beup 0.2

Roffle. Sorry, trip lasted more than I expected (waaay more), it wasn't under my control :(

Anyway:
beup.ds.gba
beup.nds
beup.tar.bz2

Changelog: Lots
- Added support for sending / receiving user display pictures through MSNSLP
- Added support for sending / receiving INK gifs (not sure if works with official client, it does work with aMSN, kopete and others)
- Can handle now 302 Transfer in SSL auth (I think, if it doesn't, contact me)
- Added keyboard pressed key mask thingy a lot of people asked.
- Updated to devkitpro19
- Fixed bugs where some transaction ids were expected to be 1 char long
- Changed principal interface
- Can change now avatar / display name
- Fixed bug where would crash if disconnected while chatting
- Fixed bug where MSN would still consider you online / in some session even after closing (in my PC works fine, probably an error of socket closing of the lib)
- Fixed some stuff where a principal would create new tabs continuously because beup didn't recognize that it had left the one before
- Tabs now appear only after partner sends a message (so sessions used only for avatar exchange don't clutter the tab container)
- Added some sounds
- Tabs now use principal names instead of account
- Fixed chat tabs in general
- Changed button look
- Simplified principal synchronization (hope it crashes less now)
- Implemented composite glyphs for dstype (now can display accents / tildes / stuff)
- More other stuff that I can't remember.

Stuff still wrong:
- DHCP still fails sometimes (probably the lib, probably *I*'m using the lib in a wrong way)
- SSL still fails sometimes (tell me somebody is writing a native SSL lib for the DS...)
- WEP seems to crash regularly (can't check it since I don't use WEP)
- I probably should create an interface to update network config on beup itself, so people shouldn't rely on firmware / weird dhcp behavior.
- Still uses small keyboard (even though many have asked for a bigger one). Anybody knows where to get a simplistic keyboard bitmap that doesn't have dozens of shade effects?

All in all, I'm sorry for making you wait. I'll start working on .3 soon.

EDIT: beup 0.3
If you don't want to get to page 23 to get .3, downloads are here:

With no fat lib support (for people using WMB, or who just don't want their card to be touched - saving is done in SRAM):
beup.ds.gba
beup.nds

With normal fat libs (most cards):
beup.ds.gba
beup.nds

With rein-patched libs (M3SD, SCDS...):
beup.ds.gba
beup.nds

thanx a lot Kevinc, I have been waiting all week this day! a lot of thanx! you are the best :D... and plz more bigger keys
THANX!

Great, Kevinc :)

I didn't test already, but did you include the last version of dswifi ? The DHCP is more stable...

And what about a website hosted on drunkencoders ? You could post there screenshots, news, etc...

More thanks, Kevinc.. This one of the biggest homebrews (I respect the others projects too ^^ )

Awesome, kevinc. The sounds, the key mask thingie, the display picture display, the color selection, it's all just so complete. Keyboard presses seem way more accurate too. Thank you for the great work.

Kevinc, you should to put the initially state Offline, or that the program remember the last state
thanx, is amazing your new version! has a lot of changes :)

As soon as I used the draw function the whole program froze lol

Woot, there's a bug in the drawing function I forgot to fix. I'll work on it now.

@alexfs: Funny, lots of people complained because it started as Offline, and couldn't find easily how to change it @_@

The version before the last, actually. I'm waiting for sgstair to implement FIONREAD (required by the SSL lib).

About the page in drunkencoders, I don't know, I'm not a fan of keeping blogs. I'll think about it.

P.S. Not as bad as my English :D

waow, another bug now, i wanted to change the window, and both of screens blinked in strange colors and now there are both black...
i'm using SC SD

Do both errors happen right after downloading the display picture? Or before it?

Are you using WEP?

The draw function is the one I've wanted so much!
Let us know as soon as you finish fixing it, will you?

It has been working 95% of the time now... I guess I was very unlucky to encounter that freeze bug on my first try :/

It froze once when I clicked on the 'X' for closing the chat window. Maybe that was caused by something else and it was just coincidence that I just pressed it that moment though.

If you're using SuperCard CF, just create a blank BeUP.sav file and set it's attribute to 'hidden'. Then use the QPC method to save :) Works for me :)

Actually, if you read sgstairs blog page, he updated v .3 a few days ago with a stronger TCP connection, but it wasn't enough to warrant a v .4 release.

I use SC CF

1. Install SuperCard's patching software and go to it's folder.
2. Copy 'save.sav' to the same directory where you keep your beup binary (make sure it's the .ds.gba version with a renamed ext - let's presume it's called 'beup.nds' - '.sc.nds' extension won't work, for some reason).
3. Rename the .sav file to the same name as the beup binary (in our example 'beup.sav')
4. Pop the CF back to your SC and run beup.
5. Log-in using your data and then disconnect.
6. Now turn the DS off and immediately on again, go to the saver menu;
7. Find 'beup.sav' and press A two times

There - every time you will run beup, the SRAM data from the .sav file will get copied into SC's SRAM. This way you won't need to enter the account info all over again :)

P.S.: This works on all version of SuperCard. Tested & working on my SC miniSD (yes, I know it has a battery backed SRAM, thankyouverymuch).

i just tried to use QPC method and...
it has corrupt my SD card and in the list of the supercard i've just had some chinese symbols...
i'm trying to recover my savegames with a program

did you use a blank GBA savegame renamed to beup.sav?

or did you completely make a new file and call it beup.sav?
if you did that, thats probably the problem...

i've made my test BEFORE you explain exactly how to do this...
i've taken a blank sav file :(

i will wait for a better version of beup ... please

MSN service is down :D
no one is online on msn in the whole world :P

you can use the oficial web of web msn http://webmessenger.msn.com but I cant see anyone online :(

yeah.. to much people testting Beup at same time =]

hahaha rofl rofl :P hey.. Im online on my PC again.. :D lets rty it out on the DS XD

EDIT: w00t! it works

is it possible to use your own avatars? :)

(where is the source????? :D)

How about some instructions on how to compile beup with the newest wifi libs? Names of tools would be a great help, but a tutorial on the commands, and where to put the files of the wifi lib (I'm assuming just replace the ones already there). I also noticed the avatar folder, so we can add our own in. Does it HAVE to be 96x96, and any filetype restrictions, like GIF and PNG only?

:'(

why doesnt he include the code that when you close your DS the backlight will turn off? :(

I want this feature :'(

Hi guys, I tweaked the program a bit.

- Due to... ahm, popular demand, initial presence was set back to Offline. Remember to set it to somewhat else before chatting.
- Ink was fixed. Probably. Check it out.

To compile, you must have:
- devkitarm 19
- latest libnds
- DEVKITARM environment var set to the directory where you installed devkitarm
- wifi lib is provided (until the cvs tree implements FIONREAD)

Then type make in the root folder.

Yes, you can put your own avatars in the "avatars" folder. But you must do "make clean all" in the root folder so that it takes in account the new files.
They do have to be 96x96, and in png format (since that's what the spec asks for; normal clients do the transformations themselves, but I want to keep beup small). Reading from SD/CF cards is planned for the next version :D

To set your own avatar, double click in your nickname in the principal tab, to open the profile tab. There you can change your nick and your avatar.

Welcome back.. where do I grab this updated release?

Getting my DS Lite tomorrow, this is gonna be the 1st piece of homebrew I try - sounds really promising! I plan to be msning on my DS from the back garden if I can :D

Keep up the good work kevinc!

Out of interest, how stable & usable is it (when msn is actually working....) - is it possible to actually have full on conversations?

o_OUu
The source code is already out...
*points at the beup.tar.bz2 file thingie*
(page 24 btw)

How retarded of me ... I apologize. *blush*
Anyways, a fantastic application, keep up the good work! :)

I notice that when I sign off and back on (either by reseting or using Start) that my avatar is set back to none. Is it able to remember it like how it remembers my login details?

Also, now that source is available, where is it that you define the defualt login status? When I recompile it with a new avatar, I may want to set that back to online. Just a file name and some of the line and I can Edit>Find it and change it.

Wifi Lib CVS Update

Again, a very small CVS update, addressing a few issues brought to my attention by people bugging me :)
This CVS update contains:
* DHCP fix! Now the intermittent failing of DHCP and the days of getting an IP of 0.0.0.0 should be over.
* FIONREAD support (As requested)
* connect() now operates in blocking mode! If you enable non-blocking mode before calling connect, it will still return immediately indicating success, but several people have asked for blocking mode (and I?ve been planning to add it anyway, just to be more ?correct?)

That?s all the feature updates at the moment, and I must apologize because they?re not very well tested at this point, but they should work. (I just don?t have the time to test today? at all)
If for some reason they don?t work, please let me know, of course.
Additionally, this is already known to some of you, but I have plans to add many new features and release a new precompiled library on friday or saturday this week - among the features planned to be added are: select() support, shared key authentication, support for ?hidden? APs (by way of probe requests), lingering TCP connections on close (so they shut down properly), and a few other large and small items. If you have requests, please post them :)
Anyway, need to get back to work?..

EDIT: Ah, I see you already commented. Is it as easy as a compile, and we could expect a new release from you sometime soon, or do you need to recode some things for the Fionread feature?

i don't want to be offline at connect ;)

Once I get better at this compiling thing I'll make one with Online set to default and PM it to you.

why not just ask for status before connecting?

I'm a newb at coding, I wouldn't be able to do that to my own program, much less try to find what file to put it in on someone elses.

This version of beup won't send and receive the draw images with the users of MSN messenger 7.5.

Are there any testers who can send&receive the draw images?

Last edited by devmani on Thu Jun 22, 2006 9:05 am; edited 2 times in total

I can't send & receive drawings with Windows Live Messenger 8.0 users, either.
And it sometimes freezes when I try to send a message after a contact "has left the conversation".

I can't login at all with beup, it hangs at "Doing handshake..." until it times out and disconnects. I'm using WEP on my router and also my login is ...@gmail.com , if that makes any difference. I'm using an M3 mini-SD with the MML.

Any ideas?

Yesterday there was a problem all day on MSN...
That the reason some of you had problems, as so, on the Pc you would have the same problems.

I just uploaded the program compiled against the latest wifilib, the changelog reports a fixed connection bug, you can try again.
Anyway, WEP support in the lib is not excellent, so you may have better luck with WEP deactivated.

I'm having some problems with compiling ...

are you sure you have the newest devkitpro installed?,
looks like you have the Elf version or w/e,
(it can't find the eabi compiler)

As I said in the first post, while I'm not new to programming (coming from Java), this is my second big project for the DS and C++ :D (that's why my makefiles and my init routines look nooby - ok, the whole program *is* nooby).
My philosophy for the CPU thingies is: arm7.c for ARM7, all the rest for ARM9. I was never a multitasking person myself.

PS. You need devkitarm19 and the latest libnds btw.

hello, why not adding a microphone fonction? :)
and just saving in a SC SD

everything works good except for 1 thing: draw messages cannot be send/received

Anyway could i choose another image to put inthe avatar (not the default one) ?

How can I save settings on m3 CF?

really great work! Keep up... BEUP! :D

I can confirm that the draw feature works just fine. Ive tried with BeUP -> 7.5 .. and BeUP -> BeUP

I'll try with messenger live 8 later on, but it wouldn't supprise me if it works as well

Hey, just got my DS Lite and everything today. This is the first piece of software I tried on my M3 MiniSD :D!

Having a bit of a problem logging in tho, it finds an ip, i type my passport email into username, password into password, it handshakes OK but then fails on SSL every time.

Any idea's?

Cheers!

i downloaded it only 7 hours ago. Was it the old or fixed release?

edit: the message draw arrives at the pc, but as a blank message

like this:

falcon!!!:

Hmm, even tried sorting my WiFi settings out again and setting them manually but still no luck.

It gets an ip, gets an auth token, gets to "Authenticating... (still buggy)" then says "SSL connect failed", Authentication failed.

Any help much appreciated, im using an M3 SDMini and launching it by pressing START rather than A. Im using a Ralink Soft AP from my computer, and when I sign into beup I'm guessing username is your passport email address?

Maybe its something to do with ports? What ports need to be opened?

Thanks!

Hello,

good work Kevinc, and good luck with Ecuador ;)

i'm using DS (first European generation) with SD CF and all seems ok.
drawings work, i can change avatars, sounds are ok, event the QPC method works

I didn't try DHCP or WiFi Hot-Spot

About drawings: i think it could be more "sensitive", it's really hard to make a good drawing or writing, because even if the pen is well on the screen, there is sometimes no line or no plot.

There's still some problems with the keyboard but it's better.

Some ideas, what about
- Microphone ? ;)
- Several accounts ?
- Smileys ?

See ya soon

PS: sorry for my English i'm poor frenchman with a poor french soccer team ;)

Can you give a tutorial simple to change our avatar...
I don't know anything in programation so i need help... i am so noob :(
I have read, we must have - devkitarm 19
- latest libnds
- DEVKITARM environment var set to the directory where you installed devkitarm
- wifi lib is provided (until the cvs tree implements FIONREAD)
to compile the source.
I have download and extract beup.tar.bz2, in folder, there is "avatars". I put my avatars on this folder but now i don't know what can i do...

Help please !! ...

I?ve tested the INK function on Windows Live Messenger.. and it works =]

i just hove for a thick brush.. maybe 3 or 4 pixels

Bad luck? *ducks* It depends on so many factors it's hard to count...

I'm really sorry, SSL is admittedly the worst part of my program, and even worse because I can't understand much of the lib (I didn't write it, I half ported it), and it seems most of the failures come from it...

I will give it first priority for the next release (even if I have to rewrite it), that I can promise :)

i know its not urgent but could u add after japanese font support please ? :p

I could add full unicode font support, but that would require 3+ MB fonts... and with it GBFS or some other system, and many cards can't handle that.

Can you use roms with more than 4MB with GBAMP and similars? How?

moonshell with all font is not bigger than 1mb!!!

GBAMP can read 4Mb rom maximum

yeah madri2 , u're right ;)

It seems like we may need a FAQ or something... kevinc check your PM

ah just another question, i always have to retyp my account info :( it never save ... why?
i use GBAMP CF

madri2 wrote:

yes but in moonshell you select only 1 font when you create the *nsd ;)

So it's less than 1 MB. all the fonts are about 4 MB.

or make a special japanese edition.. (so that the other guys can use the small font edition ;))

plz add an option that let you to block your contacts , and one option that let you to hide the nicks of your contacts and your own nick, because when you are chatting some nicks uses three or four lines in main screen, and frequently when Im chatting with anyone, some times, puts "user has left", and it froze some seconds, and you have to close, and re-open this contact, and you can lose some chat, plz fix this ... sorry for my english but I'm spanish :)

Que ostiaaaa...

Sure. Blocking was planning for this release but I forgot it... and you're right, some people just love long nicknames.
The program is supposed to re-invite your partner while you're typing, I'll check on that.

@madri2: Beup uses ttf fonts (just like Windows/Linux), not bitmap fonts (like moonshell). That allows me to do antialiasing and resizing at will. I'll look if there's a font that supports Japanese charas that's small enough.

"all language set are displayed" what is it? (when loading setup.exe)

Hi!
Just to report that the new version is much more slable than the previous one on GBAMP and WEP connection, once connected :)
It would really be nice to have maybe a button to load the settings (user and apss) from a simple text file in gbamp, do you think it would be possible to add?

Bafio

The program is supposed to re-invite your partner while you're typing, I'll check on that.

>>> yep it works

it's strange, by reading feedback, i'm guessing that your program is working only half of time, with random bugs :(

but you've done a great job, and good luck for debugind!

Latest version works rock solid. Got the avatars to show and the sounds to play (only incoming though, not typing which is the one when I send one I assume). Have a few requests though, can either go in this one or the next one (or for anyone who wants to tinker with the source).

A clock on the upper screen in the blue Beup banner, laying in bed typing, I sometimes wonder what time it is.

(somewhat related to above) Time stamps (time displayed after that xxxx says:).

Save which avatar you used last like how it saves your account settings.

how do you pronounce beup?
I currently say it like "byoop"

and how did it get its name?

I finally got this to work!

I wasnt able to send or receive inks from MSN 7.5, but I was able to send inks to msn v7.

It worked like a charm until it crashed after entering my contact list again after opening 3 message windows.

Edit: Ink doesnt work with trillian.

Awesome :D! Thing is, nobody else on here seems to be having this problem - I've been trying to get on msn with it most of the day and it never gets past SSL.

Maybe its something to do with the software router im using... Which ports does it use?

I keep hanging on the handshake. I tried a few different versions of msn, not all though don't know if that would help. My wifi works as I play online all the time. I have m3 sd. Just wondering if there is anywhere I can go to figure out what's wrong. Oh ya and I haven't run any other homebrew wifi programs so I don't know if I need any special files or configs etc.

This may help you out a bit take a look its a wi-fi setup application and source

Subpixel antialiasing will look blurrier on a screen with the wrong pixel order.

oke.. I put beup in the devkitPro and he worked.. but only half, b/c it give me ALOT of error codes :(
what to do ? :(

noob's source code need NOOBS coders.

Let ME try XD

Only joking ^^

Anyway, were you trying to implement the last wifi lib (with DHCP full support) ?

falcon!!! wrote:

yes.. and I made a whole new skin too for it.. (like the original msn messenger ^_^
I made some changes to the keyboard too and different avatars ^_^

Very likely. Does the DS Lite have a different channel alignment than the normal DS?
(and if it does, is there any way to detect in runtime if it's running in a Lite?)

(BTW: the links point already to the program compiled against the latest -21/6/06- lib)

- For the people for whom the SSL lib fails -

These are test files with the SSL lib put in debug mode. Please tell me what happens before it fails:

ive never used devkitpro before, but i have the latest version installed now.

I need help, how do I compile the source to make the .ds.gba file?
This is what I have done so far-

-Downloaded and installed devkitpro
-Downloaded source code
-extracted the "tar" file using winzip
-replaced the "kenny" avatar with one of my own, but keeping its original file name

now how to i put it all together to make the .ds.gba file?

it might work for me, just tell me how to make all the source into one nice ds.gba/nds file

im a nooby and never ever ever developed for the nds before and this is all new to me, just how to i make it?

This program is awesome. This is definetely one of my favorite DS programs now. Haha, you should have seen the look on my friends face when I told him I was talking to him with my DS. Well, you couldn't see it, but, you know.

"dude they made pictochat online?!"

Anyways, here's a couple things I would like to see in the future:

1. When using the drawing screen, you can press a button to make it maximize to fit most of the bottom screen, at least taking over the keyboard, so you can have more drawing space.

2. A button that instantly clears everything in the drawing space, like the one in Pictochat. Sometimes when I put the stylus down, it randomly draws a line across the screen. And it takes forever to erase - which brings me to my next point, more eraser options. The one on it is really tiny.

Other than that, this program is already really awesome. Thank you.

This doesnt even load properly for me (M3 MiniSD - white screens) - please could you make a version compatible with the M3 using the same fix as before? :) Sorry!

I will report back as soon as I have tested a working version.

how do you compile using devkitpro and beups modified source??

Huh? It doesn't do anything that should crash the program :(, it only loads text mode and prints a lot of stuff.

I made a few changes. Try again? :)

Magic! That did the trick. Right the text output is pretty huge, I dont really know what info you need from this....

It ended with "SSL_connect: ERROR CODE -210" SSL connect failed.

The 1st time I ran it tho it was something else, there was more text and it ended with "connection close" after some info about the time/date.

The first time you were in :)

The second time... could you post all the lines? I need to know where the program was when it failed :D

Havnt been able to get it to do what it did the 1st time at all since then :( I guess it worked properly the first time.

Keep getting this same ERROR CODE -210 now. More details:

SSL_connect: Entering state switch
SSL_connect: neededState 4
Wait: started
Wait: got something, waiting for more....
Wait: end
ready.... 536
GetRecordHeader: size 4 84 -> 1108
ProcessReply: Size test 2, got 531, needed 1108
ERROR -210
SSL_connect: actual serverstate 0
SSL_connect: ERROR CODE -210
SSL_connect failed.

kevinc, how do I compile using devkitpro?

i changed the avatars from the source file and i never used devkitpro (or any dev program) ever

please respond, my question has been overlooked twice already :(

Hmm... the lib gets a package too small, and is too stupid to wait for the rest.

Changed it to wait a little longer, try again. :)

@thundrestrike: Type make :)
You may need an unix-like environment for some utils (like "conv" for transforming the audio and bitmaps).
I will make it more Windows-compatible later (I just didn't expect anybody to want to recompile my program)

kevinc wrote:

Yeah! It outputs loads more writing now, far too much for me to take in actually. Plus there doesnt seem to be any way to scroll up :(

Anyway it says the date at the bottom, followed by "connection: close" and the number 500.

:)

*EDIT: Ok, ran it another 3 times and ONCE it did the same ERROR -210 thing, but the other times its outputting all the writing and finishing with Connection: close 500, good job.

In ends with 500 every time? If so, it's done :D

I'll wait to see what everybody else says before I backport it to beup.

EDIT: Ok, 2 of 3 is good, I guess...

Last edited by kevinc on Sun Jun 25, 2006 1:38 am; edited 1 time in total

Ran it roughly 10 times now, still only once had ERROR -210 - I'd say its pretty much fine for me now. Ends with 500 every time, yeah :D

Will this be easy to change in the actual beup program?

Nice one! :)

Not really, it just tells the lib to wait a little longer (which makes the authentication last about ~6 secs, but it's OK for the sake of compatibility).

Let's see what others say.

Cool! :)

I'm off to bed anyhow so I shall check back tomorrow, cheers for actually caring about those of us with issues with the program - very much appreciated. Can't wait to get it going :D

Good job!

You can install fake UNIX on your Windows machine. DevkitARM comes with MSYS, a "lite" version of fake UNIX, or you can get the full version at http://www.cygwin.com/.

yay!

I still never send and receive ink handwrite messages with the latest beup.
So far I can't use ink with Japanese MSN messengers and Windows Live Messengers.
Would you please tell me what versions of MSN messenger you can use ink function with?

And yes, it is hotmail I use.

Hello, I need help :(
check what it says :

Quote:

Connecting using firmware setup:
Searching...
Associating...
Acquiring host from DHCP...
Cannot connect.

.. eventhough I can connect to Nintendo Wifi Connection and I can use other Wifi apps. I'm using a supercard CF

my recommendation is to not use DHCP (even though it should work)
jump on a computer connected to your wireless network, and assuming your running Windows, go Start -> Run, then type command and press enter. when command prompt loads, type ipconfig and you should get something like this:

Code:

Microsoft(R) Windows DOS
(C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1990-2001.

C:\DOCUME~1\SEBBS>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.18
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

C:\DOCUME~1\SEBBS>

enter that info into your WiFi Connection settings on your DS, but change the last digits (after the last .) in IP Address to something else (i'm using 189) just make sure its less than 255 (inclusive) and that no other computer on the network is using that address

I get that when WEP's enabled. :/

I get MSN error 215 when trying to start a conversation with myself, heh.

WEP is still the cause for most of the problems concerning homebrew WiFi. I recommend using a separate AP (my old RT2500 PCI card still works just nicely :D ) locking it to DS's MAC address only and lowering it's TX rate. :)

MrD: That's probably MSN's anti-schizophrenia protection :D

Jus' curious, what does beup do if it can't find any N-WFC information already?

It just says 'Cannot connect'. Tested on my shiney new Lite ... :)
Anyways, there's a problem with DS Lite - the upper screen is blurry because of the subpixel anti-aliasing and it's using a bit different screen - kevinc, can you make a switch between the RGB and BGR mode? Thanks :)

There's absolutely no way to configure beup without a WFC enabled game?

There is - use FW-NITRO's preview .nds file - it's got a WFC settings manager built-in :)

I'd have to disagree; I use WEP all the time here and have yet to have a problem with it (WRT54G, have used several custom firmwares)

I tried it out and it's great. Though, I thought I'd mention...if someone tries to start webcam (it's probaly the same for other things also...but..i diden't test it...my sister...for some odd reason...started webcam while she knew i was on the DS with this :S) it freezes everything. ^^

Ya, I took my wep off to see if that would get me past the doing handshake thing but no go.

I got the same WiFi Router ^^ and yes.. I use wep too.. no problems over here ^^

But it crashes sometimes yes in a conversation :(

Authentication fails when I use my @msn.com account, but I just registered a @gmail.com one and it works...

Anyway when I start Beup the top screen reports it connects just fine, but the touchscreen is completely frozen. Nothing happens no matter where I press. So I have to shut the DS down. Anything else I can test?

Your problem is obviously not SSL-related. Are you using WEP? I've heard that leads to crashes sometimes.

Nope. Network Authentication Open. Encryption disabled. Connecting trough an Asus WL-167g with SoftAP.

Using channel 1. 802.11b only.

Hey!!1 Heyy !!!111 IT WORKS FOR ME :D

Ahh... entirely my fault. Turns out the WFC settings didn't have my WEP key. T'was just blank, which was strange. Chalk one up for the Supercard SD + 3com OFFICECONNECT ASDL Wireless 11g Firewall Router combo.

Okay, so then I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I can use later releases, sticks on the handshake for me, tried using different versions of msn too but nothing worked. How does the program know which msn on your network to try and handshake with? Just wondering if the other msn's on my network could be interfering.

workin absolutely perfect here, 200 contact and it loads it
perfect work kevinc

for all other people in here, lock your DS ip on your router and insert all the info on your DS manualy, it worked for me and no problems left!

See for me the worst part of this is that I really don't know what is the problem. It doesn't seem like it is my router since it is getting somewhere, and I can connect with games online. i'm gonna try and see if other wifi homebrew things work and can hopefully narrow down my problem.

kevinc.. why dont you check your PM :D

It doesn't seem to be working now that I'm using my DI-524 router with 128- bit WEP and open authentication. Stalling at doing handshake. It did work when I tried to connect through a SoftAP, sometimes. IP set manually, but using an ASCII WEP key. (I'm not sure if it keeps it in ASCII or converts it to HEX)
I did the whole switching the TX rate to 54 mbps on my router, which is supposed to make it work with the DS. It doesn't seem to be working right with anything though, so maybe it only works with official games.

i have the same exact router...
with the same exact settings,
128-bit WEP,
and i use the HEX for WEP...

works fine...
in mix broadcasting mode,
and SSID broadcast,
open system...

lol
on my DSL (only) it 1/3 times stalls at the same point...
but in general it works fine :)

i don't think it does convert ASCII to Hex in the WFC settings, so put it in as Hex in there and it should be fine

ya, I got mine to work perfectly at my brothers place no problem so it has to be my router settings that are screwing it up. I'll mess around and see if I can figure it out.

hmmm, weird got past the handshake once but that was it. not sure what I did different, but I haven't been able to repeat it. I have the dlink 524.

I can connect/login and view user list and everything but I can't send messages..
what is the problem.. I'm very serial about this!

Reminds me of the Fitaly keyboard for Palm OS which worked like this (you could drag it any way you liked if I remember correctly). A great feature.

But do you have the A revision, which doesn't normally work with the DS? And I'm using PPoE on my router, but I doubt that would make a difference.

I'd like to test Beup's 'ink' with somebody... is anybody about?

I've always had weird issues with 'ink' on my MSN here.

hi
i have been trying to set up beup on my ds but still after 2 hours no success.
i have m3 cf and i am using the official wifi usb connector
and i am wondering if it is the connectors fault...

immediately when beup opens it crashes.

says connecting through firmware or something like that and then cannot connect.
i can't press any button as if my touch screen is sort of broken...

any ideas???

In order for homebrew to connect to the internet via Nintendo's Wifi USB dongle you'll have to install other drivers for it, and run SoftAP (software access point). Search these forums for more info.

Hey i've started using this quite alot but occasionaly the DS will crash(or the program stops responding) and i have to restart the DS
Hardware: DS, Firmware: V7, Supercard CF, 512MB CF

PS:
If you want WEP testing then PM me and ill set up WEP on my router and test it

I'm using it with WEP enabled on my router just fine.

WEP 128bit works just fine...

hmm i'm using this guide

from Waffle... and it isnt working for me :\ can anyone give me a hand?
Once it starts Authenticating it hangs there for a while... then it says "Cannot Connect" can anyone tell me why?

i'm using the oficial Nintendo WiFi USB Connector btw

Thanks in advance :)

edit: i have also tested all types of WEP Encryption, Hexa & ASCII and so far nothing :(

Well, the problems I was having with handshakes and such seem to have been 100% fixed now. I think what might have done it was going in and assigning a static ip to my ds through my router, and then setting up my connection in the ds firmware manually instead of using dhcp. All I know for sure is that I'm not having any problems with DS Wifi homebrew whatsoever any longer.

Sounds like it. My method is to have DCHP on for the router (for other family PC connections), but I manually assign the IP, DNS, etc. values in the DS firmware setup myself, and it hasn't failed me so far.

isnt there like another method to connect to wifi, with instructions like the one i showed before. without using WEP and with DHCP.

I'm kinda newbie at this

Man this is driving me nuts...
I get stuck on the handshake every time. I have no trouble connecting to online games like mario kart but homebrew apps like this that use the firmware wifi settings seem to give me grief. I can use apps like bafio's wifi chat fine (that uses the wifi transfer settings right?) and as far as I can tell I have used the same ip's, gateways, etc. so I can't see why it has this problem.

Am I just missing something easy (do I have to do port forwarding on my router or something?) or is it something tricksy?

If anyone has any suggestions that could help I would be so happy :P

Try my suggestion of going into your router and assigning the DS a static IP and entering your settings manually into your DS. That should do the trick. If you need help doing that, let me know.
