DS Misc > Need help with Wi-Fi Me using a Linksys WUSB54G USB Adapter

#164588 - g14 - Sat Nov 08, 2008 10:09 pm

The drivers tried never worked with Device Manager...I've downgraded from Vista for this, and it's not working, therefore, I am upset.

Can anyone help?

If need be, message me on MSN, and I can give you my "LogMeIn" account info, so you can remote-desktop my computer.

OS: Windows XP Professional Sp2 [I think, dunno if Sp3 installed itself yet.]


[Edit:]
I'm into Wi-Fi Me for the Flashing, [get rid of Health screen, woo.] and also, I have a stuck pixel, pinkish-magenta-ish color, Wonder if there's any Homebrew to get rid of it, or if it's possible to get rid of it with flickering colors...

WMB on Windows can't be done with USB adapters. You need a chipset on this list for WMB.

WMB?

Also, from that list, in the Linksys section:

Linksys
WMP54G v4 *
WUSB54G v4 *
WUSB54GP v4 *

WMB means Wireless Multi-Boot. Aka DS Download Play. USB adapters will not work with WMB, including the adapters on that list.(Timing issues. )

Damn...Is there anything I can do with this adapter, then? :P

You might be able to use it in Linux to send official demos to your DS but that is complicated to setup and no guarantee that it will be compatible with your card.

You might be able to use a SoftAP in Windows so you can play multiplayer DS games but most Windows SoftAP software is flaky and you'd be better off with a real wireless AP/router.

Just buy a slot-1 flashcard, you can get one for less than $20 now.
