DS Misc > Connect DS to laptop

Is it possible to connect a DS directly to a wireless laptop and transfer files from the laptop to the DS without cables.

As laptops are unlikely to have the wireless cards needed for WMB, your main options are DSFTP and Lilou FTP. There's also a few wifiloaders that load games into RAM before execution without writing to the card. You could also use HTTPexec in a pinch if you rename files often.

The programs that dantheman is suggesting are all run through a wireless router, not directly between your DS<->PC. This means you will most likely need to own the wireless router, e.g. not be using free wifi at a cafe.
