I just tried this MSN thing on my DS, and I'm totally blown away....

It uses WiFi to connect to MSN server, and u can see ur whole contact list, buddy icons, and even sounds! U can type and draw with ur touchscreen.

Only down side is that u have to take the security on the wireless router away.

Here's a pic of me and my buddy talking on it:

The maker of DSOrganize expects to have AIM built into it in the next release.

As far as beup, yeah, it's awesome. Someone has released a nice custom skin for it. You can get it here.

First post updated to include my LE5 Moonshell skin and compile, for those of you who just want to give Moonshell a go without the trouble of compiling it. Just send the .nds file to your cart and run it. Everything is pre-set up.

Oh, and here's the pic of the old SC MiniSD box I promised for SlightDust. It's taken with my crappy phone cam, but you can still see the new one is much nicer ;)

i'm having trouble with this beup thing... i have wep on the router and after trying to get dhcp info it says it can't connect or something, so i disabled router security but it still doesn't work... the same thing sorta happens with dsorganize's homebrew DB...

it seems like i'm stuck with being disconnected on homebrew... games however runs fine online... just finished a mariokart race :)

and on another note: how can i transfer the savegames from my 'real' ds games to the supercard so i can continue where i left off?

It's because ur default WiFi setting still uses the WEP.

Use a game that supports WiFi play (Metroid Hunters, Mario Kart) and go to WiFi setting, make sure the 1st connection is refreshed without the WEP settings. U could just erase the first setting, and let it search for access point, etc. Then try beup again, it should work.

Hope that helps.

i tried that earlier (erasing the first config and having only the 2nd one configured for the wep-less router) but to no avail... guess i'll have to wait for better wep support or get the nintendo usb dongle... :unsure:

edit:

what about the savegames?

Use 1st one, don't use the 2nd one.

Rein worked like a charm... at first i was getting errors when trying to copy the save, but then i noticed my minisd was full... 1 gig really is too small... why are nds games so big? :p

what are the side effects of the compress feature on the supercard converter? does it compress the nds files to zip-size? slowdowns? saves? loading times?

oh, jianbing: how's the zelda saving thing coming along? :p

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
