Thats great, I'm really glad you got it working chriss, after our attempts =) To speed up win2ds, make sure antivirus ignores JPG files (won't be needed in the next version, as I use memory streams instead of saving to disk) Also turn full screen updates to SLOW or OFF and leave zoomed screen updates on ULTRA or FASTER to get really fast updates for zoomed screen (or vice versa). Try not to run other programs that use a lot of CPU power at the same time on the PC that is hosting win2ds for optimum speed. I've added a section in the new help file so other people confused about entering IP addresses will benefit from your trouble =)

Can you make change for how you scroll? Current - scroll by tap anywhere and it goes there(as it is overview screen) To...(when hold L button) -move when touch the edge of screen and move that way (as RTS game) or -grab&drag (as most picture viewer program) ***I prefer this one*** or -as you press middle button on mouse, scroll speed depend on distance between center and touch spot Hope you understand what I asked. I'm not good at English. Interesting ideas, not too sure by what you mean with grab and drag (isnt that the same as your first suggestion except not on the edges?) Why can't you just use the ABXY keys to scroll the zoomed screen?

what antivirus software are you using? some of them like norton/pccillin have a built in firewall (try turning off worm protection)

Yes ULTRA is faster than the previous TOO FAST setting which I renamed to FASTER or something... And ignore the TCP hack, I just remembered that Win2DS uses *UDP* port 8888. So my instructions in the readme are WRONG woops =) Should read open UDP port 8888 instead of TCP, and the masscat hack won't make it faster (since it doesnt use TCP for communications) (but the ULTRA setting still will). I'm in the process of rewriting the server from scratch in Delphi, and I'm going to add a movie player option which will allow you to stream videos to your DS (without the audio unfortunately!)

0.80f server - very yummy new icon (thanks TPDK!) client - ULTRA speed option added for the (current) maximum possible frames per second client - applied dswifi hack for faster TCP communications (thanks masscat!) http://rapidshare.de/files/38268453/ds2win.ds.zip.html

LOL well thats your answer right there... try putting in .002 instead =)

ah ok, make sure you are connecting to the right ip address - go to command prompt and type ipconfig

You only have to forward port 8888 on your router if you want to connect from the internet (ie. when you are away from home). If you are on LAN you can just add the exception for 8888 to your windows firewall. You can check your computers ip address by opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig.

can you browse web pages in DSOrganize? another thing to try is downloading the wifi test tool, and making sure you can connect. if either of these fail, then you need to set up your wifi properly - make sure channel is 10 and WPA is NOT turned on. Other things reported to help is limiting the speed to 2mbps on the wireless settings of the router.

not yet unfortunately, until i get around to implementing FAT support

Are you using a wireless router? or do you just have a wireless card in the PC?

I've got a R4DS and it works fine - try going to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall Click on the Exceptions tab, then click Add Port, enter Win2DS for the name, and 8888 for the port then make sure TCP is selected and click OK. Provided your wifi is set up (using DSOrganize or a Nintendo Wifi Connection game) it should work fine.

You will notice the previous version didnt capture windows with semi transparent borders. (If you use WindowBlinds on XP with transparent skins it will looks heaps different) I made a change to the gamepad mode that would hopefully fix the bug you reported, but if it is still there then I guess it isnt fixed yet =) I'll have another look.

Win2DS / DS2Win v0.8e January 3, 2008 ------------------------------------- 0.80e server - increased security (server will require correct password before allowing mouse control) server - Capture alpha blending (transparency) is now an option (will make cursor flicker - no way to avoid this sorry!) client - hold R button and use ABXY to change zoom ratio of zoomed screen client - changed gamepad mode to (hopefully) improve functionality download from: http://rapidshare.de/files/38192437/ds2win.ds.zip.html Note to those asking for audio to be added: I can't do this, but if there's any coders out there who would like to help do it and have the code incorporated, let me know. Actually, if anyone wants to submit any improvements of any kind please let me know!!

I don't actually use the gamepad mode myself at all, so not sure what it was intended to do, apart from being a wireless touchpad for the computer.. I've never even tried setting custom keys for it.. lol Will have to check it out sometime, the code for the gamepad looks pretty simple, I made a few changes to it already to allow key repeating and powering off the screens.

For any other aspiring homebrew developers with a copy of Visual Studio, here's the current source code for version 0.8d. Merry Christmas to everyone at 1Emulation, all the best! http://rapidshare.de/files/38104160/Win2DS...ceCode.zip.html Win2DS_SourceCode.zip

0.80d "the final version before christmas" server - mouse cursor no longer flickers while remote control is active server - zoomed screen now stops at the correct full screen borders when scrolling client - all keys now respond instantly when pressed (previously pressing a key would only sometimes get a reaction) client - zoomed window scroll rate increased client - mouse will now move smoother client - click-drag operations are now possible in zoomed view http://rapidshare.de/files/38104040/ds2win.ds.zip.html

Thanks for the praise guys, its nice to know my hours of hard work is appreciated. For the next updates I'm looking at implementing a dual screen zoomed mode, making zoom percentage configurable possibly, and I'll have a look into FAT support to allow config saving.

Just thought of something.. turn off scanning on .JPG files in your antivirus software - since this program constantly is writing new .JPG files, this will cause a huge performance difference.

Thanks for the detailed analysis, yeah I forgot to mention I'd fixed the gamepad mouse mode. Funny thing, I hadn't even tried out the gamepad functions at all until someone asked me to make changes in that area. Coming in the next version - mouse won't flicker anymore, and eventually I'll get around to making key repeating an option.

Win2DS *Unofficial* v0.8c December 19, 2007 ------------------------------------- Changelog: ---------- 0.80c "the non-CPU pwning version" server - added low quality option for fullscreen to decrease CPU usage on slower systems client - holding L button while zoomed screen is on lower screen will now temporarily disable click to enable quicker scrolling using stylus http://rapidshare.de/files/38083691/ds2win.ds.zip.html

It doesn't need much memory to run, its more CPU intensive, as its taking lots of screenshots of your PC desktop and reducing them, then encoding them as JPEGs. I could put a switch in the server which will allow it to use less CPU time for those of you with older computers, either by not using as high quality resizing or by slowing the refresh rate. What CPU do you have and what speed? (Go to My Computer->Properties or System Information under accessories to find out) Ok my computer is a Dell DIMENSION DIM 2400 Intel ®. Pentium® 4 CPU 2.20 GHz 2.19 GHz, 768 MB or RAM. I hope thats the right information. BTW i am pretty sure that it isn't my firewall becasue i have turned it off and have closed other applications that i have that have shileds or firewalls. I spent a few hours last night working on a few tricks to get it running smoother on slower PCs, I will release another version soon (maybe tonight). Until then you could use one of the earlier 0.80 builds as that will probably run a lot faster on your CPU.

It's harder to click a mouse...(but that may cause ny my CPU) anyway, can you make the mouse on PC not blinking when use Win2DS? and...the key repeater in gamepad mode.... now we're unable to push&hold button. Yeah could be a CPU speed problem - I'll see what I can do though.. you've given me some ideas.. I'll see if I can make key repeating a configurable option in the future

Yea I got that too, when I put the mouse somewhere it just flies somewhere else, drawing a line or something (in Photoshop ). I calibrated my touch screen. I was also wondering, is it possible to make the server send screenshots faster (was trying to display video but it was a bit slow, maybe it isn't possible but it would be cool). I'll have a look into this.. the mouse code *shouldnt* have changed.. but maybe I moved something that affected it.. If you could explain "-not sure but virtual console seem to harder to order PC to do some thing." a bit more too, (give some examples) it would help
