  1. It's always good to remember those who started all this. Emulation isn't just about emulating retrogames, it's imho also about the community, the ones that play all the games and share their passion with others. It would be a lonely world for some of us without all those emulator developers out there and some, new to retro/classic games, wouldn't have the chance to play all those classics. I really appreciate the work they do, be it a whole emulator or just a plugin.
  2. 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.
  3. I'll give it a try when I get home, I currently have a running ubuntu machine but my debian server should do.

    I'll upload them to the ds2key site when i get them from bagster.

    DS2Key 0.4

    Do you have the pc ds2key software up running properly? If yes, check if you have the same port for the software and the ds side and keep in mind that the ip for pc and ds need to be different. If your pc has something like 192.168.1.1 then just use something like 192.168.1.101 for the ds.
  6. I have that problem too, but it's a problem coming from win98 itself. At first I thought it was due to the old direct x version, but a new version doesn't change anything. The buttons do work, though. But if you hold down a button only a keypress event will be received. We can't do anything for now. But there may be still one way to do it, but don't expect it to work for the next time.
  7. The design looks, got something new and fresh to it. The new logo is perfect, very good job overall. Well the toolbar in the textareas is a little bright (in comoparison to the overall design).
  8. Well how to do it depends on what router you use. Do you know where you put in the WEP key? Put the key in again and after that the router shows the hexcode. If you don't know how to do that look it up in the instructions, or post here what router you use.
  9. I didn't try to convince you to use perl (I don't see any good reason to not have a C based server around). What I meant was exactly that, Perl is 'portable' (well platform independent) and easy to customize at the same time. Perl is not that hard to learn, even for beginners, so almost everybody could add feature they need/like to the sevrer easily (if they really want to). One page or so to describe the use of xds2key could be helpful to some of the users, if I get some free time I could add it (some information and instructions).
  10. You're right it's XTEST not xtest and I meant the X11 extension XTEST (the one that handles the XTEST protocol). But you're right you need a the XTEST CPAN module for that (couldn't think of any other portable way, too). But perl still could be a good way to make it platform independent (even for Windows there is a GuiTest module that is used in a similar way). I will work on a perl script, may be some users use it as template and customize it to their own needs. No problem. sypherce mentioned he already talked to you. You can have a own section on the ds2key website if you want (I don't think sypherce has anything against that).
  11. Use the hexcode of the WEP key (most routers show the hex value for the key in the control panel).
  12. I planned to make one in perl (a script controlling xtest). I didn't have the time to test your server, but I will do if I get the time. Is your server an 'interactive' app or a deamon? I thought about releasing my server in two version (deamon and user version). Maybe we can share some ideas, do you an msn messenger account or any other messenger? Send me a pm if you have time.

    DS2Key 0.4

    Thanks for the polite response. I should have already mentioned, but I tried this with a 64kb.sav file and it's still not loading my settings on startup. The files are named DS2Key.sc.nds and DS2Key.sc.sav <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Make sure that both files are in the same folder, if their named as you mentioned there shouldn't be a problem (it's case sensitive btw.). You to turn off and on the ds quickly after setting up and saving the WiFi data, the save should be still in the sram of the sc now. Go to the tab named "SAVER" select the DS2Key.sc.sav, Press A and then again for saving the sram into the file. Now as long the.sav file is in the same directory and is named right the sc loads the data into the sram automatically. I'm not sure if that still works for the latest release, I just remembered that it writes the save into the FAT system (which works only for CF media right know due to the used version of the CF driver). the 0.3 does for sure, so may be you should use that version.

    DS2Key 0.4

    It's in the readme (afaik), you need to switch you ds off and on (quick), and then go to "Save", and select the DS2Key.sav (if any, if you don't have one you need an 64kb file with nothing in it (I'm not sure if it is 64kb but I'll make sure when I'm home), the file must have the same name as the DS2Key binary except for the extension (DS2Key.nds -> DS2Key.sav, DS2Key.ds.gba -> DS2Key.ds.sav, but I'm pretty sure you use something like DS2Key.sc.nds -> DS2Key.sc.sav). Just put this file in the same directory where the binary is.

    Help, please

    He meant, of course, DS2Key itself.
  16. Never works? You mean the DS can't connect? I haven't tested it with the recent version, I'll try later this day. I tried it with the first server version (the one without GUI), and itr works. The problem of the recent version could be the auto server detecting feature of DS2Key. Multiple DS use with the server is already on the upcoming feature list.
  17. Don't be confused with something like that. DS2Key has a built in Wardriving program. With that you can find ap's, but you can only find them, that's what you can do with every wifi card for a pc. The many purpose of ds2key is still using the ds as gamepad for pc.
  18. Yep that's true, the network card just ignores data for any IP except for the IP the PC is set to. That's different for a UDP broadcast though, it sends data to a range of IP's (that's the way ds2key finds the server).

    DS2Key 0.4

    No problem, just post some infos on what and how you did try to connect. What IP adresses you use, wether you use special features (like wep, wep doesn't work at the moment). Have you started the sever app on your pc? Did you change the port? If you did did you change it on both sides (ds and pc)?

    DS2Key 0.4

    Me nor Sypherce could detect any delay in the use of 0.4. I played Stepmania with it for several hours, and the button detection was as perfect as it's always been. Perhaps it is your computer or router? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same with me, I couldn't detect any delay. Maybe you did use different configs for 0.3 and 0.4? Maybe a different port or something.
  21. You could look for a cheap pcmcia wifi card that is on that list. If you can find out what chip it uses (broadcom is afaik only the company and I don't think they have a softap driver for it). If you find out what chip it use then post it here maybe someone knows about a soft ap driver by an other company.
  22. If you router blocks the port it only blocks it if the conection is from the internet not from a local machine/device. Maybe a firewall is active on your pc, if you have win xp make sure the win xp firewall is disabled (or the port is open.)
  23. That depends on what chip you have, if there is a driver somewhere that supports soft ap mode and that is for the same chip your laptop has, then you could just that driver. I assume it is an onboard chip, right? If not is it on this list: http://ralink.rapla.net/ ? If it is try this: http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/Ralink_niwifi.
  24. DS2Key (sypherce) will get WEP support as soon as the new lib is out. WEP is decryption of the Connection, wether you can connect to your Laptop or not depends on the Wifi card, if the Wifi card supports Soft AP mode you can. If it doesn't have a native support. If you're lucky and your card is on this list: http://ralink.rapla.net/ then try this: http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/Ralink_niwifi.
