Hi

I have a DSI XL I want to play MKDS on while playing on Wiimmfi. I followed MrBean35000vr's video on how to do this by changing the DNS of the network (Open hotspot from my phone, don't know if that's important). I followed all the instructions correctly and then went to connect to Wiimmfi. It all seems normal, at least for the first couple of seconds. After that, the wheel in the bottom right corner begins to hang a little. Then after a few more seconds, the entire DSI freezes and hangs, requiring a reboot.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but if any of you know, please let me know.

Some info that may be useful:
DSI Frimware: 1.4.5U
Network: Open hotspot from my phone
DNS used: 164.132.44.106
If you need any other info, let me know

Thanks :)

I was having the same problem. I was never able to connect my dsi to wiimmfi, but I was able to connect it to the AltWFC server by barronwaffles on github. Same way as on the Mr. Beans tutorial, just a different DNS. I also had to go into the Nintendo WFC options and erase my profile, since the new servers cannot easily recognize profiles that were created on the original server. After I changed those two things I was able to connect. I would still like to be able to connect to wiimmfi though, because that service has a lot more users. I'm still very new to the DSi hacking scene, so if anyone else has a better solution I'd love to hear it.

I know this is old but did any of you solve this, got the exact same thing.

EDIT: found the issue, you need to remove all your friends from the records menu, even if you have never played on WFC before.

    as to you

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
