Full Version: I must be missing something really obvious...

I downloaded the files from both stickied topics, but neither give me any useful documentation. The readme file in 0.5 is useless, it gives me no info on how it works or how to connect. The Virtual Gamepad Setup text file in the 0.6 zip file might be helpful if I could get it connected. Other than those two files, I can't find any documentation or setup instructions.

I have a SuperCard SD which I can run the program itself from fine, but I can't connect to anything. Even if I could connect to my router, how would that help? Don't I need to connect to the computer, not the router?

I've tried running the .exe file in both .zip files, neither does me any good. I run the .nds file on my DS and it can't connect to anything. I've also tried browsing the forums, but all the info is so sparse and vague, I can't get anything useful from it.

Help?

You know what would be really nice? If it would just show up in the download play play menu. That'd be a nice feature if at all possible.

No, you need to connect it with the router, but before you connect it run the .exe file,
make sure that the DS' ip is different than your PC ip.
The DS2Key will automatically connect to the app on the pc.

It is possible, and it should work actually, but you need to set up your computer to
send it (you need WiFI card with a special chip) and your DS needs to be Flashed.

Okay, so I run the program on the computer. Then I turn on my DS with the DS2Key file on the SD card. I run the program, and connect to my router. Then I choose DS2KEY, then hit accept, then accept again, and then I'm at a screen where I believe it tells me which keys I'm pressing down, or where on the screen I'm touching.

However, nothing happens on the program running on the computer. It's just sitting there idle.

You have to change the destination IP to the IP of the computer running the server.

Tried that too. If I'm not mistaken, I should use ipconfig to find my IP, right? the output gives me a few numbers. Using the supplied IP Address doesn't work, nor does the Default Gateway. I'm not sure if either of those numbers is what I'm looking for. When I type them into the DS2Key screen it just hangs. The only thing I can do is go hit the edit button and try another one.

Are you using a DSLite? Some of them seem to have problems working with homebrew wifi apps. If you are, pm me and I'll see if we can get to the bottom of this.
