Default Noob question warning

The lad wants a R4/M3 REAL Nintendo DS Lite Adapter plus 2GB Micro SD plus Rumble Adapter (see link below) so he can download games.
I haven't played with the DS much so am confused, noob questions coming up.

How do you get the DS online ?

I have a wireless set up but im sure i read somewhere it will not work with WAP only WEP is this correct ?

Do you go to a shopping channel like on the Wii to get the games ?

How much are the games and is there a site i can visit on the PC ?

Thanks in advance.

The DS connects through wireless and you are correct in saying that it only supports WEP.

As for downloading games, I am not aware of any legitimate DS downloadable games other than the demos available through one of the Wii channels.

Can help with a couple.

The DS is fine straight out of the box to connect to a WEP network. Some DS games carry the WiFi symbol (a al Wii games) and work in the same way.



God appeared to have reacted badly to Bede's prayer for electricity to charge his DS

So I'm guessing the use of these adaptors is illegal and you buy the cards with the games on them, get them off the internet or copy them off other peoples cards.

I thought it was too good to be true.

There are a couple of legal DS downloadable games - it's even (ish) legal to run some early Lucasarts games on the DS (Beneath a Dark Sky also is available).

There are some other homebrew games available, but I've seen some running and to be charitable they aren't great. There are also utilities which are freely available too. Not tried any to say whether it was actually worth setting up though.

Gaffer's blog has got lots of information about homebrew programs.

Shows some of the better things that are available.

what game were you trying to use to get online, i think the only way i got mine to go online was not to use DHCP but to set up the ip stuff manually, works fine now

just nab a random ip address way up the list such as .150 or something and it will work fine, i believe the info is stored on the ds itself not the cart cos when you put in another the details are still there.
