Looks as though it scores in the UI department, at least.

 

[fryguy]

Looks pretty neat. Hope Swedish cities is included too.

 

[ik777]

i like it are there dutch cities too?

 

[ugly_rose]

Yeah, was western Europe included in earlier releases?

 

[thegame07]

It looks a lot like the weather channel on the wii

The earlier version included only western europe. Also dutch cities if i'm not mistaken.

There's still no NA map yet. Other than that it's a great program when I'm on the go.

I can't get this to work on my 2 DS Lite's.
I tried with an R4 and N-Card, the screen just stays black when they connect to the AP.

 

[bobrules]

in r4 you have to wait for 5 seconds.

I can wait 5 minutes and nothing happens.
But now I think of it, wifi lib doesn't see my router (speedtouch 716) either when I use it on a DS Lite, it works on a phat DS or another router.

This one looks better than the other one...is this an update, or a different one?

JPH11200 : the very first weather app on DS is named DS Live Weather, by Lick. However, DS Weather Report is a different project, by me (Sebastien Thon, alias Stravingo).

DS Weather Report version 0.5 is now available on my devblog. It is released just the day after version 0.4 because there was a bug in this previous version when you pressed Y to get help. This has been corrected, and there is already many other emprovements.

Here is the changelog:

- Bugfix: pressing Y for help made the app freeze. It is now corrected.

- Updating data with button X was no longer necessary as data is automatically downloaded when switching for the first time between names/icons/temperatures with button A. So, this function has been disabled.

- Button X is now used to switch between metric units and english units. Yes, you can now have temperatures in Fahrenheit, distances in miles, speeds in mph, etc.

- To accentuate the look of a weather channel, scrolling news headlines are displayed at the bottom of the lower screen. These headlines are live RSS streams coming from various sources: BBC.co.uk, Meteo-world.com, GameSpot.com, PAlib.info, etc. A total of 10 RSS streams are available, but other will be added. You can switch RSS stream by pressing with the stylus on the scrolling headlines.

Thank you SOOO MUCH for Fahrenheit!!!!! I could do the conversion, but it's just plain great not to have to, this is truly one of the most useful programs for the ds, well done! The fit and finish is top notch

 

[bobrules]

Cool a new version. Thanks stravingo

It's funny that you mention that. I don't know what wifi lib is(I'm assuming it's the homebrew Wifi library that's used to access the DS's wifi hardware) but I popped my R4 in to my DS Phat and DS Weather Report worked just fine. It sounds like there is indeed something strange going on between that library and the DS Lite.

Oh and for the record my AP is a Linksys WRT54G, a pretty standard router.

Has anybody managed to get this working on a DS-X?

I've downloaded v0.5 and DLDI patched it for the DS-X, but after a short period of white screens, it goes to black screens with the green power LED flashing.

I'm running v1.1.0 on my DS-X on a phat DS. I've tried the cities.dat in the apps folder and in the root, always the same.

Does the app normally announce itself before trying to connect via WI-FI?
