wifi newbie question

[Jenova]

Hi

 

Iam just wondering how to use libdswifi to make a multiplayer game. Are there any docs available? or an example how to make 2+ DS's to communicate and maybe how to send a DS download and play.

 

thanks

I would strongly suggest scouring the web for UNIX socket programming. I based my code largely off of this tutorial. (I had never touched low level network programming before Dissonance) I also used this directory.

 

So when I developed Dissonance, I coded a test application alongside it, so I basically wrote a Linux internet radio client in addition to Dissonance. Anyways, good luck with your project.

Thanks!

 

Just two more questions:

 

1. Is internet and DS to DS connection two total different things? in setup and functions to use etc.

 

2. Have someone been able to send a binary to a DS.

DS to DS isn't supported yet, a router would need to be in between.

 

Binaries have been sent to the DS, there is a HTTP downloader out there and bafio's UDP download client.

Definitley! Can anyone provide a link to this? My gf doesn't have a USB port on her laptop. (Well, there is one, but there's problems, long story)

 

This program would solve many of my headaches!

I don't have a CF or SD card reader for my DS, so I'm unable to test it myself.

I'll also note that DragonMinded's DSOrganize has a built in download function to download homebrew from a list he's assembled on his server to a supported CF/SD card.
