Alright,

I'm satisfied with this enough to make the first release. Make sure you read the instructions!

This version is still very limited. I've only tested it with my linksys router, and a few AIM usernames. I hope that you are able to log in. We'll see.

Anyway, let me know if it works.

Thanks for the support!

Amazing! I've logged in and am chatting now! Thank you so much!

One request, if you're taking any. Is there any chance you could make it so it looks like the keyboard buttons are pressed down so I know I'm hitting the correct letter? In Beup, when you press down, the letter button that you hit changes color as you push it.

Thanks again so much!

brennan: you can send and receive. I've not seen this bug... what names? the names on the buddy list or the names elsewhere?

dafatkid27: Next release will have this.

Working

System: DS Lite
Firmware: Flashme v7
Card: G6 Lite Chinese

Bugs: If I IM someone with an alias "person" for example.. it opens up a conversation for them. However, when I receive an IM back, a new conversation is opened from "person:::w". Everything else seems fine so far.

Suggestions: As dafatkid27 said, it would be nice if the keyboard buttons changed color when you hit them. Also, I think the SEND button should be where the Enter key currently is. The SEND will get much more use than Enter.

Thanks for the great work!

Eck, sorry for posting again so quickly but Pinesal reminded me of something else I was going to bring up.

The first time I tried to connect I also froze. Not sure why. It would be nice if a window showing the connection steps appeared, so if you freeze you know which step its on.

Also, would be nice if the Buddy List could be navigated with the D-pad.

It shows up as...

:::w: yo.
:::w: hey

EDIT: And some of the names on my buddy list don't show up at all, just a space. (I know they are on because I'm also on the computer)
Come to think of it, these might be the names that are shoting up as :::w when I send them a message.

thanks!

I LOVE THE KEYBOARD in your software. Nice and big. I almost never miss a key. They layout works well, very usable interface indeed.

Alright, back wuth more requests/suggestions and comments.

1) I love the big keyboard, please keep it as is, just add the pushed button feature as above (which I know you already confirmed, thanks).

2) Make it so it says when someone signs off if you have a chat opened with them (just like in AIM, "suchandsuch has signed off" right below the last line of text).

3) Please add the ability to navigate the buddy list and chats opened box with the DS's D-pad.

4) Maybe make the chat dialog box a bit bigger and the area where you enter the text a bit smaller.

5) Please add an away message feature. For example, I want to be able to put up an away message that says, "On my DS, may type slow", or any other away message.

5 1/2) Maybe when you close the lid of your DS, your default away message goes on and your DS goes into standby?

6) Lastly, saving of things to SRAM, or even just the ability to create a configuration file beforehand that it reads (I have an SCSD). It would be great not having to type in my username and password every time, but again I understand that this was a preview release, and I thank you for it.

Again, thanks so much for this wonderful application. Also, I hope you know that these are suggestions and comments and not complaints. Hopefully you are able to incorporate some of these ideas soon, but I understand that it's not necessarily easy. Thanks in advance!

Ah thanks, didn't see that. :)

A lot of the names in my buddy list are blank.

Here's a conversation with my other SN. The blank SN is my PC SN. ":::w:Ron" is my DS SN

:::w: Hi
:::w:Ron: hi
:::w:Ron: whats up?
:::w: Nothing. You?
:::w:Ron: im using my ds!

Some sort of crazy bug?

Guys! Add AIM bots to your buddy list and you can access the yellowpages and movie times and stuff from your DS!

I get one black screen and white screen. :(

I'm using a NDS w/ fwnitro, and a flashcart.

it works awesome-ly! or something to that extent.

except most of the same things other people have asked about. i don't know how many of these you're already planning on adding, but here are my suggestions. many of these are small issues, or are only asthetic ones.

-be able to see when keys are hit.
-fix Usernames. many usernames show up as a blank space on the buddy list, and show up as ::w: on the chatting screen.
-add imsend and imrcv noises! just rip the default ones from aim.
-save login info on the login screen, and be able to mask password (ie, *****).
-sliding scroll bars.

other that that, it looks great!

btw, you asked what equipment we use to make it work, so here you go: Ds Lite, flashme v7, M3 SD, SanDisk 1GB SD card.

I haven't been able to try this yet because my internet is being too flakey, but I have a set of emoticons I started working on a while ago:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/mntorankusu/smile.png

In two different sizes! I'm not really sure what is missing from this set.

You can use them if you like. Or if you want me to make a new set at a specific size, I could do that too. Just, I can't make them any smaller than the small set here.

Hey guys,

glad its mostly working. This ::w: bug seems to be more common than I though.
If it is okay, post or PM me one of the screen names that come out as ::w? Also, is this only with names that have aliases? I'd like to fix this problem ASAP.

mntorankusu: those emticons look great to me, I'll use those if it is ok.

dualscreenman: I've def not seen this one. If others have this problem, let me know.

sinoth: The freezing you saw. was was "Connecting to WIFI" being displayed, or was it "Logging into AIM?" Sometimes it does hang there for awhile waiting for AIM to respond. I don't know if I can fix this problem yet.

Lots of good ideas on new features. I especially like the shutting the lid/away message. I'm working to put this stuff in as well. But I'm going to try to fix these other problems first.

If you guys want, I've tried to support most of the AIM errors. You should get a dialog box whenever an error is received. For example, someone sends you a message that is too long. It should also disconnect when your connection is down for about 30-45 seconds. If you guys want to test this, feel free.

Well, I'll get on these fixes and new stuff. I gotta go work now though.

Great. I'm working on some more of them right now.

Is there any chance of having animated emoticons? Some things like :lol: and :winky: can't be properly portrayed with still images. Not that it's particularly important, though.

Oh, and I got a chance to try the program out. The actual meat of the program, the IMing, works flawlessly. It's perfectly usable in its current state. I'd just like a way to have the username/password be saved and loaded from the CF.

Edit: Here's a new set of those emoticons. I made some new ones, and improved the old ones.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/mntorankusu/smile2.png

They are, in this order,

Code:

:) :( :| :D :P :S D: :\ 8) :O ;) O_O o_O O_o :'(

Thanks for this great application!

Maybe you should call it DS AIM/ICQ ;) because it works "fine" with my icq account, and here in germany icq is far more popular than AIM and i don't think everybody knows thats kind of the same thing.. i wasn't shure either.

i wrote "fine" because the progam freezes after a few minutes of chatting and i cant do anything but shutdown the DS.. the WiFi-LED is still blinking though..
also every once in a while it already freezes at "Connecting to WIFI"
Ds Lite/Supercard SD/Superkey in case you care ;)

Suggestions:
-Put a hook at the bottom of the small "J" it looks almost like the small "I"
-other keyboard layouts (german) would be nice, but that can wait ^^
-Send-button at the free space next to the space-bar
-remembering of login-infos (config file?)
-usage of the d-pad instead of the onscreen arrows
-better/bigger scrollbar for the received messages

Edit:
the freezing only seems to occur when you use a icq account, im really sad about that :(

Last edited by deshi on Fri Jul 28, 2006 2:40 pm; edited 1 time in total

no luck for me :(

my s\n gets though logging in, but the client seems to freeze after that

unable to type\get buddy list

and my brothers just dosnt log in

using

M3 Sd
Myflash Adata 4GB
SanDisk 1GB
Netgear router

anything im doing wrong?
or dose it not work with SD?

deshi: I've not tested it all all with ICQ. I knew the ICQ may of been compatible. When I get some time, I'll bring out my ICQ and try to find what causes the freeze.

2 2 5: Does the buddy list window come up when you hit R? Does the clock time change? I want to know if the program freezes or just the AIM portion.
It shouldn't matter, but if you are are using any capital letters in the username, try to keep them all lower case. I should of fixed that problem, but it might be a variant of that for your brother.

the clock dosnt change nor the list comes up

dosnt work with caps or not

2---2-5

hmm. It's not working for me. It connects and logs in, but then it just sits there and doesnt recieve my buddy list. The only button that works there is the caps lock button. :-\

using gbamp and max media launcher.

*EDIT*
I got on the computer and logged in on my other screen name, and it showed me logged in on the DS. so i started talking to myself and it works. but im still not getting the buddy list...
_________________
I don't know anything.

Please add a mobile flag if you can. So people can expect you to type slow :P

clone dad: you can still see the buddy list window after hitting R right?

If so, after sending an IM to your DS from your PC, set an away message up on the PC side and then see if at least your screen name from your PC is added to your DS buddy list.

Sometimes AIM express is slow to pick up all names on the buddy list I have heard. This may be the problem.

DSAIM will only add people to the buddy list window whenever AIM tells DSAIM the user is online/away/etc... AIM must not be sending this message.

first, thank you. this is the main app i've been waiting for. worked fine for me the on the first try.

DS phat
flashme v7 (stealth)
GBAMP

i only have one problem and suggestion (besides the ones above)

the problem: i was watching on my computer from a different account, and when i "signed off" DSAIM, it didn't sign me off. the account still said it was online and i could still send messages to it. you said you were going to fix the signoff issue, though, so this isn't really a complaint, but more of a warning to those who sign off and miss messages that people have sent to them afterwards.

suggestion: press "L" for shift. i'm not sure why, but without thinking i pressed L when i wanted to shift. i'm not sure what (if any) programs do this, but it's pretty good, and allows me to type faster, for me at least.

wonderful job, thank you.

Seconded, I just tested this and my username is still logged on, even though I turned off my DS. Also, I've signed on with my DS about 3 times total between last night and this morning, and when I just went on AIM on the computer, it sent me the AOL System Message notifying me that I was signed on from 3 locations.

But, I'm sure when a proper sign-off feature is implemented, this will stop happening. Thanks again!

I got it working. The router i was trying it on was a friends, and it was configured weird.

now that I see it, it's an amazing job. I don't get the ::w thing.

That, or have sliding upwards from the Enter key produce a Send. Think of it as sliding your message up into the Internet.

I really like that sliding idea. The only place I've seen it implemented is in DSOrganize, with the MessagEase keyboard. It's a great idea!

The sign off problem happens because the client never tells AIM that you've signed off. That hasn't been implemented yet. It will be in the next version. As of now, you have to wait for your name to timeout to sign off. Its an easy fix, I just need to implement a menu that allows the user to sign off.

I'll prob make the enter key send the IM. I just didn't do that for this release. I'll haven't tried DSOrganize, so I'm not familiar with the sliding key. I'll have to check it out.

clone dad: glad it seems to be working. Anyone with the ::w problem, please PM me one of the names/aliases that causes this so I can debug.

Linkiboy: Next release I'll have it.

For anyone who has a problem with the client freezing (clock stops working), I might release a debugged version that sends the program status to my machine so I can see where the freeze occurs. OR, I can release a PC client that will display debug messages, so you can tell me where in the program the freeze occurs.

I hope to get everyone's working before the next release and next set of bugs arrive :)

-Ryan

I think the screennames that show up as ::w are ones that have spaces in them.

You may be right, but I have a friend I've been talking to whose username has a space in it and it's working fine, no ::w or anything. I've been lucky enough not to encounter that bug thankfully.

Hrmm, I'm having issues logging in. Initially it would hang on connect to wifi so I figured it was DHCP issues, I booted up my trust WFC Enabled game and changed everything to static, I'm using the same DNS as my PC and I can connect to WFC just fine but when I try to connect to AIM I no longer hang at Wifi but I can't resolve the host. I suspected this was a DNS problem but the servers are the exact same. Thanks.

I would change back to your normal settigns you had before, and just retry a few times. I find sometimes that it just doesn't connect. He said it's a bug and you have to just reboot and try again.

Good work, man. Operational on my G6 3rd gen 4Mbit. Pretty bad ass. I'm people have suggested plenty of features so far, and I'm pretty much in agreement with all of them. I like the big keyboard, too. I'd just like to see the interface cleaned up a bit. Sorry to compare your preview to more established works, but I think beup is a great example for an interface. Very clean and no BS.

Keep it up, man! I can't wait to see your next release.

Hey good work on a working AIM client for DS. However it doesn't work on my EZ4 Lite. I also get one black screen and one white screen.

Working flawlessly on DS Phat w/ Flashme and DS Lite w/ Flashme and SCSD. I'm using the .ds.gba version and have my wifi connection set up manually. Great program, keep up the good work!

Here are my suggestions:
- Change the button's color when it is "pressed down" so that you can tell when you make a spelling error without looking at the top screen.
- Maybe make the cursor or something blink so you know the program hasn't crashed? I sat there for a minute wondering what to do... then I remember to read the readme. heh.
- Turn off the screens when the lid is closed, just to save battery life.
- Add a disconnect button or fix it so that you sign off as soon as your turn off your DS

Again, keep up the good work! This is an app I've been wanting ever since I got into DS homebrew.

Mine won't get past the Logging into AIM screen. :(

Any ideas what could be wrong?

EDIT: I have a router.. what should I do?

As the original poster requesting aim ds, I must explicitly say thank your Primetime. I love it! Sure avatars and icons and smiles would be great...but that's OK!

What I really would like is the little eye allowing youself to be hidden

Good job and keep up the good work.

Oh yeah...

I have a: ds lite, SC SD mini, Kingston 1 GB mini sd, D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G Wireless Router

Wow Primetime00 I just really want to thank you for all of your hard work! Now we have a working AIM program for the DS! Not to mention a working MSN and with Yahoo merging with MSN we have the big 3! Thanks for all the hard work as all of us on the boards appreciate it!

FifthE1ement

How do you send and IM to someone without them messaging you first?

Thank you for the support guys.

m3jsh: check out the readme.txt file. I don't have that implemented yet. but it will be soon.

elmnt61: Usually if it gets to the Logging into AIM screen, then your router is fine. Let me know what your other specs are please.

Thanks for the reply.

It's a "Super Card SD" Cart that takes a mini 1GB SD.

I bought my DSlite in Hong Kong, so it came "modified" as they call it. So all I have to do is stick the GBA cart in, and turn on the system, and your file will play on both screens. So there is nothing in the DS slot.

I have a linksys router. Are there ports I should open? DNS servers i should put in? What could be the problem?

I can play other online games fine with this router and this DS.

I keep trying to control the arrow keys with the DS dpad. I think that would be kind of a nice feature.

Oh, and I didn't mention before what I'm running on. GBA MP with Kingston Elite Pro 256MB, Flashme v5, DS Phat. Works great.

ok heres my specs
Super Card MiniSD LITE
EZPass3

First try: connecting to wifi.... (froze)
Second try (another sn): froze after connecting no buddy list nothing worked
third try: Same as second
forth try: yet again froze on connecting to wifi
fith try: froze after connecting again

I know all these bugs will be worked out and ive been waiting for an aimds for SO LONG. The best part is the keyboard, it can type so fast on it.

EDIT: Im an idiot it doesnt freeze I didn't know R brings up the buddy list i thought it was suppose to load in the window on the left, so works perfectly so far except for the connecting lockups

Last edited by battleroyalex on Sat Jul 29, 2006 3:29 pm; edited 1 time in total

ok tried it on my other flash card

Ez Flash 4 Lite
ezpass3

doesn't boot up at all.

Finally got it working :) My only suggestions would be, add emoticons and add a signal strength bar along the top so I know where my wifi coverage ends :) Thanks for a great application.

Hmmm. Alright Primetime..

I tried another screen name and it works everytime.

But it still won't work with my main screen name.

I also tried another screen name, and that didn't work either. What could that be>

MSN and Yahoo messenger are merging?

Hm, Im using an EZ-Flash 3 2Mbit flashcart, I get 2 white screens.

Great news, got mine to work

made a new screen name, works great

tyvm for the work done and going to be done on this great program

2---2-5

Cool,

For everyone having problems signing on with certain names, could you PM me your screen name. I won't use them in any way. I'd just like to see if there are any similarities.

Thanks.
-Ryan

Just thought of another idea, maybe switch the buddy list button to L instead of R so you don't have to move your right hand to pull up your buddy list? Also, maybe allow scrolling with the d-pad, too.

I PM'd a little better explanation but I just wondered if anyone else got a username with an organized list of friends (IE Buddies, Work categories like that) to go alright? All three of mine failed - the only one I could get to work was a username I had with just a few buddies on it.

Awesome program though

Awesome program though

Mine's working fine. Mine is also organized (Buddies, School Friends, Recent Buddies) and I'm having no problems.

www.thevir.us/howitype.jpg

This is what I use to type. Please replace the ENTER key with the SEND key. There's no point in having an ENTER key when using AIM. If I want to type multiple lines, I hit shift+enter.

Hmmm... I have been looking forward to an aim program ever since Beup came out. It sounds like you did a great job with it! Unfortunatley, mine either hangs while connecting to wifi, connects but only gives me the bottom screen with something ocassionally flickering over it, or an empty buddy list and then the application freezes. Im sure most of it is something on my end, so I'll make sure im close enough to my router, and once over everything, then get back to you. On the other hand, i absoultley love the keyboard, most certainly its one of the nicest (with the issue that the key needs to change colors when pressed) ive worked with!

What's it mean when it "failed to connect to WiFi"? I can play on-line games on my ds just fine with this router setup (linksys). What am I missing?

picto-chat predator: Connecting to wifi is done the settings in firmware (the WFC settings that are set up in any DS commercial game.) If you using DHCP to connect in WFC games, then this is probably why its not working. You need to probably manually set up an IP address instead of DHCP. I Think...

TheVirus:

You are crazy.
The enter key will send IMs in future releases.

Later this week maybe, I'm going to release a version 0.01d which will send the program status back to a server running on my machine so that I can see where freezes/login failure occurs. I will need a few volunteers to run this version a few times for me. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks again
-Ryan

I think all a new release needs is your account name+pass is saved so you dont have it type it in everytime. And the enter being send.

But this has surpassed NDSmail as my favorite homebrew.

please add a d/c option in 0.1d its the only reason i dont use this i stay logged on and people are still trying to contact me

It's hanging at "logging in to AIM".
My name does have a space in it. Could that be a problem?

WOW. amazing program. you are a SAINT. the only thing i would reccomend is maybe some sound (clicky sound when you click they keys and an im sound would be cool) and for the keys to change color when you click them. other than that, it may as well be a final release, nothing "alpha" bout' this.

I'd like to find out why its hanging on the login for some of you guys. It does every once in awhile with me, but i just restart the program and it works. If its hanging on the .NDS version try the .gba.ds version just for the heck of it.

I'll release a debug version in a few days so I can see where it is hanging. If it is hanging where i think it is... It may be either the AIM server or the wifi libraries. We'll see.

-Ryan

I think it's because of the buddy list size. I tested dsAIM with three AIM accounts.

Acct #1 (224 buddies) = hangs & produces static noise @ login
Acct #2 (200 buddies) = same as #1
Acct #3 (1 buddy) = works flawlessly

Just a speculation. Maybe DS AIM only shows the online buddies but will still have to check through all the buddies on the list to see if they're on, and 200 is just too much ATM?

Anyhow, great app! I look forward to the next releases, and will be glad to aid you if you need help :)

My setup is as follows:
DS Lite w/ Flashme v7 + SuperCard SD w/ 1 GB 150x A-data Turbo
Network: BEFW11S4 (WEP 64-bit, 1-2mbps max, DHCP enabled) -> WRT54Gv2 (WPA) -> DSL modem

marzxbarz: is that 200 names that are currently online, or just a 200 name buddy list? (online and offline)

200 in the buddy list, 30-60 online

I was also thinking that.. my buddylist has over 200 people... that could be why it never works for my 2 screennames that have over 200 :p

First....Primetime....we love you. Second...um.....well lots more people love you. And now for my only comment....not all screennames display on the buddylist(someone probably told you this already), they often only display the status as idle or away.

Ill gladly test that debug version also.

Kung Fu: Can you give me a screen name that doesn't show up? I'll add it to my list to see if it shows up on mine. Also, does the name use an alias?

-Ryan

It is either the 200+buddies or multiple groups that makes it freeze. I just imported the buddy list from a non-working acount into a working one, and the working one no longer works.

I will have to test this. How many groups do you have?

I will run a test where DSAIM thinks it is using a buddy list with many groups and many buddies and see if this causes it not to work

11 groups. I also have some people duplicated in two groups, and some cellphone numbers. (+11234567890)

The ones I have that hangup have 4 groups - over 200 contacts total though.

System:

Pre-2005 USA NDS
Supercard SD Version 1
Superpass Version 1

Works like a charm. No issues whatsoever.

FEW SUGGESTIONS (that have probably already been listed:
1.) Include away message function(s)
2.) Light up keys when you hit them
3.) P0r7 th3 l@t3st AIM f0r m33 t00 t@lK tO mY pAlLlZzzZ!!1!1 (Just kidding :) )

Keep up the great work!!!

Ok, so I assigned an ip to my ds manually and now I can finally connect to my router but after it says "logging into AIM..." I get an error saying "cant resolve host...". What the fizzy?

Please help me, I feel like I am ever so close and I really want some DSAIM goodness!

picto-chat predator: Does it give you this error consistently? Try both the .NDS and .gba.ds files. This error means that DSAIM was unable to convert the host name for AIM into an IP address.

What router do you have?

Yes, i get this error consistently with both files. I have a Dell 2350 router. Thanks for your help, I feel like Im pretty close to getting this going....

Primetime00: mabe his router wasnt compadible with the old wifi lib. mabe the new and improved wifi lib 0.3a @ http://www.blog.akkit.org/ thank you for making this. btw does this work with aol users excepte for the email part im getting my flashcart fixed and just wanted to know! Thank you,

Jake

Locks up before name/password screen with MMP(max media player). I can see the chat box and keyboard, but it locks up after its drawn and before login box.

The wifi lib i'm using a couple weeks old from CVS. There has been a few updates, i'll try recompiling the new lib into DSAIM. I'll put it in my 0.01d version. There won't be any new features in the d version yet, just some fixes hopefully.

I turned off my WEP and it works! However I cant see anything other than the chat box and keyboard so someone has to IM me first. But hey, it works so thats cool. Any idea why it only works when my WEP is off?

Okay,

I have another version available (0.01d) ONLY for the people having problems the sign on process hanging on "Logging into AIM."
I'll work on the other problems next.

This release will give the user detailed status about the log on. Please post which step you notice the freeze on.

This version uses the most recent version of the wifi lib, hopefully that fixes the problem.
(There is a very good chance this problem is due to the wifi lib)

http://www.ryankegel.com/download.php?dsaim=2
Let me know where it freezes.

Works for me now! Great work. Oh yeah, one of my buddies on my buddy list shows up as "::::smelly", I think it has something to do with a buddy comment I stored for him.

It says "logging into AIM..." and then it says "resolving host.." and then it says "could not resolve host..."

This is with my WEP on btw. I can connect fine without WEP, only all I can see is the chat window and the keyboard.

This program rocks thanx for the fast updates!

Just tested it. It froze when after the third config lookup:

-looking for config...-
-got something...-
-looking for config...-
-got something...-
-looking for config...- (frozen)

tsunami0ne: That helps, I that might solve the problem the others are having too, I will have to add some buddy comments and see what happens.

picto-chat predator: Any clock? Does the R trigger show the buddy list?

marzxbarz: Usually if it freezes here, it is waiting for AIM to send your buddy list to you. Are you able to sign on AIM express?

Anyone: If any of you can donate a dummy sn/password that consistently freezes on login, that would help my debug process.

-Ryan

Without WEP enabled the program works perfectly (the shoulder button DOES bring up the budddy list, doh!). With WEP enabled, i get "can't resolve host".

This is shaping up to be "the" dsaim :)

Yeah, I'm able to sign onto AIM Express with the accounts that freeze on dsAIM.

Not sure if you wanted me to repost, but I figured I would just to be safe. Still freezing for me between initial screen draw and any login or config windows popping up.

Primetime...you asked for a sn that didn't show. phyreboi101 is one. And not thats it's important (i dont im people on their phones anyway....) but all names on mobile devices do not show.

Thanks again for the awesome program.

Kung Fu: Thanks, so I take it this name is a mobile user too? Do you have any comments or phone numbers stored under this name?

Yes it is. It seems like all names signed to a cell phone as well as a computer dont show. Anf by comments...you mean messages...sorry I'm a bit confused.

Sorry, in Gaim, you can give each username a comment. Also, I added the username you gave me to see if I have the same problem with the name not showing up, but it does still show up. Approx how many people are on this buddy list?

hmmm.....65-70. The name might have been signed on to a computer only then. Like i said i think it only happens when people are on cell phones or other mobile devices. Not really a big deal.

Alright, I'll have to keep looking to see what comes up.

I think I fixed the problem with screen names showing incorrectly in the buddy list and chat list window. I'll put that in the next debug release.
I've also tried a buddy list with around 250 people in it. I'm still able to log in and get the whole list. I'm having a hard time reproducing the problem of freezing on login.

I might release a version that won't wait for the buddy list to arrive before logging on. This way everyone should be able to log in fine, but might not have a buddy list until AIM sends it and the DS receives it.

For people that are having the freezing problem in the beginning or before the login screen draws... I might release a wifi client that DSAIM can talk to so that you can see where the freeze is occuring. If you are having this problem, and know how to run a windows program from the command prompt, let me know and i'll send you the software (in a few days)

-Ryan

Any fix in the works for people who can't use DSAIM with WEP enabled?

The strange thing is that I use WEP and have mobile phones on my buddy list, but I'm not having any problems; everything works fine.

Well, I'm not using WEP, but i'm still getting mobile users to show up correctly also...

I know you're probably only working on fixing bugs right now, but I can't wait until you make DSaim play a sound when you receive messages. It'll be helpful.

Keep up the good work!

Still freezes at "Logging in to AIM". I have a buddy list with some phone numbers and comments.
Your program is still better than AIM Express, which doesn't seem to work at all, for any screen name.

ssj4android: have you tried the 0.01d version? it will give you details of where it froze.

I'm using the same servers as AIM Express, so if that is down, DSAIM should be down too. Who knows...

It freezes on the third "looking for config"

yeah, the third waiting for config is usually when DSAIM is waiting for a buddy list to arrive. Either AIM isn't sending it, or DSAIM isn't receiving it. If DSAIM isn't receiving it, then it might be a problem with the wifi lib.

*Unfortunately*, every name I use to sign on receives the buddy list...

If any of you know how to use WinPcap and WinDump, you can see if the buddylist data is coming in... If so, wifi lib just isn't picking it up for some reason.

I'll keep working on it.
-Ryan

WAY cool program Primetime00! I've been waiting for AIM for the DS and this program is the bees knees. The only thing is I have to turn off my WEP to use it, but otherwise it's everything I need. Thanks for the hard work and the kick ass DSAIM.

PS- If you want to see what more people are saying about your program, check out the thread at M3 forums:

http://www.m3-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=3522

hi i was wondering how did people with an m3 cf card upload this onto their card. did you all use the game manager or just drag and drop it?

ive tried both but cant get it to load.

thanks

In almost all cases, installing homebrew involves drag and drop. Some apps (e.g. MoonShell) come with their own setup programs that generate the correct files directly on the CF card.

DragonMinded let a few volenteers controll the Database so there can be even more downloads for the db, i am one of the volenteers and that is how.
and if you mean the downloading part. Dragonminded lets us upload files and
then using the script in some wierd way, the ds can download strait to your flash cart! But lets stay on topic. so you can pm me if you want to disscuss more or ask questions as i am up to doing that!

Hey Primetime00, this program TOTALLY ROCKS! It doesn't work when my WEP is on, but otherwise, it's almost perfect. I know it's been requested a zillion times, but keyboard keys that light up would be most helpful. Keep up the fantastic work! How much longer do you think until we get another update?

pretty soon

I'm trying to fix a few bugs, although DSAIM works fine with my linksys router. Some problems could be caused by incompatible/low compatible routers. I'm trying to find other routers to try it on, but none are in my range.

Anyway, I'll have the keyboard flash the key in the next version.

Did you find the cause of some buddy lists not working? If not, I could probably send you an AIM account with a clone of my buddy list.

Primetime, I don't know if you've figured this out already or not (I don't want to read all the pages that have been posted since the last time i checked here) but all the the usernames that show up blank on the buddy list are the ones with comments stored for them (I believe). hope that helps.

ssj4android: I'm still not sure why some lists work and some don't. I'm hoping it's a router problem, but I'm not entirely sure. I need to find another router to run some tests on.

Oh, one more suggestion. It would be cool if you could sign out, and then sign in with a different name without having to shut the DS off. Also, away messages would be rad. Either way though. Don't stop a-rockin!

any idea when a new version will be available? i'm going on a trip in late august, and if i had NDSMail, DSAim, and the homebrew database (not to mention my imported DS Opera Browser) I could stay completely connected to the internet.

great program but i dont have many aim friends, do you still work on the icq version?

I will look into ICQ here eventually. I'm working to release a new version sometime this month.

Forget ICQ! That sucks! Primetime, do you think there will ever be a day where I can leave my wifi settings on auto-detect instead of manually putting in all the IP info? It would be nice to use this program in places other than my own home.

I'm working on that too

hello primetime, one suggestion is to save the username and password saved in the sram or something so it is one less thing to do when you log in!
ive been waiting for this app for ever. pm me if you ever need any help.(but i cant code so dont ask bout that ;])

It is a router problem. :( It works with my SoftAP, but not with my DI-524.

This is what I was afraid of.
I'm hoping in the next dswifi, there is more compatibility with routers.

I'm going to try to put in a network setup in the next version, so you can scan for routers just like the dswifi lib test program.

I've put in a proper sign off procedure, away messages, keyboard lighting, and a few other misc things. I'll try to get another version out by the end of the month.

-Ryan

I hope this doesn't sound nit-picky, but I just wanted to offer suggestions that might help out the cause. This program rocks so hard. Could you possibly have a key repeat itself quickly when you hold down a button? It would make editing comments easier and quicker. If you really want to go nuts, you could also add a "End" button to skip to the end of the comment you've typed. Anyway, keep up the rockin' work

I was thinking about doing something like that.
for example, holding left and hitting backspace will delete the previous word.
holding left and hitting the left touch button moves back one work, the opposite for holding right.

holding up and down will act as an end and home button.

Something along those lines anyway.

-Ryan

and I assume the same controls will be mapped to ABXY for us lefties? ;D

ive previously read that people are getting the black screen on top and white screen on bottom and it freezing when trying to load dsaim. i am getting the same thing.

is anyone else having problems loading the dsaim with ezflash4. any solutions?

some people told me to change it to .bin and some people told me to change it to NOR memory when loading gba.

i have not been able to get anything but the black and white screen.

any feedback would be awesome!

Guys need to read the instructions that I've included. I worked so hard on that readme

Seeing how this is the 1st development, this is pretty good. I don't need to list the problems because everyone else has done so. I can't wait till you make an update.

FYI I'm using the Passcard 3 and M3 MiniSD just in case you needed to know.

I would, however, like to cosign on the person that requested some control changing for us lefties lol. I know I can probably do without it but it would just make it a little easier. Like for instance, someone said when you hold down the L button, it is like pressing the SHIFT button. That's great. I would like to be able to change the controls so that i can press it on the R button instead. Just things like that. and to have a SEND button on the left side as well.

But it's totaly up to you. This is great so far for what it is. I can't wait for future updates. Thanks for working on this.

The end of the month is coming up like a rocket, Primetime.

I don't suppose you found a way to work around the router issue, did you?

Quote:

Not yet since I've only got my router to test on. Althought now there is a network setup built in so that you can try other settings. I don't know if that will help or not.

The login screen has a bit more wifi connection info in it too now. So you can see at which point the router does not connect or freeze. Mine freezes on authentication when I try to use other people's routers in my appt. I hope that higher router compatiblity is available soon.

-Ryan

I don't know how easy this would be to implement, but are there any plans for a signal strength bar?

Keep up the good work!

That would be good.

Alright, here is my next version of DSAIM. DSAIM 0.02e
Thanks to everyone for the comments on the last release. I have one request... I've always refered to my project as D-SAIM. Not DS AIM.

Anyway,

Changes in this version that I can remember:
*Might of fixed buddy name displays. Maybe no more ::xxx names.
*Keyboard lights up. (Most of the time)
*Network setup (Press SELECT at login screen)
*IM users by inputting their names.
*Get buddy profiles.
*Set away messages.
*DS will set away message and power off screens when lid is closed.
*Proper sign off feature.
*UP/DOWN buttons scroll through buddy list.
*Fixed misc bugs

If you are stuck on something, make sure to check out the readme file first.

Grab it here http://www.ryankegel.com/download.php?dsaim=1

Questions / Comments are welcomed. If your feature isn't in here don't fret. I haven't forgotten and will work on them.

Hope you enjoy it,
-Ryan

Great Job! I really love the feature where when you close the DS, your away message goes up.

I'm still playing with it but one thing I noticed is that when I press select and then choose to type in an away message, once I type in what I want the away message to say, there is no way to press the OK button. I've tried everything. Maybe someone else can get it to work. But otherwise, everything is great so far.

for right now, to get to OK/CANCEL press SHIFT and then UP or DOWN.
I think I put that in the readme file.

Oh ok. Sorry, I should have read the readme file. lol

Thanks so much for all of your hard work Ryan! This is a really great app!

FifthE1ement

Very impressive! Thank you muchly, Primetime.

My only complaint is that I have to put in my username and password every single freakin time...

But other then that, 10/10 goodness!

I'm now just getting "AIM closed the connection" on the screen name I was having trouble with.

Quote:

With another screen name on your PC, add the bad screen name onto your PC buddylist. Then try signing on DSAIM again with the bad screen name and tell me if this name shows up on your PC buddylist before you get the error message. I'm not entirely sure it's signing on at all.

-Ryan

Yep, it shows it as signing in then signing right back off. And another account logs in fine. I'll test it later with a different AP. (Does the WiFi library connect to APs with SSID broadcasting turned off? Guess I'll find out)

someone make sure this gets added to the homebrew database! i'm on vacation and can't download to my SD card, but i do have wifi access!

im having trouble connecting to my wifi, the old version of dsaim works fine, as do all my wfc games, but with dsaim .02e it says "acquiring ip" then "failed to connect to wifi" each time i try to connect, im have tried all the different network settings. any idea why this isnt working now.

have:
ndsl
m3 sd
linksys wrt54gs

the router shows that my ds is connected in the dhcp clients table and is given an ip...yet the experiation time is only 60 seconds.

phyl0x: I use the same router. You might try using a static IP just to see if that works. Also, try using the wifi lib test to see if that connects.

Zeep wrote:

Those letters are so close together you can interpret it anyway you want. I prefer DSAIM with the pronunciation D-SAIM.

Zeep, I can't believe you make me rush this release and then you don't even get it before you leave.... :)

-Ryan

Not my fault you posted it late.

It still hasn't been added to the Homebrew Database, but I managed to make my OWN homebrew database and donwload it. now it won't launch on my m3. :cry:

Edit: now it works. yay!

just in case you hadn't noticed, the keyboard on the login screen still doesn't light up when you touch it, and the password still isn't masked. you should have the ability to unmask the password (since it's easy to make a typo on the touchscreen), but it should be masked by default.

Yes, I noticed that the keyboard didn't seem to be different when logging in.

I've had no problems other than that, all of my accounts work fine with it. Beyond saving the username/passwords for your account, this program is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.

By the way, I too love the new feature of closing the lid to set Away, that's just brilliant

Keyboard lighting seems to work for me.
I'll look into it further.

-Ryan

This program is cool

I found one problem.

If I receive a message with some non-standard characters, like umlauts for example, the prog just freezes. Thing you could get that worked out, in the next release?

Otherwise, I love this thing. Great work!

i got the static ip thing to work, but i still cant figure out why the automatic dhcp firmware settings dont work anymore, i have both versions of dsaim on my m3 and the old version still connects automatically, while the new one requires the static. has anything changed?

Anga: Thanks, I'll look into this problem.

phyl0x: Does DHCP work after you use the network setup instead of firmware? I'll take a look at my code again and check if something is different.

-Ryan

Will this ever get a signoff button I've been waiting for awhile :(

it has one, sign on, press select, click on sign off and boom! there you go!

I also have noticed that the keyboard doesn't light up when on the login screen, but works fine otherwise.

Another thing I've noticed is that whenever I try to log in to AIM, it works up until "Logging in..." and then it hangs for about 30 seconds and goes back to "Press SEND to login...". I press send, and it logs in almost instantly. Not a major problem, and it may be a wifi thing, but thought you ought to know.

That why you use 0.02e.

It still doesn't work with Max Media Player 4GB HDD. Btw, the 4GB HDD is pretty much a Mass Storage Device, and (from my experience) all FAT support MUST be disabled to get anything to work on it. Many homebrew apps give the user that choice. I'm not really sure what the problem is, all I know is that I get no login screen at all, it just goes straight to the keyboard and two big white circle things at that top, where I guess the conversations are supposed to be. After that, it doesn't seem like I can touch anything. I hope you can fix this eventually.

Everything's working great. I like the close-away feature. I'm still waiting for sound. Once it gets sound, I'll be using my DS for AIM a lot more.

EDIT: I also noticed that my SN with the buddy list full of commented friends is displayable now. Great work!

EDIT #2: One suggestion, when typing, make it on the release of the stylus to type things, instead of when pressing it. Say you put the stylus down, and then you drag it, the keyboard lights up following your stylus, but when you let go, it doesn't type that key. Does it make any sense?

now put a built in mp3 player and i'll use this forever

I hope this give you some info. I downloaded dsaim .02 and put it right on there and it looked like it was working fine. it asked me for my username and password but it kept saying it failed to connect. I did this like 3 times and then tried to manually enter in the dns. well since ive done that, dsaim will start but then the top is just white. So then I erased it and reloaded the fresh copy on but the top is still white, I cant enter anything and the buttons and stylus does nothing *just in dsaim* I even tried deleting all my wifi configs from my other games just in case with no help. I'd like to get this to work, does anyone know why it wont go back? thanks

Some of the little bugs, like when you open your buddy list, sometimes an extra button is registered and it closes a millisecond later, could be fixed with timers so that you can't open or close the buddy list too fast. Stuff like that.

thank you.. i love this application :)

sailoranna: Strange, DSAIM does not do any writing to your card nor does it read it for any files. If you are having trouble at startup, it could be 1 of 2 things. Either its a graphical problem, or a network initialization problem. I'm working on the graphical problem, and maybe the new wifi release will help something. Look for a new version to come out soon.

molopo: will be fixed in the next release soon.

For anyone having trouble with connection in 0.2 and not in 0.1... I'm working on this, although the code seems to be the same as before, I'm not too sure whats causing this problem...

Has anyone gotten DHCP to work in DSAIM? It seems to only connect to my router at home. I seem to get stuck in authentication for all other routers. This is the same in the wifi lib test too.

I was just wondering if anyone has gotten DHCP to work on other routers that aren't your own.

Thanks
-Ryan

i read that it works with icq, too!?
is that correct? i read it in a forum, where several people said they have connected to icq without problems, they just took they UIN as username.
because aol bought icq and so....

still cant try it out, dont have a wlan here or in my near.

I am a huge AIM fan and after using it a ton at my house, and trying to connect at different places, here's my list of bugs, and stuff that should be changed (easy enough to do i'd think) for the next version....

Problems & Bugs
- If you put in your username and password, then go to the WEP setup, and go back, your username and password are gone
- When you put in the 128 wep or another box that is in the top screen, there's no way of sending the information (enter makes a new line, and send does nothing)
- After failing to connect to WiFi, the program just freezes, so you have to turn the system off and back on again

What should be added:
- Username and Password should be able to be saved
- Refresh AP list quicker
- Get rid of "Network Setup is Complete" screen.
- Instead of Send, Warn, Block... change the Warn and Block to one giant Send box (on the bottom), and on top where send used to be make that menu (aka the functions of hitting the Start button)

I was away during the weekend and was able to connect to a router using DHCP. I did have a problem of constantly disconnecting a few minutes after connecting, but it might have been because I was like more than 30 feet away from the AP.

For those, hit shift first and then down to select the OK/Cancel options.

Great app! I just found 01e earlier today, and then while my gf was playing princess peach, found that 02e had also been released.

Great improvements!

I just have a few suggestions about text input...it would be nice to be able to use the buttons to enter text. I'm imagining something like what they do for cell phones.

The 8 directions + neutral of the D-Pad point to the 9 number keys and Y, X, B select the first/second/third character (or use all 4 * 9 = 36 keys).

Also something like T-9 text prediction with a dictionary would be nice.

This is something that perhaps a lot of home brew apps could use, not just AIM.

Know anyone working on something like this, or anyone that would wanna give me a hand getting started (new to NDS development in general... but MS in comp sci).

But which key would you assign to each direction+button? And how would you represent this keyboard on the screen? If you don't know how to prototype this on the DS, then you perhaps could prototype it on Microsoft Windows using a USB joypad.
