Lady, I love your blog, but I have to say that some bits of it are written in just too small handwriting. As an old fourteen year old blind girl, I'll have to ask you to try to make it bigger, please, please, please.
By the way, that word verification thingy sucks hardly. I can understand why it's useful, but it still deserves do rot in hell. It wants me to write "fouhusi" now.

oh noes. you should try psp for web browsing. however they both suck at blogspot. and i thought th best kit was m3 simply ._. enough g33k t4lk :D
-
1. i LOVE you.
2. your handwriting. girl. sometimes, i seriously can't figure it out.
3. you and my girlfriend are pretty much the same person. Tron shoes. Nintendo DS. Tony Hawk. Nerdy tshirt slogans. Glasses. Bad luck with building things. just everything.
-
The DS can connect to normal wifi. Of course it can. If you're having trouble search for a tutorial online. But it shouldn't be hard at all.
-
Yes, I know you can get a dongle for your own PC to allow it to connect to normal wireless through that. But you can't just take it out and say browse the internet in starbucks :( People are working on a hack but it's very much in development.
-
-
You absolutely don't need a dongle. You can use it anywhere that offers free wifi.

from their website: "Many Hotspots are able to connect to the Nintendo WFC. Those Hotspot locations that require a browser interface for a user to accept a "terms of use" agreement, or to create an account, or that have incompatible security settings are not compatible with the Nintendo WFC."
So, if Starbucks is requiring one of these dumb terms of use type logins, just go to the locally owned coffee shop instead and you'll likely have no problems.

"...free-range chicken...tasted like it had a great life."
HA! That one cracked me up.
-
your free-range chicken looks delicious and happy.
-
Just stumbled upon this blog the other day, brilliant stuff. I'm interested in where I can get my hands on some of this 'open-source' chicken though...is it Linux chicken?
-
Your friend Elanor sounds very sweet and humane. I love animals! They're delicious.
-
Yes, I accept you CAN connect your DS to hotspots but while connected you are only on the Nintendo form of wifi (NI-FI) & you can only connect to other DS's - you can't say retrieve your gmail or look at a video of a monkey drinking it's own pee.
-
It's not a "different form" of wifi, it's regular wifi. If you want to check your email or whatever, then you need to have the proper program installed on your DS. This is no different than what happens with a laptop, for instance. If you have a laptop but no browser and no mail program you won't be able to check your email, even though you can still connect to wifi.
By the way, they do make a browsers for the DS. Nintendo makes one, and there's also homebrew solutions.
-
By the way I am only disputing any of this cause it's what my games expert mate said - I am certainly no expert myself.
OK - case study: I'm at home, i want to connect to our network. There's no interface to put the WEP key in, If I go to pico chat or download games - it just hangs there, nothing seems to happen - so what do I do?
-
The interface to put in a WEP code would be within the program itself. You can enter the WEP code through an interface in games like MarioKart and Metroid Prime Hunters and other wifi enabled DS games. Whatever wifi enabled program you are using will allow you to either search for an wifi access point or manually enter one.
Also, I never heard of that homebrew cart that you recommended. The R4DS and the MS Simply are widely considered to be the best, and are incredibly easy to use. (They're actually both the exact same product... the MS Simply is just a rebranded R4DS... but the R4DS gets it's operating updates like several months ahead of the MS Simply).

(By the way, the Pictochat program is only for connecting to other nearby DSs. You can't connect to the internet with it.)
-
The cartridge again was recommended by my pal who's in the games industry - it's just come out.
Yes I realise you can connect to ordinary wi-fi for the purposes of playing games - but what I heard is you can't do anything non nintendo-related. I am happy to back down on this fact as my the guy that told me that is now saying he's not sure. Thanks for setting the record straight!
-
What's the downloading games but?
-
I know there are homebrew programs that can connect to wifi (like Colors, which allows you to send the drawings & paintings you make to any email address, using wifi). (I don't know if whether you first need to set up your WEP using an actual Ninteno cart. Their website doesn't say. Anyhow, colors is a great program.)
