my IP is 67.48.243.5 but the ip on the ds has 12 digits in it. how do i enter my 8 digit IP if im required to type in 12 on the ds?
First of all thats your external (internet) IP, so if you're connecting on your own network you need the ip address of the machine running the server (which you can get by typing ipconfig at a command prompt)
Second, read the readme... it tells you to pad out your IP with extra zeros if you have a number like 5 its 005, so yours would be 067.048.243.005.

well, i can honestly say: crap. i mean uhhh, thanks for the heads up on arguments, i was going to be passing the ip in 4 parts, plus 1 part for the port. now i know i will have to parse a single argument, that alone probably saved me a food 3 hours of "wtf?".
i'll probably get started on it by this weekend, i was so sure i could con you into doing this i started reading some starlet asm tutorials for the wii. so i guess thanks for saving me from THAT hell too
hahaha.i promise i will try not to, but if i run into any problems (specific to your code, not ds compiling in general i promise) would it be ok to PM you?
thanks again, it really is good loking code, you really couldnt have made it much easier *cough*COMMENTS*cough* for some jackarse to pick up where you stopped. my appluase, adulation, respect, and hats off to you sir. hopefully you take up this past time again for future ds projects.
Thanks! You can feel free to send me a PM if you need advice, can't promise when I'll be able to reply, but will check it every now and then!

ok, so is that the official "im not touchin this code no more" post? cause im not one of those impatient people, im MUCH more lazy
and seeing as how i am currently between projects, if you never ever ever intend to impliment dns lookup and port selection, then i'll get to it. only a couple more dialogs on the ds side (i'll probably repurpose the password dialog and not use your cool ip picker ) and one more box on the server. i cant see it taking more than a few days after i figure out how wifilib works
well, heres hoping that YOU do it, and failing that, i would gladly accept any pointers or advice you have about bugs you ran into or pitfalls to avoid, as this will be my first DS coding
oh last question, would you be offended if i changed the color of the menus? just to differentiate versioning??
Yes it was pretty official when i released 0.82 and called it the final version, I won't be working on it anymore, but I wish you all the best!
I won't be offended by any changes whatsoever (I've just improved the software anyway, the original author Sintax designed the GUI menuing system, and did a lot of the technical work). I just optimized it, fixed bugs and made it much more usable (before i worked on it a lot of the clicking was inaccurate, screen colors were garbled and it would only give you a screen update every 10 seconds or so, as well as not responding to keypresses half the time - due to the large delay between redrawing).
As long as future coders keep up the quality of the code and presentation, I'd be really happy to see people add more to this great little program - just DONT FORGET TO RELEASE YOUR SOURCE!!! No one since Sintax released their source (version 0.5) that I can see.. so all their changes were lost to the community.
As far as bugs go, the only one I came across was trying to call a procedure with a few too many arguments (I think it was 5) and it kept ignoring one - I was trying to pass the zoom level in the DS code - I had to write some kind of dirty fix to get around it, and the file reading/writing code is pretty basic, as I just did enough to get it working on my R4, as I didn't have other cards to test it with.
Good luck, and my sincere thanks to Sintax for starting off such a great project.

Thanks everyone for you kind comments!
Unfortunately since starting my own software development business in NZ, I haven't the time to further develop this software.
A few hints for those who'd like to recompile:
It should compile with a clean install of Delphi and Indy 10, or with a few small modifications it will run with Indy 9 that comes with Dephi 7.
The source for the DS code will compile under a default Devkitpro/ARM installation to c:\devkitpro\
I tried to make the code as straightforward as possible, and didn't have a fixed plan to release it so didn't comment the delphi much (compare it to the original C++ server, and you'll see the massive reduction in lines of code as I rewrote it - its much easier to follow now)
There is a bit of ugly stuff where I tried to make it handle virtual keys in a more compatible way, but hopefully future coders can work out the correct way to do it!

thx got it working! Do you know or if you can, how to change how zoomed in you are on the zoom screen?
Just hold R and use ABXY to change the zoom.
(If you don't want it to swap screens first, Hold L and then hold R, and release L, then use ABXY while still holding R).

I really need help to get this homebrew working (as you can see in the smileys). I ran the win2ds server without the password on my pc. I turned my ds on and ran win2ds with supercard lite rumble(the .nds file). I selected manual setup and it showed: ds ip 192.168.001.***, and all the other stuff and i clicked the check. I then selected my linksys app and it ran some connection things and i had to enter my ip: 192.168.001.***. I clicked the check and i had to enter my password. For the password i left it blank because I didn't set a passwordand i hit enter. Now is the problem... It is stuck at the connection status: waiting screen. *****one reason i think this may be is because my router has a wep key (password) and there is nowhere to enter it on the program, so should i remove the password (wep) from my router?**** If you have help or suggestions please post right away! Thx!
why don't you use a game that uses WFC like Mario Kart to setup (and test) the WFC settings, then use the WFC connect feature? If you don't have Mario Kart you can use DSOrganise to configure WFC (firmware saved wifi settings).
Also make sure you've opened a port on your windows firewall or 3rd party firewall (or temporarily disabled it).

To compile the server under Delphi 7, you'll need to get Indy 10 (free download)
Win2DS (Server) source code can be downloaded from:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/335522/n/Win2DS_source_zip
DS2Win (Client) source code can be downloaded from:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/783dcd/n/DS2Win_source_zip
Good luck to any developers who pick this up!

hi,
i really tried hard last days to get that working ,but i couldn´t handle it
so i´m trying to get a hint from you (monkeynz) or somebody else willing to help me
i tried some of the earlier versions (before 0.
and nearly all of your .82x versions, beside your .82 version for witch you announced it shouldn´t freese.i tried two OS: XP and Vista, opened port 8888 as UDP (also tried TCP), added firewall exception, deaktivatet firewall, deaktivatet antivirus software and tried a lot of ip configurations, but still wasn´t able to figure out why it stops refreshing.
so maybe you could tell if youre done with this app/thread.
but i hope somebody else could help me otherwhise,
ps: as i tried the app at a friends network i couldnt believe how good it really worked, if it just could do so at my home network, this version would work for me very well
I'm not sure why it stops working after a while, does it work again if you select Reconnect from the menu?
Could possibly be something to do with your wireless hub.

Hi Guys,
Yes this will probably be the last release, if I release any more updates they will just be minor fixes.
I'll be releasing the source code shortly (once I clean it up) for anyone who is interested in picking up the project and taking it a step further.
I've enjoyed the challenge of working on this nice piece of software, its been a lot of fun, hope you guys enjoy using it!
Cheers,
monkeyNZ

Wow ! I'm Impressed ! Finally a homebrew that works with my crappy wifi and even fast at that !
Just one request monkeynz, could you possibly add custom key profile saving to Win2DS aswell ?
I mean it like this:
Type profile into DS using the soft-keyboard, next save it into some kind of TXT or ini or whatever file onto the card in a folder which might be called "DS2WinProfiles.
BTW: typing in letters in the custom keybord customization causes them to not show up ( instead blanks are shown).
Thanks for the feedback - Interesting idea, you could achieve this manually at the moment by renaming the DS2WIN.INI file using DSOrganize or some other file browser, but would be a bit clunky.
I'm aware of the blank letters problem, have tried a few times to fix this, but haven't had any luck finding the solution yet.

Theres a new version (0.82) here http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27746

DS2Win Fusion v0.82 - June 12, 2008
-----------------------------------------
DS2Win Fusion is a program designed to allow you to do ALL the things you could do with your PC, harnessing the
wireless capabilities and touch screen for maximum usability. Play movies, games and browse the net, check emails,
the sky is the limit! All you need is a windows PC and a wireless router or card.
This is an customized build of the Win2DS client and server, both the client and server have been enhanced
to provide new features, higher speed and service quality.
Note: This release will need to be DLDI patched before using (unless you have a R4DS like me and its done automatically)
Changelog:
----------
0.82 "final version"
server - movie name and frameskip are now shown while playing movies in player
client - custom keys are saved to memory card
client - recompiled with devkitpro r23
If you have trouble getting this to work PLEASE read the readme.txt file included very carefully and follow the instructions.
Download from:
Enjoy!
-
is this going to be the last version?
I've had a go at making the keys work with MAME, but can't find the right combination of virtual key scan codes to use. I've done a small update which shows the name of the movie you are playing, and the current frameskip, but nothing major yet.
Thinking about making it save the custom keys possibly for the last version.

Hey. First post here!
I am having some trouble with actually starting this app. Every time I start it, I get a white screen on the top and bottom. I know that this means compatibility issue, but I am not sure how to fix it.
Here is my setup

Passcard
Slot 2

DLDI
Win32 GUI DLDI Program with EZ4 SD Card DLDI File
I dont have a EZ4 to test with, but you could try downloading one of the earlier versions before I added DLDI support and see if that works?
Have you managed to successfully patch any other DLDI homebrew? (Is there anyone else with a EZ4 that can help?)
-
This is my first time posting here.
I don't really understand Win2ds because sometimes I can go in and other times it gets stuck on connecting.
How can I make it connect every time???
*My internet connection is fine, no firewalls, etc..
Please answer
Drifta
Sounds like your wireless signal is weak, try pointing your wireless antenna towards the location where your ds will be most of the time (and also try to keep it at right angles to walls)

Hey monkeynz I have a request.
I have two different login in users on my pc. I opened up win2ds on one and it works then i switch over to the other user and i tried to open it up in there but obviously it didn't work because the port was already being used in the other user.
So what I'm asking here is can you make it possible to have it work with different ports so i could have one open with the two users on my pc.
BTW this program is great!! i love the new dual screen zoom!
Thanks
sure, i'll look into this if i get time
Thanks for the praise, really nice to see people enjoy this program!
Please post in this forum the favourite feature you would like to see added in the next version.
The best/most popular idea that interests me the most will be implemented in the DS2Win Fusion 0.81d.
-
Awesome concept, but mine goes really slow for some reason, can this be fixed?
expected speed should be about 6-8 frames per second, if you find it goes slower than this it may be your computers CPU slowing things down, try switching the server to low cpu mode for both screens.
-
Does Win2DS support WEP encryption? I can only seem to use it when I disable WEP. Otherwise I get stuck at the "aunthenticating" message on my DS. Sorry if this is already a known problem.
Great app btw. I can use my computer at my university without having to lug around a laptop. Thanks.
WEP works fine on my router, does your WEP setup work in the WFC games like Mario Kart DS etc?

New version out 0.81c - check post #1 of this thread! =)

Great Job~~~
can you fix a bug:
in the Virtual Desktop the "down to send backspace" is not work
thanks a lot
The Chinese edition of my recode hope that you don't mind
heh nice job with the chinese! will have a look into this when I have time.

I got it all running on my R4 with a DS Lite. With the settings set to Ultra, it runs like a dream on 2gb ram, 3.00Ghz cpu. But, is there any way to reduce the zoom on the zoomscreen?
I tried to watch youtube videos and it worked, but I can't see the whole thing on the zoom, because it zooms to much. And I really don't want to run full-screen all the time either.
EDIT: L+Down or Up=Zoom, figured out after a while.
And videos/movie, what format do Win2DS read? I tried with .avi files, no luck, only says "No playable movies could be found".
Otherwise, a very good homebrew, tried to run Red Alert 2, since it's a pretty old game, and it worked. Going to try more advanced game like WoW and CSS soon.
EDIT: I tried WoW, actually worked pretty good. I managed to kill something and with custom keys, I could walk around.
Still waiting for answer about Movie and video format.
Waiting for answers...
It only works with some AVI files (the more standardly encoded ones I would guess).
It will not work with WMV or MPG, cos I'm using a AVI stream decoder (which is complicated enough at this point)

I'd really like to have some discussions with you regarding gamepad support, some problems and suggestions etc, is there anywhere we can have a chat? IRC? Messenger? etc?
You can send me some PMs if you'd like, I should warn you - I never use the gamepad mode so I don't focus on its development, the only reason I decided to do this change was to get the keyboard working correctly when I tried playing World of Warcraft on the DS using Virtual Desktop Mode. (Which is actually quite playable on my Sempron 3400+ with Geforce 6600GT)
You'll also note that I've disabled auto-fire on the gamepad buttons to keep the person who requested that happy (if you don't like it use the previous version)
Oh.. and the secret keys for the movie player are: Hold down L button and use ABXY to control frameskip, next movie, fast forward and rewind.
-
Testedclient - fixed keyboard presses to work in directx games/applications again
OK...I see some improvement.
I tested it with Window pinball.
Most button seem to work. (A-Z / F1-12)
but space bar doesn't work.
I will try find if there are more...
Thank
Good work
Thanks for the feedback, yeah the odd button may not work but most will (due to the kinda funky code I had to write to get around the problem).. i'll try to get space fixed =)
Happy Valentines Day!

Yes absolutely, but you would have to make sure your port 8888 is forwarded to the internet, and unblocked from your firewall(s).
www.portforward.com has a lot of guides to help you set this up, the destination ip for the port forward is your PC's IP address
port forwarding is also called virtual servers on some modems/routers
I've done this before, and if your upstream bandwidth is ok, it can be just as good as over a local network.
