Stuck?

[Phantom]

How are things going? There has been no news for several days... Did you solve that bit bug?

[sgstair]

Things are well, going.

The bit bug is done with, but lwIP continues to cause no end to pain. My next news post will probably be about dumping lwIP, but not before I have time to work on it again (need another day or maybe 2 to finish a different project)

So, progress is being made... will take just a bit longer yet.

Lo and behold. He dumped IwIP.

Is this other project the GBAdev 2004mbit compo menu/loader?

Good luck writing your own tcp stack, definatly not an easy thing to do

[sgstair]

Jaja: good gues

Yeah, I'm working on finishing up that menu before I do more wifi (and it will be worth it, beleive me.)

@sgstair If you are able to send raw 802.11 traffic but are having problems with the TCP/IP why not release what you have on sending raw 802.11 traffic. You said you intend to use a BSD like license for the final release, releasing part of it now under a BSD licenses doesn't ultimately change anything except help spread knowledge faster.

Ya, but then he wouldn't get the bounty. He is putting a lot of hard work into this and ya, ultimately it's for the community, but it's nice to get rewarded for hard work. Pretty much everyone else already gave up on it. So if it weren't for sgstair, there wouldn't be anything close to what he is gonna release for a while. So if it takes him a bit longer cause he is doing it by himself, no big deal, without him the wait would be longer.

[JaJa]

He 'd get half the bounty.

Because he's figured the registers.

However someone who has experience with TCP/IP stacks could possibly write one faster and steal some of his money.

Sgstair deserves every cent, pence or whatever the currency is.

Software nearly always works better when done entirely by one team or person.

I dont care if it takes another month or two cause i know its gonna be worth the wait!

[alexa999]

I hope its before november so it comes out before the big N's wifi. If hes not done by then, the nintendo wifi will be hacked to do the same things.

[JaJa]

Or not.

Homebrew couldn't use a "hacked" nintendo wifi connection, because they wouldn't know what code to put in.

Is there a possibility that someone could look at some of the files in the mario kart rom? Not sure if it is encrypted or not.

[JaJa]

Yes of course, why didn't anyone else think of that?

Because we need source to integrate into homebrew, not an arm binary.

We also need headers, and the TCP/IP stack.

But if anyone is good enough to look at the binaries for mario kart and turn them into source that can be used by anyone then by all means, do it

I sense a bit of sarcasm in your reply. I was just wondering, I mean that guy hacked the ipod by listening to the click of the hard drive so I just thought that maybe someone would be able to get something out of Mario Kart be it from the rom or capturing packets to see what it's doing.

Yes of course, why didn't anyone else think of that?

Because we need source to integrate into homebrew, not an arm binary.

We also need headers, and the TCI/IP stack.

Of course we need source, but ever heard of reverse engineering? It's easier if you actually have something that uses the features you want to analyze. Having a wireless online game will not be the solution, but will probably make it much easier for everybody to see how to set up the wireless, which register to use, etc. by analysing the binary itself!

The work sgstair is doing is I think much harder.

Otherwise why he is not releasing any binary prerelease if they are useless for the "competition"?

 

I am quite confident a game dump will be useful to him and possibly others...
