DS Misc > DS WiFi Almost Cracked!

#54344 - cybereality - Sun Sep 18, 2005 3:40 pm

Found an interview with Sgstair. Evidently he is pretty close to getting WiFi on DS working and seems like he should be finished soon. This has been on the net for a week, I'm surprised no one has posted anything.

Check out the interview here:

I wonder... is there enough free space in the firmware to allow for the TCP/IP stack and booting from an HTTP or SMB source so that you don't need a Ralink PCI card and Windows OS every time you want to WMB?

I would much rather see wireless multiplayer, streaming video/audio, mp3 streaming and possibly a WMB transfer app. ( to be able to send apps to others from the DS itself) than a half @$$ed web browser.

#54500 - El Hobito - Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:39 am

yeah, i was trying to look up the skype api for it, looks like it would be a good start (techinically you could just use it for im and the voice could be implemented later)

I just hope that DS Applications that will use Wi-Fi will be able to connect easily to people using things like Belkin USB Wi-Fi adaptors without having to tweak settings to get it to notice the DS exists..

#54824 - TheChuckster - Thu Sep 22, 2005 9:46 pm

As long as a device is 802.11 compatible, it will work with the DS hacked wifi. Though just not with non-802.11 hacks like WMB and WifiMe unless its RT25x0.

Not sure? you would think the DS wouldnt have any problem sending data from one to another. Doesnt the DS sign the code??? ( like when it sends a multiplayer copy to another DS....Mario 64DS for example)

Ninendo showed a demo at the E3 which was exactly that. I cannot remember what it was called, but users were able to use the demo DSs like an IM client with voice over IP. Supposedly this isn't coming out, only an internal test demo. The prez of Nintendo said they decided against voice chat in games because they wanted to prevent any "forward content" which I assume means people cursing in games, etc. But the technology exists, so we know it can work.

i recon the best way to do this would be to port skype, i believe you can download the api for it and theres loads of documentation for it hell, someone should get a team together and make it an official one that would kick ass!

skype? nah. The best app to port would be an open source one, some sort of SIP and IAX client. Skype is closed source, and now its owned by ebay, I doubt its going to improve a huge amount. You would also need to talk to skype, as theres no info on the voice encryption/codec side, so no ports to anything is possible (AFAIK)

It could be possible to use it with dslinux but then it would probably take up too much memory. I might try contacting them to see whether it might be possible to do an official version of it on the ds. The problem with using another opensource version is that no-one uses them which would be fine for talking to people on gbadev but you wont be able to talk to your friends. I think it would be better to get simple IM going first before we even think of voice.

If you could get some sort of VNC and remote microphone software running, either natively or on DSLinux, then you may be able to run skype on a normal x86 Linux/Windows PC and dial using VNC, and speak using the mic etc, but that would probably have more lag, and would require access to a PC with a VNC server (and if it wasn't in a local network, forwarded ports etc)

Too bad noone captured the DSpeak demo, then we could be using VoIP right now.

That demo was not being transmitted by a DS Download Station, as far as I know. Those are the only demos that can be captured, and I think all of those were captured. (Unless by "captured" you meant "broke the DS restraining fixture, stole the DS cart, reverse engineered the code, and shared the results." If that's what you meant, then I agree and wish someone "captured" it).

#54998 - headspin - Sat Sep 24, 2005 10:02 am

Ok, I wasn't sure if it was a multiboot demo sent over wireless or not. But why would you have to reverse engineer it? If you got your hands on the cart then why not just dump it? And as for the DS restraining fixture.. ever heard of a crowbar ;) j/k

I was reading through a load of the jabber protocol yesterday and it seems fairly straight forward and there are loads of existing project going that could most probably ported/based upon. It basically uses xml as a framework for sending messages which is quite genius really. The problem with msn is that voip is essentially broken which is a bit of an arse really.

how does wifi doomds sound? or some coop play in dsheretic or hexen, instant messaging, irc client, you could even use it as a thin client try stream music from you pc to it, multiplayer pocketnesDS/snesDS etc. loads of possibilities

That would require emulating the entire GBA, which more than likely can't be done in real time.

I'd suggest getting a dual GB (mono) emulator working first, and then have two copies of the emulator running on different DS units synchronize their controller data over Wi-Fi.

So, wouldn't that be using the DS like a media box? You know, one of those things that takes music or movies from your hard drive and transefers them to some other media device(s). Could the DS even do that?

Why not? My N?Gage can get streamed video from my PC via BlueTooth, which has a very low bandwith. What could DS do with 802.11b WiFi (11Mbps)?

Just imagine. Streaming your music/videos/TV signal from your computer to your NintendoDS to anywhere in your home or office at a decent quality! Of course it would take some time to develop but is perfectly feasible.

Nintendo DS implementation of 802.11b is limited to 2 Mbps, and after overhead you can probably squeeze only 1.2 Mbps, but that's still good enough for MPEG-1 video provided the ARM9 is up to the task.

#55252 - headspin - Tue Sep 27, 2005 1:46 am

mac address whitelisting dosn't prevent mac address spoofing. In fact it is a rather lame form of security. It needs to be used in conjuction with other security features in order to be effective.

That is, unless the official Wi-Fi library does only WEP. Licensees can't make their own Wi-Fi engines because they have to use Nin?endo's own ARM7 binaries.

Erm, I think you misunderstood my point. How does the official Wi-Fi library stop someone from doing a homebrewn implementation of WPA? Unless the 802.11b implementation is all done in hardware, I dont see why WPA can't be added in the software side if someone writes it.
I dont think my wireless router magically had WPA support built in that was suddenly enabled with a firmware upgrade a year after it came out.

Anyway, a quick search on google turned up this page:
http://www.open1x.org/
Aside from the OpenSSL stuff, which I didn't dare to look at, their WPA code looks pretty clean and straightforward. (Although I did only look at the WPA stuff, and I really don't have any experience with the implementation of 802.11 at all.)

I'm not saying that someone should implement WPA, I'm just saying that it looks quite possible to do, and that the DS would support more than just WEP if someone implemented it, which was what I was replying to. Unless the RSA stuff in the DS is used for WEP, then WPA shouldn't be that much more of a hit on processor time than WEP.

#55300 - MrAdults - Tue Sep 27, 2005 4:24 pm

It only makes sense to include WEP and WPA support as part of the homebrew standard. Because, well, why not? Having to kick my wireless security in the ribs whenever I want to connect my PSP has proven to be a significant pain (which could be fixed by upgrading my firmware, but we all know the reasons for not doing that).

So far it's only been used to corrupt the menu display, but it holds great promise for running homebrew code on upgraded PSPs." From the article: "Thanks to the unknown author(s) for this great starting point to have homebrew on 2.0, all that is needed are coders to extend this knowledge for full homebrew usage on the v2.0 firmware. We cannot say when someone will step up to the plate and write the code for users to run homebrew on a 2.0 using this exploit, but we will definitely have our ears (and email boxes) open and be sure to let you know as soon as we do."

#55391 - LunarCrisis - Wed Sep 28, 2005 5:37 am

Many streams use the MP3 format, so if the DS is technically capable of playing MP3 files, there is no reason it shouldn't be able to stream them. The only difference (unless I'm mistaken) is that you are getting the source data from the internet instead of the CF card. It isn't like you have to have the whole song in memory at the same time, that's why it's called streaming.

#55395 - TheMikaus - Wed Sep 28, 2005 6:08 am

is the wifi on the ds slower than cart transfer? if is that might prevent direct streaming. Maybe buffered streaming and that would add the overhead of buffering it (which I don't think would be very much, especially if some sort of circular queue was used for the buffer)

#55397 - tepples - Wed Sep 28, 2005 6:15 am

Nintendo DS Wi-Fi runs at 2000 kbps. MP3 or GSM at 120 kbps shouldn't eat more than a fraction of that.

Isn't it "streamed" off the Compact Flash card anyway? When I pull the GBAMP out of the DS while it's playing back an MP3, it skips like a broken record.. it just reads what's in it's buffer correct? Why can't it simply change the source.. So yeah, really..streaming from the Internet shouldn't be that big a deal.

#55419 - El Hobito - Wed Sep 28, 2005 12:19 pm

it only needs to download data at the bit rate so streaming a 128Kb/s stream means that the wifi needs to download at a rate of 16KB per second which is feck all

#55424 - Sebbo - Wed Sep 28, 2005 1:36 pm

unless your on dialup :-( ahh well, looks like my parents will b splitting by the time NWC launches so i'll have adsl by then

i'm sure video streaming wouldn't be too far off either, just need to find free versions of <insert favourite video codec>

You might need to wait for ItsaMe, given that so many new DS units have the "red" firmware. Besides, even for non-"red" firmware, wouldn't a PassMe adapter, a Meteos game card, and a GBA Movie Player be smaller than a whole DS?

eek that sounds very dodgy, what if a program said it was initialising a "file transfer" but in reality was running some kindof brickme program.

The RSA signature check will reject wifi-brickme unless the unit in question is already flashed, in which case you can probably just emergency-boot a GBAMP and reinstall FlashMe.

Lemme rephrase my idea......A semi-bricked DS that only runs the bricking program when it starts up, but can't run anything else.
Anyway, tepples' explanation tells how it wouldn't be very effective, so forget that concept entirely.

I was actually replying to tepples on the previous page (4) in regards to streaming MPG. I don't think the RAM could handle a player AND the file buffer. Not saying it isn't doable, it just wouldn't be all that great. I have NO doubt that wireless sound streams would be fine, though.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, I have a habit of missing the last page of a thread unless I look for it specifically, and I forgot to quote.

FWIW: That's the downside of offering a "bounty"
People don't share their work. If it has to be done well enough to win the bounty before anything is released - we wait longer.

If there were no bounty, other people could help out on the missing pieces long before it is finished.

we will have to wait and see, it just funny that we have been through this before and it never has a god ending. I could easily post updates on a site and just add a new task every other week..

I don't think the video will do much to keep the doubters at bay.

After all, nothing (that I can see) in the video actually proves it is connecting to the AP. That entire interface would be made up, all static text and values in a program.

Not that I am doubting the project in the least, I am just pointing out that until there is a finished release, people will always find something to complain about.

Even so, it would be a heck of a lot of work to make something like this if I didn't actually have it working ;)

By the way, thank you for having a nice normal DivX up there as well. It never ceases to amaze me how 99% of the videos people put up are WMV. God forbid anyone use open formats.

#58379 - sgstair - Sun Oct 23, 2005 12:40 am

Well, I figured it might be useful to have the DivX there as well as WMV.

However, I don't think DivX qualifies as an "open" format - though less restrictive than WMV for sure.

The biggest problem with open formats (say ogm, or XviD) is they're not always widely adopted by the public, whereas most computers are guaranteed to be able to play WMV, and the rest should be able to manage DivX or some other variant.

I think it's because Windows Movie Maker, which comes with Microsoft Windows, uses WMV as its native file format.

Thats like Will Smith saying he dont want pictures taken of him, or people asking him for his auto \graph.

anyways, I wish you luck and hope it all works well. just remember, Nintendo WiFi Connection will be available in the near future.

You shouldn't invest your time in aguements, because they can have the unfortunate effect on you to lose your interest in this project (although I don't think this will happen with you).
Although, I understand it isn't very nice to see people not believe something you have been working on for a couple of weeks!

Rudimentary IP layer has been created... so now just TCP is required to make a proper demo. Should be soon. (Yes, I know I could just as easily demo with UDP or whatnot, but I'm committed to bringing TCP, mainly because I remember the gamecube situation where for the longest time the only public code was UDP without ARP.)
Maybe it should be noted that the percentages on my list are to initial completion, until I have something to show for it.
I will very likely make the source code public on initial release, but please stay tuned as I'm not going to drop this project and will release a much more polished version not much later.

Awesome.

TBH Wifi access will make the DS so much more useful and attractive.
You could use it for chatting, looking stuff up or the thing im most interested in, remote monitoring.
I would like a GiFt GUI on the DS so i can keep an eye on my daemon.
Also things like kismet would be nice.
It would make the DS a cheap monitoring/control solution for PC's (VNC).
Often im in my lounge and want to know what my GiFt daemon is doing, but i have to go upstairs. Streaming music would be nice too (although i use moonshell)
These are just a few ideas, i think you lot of imaginative people could think of a few more..

Oh, Sgstair has released a firmware viewer on the misc section of his site.

You could... but it's not quite the same as a remote control for playing back a library of a couple of thousand losslessly encoded songs through a decent hi-fi :)

I've been having a play with the iTunes SDK, and it seems a bit slow to iterate through the music database, but other than that, it looks quite do-able... (iTunes seems preferable to Winamp at the moment, as it has a clearly defined database of music, whereas Winamp just takes arbitrary files)

Could you also make DS connect to Windows' Shared folders or set CF as a shared folder? Anyway, FTP is enough.

"It would be cool to be able to flash flash carts via WLAN"

That would be difficult because all flash carts are different.

"Could you also make DS connect to Windows' Shared folders or set CF as a shared folder? Anyway, FTP is enough."

An SMB browser would be cool.
Practically all OS's support SMB.

@JaJa: Yeah, but if someone develops one for, let's say F2A (because I have one ;-) ), F2A owners can use it, so why not? ^^

Because you need FAT which F2A doesn't have IIRC.
And to find somebody programming spefically for one type of FlashCart... I could hardly believe that.

Unless someone writes a wrapper around (say) GBFS, with the same API as chishm's FAT driver.

Even the NES supports SMB :-)

That's why I call microsoft's file sharing protocol "cifs" instead. The abbreviation isn't as overloaded.

Maybe the developers of if2a like to do that?
Flash Manager supports F2A too.

But my question wasn't if someone likes to do it but if it is possible ;)
I mean: How to begin? Sending a file via WMB, but is the DS able to connect to a WLAN card with Wifime driver installed? Or you have to flash something like a loader onto your card that starts and supports connecting with a "normal" WLAN network.

I'm lazy so I'll ask...
Has someone translated that huge initialization pseudo code into working C?

I'd like to play with raw network frames.

I've broken my remote which I've been using to control winamp with this last year or so while watching tv (playing videos)...

With remote winamp control, it wouldn't matter! :D
I could take a leak whenever I wanted!

Yeah I did some Python Programming with iTunes, too. AS you said it's a bit slow to alter Library Data of 20 GByte of MP3's. But simple navigation and information displaying are more than easy to do.
Now doing it on the DS is another problem...

#61937 - bluescrn - Fri Nov 25, 2005 4:03 pm

I was making some good progress with it:

www.bluescrn.net/dualtunes.jpg

But it's on hold at the moment - I started it when it seemed that TCP/IP enabled homebrew was just a few days away... But without that, I feel like I'm wasting my time

(...although now I'm just wasting my time on WoW and TH:AS instead!)

It's a nifty DS equivalent to NetStumbler. I've actually been waiting for something like this.

#62585 - tepples - Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:27 pm

We need some sort of adjective that starts with D so that we can have a name like D___Stumbler with the proper acronym (like Dual Strike, Drill Spirits, Dawn of Sorrow, etc).

Dual Stumbler! Data stumbler (good one sleeper), Digital Stumbler....I really can't think, data stumblers got my vote so far

Sure, why not. I'll bet far more progress has been made in the DS homebrew scene than the PSP one anyway, despite the hurdles that using nonstandard media entails.

Besides, the DS was over $100 cheaper. If I hadn't already wanted it for Animal Crossing, I would have chosen it over the PSP for that reason alone.

Ok, how about Domain Scanner? It's kinda meaningless, but it sounds good.

#62661 - Darkflame - Sun Dec 04, 2005 2:35 am

Domination Signaler ?

Doomsday Scanner?

dual seeker sounds good....or dual stumbler. It doesn't have two things that do the stumbling though, so it doesn't make that much sense. I don't think it matters what it's called...just call it DStumbler.

New update :D

Quote:
December 11, 2005: Stuff! (4am)

Again a binary update (version 0.2 [wifi_lib_test.nds]) (Additionally, you can download a program to test UDP with, [udp_Test.zip] - program listens on port 8888 and responds to incoming datagrams.) (Additionally, source for the udp_test program that should be able to be compiled on linux/unix/macosx systems is available here too: [udp_test.c])
I will now privately release a compiled version of the lib, and the source of the test project to people who can use them. Reason for the private release is that not everything is done yet.
Things that are done and working nicely are: AP listing, association, and UDP...
Things that are not complete and are still being worked on are: IP fragmentation, TCP, DNS, and DHCP
If you *still* want a copy of the lib binary and test project source, let me know on IRC, or send me an email. This is NOT for everyone, and I will not be providing tech support on this release. The test project is very much geared towards development, you will have to modify bits of the makefile to make it work on your machine (paths & lib inclusion mainly). So, use at your own risk of misunderstanding. I think it's pretty clear, but that's just me.
And yes, progress is moving pretty slowly at the moment... This is due to several factors, not the least of which is that I have a real job now (AC:WW is also in that list tho..).
