Win2DS *Unofficial* v0.8b December 17, 2007 ------------------------------------- Changelog: ---------- 0.80b "the non-battery pwning version" server - disabling sending of screens if nothing has changed (will increase battery life significantly, and may increase performance) client - keys now repeat when held down in gamepad mode client - screens power down when lid is closed client - screens power down when in gamepad mode keyboard - all keys now work correctly when shift or caps lock is on http://rapidshare.de/files/38068327/ds2win.ds.zip.html

Thanks for letting me know, I've actually already fixed this in the latest version, keep your eye out for the update to be released tonight.

I've got a NDS Lite with R4DS - firmware 1.13 and it works perfectly on mine?!? Does it load up ok? If you have a problem connecting its probably a firewall issue. And for the person who was asking about memory pak support, at the moment I won't be able to support memory paks cos I don't have one, but I may be able to get a performance boost without requiring a memory pak (with a lot more coding). To the person complaining about the 5min lag and client timeout, I've identified this problem and I think I've solved it, only testing time will tell =) New version out soon (maybe tonight) with better power management and better server stability, much much lower bandwidth usage (it won't send duplicate screens any more).

will put it my to-do list, can't promise you anything, but will see what I can do! =)

Win2DS *Unofficial* v0.8a Release by MonkeyNZ December 14, 2007 ------------------------------------- Here's an early christmas present, will be releasing the code once I've made a few more changes and cleaned it up a bit. This is an unofficial build of the Win2DS client and server, both the client and server have been updated with new code to enhance the speed and quality of the service. Changelog: --------- Win2DS 0.8a client - allow touch with the pen in zoom screen to click mouse client - holding L and using ABXY will now use cursor keys server - all the different mouse pointers (caret, resize, etc) now display correctly on the DS Win2DS 0.8 client - updated code to compile with devkitpro r21 and dswifi 0.3.4 client - optimised wifi code to greatly speed up throughput client - can move zoom screen with keyboard active keyboard - exit key now works correctly keyboard - lower screen updates disabled to enhance keyboard responsiveness server - mouse control now works perfectly with zoomed screen server/client - increased accuracy of touch screen aligning with mouse pointer server - changed scaling algorithm to halftone colors for much higher quality fullscreen image Wifi Hints: ---------- Dont use channels 0 or 1 as the wifi libraries have a weird bug which doesn't let these channels work (I'd suggest channel 10) Disclaimer: ---------- Feel free to distribute this release in whatever ways you wish, so long as proper credit is given to everyone involved.

Win2DS / DS2Win v0.80f January 11, 2008 ------------------------------------- This is an unofficial build of the Win2DS client and server, both the client and server have been updated with new code to enhance the speed and quality of the service. Changelog: ---------- 0.80f "ultra-licious" 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!) 0.80e "revenge of the zoom" 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 0.80d "attack of the keys" 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 0.80c "the phantom CPU minutes" 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 allow enable quicker scrolling using stylus 0.80b "return of the battery" server - disabling sending of screens if nothing has changed (will increase battery life/performance significantly) client - keys now repeat when held down in gamepad mode client - screens power down when lid is closed client - screens power down when in gamepad mode keyboard - all keys now work correctly when shift or caps lock is on 0.80a "inputs strike back" client - allow touch with the pen in zoom screen to click mouse client - holding L and using ABXY will now use cursor keys server - all the different mouse pointers (caret, resize, etc) now display correctly on the DS 0.80 "a new code" client - optimised wifi code to greatly speed up throughput client - move zoom screen with keyboard active keyboard - exit key now works correctly keyboard - lower screen updates disabled to enhance keyboard responsiveness server - mouse control now works perfectly with zoomed screen server/client - increased accuracy of touch screen aligning with mouse pointer server - changed scaling algorithm to halftone colors for much higher quality fullscreen image Getting it working: ------------------- Dont use channels 0 or 1 as the wifi libraries have a weird bug which doesn't let these channels work. (I use channel 10) Also make sure port 8888 is open on your firewall (windows firewall and on your router if you are accessing it remotely through the internet) Go 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. Find your computers ip address by starting a command prompt and typing ipconfig Provided your wifi is set up (using DSOrganize or a Nintendo Wifi Connection game) it should work fine with Auto Connect, just type in the ip address you saw in ipconfig (ie. for 192.168.0.1 key in 192.168.000.001) *** Important Note *** Turn off scanning of the extension ".JPG" in your antivirus software - this program is constantly writing new .JPG files to send to the DS, this will speed up performance huge-mongously (I hope I spelled that right). *** Note for people with slow CPUs *** - the faster refresh rate you set for the part (and particularly full screen view) the more CPU power is taken up. So the new ULTRA mode may use up a lot of cpu cycles and should only be attempted by professionals. Instructions: ------------- Once you have connected you can use the following keys: - hold R button and use ABXY to change zoom ratio of zoomed screen - hold L button and use ABXY to send cursor keys of keyboard - hold L button and use stylus to change zoomed area focus - Thumbpad - left to left mouse click (hold to drag) - up to middle mouse click (hold to drag) - right to right mouse click (hold to drag) - down to send backspace - ABXY move zoomed screen - START opens menu - SELECT opens keyboard Disclaimer / Licensing Agreement: --------------------------------- Feel free to distribute this release, so long as proper credit are given to everyone involved. Neither Bill nor me are responsible should you accidentally/purposely use this to delete the interweb (or whatever else you do with this program) in fact should anything happen, I'd probably blame Steve Jobs.

If you are interested in DS development and want to help develop this project please send me a PM on 1Emulation. For another great desktop control homebrew project check out DSVNC, the latest version is 0.3e and its available from the NeoFlash forums (signup required). Its zoom-screen scrolling is a little faster than Win2DS but the screen updates are tons slower, worth a look though!

I've recompiled with the very latest devkitpro r21 and dswifi 0.3.4 I've also made some optimizations which speed it up a lot, the mouse moves smoothly for me now, and screen updates are very fast 0.25 seconds on zoomed mode with full screen set off, or reasonably fast if full screen is enabled. The initial menu also now displays on the bottom screen as it should. A bit of advice to anyone who tries setting up with wireless on any older apps (and possibly this one) - DONT USE CHANNEL 0 or 1, make sure you set your channel to something like 10.. took me ages to figure this one out. (Older versions of dswifi had a bug when trying to set the channel to 0 or 1). If anyone wants to try it out, you can download it from http://rapidshare.de/files/37941108/ds2win.ds.zip.html
