just pushed up v3.0 with lots of neat stuff.
-added LZO compression when using HaxxStation to make things send over quicker
-added program init prints to easily debug any issues with it
-added GameYob and nesDS emulators with dummy ROMs so you can directly send over .nes/.gb/.gbc files
For the .nes/.gb/.gbc files you can just put them into the "srl" folder as well, the program will then automatically build the nds rom to send over.
I'm getting stuck on Stopping WC24. I'm guessing it's the same step I was getting stuck on on the <2.1 versions.

Also getting stuck on Stopping WC24 for some reason. Gonna try disabling it under settings if it isn't already.
edit: Disabled it and it still gets stuck there. Strange.
I wonder if it needs the opposite, having it and wlan enabled or something, I remember having both enabled maybe only for that case that call is needed and it otherwise just freezes? That'd be quite questionable design by nintendo but oh well, would not be the first time.

I had wifi and wc24 enabled, but was not connected to wifi.

Tried it out. Works great, thanks a lot :yaynds::yaywii:

Something I could notice however is that when you do several sequenced downloads, whether transmitting the same or a different software, the download speed gets slower and slower, up to a point that the download stops in mid-process (whether it's downloading the download station client or the software we want to play). This gets kinda restarted when restarting the Wii, but keeps happening if you do several downloads again. As far as it goes it doesn't really affect anything besides cancelling if it gets too slow, but I find it worth mentioning. Thanks anyway, it's surely a wonderful application

maybe you should try set the delay timing higher then because at a certain limit (seems to be different from wifi chip to chip) the sends just get so close together that it starts failing sends and taking forever to actually get a packet sent over.

I get -33 printed repeatedly.
Of course it does LOL good thing I stepped away from the code for a bit; that entire code bit was not required and actually did something that is not even required for this, only got into the code in the first place thanks to my copy-paste from some nintendont code in which I copied too much over, so now I pushed v3.1 which should fix this issue and should make it boot quicker too :)

just to test it i have tried to boot it with my n3ds xl (EUR) . It is stuck on "Downloading..." but the packets finished downloading
as I already said a couple times now and as it says in the readme, increase the delay timing then since this is obviously a send issue.

Retails roms don't work. Only download play demos, nes/gbc roms (I think roms smaller than 2 MB), and homebrew without dldi.

edit: nes (guessing gbc haven't tried yet, edit: gbc works fine, pokemon crystal is 2.1 mb and sends) roms over 2 mb don't work, which is strange since the nesDS singles builds a rom that's about 3.3 MB with a 2.1 MB rom in it. How come the nesDS build you have increase the file size so much?

Ok so 8MB nds rom won't work either but super mario bros NES version booted.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
