  1. plz help me every time I use this my ds says waiting when I type everthing in and then nothing happens :)

     

    Please read the main thread - there is a guide there - its prolly your firewall blocking it

  2. Sorry about bringing back an old post but I didnt want to duplicate topics, I can connect via localhost but not over internet.

     

    I connected to my own router, both using CFW and manual settings, type my external ip and password, but it just keeps displaying "Waiting" and WinDS PC program doesn´t show any sign of incoming activity.

     

    Im using both WinDS 0.8f and 0.81 fusion and I have my router in DMZ to my PC but just to be sure i forwarded the UDP port 8888 but nothing worked, and btw I dont have firewall.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks.

     

    External IPs only work when you are outside your local network, so if you are at home trying to connect to your external IP won't work (just use your internal one when at home).

     

    There is a way to get it working if your router has an option called NAT loopback, try googling this and your router model - but you may as well use your internal IP if you are local.

  3. The custom key in game pad mode used to work in the Ver0.8a(if I remember correct)

     

    but after that one, it doesn't work anymore.

     

    Yeah I've figured out what causes this, only problem is that the fix will bring back the old problem of capital letters not working properly.

     

    I'm trying to work on a solution that gets both working.

  4. is there anyway we could get a larger keyboard?

     

    good suggestion.. i've been thinking a larger keyboard is needed too =)

     

    I like the one used in DSOrganize, its a nice size and seems much easier to use.

     

    Anyone have any other hb keyboards they particularly like?

  5. lol, this old compy makes it harder than it should be then, I did ipconfig, pushed ok and a little black box with text comes up for a half second then closes :( its like this old computer hates me or something, or my ds

     

    Thats because you are typing it into a Run box, not the command prompt.

     

    Try typing in "cmd" (winxp) or "command" (win9x) into the run box first, then entering "ipconfig" (winxp) or "winipcfg" (win9x) at the command prompt it opens up.

     

    Alternatively, you can just right-click on your LAN connection (in network connections), select status and then click on the support tab to view your IP address.

  6. wow dude, runs even faster on my damaged, 2003 toshiba with a 1.5ghz celeron than the old version did on my buddies brand new 2007 imac which has a 2.2ghz dual core processor.

     

    you've made huge improvements and you have stopped me from considering a umpc

    keep up the great work!

    :(

    does this only work 1 ds per compy? I tried it with my older yet better lappy and it stops after the password input and stays at waiting. I'm sure it's the old lappy having a different I.P. and things, but for some reason I can't get it running the same way.

    so what's your experience with a different compy?

     

    here's a guide I wrote on another thread that will help you:

     

    if it gets to this stage it means

     

    1. Its successfully connected to your wifi network (Your WFC connection settings are correct)

     

    2. Something is blocking communcations on port 8888 UDP *OR* you are entering the wrong IP address

     

    So go to a command prompt and type ipconfig

     

    What it says next to "IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . :" is what you should type in. If you have multiple adapters try all the IP addresses listed.

     

    Otherwise if you are having trouble connecting look at your

     

    1. Windows firewall

    2. 3rd Party Security / Antivirus / Firewall software

     

    And either deactivate the firewall (not recommended) or open UDP port 8888

     

    This is pretty much as simple as I can make it, do all this and it is guaranteed to work, provided you have got up to that screen

  7. How fluid is a movie supposed to play on the DS end? It plays normally on the host, being executed by the DS, but the actual video on the DS is very choppy. Perhaps I missed something but is 'watchable' movies possible, or just executable? Also, there was no sound on the DS end. Is that normal as well? Thanks and I love this app. Love remote apps on all platforms. Was using one via my cell phone with no luck though :(

     

    The movie will get max of maybe 5-9 frames per second, and no, sound doesn't work. Make sure you turn on the keyboard or turn off the other screen for maximum update speed

  8. God I've got a stupid streak....Firewall was under TCP......Thanks for your help!!

     

    Glad you got it working =) dont feel stupid (even I thought it was TCP for bloody ages - it wasn't till I rewrote the server that I worked out it was UDP lol)

  9. Thank for update : )

    Bug found

    -gamepad key board dont work woth some program (very old know problem)

     

     

    How do I use the movie player feature?

     

    If you'd like this fixed please tell me which keys dont work with which programs (so I can test), cheers =)

     

    I tried it with 3D Pinball for window (which comes with Window)

    I set "Z" and "/" to kick the ball but it don't work

    but "F2" for start new game work properly.

     

    Also, I tried it with Little Fighter2 (www.lf2.net)

    buttons don't work

    Can you test it?

    May be it cause by my PC

     

    btw, How do I use Movie player?

     

    Put tons of AVI files in a folder, then point the server at that folder - if it can play the AVI it will work, if it can't play, it will skip them until it finds one that is compatible.

     

    I've tested Divx/Xvid and plain AVIs and they all seem to work, but some of the weirder encodings don't work.. this may be because of the version of the Video for Windows dll I'm hooking into or something.

     

    If anyone has any delphi coding experience loading a movie stream and extracting individual frames, please contact me.

  10. Hate that I have to go from post to post to find my continuing problems, buuut...

    Same thing with me, I'm stuck on Connection Status : Waiting...

    At least it's a step forward but I feel sooo close to getting it to work. Firewall is set up with Exceptions. IP Address is correct (I use the 192.x.x.x right? not my actual IP?)

    Annnny ideas? -_-

  11. Would a monochrome screenshots option reduce file sizes and speed updates a bit in higher resolutions?

    I use 1280x720 in my widescreen monitor, and ds2win is painly slow with this size. I have to change it to 800x600 just to use it. 800x600 is 4:3, very bad when seen in a 720p widescreen.

     

    I run it at 1440x900 with no problems on my widescreen monitor - could be your CPU speed - try changing the quality settings and make sure you aren't running any other CPU-intensive programs at the same time.

  12. Thank for update : )

  13. This app works great with my CycloDS EVO! I can access my computers flawlessly from my home network. Thanks! I have this installed on my laptop and my security camera computer and can view my cameras without having to be in front of the computer! When I try to access a computer remotely from another network it works for a few seconds then freezes. It will connect and I can see the screens refreshing for a bit then some parts of the screen become discolored and the program becomes unresponsive. I can't bring up the menu or keyboard. I'll try adjusting the the quality settings and see if that helps. Has anyone else had this problem?

     

    try turning down the refresh rate to normal rather than ultra when on external network, i'll try adding some better recovery code for lossy/internet connections soon

  14. I've tried changing all the server settings from DS and haven't managed to re-produce the error thats being reported. Could someone tell me exactly what they were changing at the time, and do you see garbled output on your PC or DS or both?

  15. I didnt have that problem when using the DS to click on the server, but I'll test more thoroughly and see what I can find out.

     

    For future bug reports if you could specify what CPU you have, and what settings you are using, I'd be very interested to see what kind of PC hardware people are using to run this, and if it could be a factor.

  16. Okay, I got r4, tried to get it working, it tries to connect and in the server log it says that password was rejected, or something like that, It just repeats it so fast I cant read it.

     

    I tried no password, did not work

    I tried password, it did not work.

     

    any Ideas as to what to do?

     

    Thats strange.. did the previous version (0.80f) work for you?

     

    Anyone else having this problem? It should work with a blank password.

     

    Make sure caps lock is off, or make sure password isnt too long perhaps?

  17. DS2Win Fusion v0.81c - March 26, 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 probably need to be DLDI patched before using (unless you have a R4DS like me and its done automatically)

     

    Changelog:

    ----------

     

    0.81c

    server - zoom levels now gradually increase by 0.125 between 1x-2x

    client - change zoom level without swapping screen by holding L before you hold R and use ABXY

    client - dual screen zoom mode now available!

     

    0.81b

    server - fixed access violation when trying to use movie player and no videos could be found

    client - fixed keyboard presses to work in most directx games/applications again

     

    0.81a "the oracle"

    server - completely rewrote server in Delphi and it is now perfectly stable, i think! =)

    server - implemented CRC checking for better detection of duplicate screens

    server - cursor no longer flickers when capture transparent pixels is enabled

    server - all options can now be configured without restarting the server

    server - JPEG quality is now configurable for zoomed and fullscreen views

    server - JPEGs are no longer saved to disk before sending to DS which should speed up things a lot

    server - extra quality setting added for mid-range CPUs

    server - movie player beta (no sound, only works with fairly standard AVI files)

    server - added option to run on windows startup

    client - FAT support added (DLDI patching now required) only IP address is saved for now

    client - disabled screen updates while lid is closed to save battery power

  18. is it just me...or is that link for V2 not working...and noone else can find it ANYWHERE else....

    coincidence?

    have we all been had?

    lol but on a serious note...i have WIN2DS v0.8 and R4DS. It hangs on the waiting screen too...appreciate it if anyone could help :D

     

    V2 is version 0.2 i think..

     

    chriss fixed his problem by entering .002 for .2 instead of .200 in the ip address

     

    make sure UDP 8888 is open on windows firewall, and your antivirus firewall if you have one.

     

    also check your ip using ipconfig at the command prompt

  19. "not too sure by what you mean with grab and drag (isnt that the same as your first suggestion except not on the edges?)"

    -The best way to explain is this scroll See how that site scroll ;)

     

    "Why can't you just use the ABXY keys to scroll the zoomed screen?"

    -You said it your self :shootem:

    client - holding L button while zoomed screen is on lower screen will now temporarily disable click to enable quicker scrolling using stylus

     

    Good ideas though, I'll keep them in mind in the future =) (maybe after FAT and the movie player)

     

    I've seen a really cool Hex layout keyboard that looks really nice too, if anyone knows of other DS sourcecode with better input methods please let me know!

     

    New delphi version of the server is almost ready, just implementing settings pages. Maybe I'll release it when views hits 10,000 or something =)

  20. ill be waiting for the new update =) i need it for it not to be so laggy for me

     

    and i cant turn my virus scanner off its mcafee...

    I hate it but i bought it so...

     

    try right clicking on the system tray icon (by the clock at the lower right hand corner of the screen) and checking either options to turn off JPG extension scanning, or turn off virus-shield or whatever its called.
