My brothers computer has recently decided that it does not want to send anything to the DS
There was a time when it was working perfectly but then for no apparent reason, the computer still acts as it should, but the ds recieves nothing
I have tried reinstalling the drivers, unzipping the program again, tidying cabling etc incase of interference and checking the antenna for errors
I got it to a stage where the item appears on the menu to be downloaded, but when you choose to begin, the signal strength display drops to zero, turns from red to green and displays "communication error", the DS then returns to the begining searching for broadcasts again
Two DSs will communicate perfectly when nearby - This has been fully tested :)
I was just wondering what you thought the problems could be
Thanks for the help

Try changing wifi channel and if it's a PCI card then change slots.

I thought about trying to change the slots, will try this next time i see him
How would i go about specifying the wifi channel

I managed to get it to work after finding that neither changing the pcislot or specifying a different channel changed anything. The problem was sorted when i discovered that official demos loaded perfectly. I opened an instance of wmb advertising a homebrew game and left it for a while with no luck, I then started another instance of the program advertising wifime while leaving the other open in the background to check that it was recieving wifime still, when i chose to download wifime, the homebrew app downloaded but did not recieve de-auth but the wifime did not download and recieved a deauth.
The homebrew app was loaded through the edited registry from a different location on the same drive and the wifime was loaded through cmd from the data folder. Loading homebrew through cmd from the data folder works flawlessly.

It also works if i run the file using this batch file:
path=C:\DSDev\Tools\rt2560_app_wmb_1_4_beta_1
wmb -data C:\DSDev\...\file.nds
Would there be any reason that it would work like this but not through the registry?

Maybe if something was wrong in the registry entry. Post it here and someone can check.

Ive checked, rewritten it, modified it(along with the locations) and it has also started happening to mine
