DS Flash Equipment > problems with WMB

#51758 - nintyjim - Tue Aug 23, 2005 10:34 am

My Wmb wont run. I followed all the steps in this tutorial: http://www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime.php

Whenever I click on WMB.exe the program runs for half a second before the window dissapears, then nothing happens. Whats wrong?

thankyou

Edit: There is a second question further down!

Start it via command line or use WMB 1.1

It wont run if you just click on it, you have to tell it which nds program you want it to upload.

Ive done that now. The DS gets the signal and starts playing but as soon as I get to the first screen it freezes. The statistics that your ment to see on the PC never show up. It seems that the wbm stops running.

P.S. I am doing it via command prompt and using the WifiMe method.

How do I fix this problem

What are you trying to do?

Run a nds homebrew multiboot file?

Load a ds.gba file on your flashcard using wifime?

#51904 - nintyjim - Wed Aug 24, 2005 1:55 pm

The second one.

No, this is very wrong.

The WMB program is more than capable of loading WiFiMe, which will tell the DS to execute its code from the GBA slot.

could you post some screen dumps, or tell us your commands that you are using and explain exactly what is happening step by step.

I start it via command prompt: ... wmb.exe -data wifime-1 it loads but then cuts out after saying "recieved de-authentication". On the DS it shows the very first screen but doesnt respond to any action.

the very first screen?

what does it do and what is it meant to do?

I got it working with WMB 1.1! Will this play the same amount of games as the latest version? What are the disadvantages?
