Yeh the WiFi max thing is a 3rd party AP dongle like the nintendo one.

Run your server program, I run your DS program connect to the AP, specify the IP of the AP that is on my computer, and then when i go connect it just has 2 black screens :S

I have the same problem that you :-(

A great pain, with the awesome that seems this utility.

new version

http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16859#

I'll check it out tonite when I get home, (dont have the compact flash hard writer with me here with me).

Keep up the good work!

I'll check it out later as well.

I tried it and the server froze and the DS wouldnt show the desktop or anything.

Hm, it seems a bit slower to update on the Ds now. before I'd get quick updates when i pressed to refresh a screen (within a second or two) now its coming up within 5-10 seconds, or it freezes. The PC side server is slow again, too. My computer is choppy when it runs, the last build was quick.

Looks like theres some work to do.

Nonetheless, keep it up, good to see you trying to fix it up.

with a less packet loss it should work faster
here in my home it works better
gonna try some things
and yes, the server is slow again xD

new version xD

It seems to work better, however, I still am having problem getting screen updates quickly. Mostly, the zoomed view. the fullscreen view updates when something changes on teh screen, like a window open or conversation reply, but I cant get the zoomed view to move to that quickly or at all really anymore.

Hmmm.. The server isnt bogging me down as much on the PC anymore, but still a bit sludgy. I'll continue to test it out.

update, I can't get any response as far as touch screen goes. when zoomed in, I cant click on anything, and when zoomed out, it doesnt seem to react to where I point to zoom in, which leads me to beleive somthing is up with the touchscreen stuff.

okay, so, I finally got a zoom update, but it was very slow (I'm talking, several minutes. the clicks I did also registered....minutes later)...so, theres a slow down problem with the response rate with clicking and zooming. but the zoomed out view updates very quickly for me.

try this,
if you press X button, the update rate will increase, with the Y button, it will decrease
as the server.exe is so badly programed, if u use a high update, i'll freeze your pc, causing things not to respond,
try tapping a few times (fast taps, as this works while hold the buttons) on Y, so it will not freeze the server

woo, an update, I'll checkout in a lil bit, messin with skins for moonshell.99

To everyone: copy the link location to your URL and replace 13 with 14. The link he offered is screwed up.

Anyway, server.exe is crashing, and I have no idea why. Says something about kernl32.exe or something not agreeing with it.

EDIT: Nevermind, link fixed.

server crashes?
:/
are you sure that it's the only instance running? if u got another app binded to port 8888 pointyremote will crash :/

Couldn't you make it that you can set the port for PointyRemote?

i can, but i'll do it on the good version xD

Well this release is waaay better. Colors are fixed, its fast enough to be usable-- I really prefer the stylus clicking to WinDS trigger clicking. There's a few changes Pointless could probably make in 5 minutes:

switch screen toggle trigger to left trigger so you can hold the ds with your left hand and hold stylus with your right

hold left on d-pad while clicking for right clicks

right on d-pad = 'enter' on keyboard, 'cause right now its really hard to double click icons

Great job pointless! You've pulled far ahead in the VNC wars. So I see Win2DS Sticky-- why no pointyRemote sticky?

Just tried it out. much faster then the last release. Looks real nice, and refreshes smoothly. The server no longer eats my CPU, either.

The suggestions Digicide posted above are good ones, I would consider implementing some.

Keep up the good work.

gamecop ofered me a forum, but i told him that i dont wanna a forum until tcp is working, and i can make a good version of pointyremote (btw, i'll change the name soom xD, it sucks xD)

and digicide, i'll build a release with those features

I like the name pointyremote

Hi Pointless, great app you've got going here. I was using Win2DS or DS2Win (whichever its called) but since .14 of pointRemote I have switched as it is much better!

GrupstraNDS, you say the server executable no longer uses so much CPU time and seeing as this was the only downside of pointyremote in my eyes, I was very excited to try this. Unfortunately, I have found that the CPU is still spanked just as heavily by server.exe as it always was. I know that the CPU cycles must be there for a reason but are there any future plans to optimise code to reduce this? Please don't see this as a moan or whine, I'm just curious about the future development of pR.

Congrats on the best piece of homebrew I have had the pleasure to use, ever!

yeap, i'll re-write everithing up with tcp, but not now
what pc do u have?

lol, yeah I didn't mean any time soon



Its a P4 Prescott 2.8 (clocked at 3GHz) with 1GB of Dual-DDR 400 - not a slow machine! I wonder if GrupstraNDS has an AMD based system and if that has anything to do with it....

uhm, should work with no problemas :/
i've tested it with an xp1700 and with a a64 3200 @2500 and it worked with no problems

i'll search for a pentium to test pointyremote on

It does work OK, in fact it works great. I just thought that the high CPU usage (about 40% of my 3GHz P4) was dis-proportionate to the amount of work the app does (I could be wrong there though, I'm no programmer!)

If server.exe is running my CPU will have a constant load of 30-50% and WinXP becomes quite sluggish and jerky. This is not a huge problem as I can close server.exe when I'm in front of the machine, I just wondered if you were aware of this and whether there's any way to reduce CPU load without forfeiting performance.

Cheers.

it's not normal :/ when i use it i get 2% of cpu use (running all the things that usually run on my pc)
i get a maximun of 10 (dont know if it's cause of the server or other things)

and in the xp 1700 i get a 7% use and peaks of 14
a pentium with that clock should not have too much problems running the server
the onlyu thing the server does is sending a cache of the procesed image on udp port :/

i'll search why this is happening
any other pentium user with the same problems?

P.Less.. with Tpc/ip working. there will be any speed improvment?

I have a Ideia..

theres a way to use a bigger image in zoom view so we can navigate a little bit with D-Pad... ( like PSP browser do with Web Pages.. )

this will be amazing for reading stuffs!

Ps: I get 60% of cpu usage !

@*#^$*&@#^$*&@^#*$^(*@#&$()*
i'll see what i can do

@*#^$*&@#^$*&@^#*$^(*@#&$()* means something good???

and bout your idea, yes, i was thinking in doing that, but to do it right, i have to rebuild the protocol and have more controls.... so, when tcp is release

I think you need a lefty option. I haven't tried the newest version, but from your description, it seems like it's designed for only right-handed people, since you have to use the d-pad to click.

to switch clicks, u still use the stylus to make the clicks

Congratulations to Pointless...

wow, just saw it :S

Having a little difficulty in making this work - I load the server program and run the.nds file. I'm able to connect to my ap, then it asks for an ip to use, then takes me to a black screen. Pressing select will prompt me to send text. This happens whether or not I have the server app running. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

it means that u dont have configured correctly the wifi, the ip or u have a the port blocked xD (u r not receiving any data)

I was using the same settings that made win2ds work, and I don't have a firewall, but what port should I try to open?

8888

Well, since ds2win works on that port... I don't understand what the problem could be...?

and you've been engadgeted (is that a word?)

Hmm, I have a Nintendo Wifi usb stick. I really want to use the program, and i tried this, but I don't know how to install the driver I've tried to install it, but I think I did it wrong. Can someone help me with it, or is there a other way to make my Nintdo usb stick work with PointyRemote?

Hi,

I need some help on getting this program to work. First I would like to know what i need to make it work. I have: a)Nintendo DS b)WiFi enabled game c)A wireless router. Im really confused about the readme, "configure your ap as u did on wifi ds test, when you are connected, press the udp test button". Could someone explain how to setup the whole thing step-by-step?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

he is reffering ro SGStairs WIFI Lib Test, the version in question would be.2b until he updates PointyRemote again

WOWOWOOWOWO.

Aswell as digg, lifehacker, engadget, dsfanboy and others.. Im so happy.

Well then how would I go about setting up the WiFi Lib Test? Do I need any special equipement to run the Wifi Lib Test? Sorry if this is annoying to anyone.

DS with items for homebrew, computer, router *some form of an AP*, and the lib test

wow, cant beleive how a good image can do this xD
thanks to the guy at Flickr bout this
