-- TUTORIAL --
(Turning a USB Wi-Fi (Ralink) to Nintendo Wi-Fi)
Thanks goes to Krasny for his tutorial that this guide based on.

USB Wi-Fi with Ralink RT2500 chipsets will work with this tutorial. http://ralink.rapla.net



What we need:
* Ralink based USB Wi-Fi adapter
* Nintendo official USB Wi-Fi drivers
* Need to know the PID and VID of the USB device
* a Hex editor (XVI32 for example)

What we are doing is to edit these Nintendo USB driver files to get the Nintendo drivers support our own USB Wi-Fi adapter:
rt25usbap.inf
INST.INI
ICSAPI.DLL
SoftAP/DEVREMOVE.INI
SoftAP/ISCAPI.DLL
SoftAP/WIFICON.DLL


This tutorial uses one example PID & VID values, Please use the right values for your Wi-Fi USB.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finding out the PID and the VID of the adapter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We need to know the PID and the VID of our device.
There are several forms to see it.

For example you can find it from your original drivers INI file.

It looks like this:
USB\VID_14B2&PID_3C02\5&39FED2B0&0&8
(that is from Conceptronic C54RU).

We only need that "VID_14B2&PID_3C02" part.

If we still have not installed Nintendo drivers Windows will show us the device as 802.11g WLAN Adapter (for example).


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the drivers and needed software
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

First we need a Nintendo official Wi-Fi drivers (download the latest one).
Official (US) download site (versions up to 1.04)
Direct download link: Latest Wi-Fi driver

We also need a hex editor. I prefer the "XVI32".
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

When we have downloaded and uncompressed the files we install the xvi32.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Editing rt25usbap.inf file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We start with the rt25usbap.inf file.
Open the file with Notepad

We look for line that says:
%Ralink.DeviceDesc% = RALINK.ndi, USB\VID_0411&PID_008B

And we replace it with:
%Ralink.DeviceDesc% = RALINK.ndi, USB\VID_14B2&PID_3C02

Now we save and close that file.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Editing INST.INI file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next we open the INST.INI with Notepad.

We look for:
[WINXP]
0,Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
1,USB\VID_0411&PID_008B

We replace that with:
[WINXP]
0,Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector
1,USB\VID_14B2&PID_3C02

Then we look for:
NO_COMPLETE0=BUFFALO WLI-PCI-OP
NO_COMPLETE1=BUFFALO WLI-U2-KAMG54 Bootloader

And we replace that with:
;NO_COMPLETE0=BUFFALO WLI-PCI-OP
;NO_COMPLETE1=BUFFALO WLI-U2-KAMG54 Bootloader

Now we save and close that file.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Editing DEVREMOVE.INI file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then we open the SoftAP folder and open the DEVREMOVE.INI with Notepad.

We look for:
[WLAN]
#WLA-U2-G54
PID0=USB\VID_0411&PID_008B

We will replace that with:
[WLAN]
#WLA-U2-G54
PID0=USB\VID_14B2&PID_3C02

And we save the file and close it.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Editing ICSAPI.DLL file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we will modify the other files with hex editor program.

We start XVI32.

File -> Open -> ICSAPI.DLL

Search -> Find...

(*) Text string
[ ] as Unicode Lation *uncheck*

Write: VID ]
And press "OK".

Look at the right window.
You see the same VID and PID string.
You need to click there and edit the values from:
USB\VID_0411&PID_008B
to:
USB\VID_04B2&PID_3C02

(That 0411 is the default Nintendo aka Buffalo string. Those Nintendo adapters are made by Buffalo.)

Next we do the same edit's for the ICSAPI.DLL and the WIFICON.DLL in the SoftAP folder. The process is exactly the same so I don't make any details about that.

Now the files are DONE!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Wi-Fi USB adapter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have drivers installed for you adapter you need to remove them:

Uninstall the USB connector through the Device Manager:
* Make sure you have the USB Connector plugged into your computer.
* Click the Start button and select Control Panel.
* Click "System" and select the "Hardware" tab. Choose "Device Manager."
* Next to "Network Adapters," click the "+" to expand the list.
* If the USB Connector is in the list, right-click it and choose "Uninstall."

After it's done please remove the adapter.

Now you start the Nintendo USB setup.exe file in the drivers folder.
You will need insert the USB adapter when asked.
That should work.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I uninstall the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector software?

Please follow these steps on your computer to remove the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector software:

1. Uninstall the USB connector through the Device Manager.

* Make sure you have the USB Connector plugged into your computer.
* Click the Start button and select Control Panel.
* Click "System" and select the "Hardware" tab. Choose "Device Manager."
* Next to "Network Adapters," click the "+" to expand the list.

Really nice :)
What but what is actually better in 1.02?

#64911 - darkfader - Wed Dec 28, 2005 1:58 pm

Also... why would anyone do this? I use the original software for my Wifi USB stick and it already has some AP software. Does it have limits? Does it only allow DS MAC addresses or something?

#64923 - Dudu.exe - Wed Dec 28, 2005 3:40 pm

The earlier setup v1.01 did not manage to share Internet connection in every PC (mine for example).
I have no idea if there have been other bug fixes. So you don't need to install that new version if the old one worked fine (if it ain't broken, don't fix it).

You are questioning this guide. I only made it so ppl can use their existing USB dongles with their DS. I have two USB sticks and I can't get them to work with DS (even tried w/o firewall).
Maybe I'm just a noob, but that modified Ni-Fi driver works with other (Ralink) sticks just like the official stick (from Buffalo).
You are very welcome to make a guide how to use common USB Wi-Fi sticks with DS w/o Ni-Fi driver/software.

Xtreme, a lot of thanks 4 translate and improve my how-to, it can be very helpful!. I?ll modify conceptronic drivers to 1.02 :)

Darkfader not every usb-sticks has SoftAp driver, and tweak it for work is a little bit complicated that use nintendo wi-fi driver.

http://rapidshare.de/files/9998262/Nintendo_1.02_C54RU.rar.html --> conceptronic C54RU 1.02 :)

#65003 - Sektor - Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:25 am

SoftAP works on every ralink, it is more complex but offers more control. If you just want to play WFC games and don't care about using your wifi card for anything else then this is fine.

Thanks for the tutorial! I used it for my gigabyte GN-WBKG wireless LAN usb. I would like to help by uploading my modified driver. Send me a private message with a place where to send the modified files (i used the v 1.02). I would also suggest to put the links for the available modified files at the beginning of the explanation otherwise you might do like I did: i did everything and THEN I saw the available files. Fortunately they were not for my card.

Hey Xtreme, i have this dutch USB adapter called "Promedion". No idea what chipset and version it is. I tried the tutorial but it hangs while installing using setup.exe. At the part where it tells you to connect your Wi-Fi USB connector.
Can i mail you the drivers, so you can check them out?

[edit] With the normal drivers included in the USB stick, i can connect to Nintendo WFC, only problem is that searching for friends isn't working.

Mithos wrote:

Whats new on 1.03:
In this version, the below problems from version 1.02 have been fixed:
1. The error code is now displayed when a shared setting error occurs.
2. The problem that caused error 51303 to occur was fixed.
3. The problem that occurred during Internet connection determination was fixed.
4. Settings are now set to their default values when a shared setting error occurs.
5. The following problem was fixed: if the shared settings fail when the WAN IP is 192.168.0.x, the IP becomes 192.168.2.1 and the installation terminates.

Have anyone had any problems with this new release?

Hi!

D-link DLW-G122 has different hardware revisions, only the b1 revision has the ralink chipset. u can see it in:
Supported version:
http://support.dlink.com/prod_img/revisions/DWL-G122_revBv.jpg
Not supported:
http://support.dlink.com/prod_img/revisions/DWL-G122_revDv.jpg

I dont have time to test 1.03 but it seems works like 1.01 and 1.02

#66566 - STAKED - Wed Jan 11, 2006 11:45 pm

1.03 for Belkin 7050 doesn't seem to work for me. Tried many times before I downloaded the unaltered 1.03 and added the device ID details to each file myself then it was fine. Perhaps a file has missed an edit in that bundle..?

i have a belkin 7050 and it doesn't work with that software either

i discovered that i have version 3000

which uses a different chipset and different software to the normal belkin usb adapter 7050 model

check the bottom of the box you bought the belkin with

if it says 3000 then you are shit out of luck

sorry

Does that mean my USB dongle isnt set as an Access Point? If not how can I change that?

Are you using firewall (other than Windows firewall) with outbound blocking?
I had my problems with ZoneAlarm (use Search to find it).

You can also uninstall the drivers... remove the stick... disable all other networks but Internet-connection, disable any OS/network firewall programs, turn on windows firewall and try to install again. Just for test use of course.

I have to check it out when I come back home.

Network firewall (like ZoneAlarm) = Filter in/out network connections
OS firewall (like ZoneAlarm) = Filter unwanted OS behaviors, like changing network settings

Yes I have a firewall, Kerio, but I don't think thats the problem - my PCI WIFI card works fine when Kerio is enabled, its just the USB one that doesn't. Isnt some sort of software needed in addition to these hacked drivers to turn the WIFI card into an access point? Do you know why the icons are different (see pic in previous post)?

Have you tested with Kerio turned off (with windows firewall)? I don't think there is an easy way to use PCI card with Nintendo's drivers/app. You could set up normal AP and set your wifi setting manually to your DS.

Blueyonda has a hand.. so it's shared.. so it's your Internet connection?

the software installed perfectly (Sweex LC100060) and i granted the ds access, however when it tries to test the connection, there's no signal being recieved by the ds

Did you set the firewall off while testing (just to be sure)? *windows firewall can be turned on*

yep, green icon is there

at the moment it's saying that it's unable to obtain the IP address

EDIT: tried reinstalling, but now it's telling me that there's something wrong with sharing the connection

#77374 - RowanDDR - Thu Mar 30, 2006 7:53 pm

Xtreme - yes I've tried with no firewall at all, no joy.

And Blueyonda, yes, this is my internet cable modem connection. Everything works fine when I share it with my pci wifi card, but as I say, not when I share it with my usb wifi card. Do you know why the PCI and USB connections have different icons? I'm sure somehow I've set the pci one up at an Access Point (whatever that means), but I dont know how to do the same for the usb one.. assuming thats the reason my DS wont talk to it.

I have no idea. Have you modified those drivers or something... that NDS WIFI USB2 icon should look the same as that WIFI

I assume you have tried to use Nintendo registering tool. And you have allowes DS to connect via the Nintendo registering tool settings.
Uninstall Nintendo drivers and remove the stick. Disable all networks except Blueyonda (be sure it's not shared after uninstalling nintendo).
Run Nintendo setup and put the stick in when asked. Blueyonda should be now shared again. Any luck?

Didn't you know already that the Nintendo driver pack has WiFi stick drivers + Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector Registeration Tool (it's the software)?

Is the modified driver pack in this thread the same as the Nintendo driver pack you're talking about? Or do I need both?

Yes, it is a guide how to do it step by step (by Nintendo).

Are you talking about Nintendo WFC setup 1.03? Or Nintendo web page?

Yes, I'm talking about the modified driver pack on the first post. It will install the app if the setup was succeeded.

Talking about nintendo web page.

The link you gave me (http://www.nintendowifi.com/consumerservice/gettingStarted.do?entryId=usbInstall) just redirects to a county selection page. After that I click on Getting Started.. At Home.. and this is where it gives me the dead end.

#77421 - tepples - Fri Mar 31, 2006 2:46 pm

After you go to the country selection page and set your cookie, you have to refresh what was the country selection page.

Oh, my bad, sorry. I didn't know it uses cookies.


You need some cookies to be able to open the right page so:

First click:
http://www.nintendowifi.com

Then click:
http://www.nintendowifi.com/global/index.jsp?locale=en_US

After that click:
http://www.nintendowifi.com/consumerservice/gettingStarted.do?entryId=usbInstall


EDIT: Sorry, I forget the first link!

Ok, www.nintendowifi.co.uk sucks. I'm using firefox (default install) and everytime I click any link, it just takes me back to the country selection page. I'd love to try in IE but IE doesnt work on my pc coz installing the latest IE beta b0rked it up real good.

Waffle's post was a great help. I've now got my Sweex LC100060 USB2 wifi dongle functioning as an Access Point, using the official untouched Sweex drivers, and ASUS SoftAP software (http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/WL-167g/eng_2371.zip and replacing all the exe's with hex edited for Sweex USB by Waffle ones - http://rapidshare.de/files/17695083/ASUS__modded_for_Sweex_USB_.rar.html).
This works for official games, and homebrew..

So why would anyone want to use hacked Nintendo drivers.. homebrew stuff won't work though Ni-Fi.. well it didn't for me anyway.

Hi. I've been watching this board for quite a while now and finally decided to register.
I have a Swwex LC100060 USB2 Wifi stick and I'm able to install the Asus software etc. and get it all working except I'm not able to configure the AP settings. I always get some error about ICS and Bridge settings and access violation in Wireless.exe. I don't have any connections shared or bridged. I'm a bit desperate as I really want to play Mario Kart online ... Thanks in advance.

#79093 - RowanDDR - Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:28 pm

Did you install the official sweex drivers or the hacked Nintendo ones?

Have you tried with Waffle's "modded sweex LC100060 usb" software that I just posted?

You should share your internet connection via ICS with your sweex dongle. Try doing that before you run the ASUS software.

#79419 - kr@ym - Thu Apr 13, 2006 4:22 pm

I`m total noob in WiFi ... so :
1. If I have Nintendo USB Connector, what version of modified drivers do I need : Buffalo_WLI-U2-KG54-AI or Buffalo_WLI-U2-KG54
2. This guide says only about editing some files, installing and uninstalling Wi-Fi USB adapter, so do I only have to install modified drivers to make my connector as AP, or use this guide?

PS. Sorry for my english.

#79425 - msa - Thu Apr 13, 2006 5:06 pm

ok, so i am very confused now xD

i have: - nintendo ds

thats all xD

now i just read, that some official demos are leaked and available to download. fine. i wanne play them.
then the text said, that USB-sticks will NOT work. wtf?

as i do not have any online-game, i wouldn't buy a wifi-usb-stick for nothing.
my question: will these usb-sticks listed on the ralink-page word for downloading game-demos to my ds?

/edit

thats the page where it says that usb-sticks will not work:
Quote:
NOTE: USB version (RT2570) will not work


/edit 2:
ok, the ralink-page (http://ralink.rapla.net/) says that the devices listed are rt2500-based. so that means i can buy one of them and download the demos and it will work?

Any listed PCI or PCMCIA card will work in Microsoft Windows. Any listed PCI, PCMCIA, or USB card will work in GNU/Linux provided that all the other peripherals connected to your computer are supported by Linux.

1.Look at the back of your stick... it says in Buffalos:

2.yes, only install modified drivers setup same way as the Nintendo's official ones

It is for Belkin F5D7050 version 2000.
It must have the right chipset (Ralink RT2500).

v2000 *

Have you checked that yours is v2000?

Hi all, I have just bought a GIGABYTE WB01GS for home use. (Not for NDS)

But it's an Ralink usb adapter. (FCC ID: JCK-GN-WB01GS
Device Instant id : USB\VID_1044&PID_8008\5&F7BE307&0&1

I have done all the correct modifications to the Nintendo driver.
But the driver fails to install while copying the rt25usbap.sys.

It just hangs. Does this on 3 PCs I have.

So the driver never finishes the install and hence no network connection.
Am I missing something here? Or is this adapter totally not supported?

Any help would be very much appreciated~! =)

No, these drivers are for playing WFC games using a non nintendo USB adapter. You don't need these drivers to do that but I guess it makes it easier for some people.

i have the Cnet CWD 854 , I didn't install the original drivers that are in the box.
If i want to install the WiFi drivers for it, the prog asks if i want to put the usb stick in the usb ports and wait for a bit , then i put the usb stick in the port and the prog won't do anything anymore :s

I followed the tutorial and everything went fine , but i still have the same problem

plz help^^

hi guys, i have a Conceptronic C54Ri... a PCI version of wifi cards listed in the first page C54ru... mh, there is any way to fix the driver (i guess PCI is different from USB guide) for this card?

I'm using a Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedboost, model no. WUSB54GSC.

Edit: I got everything to work up until it starts installing drivers. It will install about 90-99% of the drivers, and then it just stops. What can I do to fix this?

Anyone with a D-link DWL-g120? - I'm trying one: H/W Ver. B1 F/W Ver. 2.4.3.4

I modified the driver as specified and as it goes through the setup it asks to insert the nintendo usb device, so i put in the d-link and it continues installing for a minute and comes up with an error saying to insert the nintendo usb device, if i click ok or reinsert it it comes up with an APPLICATION ERROR.

I double checked the VID&PID (2001, 3701)

#114970 - miek - Thu Jan 11, 2007 11:32 pm

Anyone know what chip the Syntax USB-400 uses? I am trying to hack the Ni-Fi to work with my Wii. The Syntax was a dirt cheap 802.11b USB adapter from 3 or so years ago.

Just changing the VID/PID in the nintendo files doesnt work. It kind of installs but fails towards the end. So I've been trying to replace the rt25xx drivers with the ones supplied with the USB-400. no luck yet.

If anyone has any more info on it or wants to take a crack at the drivers let me know.

#115994 - simprule - Sat Jan 20, 2007 11:47 pm

Problem with installing the modified belkin driver.

I uninstalled the current driver, then restarted my computer. When running the NWiFi setup, when prompted to insert my USB stick, my computer automatically recognises it as a Belkin 54g USB Adaptor, even though it still requires a driver.

Therefore, this means the NWiFi setup does not recognise it at all, and the setup stalls.


Is this because of what my computer recognises?

I would apperciate any help, but I can't verfiy whether or not is v2000 or v3000 nor supply a driver now that it's uninstalled!

A few months ago I uninstalled the hacked drivers for my DWL-G510(?) and installed official ones so I could grab a wifi signal, and after doing that there was just no way it'd take the hacked ones anymore. Same problem you had. I had to just use System Restore to go back to before I'd installed them. :-/

just bought WUSB54G V4, NiFi driver (which i downloaded from the fist post) installation getting error when it setting the connection sharing. my pc behind the router, the question is. do i need change my router ip? my router ip is 192.168.0.1

#124445 - lycosluke - Fri Apr 06, 2007 1:11 am

I am using an Conceptronic C54RU and tried the modified driver but it didn't work. The Wi-Fi USB Connector Installer didn't recognized the device and woudn't go on with the installation. After checking the VID's ans PID's I noticed that the PID of my C54RU was different than the one used in the modified driver. My PID is "PID_3C22". So I changed it in the files link in the tutorial described and now the Wi-Fi USB Connector Installer recognizes the C54RU and starts to install the driver but stops allmost in the middel of the installation. I'm trying it now for hours but can't get a solution. Is there somebody who had a similar problem and/or maby a solution?

#127109 - crashnutter - Mon Apr 30, 2007 12:56 am

Hey guys,

Firstly good effort on the amount of work thats gone into all this - I'm glad I've found this site!

Is it safe to say that the Belkin F5D7050 v3000 is not going to happen as a hacked-nds-wifi adaptor thingy? I've learnt a lot tonight about chipsets and VID/PID's and followed all of the instructions to the letter, but when I launch the program it gets to the bit where it says put the USB adaptor in, and it says "Found Belkin USB 54g", brings up the "Found New Hardware" wizrad in the background, the Nintendo install-o-tron stalls, launches SoftAP, which then hangs, if I taskman out of SoftAP, the Nintendo installer finishes, asks me to put the USB back in (even when its already in) then gives application error and bombs out.


Would be muchly grateful if anyone has a hack for the drivers/completely new way of getting this to work!

Update: For people with the lovely Belkin thingy, have found out how to tell which version you own:

Look at the FCC number on the actual stick:

K7S-F5D7050 = version 1000
K7S-F5D7050A = version 2000
K7S-F5D7050B = version 3000
RAXWN4501H = version 4000


SOOOO I definately have a version 3000, the difference on that RaLink table thing, shows that it means I have a Ralink2501USB chipset, so I guess the new questions are

1) is it because the NDS Drivers/software ONLY supports Ralink2500 chipsets that it won't work,

2) has anyone written any software that will make a Ralink 2501USB chipset recognisable as a NDS USB Wifi stick AND

3) Will the actual N-DS even recognise a Ralink2501USB chipset stick (I would have thought it would if the PC is broadcasting it as one, but still gonna ask)

I'm not even gonna pretend I know what I'm talking about here, so any advice would be most appreciated!

#128527 - aimoto - Sat May 12, 2007 9:35 am

success! (after literally 50 tries with this and waffle's guide.)

i have a WLI-U2-KG54 and modded it using this guide and nintendo's 1.04 USB install.

before installing--for the 50th time--i made sure that any traces of the previous orignal and nintendo drivers/programs were removed/uninstalled from the computer and then rebooted just to be safe. (rebooting to a clean slate is key!)

i then double checked the files i modded to make sure i did everything right, and with my USB unplugged, i ran the setup.exe in /NintendoWFCReg.

i followed the instructions:
http://www.nintendowifi.com/consumerservice/gettingStarted.do?entryId=usbInstall

and it did NOT work.

i was able to nintendo USB connector, but after a few seconds the signal would turn from green to red, and fail.

after some more restarting, i figured i'd try and bridge the USB and my LAN connection.

did it, restarted once again, and voila~ it connected.[/url]

Can someone make a driver for the wifi max? It doesnt seem to work with its own driver so i was wondering if it would work with this one.
The driver can be downloaded from

I just bought a C54RU adapter, and it has Version 2.0, and unfortunately uses the RT73 chipset from Ralink. That means that the modified Nintendo driver does not work.
But you can download this original driver, which includes a SoftAP, that also works with the Nintendo DS, but you have of course configure it yourself, similar as described here for PCI/PCMCIA.

But I have an additional question, perhaps someone in this forum had the same problem:
I have a special setup, that means I use two wireless connections:
Code:
Inet <--> DSL-Router with Wifi <---> Laptop with builtin Wifi + C54RU <---> NDS


Problem is, that even I choose Zero-Configuration Utility (the windows built in Wifi config), after starting the SoftAP, the Zero-Configuration-Service of Windows is halted. My Internetconnection works then further on for a non-determitive amount of time (e.g. 10 to 30 minutes), and then fails. To fix it, I have to stop the SoftAP, start the Zero-Configuration-Service again, and then the SoftAP again, and it works again.

My impression is, that the Internet Connection Sharing is meant for a wired WAN port and an additional LAN/Wlan port, but not for two wireless connections (nevertheless i can switch on Internet connection sharing on my primary Wireless connection).

Has anyone had this configuration before and knows a solution for this?

Thanks in Advance,

ps2aich

Edit: Solved: I now not use the Zero-Configuration Tool of windows anymore, but downloaded a compatible (same chipset Atheros AR5005G) 3rd party tool (in my case Belkin, so it should work now

Hi

I have been trying to do your hack tutorial with my Netgear adapter WG111T. The setup program keeps freezing at the registration bit.

Do you have any drivers for this adapter??

Thanks

#138482 - KayDat - Fri Aug 24, 2007 4:37 pm

I've got a Linksys WUSB54G (not 54GP), and I also had troubles installing the drivers. I gaveup, went the softAP route, then tried to give the NiFi a try again, and you know what? I missed a step.
Guys, MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE NO_COMPLETE FIELDS IN THE INST.INI FILE. If you don't, the install freezes just after installing drivers.
But yeah, I wanted a NiFi because I already have a WiFi router, and didn't want to make my internet open, which having a softAP does.

#138491 - Dood77 - Fri Aug 24, 2007 6:19 pm

I think you're confusing Nifi with ad-hoc, and I don't think either of those terms are correct in your situation, I could be wrong though.

Nifi is Nintendo's way of doing ad-hoc, its got its own specialized protocol that we don't understand yet.

So the Asus WL-167g modded drivers are tested or not..? cause i'm about to buy one..

Plus.. i need a bit of help with a situation at work.

I'm using a pc at work with xp-pro-sp1 that is connected to an open network from the upper floor just to run a program that does some printing.. this router is conencted to the internet and gives it freely to me and another pc at the 2nd floor. I've got full access to the router admin panel, "but" heh, my boss came in 3 days ago and said that i "must" "only" use the company program from "now" on. So no surfing no nothing.. i was thinking to port some of that network to my ds just like i have it home with my linksys router. If i buy the asus dongle what must i do to the windows xp so i use the internet through the dongle to my ds.. i've got the opera and i'd like to play some wfc games! maybe some homebrew too..

thanx in advance and sorry for the big msg and the typo's

The ASUS WL-167g drivers are modified by Xtreme himself, so I think it's safe to say that they work.
Also, I think I'll be nice and until further notice, if you have a USB Ralink RT2500 chipset based WiFi adapter which doesn't already have a custom driver listed, I'm willing to make one for you, as long as you provide VID and PID of your WiFi adapter. PM me.

Yesterday i purchased an ASUS WL-167g but the VID/PID is different than the driver.. my asus it's not the 1706 but the 1723 VID/PID.. i changed the ini and the dll's with notepad++ and xiv32 like the guide says, no prob easy stuff, but it hungs at about 50% of the installation.. what's up now..

I used :
The Magistus_... is my modified driver.. please some one can check it up..

And take a look at the screenshot on 2 pc's.. my laptop and my work does the same..

So the PID is 1723, how about VID? Is it the same?

The fact that the numbers have changed at all makes me wonder...perhaps Asus have changed chipset? I'm not entirely sure though...have you double checked that you followed everystep?

#140209 - Magistus - Fri Sep 14, 2007 7:18 am

The Pid is diff but the Vid is the same.. and i'm almost asure.. that they've chaned chipsets.. it has both rt2500 files but some rt27 files too.. and if i install it normaly with the cd.. it uses the rt27 files (inf dll etc..)..

they changed it.. didn't they.. fcuk.. what i'm gonna do now..

and i can't even make it to work as a normal Access Point.. i just need to fw the net-connection to my ds and surf with my opera browser and use dslinux like i use'em at home with my linksys wag54gs.. no probs there..

does someone know how to make it work at least with the asus AP drivers..? i'm stuck at some ICS settings..

Yes.. but i just can't make it to work.. the nds finds it but doesn't connect.. something with damn ics..

i've got a pc that get the inet from the lan (router) and i want to forward the inet to the ds.. is it possible or not, cause i've read some ics help files and said that if you are with gateways etc. you cannot use it..

some help please.. not a n00b generaly.. but n00b @ ICS (damn ics)

Hi there, I have read thru this whole forun and not got any further.
I have a Belkin F5D7050 (v2000)

I tried removing my old drivers, I run the setup for the 7050 as found here, but the setup freezes on asking me to "Connect the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector.
Once the device is connected, please wait a moment."
I have unplugged it plugged it back it, restarted my pc, removed all belkin drivers, etc etc but its still just asking me to connect the device.

Anybody know what im missing?

#146678 - Da_ALC - Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:19 pm

OK I still needed to edit the files for the belkin adaptor.. needed to replace a 0 for a D for the PID VID code4s throughout.. Now its locked up at seeting up connection sharing... Joy.

INstalled!

#146680 - Da_ALC - Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:37 pm

Okay so I have it all installed. I dont see anything when I run the Nintendo Registration tool.. I see the process running ashould there be any dialogue...
I cant get my DS to detect it either.

I have my PC wired up to a router connected to the net, and my belkin adaptor plugged into my pc.
Would I need to allow anything on the router? The router is wireless and I can connect my DS to it, but i have a big metal wall between my room where my pc is and the router (its in a Pub) and so im cabled up to it.
This is why I am trying to setup the adapter in my room.

As I tell my DS to search for the nintendo USB connector.. my PC shows the belkin as sending packets as its trying to connect, but not receiving.

Hi! I'm on Vista64, and nintendo USB 1.04 don't work. I've donwloaded the new 1.06 and tried to customize it for a DLink DWL-G122B1 with no luck. I've done every modification shown here but two things happen, the setup freezes when the SoftAPinstDrv opens with it at the start leaving no choice but to kill it with Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then when you close it (the SoftAPinstDrv app) the setup continues trying to configure the internet connection share but at the end and error says that the USB dongle is not connected and the setup ends with Error and no other choice but Close.

Any help? Thanks!

Any advice would be very helpfull and much appriciated.

#175443 - s1rr34l - Mon Nov 22, 2010 3:53 am

maybe this should have been posted in a different thread...

I was hoping to be able to use this solution with my DWL-G122 C1, since it uses a ralink chipset (rt2501/rt2573/rt73).

However, I got it working in Windows XP as an softAP using ralink's own
utility. And even better, I was able to connect using my NDS Lite. Was able to confirm that it works when I was able to connect to the online gallery function in Colors 1.1.

I should also mention that I got an M3 DS Real and is using sakura 1.49x.

I used the driver that is linked to on this page : http://wikidrivers.com/wiki/Ralink_RT7x (I think this specific driver might have been mentioned in some earlier post in this thread)

I installed the driver and chose to install both driver and utility.
Also chose to use the utility instead of Windows Zero Configuration.

After this I plugged in my USB adapter. Windows found the hardware and automatically installed D-Link drivers.

At first the Ralink utility icon was black and said that no wlan card was found. I wanted to try to replace the drivers with ralink's rt73 drivers.
I went into device manager and chose update drivers on the usb device.
I found some drivers located in the System32/DRVSTORE folder where a folder named rt73-something was located. However after installing, it seems it was the same D-Link drivers I had already installed.

The utility was still black. Started to almost lose all hope. Then I went into the Ralink utility folders and took a look. found an interesting file in the c:\program files\ralink\common folder that was called HWID.ini

Looked through it and found the [RT73] section. Looked for my cards VID and PID, but it was not there. However, there was another D-Link adapter there DeviceID_49=USB\VID_07D1&PID_3C06 .... then simply changed it to read DeviceID_49=USB\VID_07D1&PID_3C03 instead.
Saved the file. And Voil?. The utility worked.

Right clicked on the utility and chose switch to AP Mode. Then I chose my WAN connection (internet). I also had a 3G device connected and chose it as my WAN connection. Then I chose a name for my AP (TEST-NDS) and selected channel 6, security settings was configured to use WEP HEX (10 Characters Passcode) and that wireless protection was set to ON.

After that I found my new SoftAP on the NDS and was able to connect.
