Win2DS Tutorial

01-23-2006, 04:54 PM

Win2DS (click for download) is an application for the Nintendo DS which uses a server and the DS's built in WiFi cabailities to connect to your Windows PC. You will need a DS that is able to run homebrew code in order to use this. It will eventually contain many useful remote operations to control your Windows PC, but for now it can act as a virtual mouse and keyboard, and can recieve screenshots of your desktop.
To run homebrew code, you will need a Flash card, such as the GBAMP, and use FlashMe, PassMe or WifiMe to get it to boot. You can also opt to use WifiMe to send the data to your DS wirelessly, in this case you don't need a Flash card.

Unzip the Win2DS.zip, and run Win2DS.exe on the machine you want to connect to. Enter a password and click 'Start server'. For you to be able to connect, you will need to turn all your encryption off.
Start your DS, and use the menu on your Flash card to start DS2Win.nds or DS2Win.ds.gba. Which one you need to start depends on your card. Using WifiMe, you will need the DS2Win.nds file.
In the Win2DS Main Menu, enter 'Settings', and enter the IP of the machine you want to connect to under 'Server IP'. If you do not use the 192.168.x.x as your standard IP range, you will have to adjust the other settings to match.
Go back to the Main Menu, and select 'Connect'. From the list of AP's that appear, select the one the server is on (obviously). Enter your password on using the keyboard on the touch screen and press A. A picture of whatever is on the screen of the server machine will appear. You can now control the mouse with the touch screen, using L as the Left Mouse Button and Dpad-Up as the Right Mouse Button. You can use the keyboard by pressing select, and a keyboard will appear on the touch screen. Have Fun!

Note: This is v0.1a, so the functionality is limited. You CAN access your machine via the internet, but you will not see any picture and it will be very slow.

This APP looks like its a lot of fun, and I would love to mess around with the thing, but it refuses to work for me.

Get the app on my supercard and run in DS mode and start the DS version, and I get two black screens. Nothing happens, and it is the same for the GBA version too.

Anybody have some suggestions?

I have a M3 Sd too and it works!

It doesnt work for me either. I try ds2win.ds.gba and it doesnt work and shows two black screens and win2ds.ds just same thing.
Edit: To make it work the file that says ds2win.gba.ds rename it to "ds2win.gba.nds". It works like that and put that file on your cf or sd card and run it and it will work. Im using it now I just forgot to edit the settings.

Not only did Nintendo announce the new Nintendo DSi, it also announced a brand new accessory for the Nintendo DS handhelds. The Nintendo DS pedometer will be used in an upcoming fitness game from Nintendo. The name of this game hasn’t been announced yet, but it will probably be something like Lifestyle Rhythm DS. The pedometer and the fitness game are due to come out this November in Japan.
