chr15m Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Hi, The topic pretty much says it all. Will the source be available?
SausageBoy Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 It is acceptable for the implementation to use existing libraries, provided that their licenses are non-contaminating (BSD license, MIT license, LGPL are fine; GPL and MPL are not.)http://sc.tri-bit.com/DS_Wi-fi_Bounty From what I gather, in order to get the bounty, the software will have to be open source, but not under a license which forces software using it to also be open source. This doesn't mean the sgstair will release his code under something like that, but to get the bounty, he has to. And he's a nice guy, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Lockwood Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Stephen have you ever thougth about a ds virus or NDS Hacker who brakes your ds
JaJa Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Right....a ds virus that what messes your DS up until you turn it off and it's removed? that's great.
Thoop Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Right....a ds virus that what messes your DS up until you turn it off and it's removed? that's great.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>lol "OH NO I've got a virus that goes away when I turn my ds off!" but it could come onto your gbamp's cf, but why would someone want to write such a code for nothing?
sgstair Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 A virus for DS would be well, very difficult. It would have to live on an external medium, as integrating into the firmware is out of the question. Secondly it would have to be very selective (it could only affect a few mediums without being huge), and the ds is limited enough it couldn't exactly do anything interesting anyway. -Stephen
JaJa Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 DS would make an interesting vector for a virus. You get it from another DS, then it spreads to a GBAMP CF card and infects a PC. Or wifi it could spread to the wireless network and get more PC's. The homebrew could generate an image file or "savegame" whch you would run on your PC i.e. to use your backed uped DS save run the savegame thru this converter so it works on emulators. In reality it exectutes a PC virus. Although you may well just put a trojan in the windows executable...
chr15m Posted October 7, 2005 Author Posted October 7, 2005 Will probably be released under BSD. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rock and roll! That is totally boss. Thanks very much for your efforts!
