DSVNC is a VNC client for Nintendo DS.
VNC is a protocol that allows the client to control the computer that runs the server: the client sees the screen of the server and can control its keyboard and mouse.
DSVNC is a client that runs on the DS.

( How to use )

First you must install a VNC server on the computer you want to control. Famous/Best VNC client/servers are "RealVNC" (for Windows) and "TightVNC" (for Linux).
Download one of them and install it, then run the server.

> Note for Linux users: if you want yo share your current desktop instead of starting a new X session, you may uses the "X11VNC" server.

Then, have a way to run DS homebrew and launch DSVNC. On the top screen, you will see explanations in the gray box, and on the bottom screen you will see the menus.
To connect easily a VNC server, uses "Quickly connect to another server".
Then, you have to type the server's adress (IP or Hostname), and a password if you specified one on your server. Then you will be connected to the server. See "Controls when connected" paragraph for more infos.

> Note: The first reception of the screen image can be a little long (5 to 10 seconds), depending of your network speed and your screen resolution.
> Note: If your wireless network is very slow and your screen is very big, DSVNC will be too slow for being usable. (Not my fault if Nintendo locked Wifi to 2Mbps)Neoflash MK2/3, ...), your options will be written on a "dsvnc.ini" file at root of your CF/SD.

( Controls when connected )

Stylus: - When global view on touch screen, selects the zoomed zone.
- When zoomed zone on touch screen, controls mouse. Right/left (depending of L/R held or not) click if touched.
Pad: Move.
ABXY: Same as pad (easier for left-handled people).
L/R: Change mouse button (right button while held).
Select: Show/Hide keyboard.
Start: Swap screens.
L+R+Start+Select: Disconnects and go back to main menu.

So wait, I can use my home computer from my DS?
Does that include streaming my audio and browsing my internet and $#@!? Or what is exactly the extent of this tool? I'm not good with servers, sorry.

What is wrong with you people? Why don't you just read the description and try it out for yourself? This forum is ridiculous.

NO $#@!, I spent 30 minutes searching for this. But the description did not provide me exactly WHAT it did, only how to do it.

That states exactly what VNC is and what it does, and bleow it, it tells how to use it. How much more information do you need?

So this would allow use for IE, correct? As well as aim and MSN etc. I would be able to view and controll anything, including games? Would I be able to access files from that computer and transfer them to my DS?

Hmm, it couldn't connect to my Wifi network even though it works fine when gaming.

After some experimentation the new version does not work for me, only the one released on the 20th. And that one does connect to my network, but it can't seem to connect to the server(that three letter acronym I'm blanking on right now is in there too, TCP?)

Any suggestions?
