parrot Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Would it be possible to stream a file to and/or from a server? I've got some plans for some WiFi apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Öhr GmbH Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 and download them with "ds-download play"?perhaps possible, but the games have to be smaller than 4MB(DS ram is just 4mb large).But if you do this, u need a wificard with a ralink RT2500 chip. theres no program avaible to do this now. firefly produced a ds-download server to boot flashcards in ds mode, perhaps he could help u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 I was meaning stream a file from the DS and vice versa. I should have explained a bit better, I knew about WifiMe and WMB. Anyway, thanks for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tssf Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 It's very possible..infact, I'm using a program right now that's streaming assets from my PC to my DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Could I do it by putting data into packets and sending them to a server on a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sintax Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, you could put the data into chunks and send it over UDP. Then you'd have to write your own error-handling and packet-checking code (which is what TCP/IP has built in). I think this is pretty much what bafio's file transfer program does.

El_Hobito Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i think he might be referring to apps that use udp natively such as streamed audio. i might have a go at that myself when i finish my current project...but then again theres a thousand things i wanna do!

parrot Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'm trying to stream data from websites to the DS. It data is in XML which ties into my other question. What libs could I use to decode XML data? libxml has file I/O code incompatible with the DS, expat is a bit complex, TinyXML is dead hard to use and I don't know how to make my own XML parser.

parrot Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Sorry for double posting but I've solved the XML decoding bit (Thanks to Gladius on the #dsdev IRC Channel) but I am still stuck with getting the data. Coudl someone please help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
