Beup Live 0.3e - MSN for DS

Uh, he is definitely just pointing out how hypocritical you are, dude.

Am I one of this boards very talented coders?....

I've barely registered here and I'm already being flamed. I guess I wont come back.

Not trying to scare you off, just saying that there's little use in sitting around complaining about the issue. The sources are indeed available, so you are welcome to try to tackle the issue.

Programmers spend a lot of time and hard work making programs for people, and when users are unappreciative and demanding it only makes them more unwilling to work. That's why many people in the open-source community have adopted the idea of "if you don't like it, fix it yourself." This is unfortunate, as it's a rather rude philosophy, but it happens nonetheless. Don't take it personally Johnny.

Well for a start im not a programmer, hence the request.

Secondly the person currently releasing Beup did exactly what you are saying, but HAS NOT released his code (as the licence statues he MUST). Which means that the problem is not a small one. The whole thing needs patching up, and a new wifi library, and DLDI support adding.

If this was simply learning how to change the server IP and recompiling the code i would gladly learn how to do it and release it for everyone to use.

Given how badly Beup has been run into the ground id say it is well worth another programmer taking the baton. And if i was a programmer, i would.

If the suggestion offends you, then why not reply explaining why, instead of being rude and condescending?

I am aware of the situation with HtheB, as unfortunate as it is. Like you said, Kevinc's original code can be found on a recent GBAdev thread, and reportedly there are only about 15 lines of code that are different between the original version and HtheB's one.

I'm not opposed to the idea of someone else taking up the torch, nor have I stated that I was. Honestly my first post was meant to be taken as a joke, so I'm sorry that it got taken so seriously.

instead of being rude and condescending?

Are you being a condescending moron just to boost your post count? *clap*

Hmm...

Am I missing something here or are you a hypocrite?

[JohnnyP]

LMFAO - lostgame - Just how dumb are you?.. Please go away.

Anyway for those who are here for news, and not to flame random people, check out this link:

Thanks to Frigolit: http://www.digitalfractions.net/pub/...2007-04-26.nds

AFAIK there is still no update on HtheB, so im guessing hes never going to officially release the code.

It works!!!

Thanks too much JohnnyP

Updated binary that should support DLDI for saving your settings (as the previous build was of the NoFAT version): http://www.digitalfractions.net/getf...2007-04-27.nds

Keep in mind that these are just temporary fixes that change the IP address in the sourcecode. In the future, a binary based on Microsoft's DNS would be better since Beup wouldn't keep breaking each time they changed the IP.

I'm having problems with the Beup MSN messenger. I've downloaded this (http://forum9.uwants.com/viewthread.php?tid=3671643 - the one with the beup folders included) and I've downloaded this (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...t=57634&page=5) and DLDI patched it. I placed the Beup folder in the root on the simply card as it said I should. I only used the folder from the first download, I didn't use the .nds, since the .nds from the second link was newer.

When I open the program on the DS it asks me to type in the IP. after doing so it automatically fills in the gateway and subnet mask. I've then tried click "use custom" and "use firmware", but nothing happens. It just says "Connecting using firmware setup:" (it says this regardless of which of the two buttons I click)


Does anyone know what to do? I'm also having problems with all other wifi homebrew stuff (such as DSHobro and DSOrganize browser), so maybe it's something I can't fix?


Also, dunno if it matters, but I have a linksys wireless router (I can connect to the internet with my DS games though, so I don't think it's the built-in firewall), I have the old version of the DS and I have a M3 Simply card with a 2GB memorycard...

felixen21 - You need to boot up a game which has wifi connection play, and set up your connection in the game. Then boot up the homebrew apps and it should obtain your connection info from your actual DS.
