It seemed like such an obvious thing to write once the TCP networking support was out ... so, here:
http://www.sylphds.net/ev2/contentview.php?id=401

Things that work:
-Connects via DS WFC preferences (only...)
-Connect to specified server
-Join/part channels
-Send messages to channels (kind of required...)
-Change nick
-Track users in channels (joins, parts, nick changes, ...)
-CTCP ACTIONs (/me)
-Quit (...)
-Onscreen keyboard for entry

Things that probably don't work:
-Privmsg to other users: you may be able to reply but they have to initiate the conversation

Things that don't work:
-Everything else

Comments/bug reports/etc welcome, although bear in mind that since most stuff isn't implemented I already know about that sort of thing... ;)

just tried it, seem great.. however, when I press join, it hangs =(

Hmm. It suddenly occurs to me that how to use it isn't that obvious if you haven't been connecting the damn thing hundreds of times while debugging it.

1) Boot the NDS
2) Enter a server name using the keyboard - there's one filled in that will almost certainly not work on your network ;) erase it with backspace. Hit enter/return when done.
3) Enter a nick. Hit enter/return when done.

Hopefully it will be connecting now: it may take a while, but once the server finishes sending you sign up messages, press Join, type in a channel name (#whatever), then enter/return to complete again.

Once you're in channels, shoulder buttons to switch between them. Probably have to use them even to get to the channel once you've joined it, anyway.

nice!, offtopic: hows the ff7 thingy engine going...

nice. I've been waiting for this for a while.
So many people were saying "I've got an IRC client just waiting for the wifilib to get TCP working".

Anyway, shame it doesn't work for me (it's a wifilib problem, this new version doesn't like my router, never authenticates).

Keep up the good work (and how is that FF7 engine going? I keep checking your site)

Using a Supercard SD. Got it working, but I never get the welcome message when I join a server (using irc.rizon.net) and when I hit join and type a channel, it freezes. Above it still says <nicks> and below still says <chans>. If soneone gets it to work, share the server you connected to.

I'm sitting in #sylphirc on irc.rizon.net right now fine with the DS. Once you've chosen server & nick, use the shoulder buttons to flip between windows; you should get some messages. If not, either the network is down or you've got the server address wrong.

I don't know what happened different, but I joined and sent you a message, don't know if you got it. Held a convo with a friend but they kept going afk so I couldn't test it out too much.

I just joined that same channel and it worked fine. The on-screen keyboard is a bitch to type on, though.

Awesome :)

I like it a lot, it's nice and handy. Connects to my router perfectly, but here is my request.
First of all, are you using the latest touch screen code? I think there was an update recently (maybe a month ago?) that had a updated touch screen code that tended to work better with the weird DSes that had problems. I try to touch "n" and it types "f" (for some strange reason). This makes it extremely hard to...chat. If you could try to find the latest touch screen code and use that that would be great, as apps that have used the latest have been responding better for me.
My second suggestion- is there any way you could make a mode where I can move and select keys with the d-pad? I know that kind of defeats the purpose of the touch screen, but you can select letters like that in pictochat as well, and it comes in handy quite a bit. Just give me a little selector box around the key to let me know which key I'm on and press A to enter it, you get the point.

Otherwise, great job, and I hope you implement the features I suggested!

Yes, I'm using the latest libnds - 20060410, I think. I had some issues on my screen too, so it's tweaked to work on mine ... not sure what more to do with the touchscreen, it's being a bit of a bitch. Is there some recommended code anywhere for converting touch->pixel coordinates; the libnds code still seems to return "raw" touchscreen values, not pixel values?

I will be doing some extra text input stuff at some point; still deciding how that will work.

Okay, cool. After messing around with it a little more, I noticed that if you quickly tap instead of press on the key it will register more accurately. Also, I went into irc.rizon.net #sylphirc as "dafatkid2", and then went in the same channel as "dafatkid3" on my PC, and I was able to send and receive messages, but I noticed that when I exited from mIRC on my PC, the DS client froze and I was unable to do anything and had to shut it off. Any ideas about what's happening?

Could be a problem with clients quitting ... I'll investigate tomorrow. (I know the part message used to cause a similar issue, probably related).

Okay, thanks, and it also seems to freeze if I enter a channel that has A LOT of users. Thanks for the toy!

It's not doing much for me. I managed to join irc.efnet.net, it said the usual "no ident response", but I wasn't able to join any channels. After that I ran it again and couldn't do anything, no messages from the server, until I tried with a different nick. Still no messages from the server; I was suddenly in #anime even though I never specified that channel. I joined a channel I know usually has people in it, and it didn't list anyone; I could say things but it seemed nobody was there.

I tested it on a Supercard SD (with a loader).

Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: one I go to...
Wifi: WEP Shared

It did work, receiving and sending worked fine.

/me came up with:
[\0x01]ACTION
on my PC IRC client (ChatZilla).

OK, updated download up on the same page - http://www.sylphds.net/ev2/contentview.php?id=401

v0.02 changes:
-Recompiled with (definitely!) latest libnds, may or may not help touchscreen calibration. Not sure whether v0.01 was actually compiled with latest libnds or not now; I had two versions floating around.
-Fix crashing when Quit message received
-Add notifications for users joining/leaving channels
-Ability to read config from CF card (anything supported by Chism's library)

To edit the config, copy the sylphirc/ folder onto a CF card and boot SylphIRC with the CF card inserted. Any files it can't find on the card, it'll use the internal version of instead. (Don't put any files in the root - it only looks inside the /sylphirc/ folder)

Files you can edit:
border1.stex, font.bin: Not written any specs for these yet...
memo.sly: Layout for the top screen
KeybL.sly: Lowercase keyboard definition
KeybH.sly: Uppercase keyboard definition
sylphirc.cfg: First line in this file is the default server to connect to; not added any other preferences yet.

(Note: if you don't see the line "SylphCF: Init data plugin" in the text you get on initial bootup, it means Chism's driver hasn't found the CF card, try again. It does scroll away a bit quickly though, sorry!)

I'm not one for IRC.

Are there any plans for an AIM client?

(NIM - Nitro Instant Messenger) =P

Now that I think about it, what about Gaim?

I have that problem as well. Just restart the program, it should work at least a little bit longer.

It'd probably be better to get a Jabber client working; at least then you could communicate with Gaim users.

You are entering server and nick, with return after each one, before trying Join, like it says further up in this topic, right? Also try waiting a couple of seconds after connecting before joining any channels, if the server takes a while to check ident etc. it may not be happy with you trying to join channels straight away.

Sorry my mistake, found out what I did wrong! Thanks for helping me.
Got it working now, its really cool, i can send message and see the message others writes.

After applying the ndsloader.bin header for running on my supercard it'll boot up, get to aquiring DHCP and then just sit there. I bet I'm doing something stupid, but I can't think of what. Anybody feel like enlightening me?

K this is pretty sweet so I was messing around with it and I found that the servers I connected to I could connect fine and other people see me connect, change name, leave. But anything they or I wirte I/they dont get it or actions. Anyone else have this happen?

I got it working. Most servers I use require identd, so I had to run the identd server on my PC.

The first 3 top rows of text in every window stopped being drawn correctly but the 4 rows below those are working fine.

If I try to ping the DS client, eg. "/ctcp sektorDS PING", it replies with a privmsg instead of CTCP.

The touch screen is definitely better in this release.

You sure you were using WEP shared? It was my impression that shared didn't work with the lib. And It's not working with shared for me.

CTCP ACTION and PING will be fixed in the next version (probably tomorrow); handling of the nick list within a channel should be better too (ie. it won't spill over and start screwing up the chat window...). Also disabled the commands (Join, ...) until actually connected to a server so it's a bit harder to crash ;)

If the touchscreen issues are better for other people in 0.02 then it probably was just me using an old libnds without realising it.

And it's almost impossible to use because the keyboard will not register the right keys, and I always accidentally hit return. For example, I hit backspace and it registers as shift, then return. I just calibrated it in the firmware. You really need to add the ability to select keys via the dpad.
EDIT: This is using the latest version.
EDIT2: I just tried pressing c and it registered as pressing the Nick button.

Yeah, I kept hitting Return instead of Backspace because of the placement.

My dlink router doesn't seem to have the option, but my computer (which has the internet through it) is set to shared.

The DNS and gateway settings go to the PC's IP, not to a set one in the router. I don't exactly understand my wireless, but it just works.

This is awesome. I joined the same channel on my DS and computer, and on my computer it showed that my DS name signed on and everything. When I typed messages on my DS, they didn't show up on the computer, but I probably just need to experiment more. I know the new version just came out, but do you have an idea of when a version will come out that lets you recieve messages on your DS?

It already can, at least for me.

When you join a channel, it won't focus on that channel's messages straight away. Use the shoulder buttons to flip between windows: the channel you have just joined should be one of them.

If you hadn't tried that, it would also explain why sending messages didn't work, since it sends to whatever channel window is active.

Finally got around to trying this today.

running from gbamp with MightyMax's bootloader.

It refuses to connect to irc.blitzed.org - I get a message saying "if you have trouble connecting then try typing /QUOTE PONG <large number>"

connected to efnet ok but I can't see any text although it flashes briefly when I press the left shoulder button.

Oh, I see! This program is so cool. Here are some things I think would be nice in the future:

1: Saving favorite servers/channel names, and maybe making it so you can choose a server and a channel to connect to on start-up.

2: Better keyboard calibration. There was a huge improvement in version 2, but it is still not that great. I can't really actually have a conversation with people yet.

3: Better stability. I don't know how you would fix it, but everytime I go on IRC, I can only stay on for about 5 minutes until it stops recieving messages, and then eventually freezes. Maybe it's just my setup though.

4: Ability to do commands, like /kick. Unless there is a way to do them that I don't know about. I was impressed with the /me button though, that thing is pretty handy.

5: More ways to connect to an AP. I know this one is obvious, but might as well mention it. If you could get something going like in DSRemote, you would be able to jump right onto IRC anytime you come across a wireless router without WEP encryption.

This is already one of my favorite homebrew apps for DS so far, but if you could get those 5 things, this thing would be really awesome. I probably wouldn't even need my computer for IRC anymore.

Also, here's one more thing that isn't really important, just an idea: You could have a few buttons that type common messages, like "hello," "see ya," "haha," etc. And the user can specify what those buttons will type for them.

Most stuff will come at some point, but this last, you can sort of do already, provided you have a CF card to save your config onto. Take a look at the keyboard layout files in the zip package for v0.02; you can define your own keyboard buttons and say what text they trigger. Normally each keyboard button only types one letter, of course, but I think it would work if you bound a button to a phrase.

I use the same as you, It works on mine.

Mine:
GBAMP
Flashme v6
Moonshell 1.1

odd...my versions are the same as yours :-/

Version 0.03 is out, http://www.sylphds.net/ev2/contentview.php?id=401

v0.03 changes:
-Fixed PING/VERSION CTCPs
-Added ability to control keyboard/enter text using D-pad/A (scroll message windows with X/B now instead)
-Press SELECT to flip screens
-Scrolling text boxes (eg. list of nicks in channels)
-Fix QUIT messages
-Clip textboxes properly when text is too long

The keyboard-via-DPad works OK-ish but if you find any odd bits where the arrows don't select the controls you want, it's because the DS is working it out dynamically; since you can change the keyboard layout to move or resize the keys, it can't hardcode which key to move to next and search for a good one to choose.

Since it copes with long nick lists now - hopefully! - that might sort out one or two problems cause by the nick list overflowing off the edge of the screen.

New version is working great! I have one question though: Is there a way to show the list of nicknames in the channel?

I've connected and joined a channel, but I'm not seeing any lines written in that channel. I also can't seem to write anything to the channel either.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Tivac: Yes. Read up.

Flyfishing: Other than the list above the messages window, no. If that's particularly long, it will take a while to see it all; of course, a long enough nick list would need scrolling to see even in the main message window...

Must say that nice work with v.0.03, especially use D-Pad. It makes everything much easier now. Hope you conutine at this very nice hombrew!

It connects to the AP, then just shows two blue screens and doesn't do anything.

Ditto for me.

Wait..does the folder need to be copyed over? or just the DS file?

I am still stuck without a compact flash reader/writer, so I have been sending stuff wirelessly.
Thus I just copyed the DS file itself.

On a related note;
Is it even possible for me to create a folder on the DS using DSOrganiser?
Then copy one file at a time into it?

When you flip the screens, you can still 'click' the buttons that are now on the top screen.

I think it also froze when I 'clicked' caps.

It doesn't support my SD, so I just hexedit to put in my irc server. Good thing my IRC serevr is the same length as the one already in there.

Still, very nice :)

Caps and shift freeze the app in v0.03, so don't touch those keys.

It worked well when started with WMB but I get graphic corruption if I launch it from M3 CF menu. You probably need to clear VRAM to fix that. It's great being able to use the d-pad instead of stylus, all homebrew apps with keyboards should have that feature.

Can you make it load nick and channel names from the cfg so I don't have to type them each time?

You need to have the "Sylphirc" folder placed in root, (with all the files that are in it). The program itself can be in any folder.

~sigh~
oh well.

I'm using a SuperCard SD. I copied all the downloaded contents to root, and ran it, but it just has a white screen on top and a black screen on the bottom, which has text saying "SylphDS/SylphIRC 0.03"

I am doing it wrong. :(

Finally got this thing to work talking on 4CRs irc chat. Sweet stuff. Using SCSD

CAPS freezes the program 4 me too.

Just wanted to say how utterly shiny this little app is already. I have my DS op'ed on one channel, can't wait for the kick command to be implemented. Should get them added under the main keyboard. Hope it happens soon. ;)
Great work. Liking the interface and colour scheme actually. Reminds me of Electroplankton, very "calming".

Caps lock/Shift locking up program: Found the bug, will be fixed in next release. Should be this weekend.

M3 CF graphics corruption: Can't reproduce it without an M3, but I've put in some code to clear the graphics banks before I use them, hopefully will help.

Default nick/channel: Not written yet but should be fairly quick, so may be in next release.

v0.04 available at the normal page, http://www.sylphds.net/ev2/contentview.php?id=401

v0.04 changes:
-Fixed Shift/Capslock hanging program
-Clear VRAM on load, may solve M3 graphics corruption
-Add Kick command/button
-Specify default nickname & channel in config file
-Set message window on top screen explicitly
-New text input method: flip screens & touch words to put them in buffer

The last change should hopefully make text input a bit quicker, you can bring the message window/nick list down to the touchscreen & touch any word on the screen to add it to the buffer.

The config file & keyboard layouts have changed slightly in this version again, so if anybody did actually have their own versions, they'll need replacing/editing before using 0.04.

EDIT: /me actions seem to be not-broken-but-behaving-oddly in this release, so no need to report that, I know about it. Also, if you set a default channel in the .cfg file, press START to join that channel.

Will this be a available as an nds.gba at all? Or is it easy to do it yourself?

Yes, you can do it yourself. Either use the "DSBuild" command line tool, or you can probably concatenate a loader on the front yourself in any number of ways, including the COPY command.

WHY doesnt it go??
I triied all version on gbamp and on m3 CF. I get the blue screens, i type a channel, then i type a nick and when I tap RTN it freezes after some secondS! and the led continues to flash!
What do i do wrong?

um its just a guess,
but when you type a channel,
its suppost to be the server...
the default will NOT work,
you can use something like
irc.rizon.net
then type in w/e nick
then hit enter and press join
and then enter the Channel :)

hope this helps :P

falcon!!! wrote:

Mine froze up for a minute there as well while it was apparently connecting to the server, after a couple of seconds it unfroze.

I'm doing something wrong with this config business, but I don't know what it could be. I've got the SylphIRC folder with all the files in it at the root of my SD card. The .cfg has my server/nick/channel all set, and I haven't touched the rest of the files. I've tried naming the folder both SylphIRC and sylphirc, as well as including just the changed .cfg file or all of the files. No luck so far, it keeps gleefully ignoring my settings.

What have I failed to read this time?

Having way too much fun with this app now! :)
Nothing quite like kicking people while sitting outside in the sunshine with a nice beer. ;) Hope nick/password use is implemented soon. Keep up the great work.

No joy with this on Supercard SD.
0.3 worked fine, with 0.4 it does not seem to connect the the server. Cannot join chans even if i wait for a while.

Can this handle downloads using a pc directory as the DL folder or is that more complicated than this allows?

Works for me. Just depends which server you're connecting too.

Does the IRC client not respond to IDENT yet? Most EFNet servers kick you off if you don't respond properly.

I use efnet.demon.co.uk
They're ok with no IDENT

I wasn't aware any servers actually still wanted ident.

Clearing the VRAM fixed the graphics corruption on my M3. :D
However when i try to enter more than two channels the client freezes.

I can enter a server and join a channel and send messages, but all i can see are MY messages...
What is wrong?

If you don't see a list of users then you didn't really join the channel, you may not even be connected to the server.

i think i'm connected, because it's not freezeing like before, and if i click on QUIT it says OFFLINE.

so what can i do?

make a test channel on your PC, join it with your DS and see if they can talk with each other

i dont want to know if i'm connected. i want to know why i can't see other users if I join a channel
anyway i'll test what you said

Guys, remember to press L as soon as your connected to server.

compacho wrote:

By pressing L, it will take you into the channel you typed in so u can chat.

I got it to work :)
Efnet seems just about all i can connect too though.

And I cant seem to change channel without either crashing or not respondeing.
But still, very cool :)

help :s it all worked once, i connected to worldnet like i said.. I turned my DS off, back on.

Now it just gets stuck on ACQUIRINGDHCP, which is weird because I havn't changed any network settings nor WFC settings

Some of the wifi homebrew apps kill my router and I have to reboot it because even Commercial games won't connect any more.

I think NDS Mail does it on mine.

Try that.

freeze on registering data sound raw/compiled data
i use gbamp2 (flashed) CF version

edit: in fact it freeze anywhere ^^ my best score was freezing at "waiting for ARM7 to init.." :p

Well I got really excited when I found this irc app earlier today, but I can't get it to work, and I blame it on my homebrew ignorance. Still can't figure out half the stuff I read...

I use a Datel 4gb with the media launcher program, access WFC with the Nintendo USB dongle, and I changed my nick and server in the cfg file.

This is as far as I get.

Help please! Thanks in advance!

Since you're using the USB adapter, the program won't work. DS WiFi homebrew uses access points (routers). The USB adapter won't function as an AP unless you hack it, (search the forums for info). So you'll either need to hack it, or you'll need a router.

Thanks for the info! Very useful.

Just started checking out the threads about hacking the USB adapter... should be interesting to try this out. I might give it a shot, but I think I've got a buddy with an old router he might let me have.

Thanks again!

Thank to the above suggestions, I got my dongle changed to an AP, which works great! I now connect and find myself at two blue screens, which shows the server I entered in the .cfg file, and all the command buttons and stuff.

The problem I have now is.. it doesn't do anything. Typing, clicking buttons, pressing the L shoulder, pressing start: none of it does anything. Argh! So close, and yet so far. I scrolled back through the topic and found a couple other people witht he same problem, but the solutions suggested to them did nothing for me. Here's what it looks like now...

More help please!

edit: Okay.. uh.. I don't know what's going on, but it's suddenly working now! How odd. Freaking awesome app, I love it!

i just tried this and it worked first time. weird graphics corruption at the bottom of the screen but no harm done. wheres a good irc channel then?

Edit: why does everything online work for me apart from beup? :(

it still seems that i cant access to channel. I mean, i type it, press RTN, but it show me no nicks or text.
It does not freeze , i can write, send and I think it's conneceted

in fact i have the same problem of ry light.

you've tried the right and left shoulder buttons yeah?

once it's working its cool... except for something that relies text so much the keyboard makes me want to smash things. very very frustrating.

a server/channel playlist would be cool, and the keyboard thing being tightened up :)

Update: if i change the config file it doesnt seem to use what i changed it to.

Update to my last update :-\ I guess that time it worked was a fluke, because after chatting for an hour yesterday, i quit the app, restarted my DS and booted up the app again, and it didn't work. After many restarts, still no worky. Nooooooooooo!

This is really frustrating. Why would it work that one time, and then never again? I haven't changed a single setting either Wifi or sylphirc. Not finding anything in the thread here that's helped.

we are in the same situation :(

how long until we see a new version with a more accurate keyboard :( ?

right, i've been using this a lot now and have a few suggestions.
the text display needs to be bigger. it needs to use the whole top screen with out a frame and without the info at the top and bottom. just full screen type. be nice to move the keyboard down further on the bottom screen and have what you're typing in get a bit more space. hold select or something to get the channel info and stuff.

that's what i think.

i know whats wrong with the keybourd, i think the sensitivities off. if you jabb at the screen a little firmly the right keys get pressed. we need a little sensitivity slider or something. same with draw isnt it?

I think the problem would be solved if the key pressed would be the key the stylus was on once it was released from the screen

(bump!)

New version 0.05 has been released, download it from http://www.sylphds.net/ev2/contentview.php?id=519

-Source released

Cheers...

Awesome, finally we can PM. Thanks a lot, hope you continue working on it.

I have the SAME problem as ry_lights.

I was able to get onto all the Wifi homebrew when I first set up the SoftAP. The rest of my information is on the last page of the Wifi Troubleshooting pinned post.

Now I freeze on sylphirc, wifichat, and dsaim at launch. Doesn't even do anything.

Maybe its the router? I used Datel MMP and MMD also.
