estim Box into.

For estim boxes currently on the market that are decent at handling most stim files:
True StereoStim:
- MK-312BT (made by Erostek, new version of the classic ET-312)
- The Tingler (made by Stimkits)
- Estim Hero Stereo (made by Estim Hero who runs the website Estim Hero... its recursive)
Pseudo StereoStim:
- Micro 312 is a great little box that *was* made in someone's backyard, but they got overwhelmed and had other life commitments. You can still find them on the usual resale sites, but new ones aren't being made anymore
Pulse-based Boxes:
- 2B (made by Estim Systems - pulse style box so there are a lot of files that it doesn't translate well)
- Coyote (made by Dungeon Labs)
Unknown - I've never seen anyone talk about it:
- SensaVOX EM140 (made by ElectraStim)


Personally I can attest to the quality of the Micro 312, The Tingler and the 2B. My favourite is absolutely the Micro 312, as it provides great output quality and has very nicely layed out controls for using it. It's a real shame that the guy stopped making them, but life be like that sometimes.

As for finding stim file audios:
- You can use this converter made by edger477 https://edger477.github.io/funstim/funstim.html to turn a normal funscript (the kind used for Stroker toys) into a stim file. It ain't perfect, but its pretty good. You can find a lot of funscripts at the site eroscripts https://discuss.eroscripts.com/
- Scrounge the Milovana forums or go through the Estim Hero site's Releases page https://estimhero.com/ though I believe you need to create an account to access Estim Hero stuff.
- Ask people in here very nicely if they have any recommendations or Mega Links to scrounge through
- Discords: Joanne's Estim Community https://discord.gg/3jazKfGJ, Hardstim Community https://discord.gg/Y8mmhVvH, eStim Station (18+) https://discord.gg/YQuBcDzM are all great places to check out.

Ok, you have finally motivated me to update that converter (functionally is same, all that was added was a dialog with warning). This is pretty outdated now and I hope most people will move towards restim, if not for playing estim directly, then at least for converting funscripts into mp3.

When already there and using restim, I'd recommend building foc-stim over any other boxes, it is the best way to stim right now.

Many thanks all :)) I do appreciate it.

Hey, I hate to hijack this thread, but is there any walkthrough tutorials for this? I have piddled around with restim several times and I cant seem to intuitively understand how its done.
