Why is there MSN for DS and not an Xfire for the DS, Can some one make an Xfire for the DS plz TY.




P.S I would be cool to make an Xfire for the DS because Almost every one uses it.

the xfire protocol isnt open.

AFAIK there's only one unofficial client, a GAIM plugin, which still didn't work great.

The least you could do is to help find the source code.

lol xfire for ds thats funny although xfire is a pretty good application for keeping track of your game times and talking during games i see no point in porting it to ds.

I would much rather see YIM and Google Talk on ds because a mass of users use it compared to xfires small user data base. Personally I think it would be great if beup joined up together with some other people and made a multi-messenger but still maintain the sleek easy to use interface it already has. Out of all the messengers on ds I've used beup has been the best aim ds is a bit less user friendly but still manageable but that would be great if someone could make a trillion like applicationor at least find a way to combined beup and ds aim into one super messenger and then add in the others. lol
