I don't think Windows nowadays even supports creating WEP hotspots anymore, it may still be possible to create open hotspots but Connectify only does WPA2. Linux works though, or so I've heard.
Yep, since 7 came with its hostednetwork hotspot feature, probably literally every 3rd party software became a frontend to that
(before that there still was no native hotspot option, only ad-hoc... which in fact they apparently removed in 8)

Ironically the best written memory of the old days I know of is... the guide to hacked drivers for the WFC dongle (gamefaqs > DS > console > walkthroughs)

I ran into "this" issue a while back.
If you have a raspberry pie 3B (or any one with wifi) laying around, there is a repository you can install on raspbian, which adds pre determined wifi hosting settings with a nice browser based interface.

Next you'll need to look up wep on raspberry and you'll find a post detailing which settings you'll need to change in the config file to make it wep (the repository only offers newer, safer standards).

I have too look up a password when I get home, but I think I can manage to make an installable clone of my setup for use with DS's.

Edit.
Here's the edit you need to make:

And here's the repository with the nice ap software:

I have paid license, mac filtering isn't an option, and you are required to set a password.

I don't think Windows nowadays even supports creating WEP hotspots anymore, it may still be possible to create open hotspots but Connectify only does WPA2. Linux works though, or so I've heard.

That's right, Linux can create WEP hotspots without a problem, and for those who don't mind setting up a Bootable USB stick or using Linux already, it's a method I can recommend.
I wrote up a tutorial for how to do this on GNOME desktops a while ago here. The tutorial assumes you already are able to boot into a Linux-based OS in some way or another. https://gbatemp.net/threads/create-an-nds-compatible-hotspot-on-linux.543283/

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So MJ no longer wants to play with it?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    He put it down when the 3ds came out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
