Thought this might be the appropriate topic rather than create a new one:

I'm trying to run a few homebrew apps such as BeUp ((msn messegner type program)i think thats it) and ircds and another one thats a web browser, but my DS connects through wi-fi through the nintendo USB Wi-Fi adaptor, so i'm not exactly sure how to get it running properly. The one for Beup showed me how to put in the settings but that was i think more for a router, i did the ipconfig thing but that didnt really help the cause at all.

So if someone knows how to get wireless working on homebrew apps with the Ninty Wi-fi adaptor, it'd be much appreciated

Sorry Didn't Notice This Post!

Ok I Have an R4 + 2GB MicroSD, Also I use a Nintendo Wifi Connector

The hombrew I use is Moonshell Mostly (its movies books and music) But of course I use ComicbookDS when I feel like a comic and I was using LMP-ng until I opted for Moonshell

The average user I would say only needs Moonshell! Then you have everything you need:

In Moonshell I Currently Have:

 • Whole Music Collection (500MB)
 • Pokemon Episodes
 • The Life Of Brian

Psshaw, 10gb? thats still tiny
Granted there's only 12gb on the pc, though in total i have near 40gb of music, that is, if the discs they were on weren't stuffed so i could transfer them back >.<

though really at any one time 1 or 2 gb of music would do me, as far as holding it on the DS at least.

There are a lot of variables so I doubt I can help with a specific problem you may have though there is a forum so google Doom DS and find a forum and see if there is a step by step tutorial

ps. I prefer to play doom on my iRiver H10!!

I have been playing with Flickbook. masscat.afraid.org/ Its a homebrew application that allows you to create animations on your DS like you used to do in the corner of your math book and then flick the pages to make it animate.
Below is my demo. This 15 second video at 12fps consists of 180 frames.

I just played my DS with about 12 of my friends (with DS's). First time I played DS in a LONG time, I don't have an R4 or anything of that sort because I can't be bothered spending $80 on it when i can buy a tv console game for that much. What else can I do with my DS without getting a r4 or that sort

By spending the money on a flash cart you unleash the true power of the DS. It will become a PDA, eBook reader, movie player, MP3 Player, picture viewer, and what ever else people have come up with. Oh yeah plus homebrew games can be of a very high standard. DS quake is very good and I heard they are working on Quake 2 now.

There are so many emulators available for a wide range of platforms. The beauty of this is most of the games have become abandonware so are legal to download. My opinion is your $80 on a flash cart will keep you busier than a console game. You will have more uses for your DS so will use it more often. I take mine with me everywhere I go as I treat it as a PDA. If I am on a train or having a slack night at work I just pop on a movie and off I go. Its easier than lugging a Laptop around and with a good set of head phones the sound is great. If you listen to MP3's you can close the DS and just have it in your pocket. By pushing the shoulder buttons you cam change songs.

Get a Flash Cart, I recommend the Supercard SD one, see my review in the accessories section under flash carts.

AMAP4DS www.andreani.net/ is a great tool for your DS while you are on the go.

This software allows you make your own maps that can be loaded on a flash cart and help you navigate roads, train lines and anything else you can think of. Check out my review, download my samples and check out the example movies and screenshots. www.myds.com.au/

You will love it.

Getting doom to run was fairly easy.

You just need to download dsdoom.googlecode.com/ which contains the shareware version of quake and required files for the DS.

Copy doom.wad, prboom.wad and prboom.cfg to the root of your flash cart file system. The .nds file can be run from anywhere. If you have the full version of doom copy the .wad file from that and rename it to doom.wad and replace the shareware copy of the file.

Just run doom.nds and you should be fine. If you still have problems try DLDI patching doom.nds with the correct DLDI file for your flash cart.

Whoa whoa whoa, just to clarify.

Abandonware is not legal.

If a game has not been declared to be in the public domain, either by the copyright expiring or the copyright holder releasing the game into the public domain, it is not legal to download it. It is piracy, even if the game is not being sold in any form anymore.

That said, carry on.

Oh did I say abondonware..... Umm I meant freeware......

Anyway while you are here check out my latest homebrew review.


Flickbook masscat.afraid.org/ has been updated to version 0.3. New features include a bigger drawing area, more colours and the use of layers. I will have a new movie out in the coming weeks made with the updated version. This time I will include sound which will also be generated with a DS just to keep it all made by a DS. Well mostly!

Continued from www.myds.com.au/ . To get the web browser to work in DSOrganise, go to the configuration menu and set up your wireless settings which are located in the last tab. Then just run the web browser. I have found varying performance based on the speed of the MicroSD card.

At the moment I am playing Metal Slug 3 on the DS. Trying to relive the memory of finishing the game with 1 credit in the arcade several years back.
