Direct DS->DS comms?

[Pete]

Would I be right to guess that to communicate directly between two (or more) DS units I'll either need to have one of them pretend to be an Access Point in software or alternatively use the Wifi_*Raw* functions?

Or is there another way? All I've been able to pick up so far seems to deal with using an existing Access Point.

Would anyone happen to know of some existing homebrew sample code that does what I'm looking for (I don't care which approach it uses if it works)?

you should check out ds2ds, i think that its the only ds homebrew to support direct ds2ds communication.

i don't think the source is available but you could try contacting the creator.... (if you speak french! mwahaha, {i don't})

p.s this post might not help you, but at least its a reply

I can speak a little French

But I've since worked it out for myself. Works beautifully

[opearn]

wow. can you please release some code to show others [me] how to do direct ds to ds communication?

[Pete]

removed: stop pointing people to this crap

Specifically page 2 for the code.

[opearn]

thank you.

perhaps you could get it working with standard libraries?

eg main.cpp

Code: Select all

#include <nds.h>
int ds2ds(u16 datalen, u16 rate, u16 * data) {
//code edited so it works
}
void Handler(int packetID, int readlength){}
int main{//cbs}
int main

[Pete]

Maybe, but I'm too lazy to bother working out what would need to be included into my project to do it

This way works, building the Wifi library is trivial, and maybe one day someone will do it properly and I won't need my hack.

Wow, please let me know when this is improved. Thanks!
