Homebrew Nifi Homebrew Project

[Dentus]

I have never found a homebrew Nifi game/app so I always thought it would be a cool idea. The only library that supports it (that I could find) was MicroLua. So I created a short demonstration. This is just a demo, I realize this game is very bad. Note, I tried to upload a video, but it was blocked.

Nifi?

Nifi is Nintendo's local wifi. For connecting to other ds systems without an access point or internet. It is different from Nintendo's Wifi Connection which is for all ds online games.

It'd be great if you could share the demo with us.

This homebrew also supports nifi: https://github.com/RocketRobz/NesDS

Ah, I didn't know that. Here is the demo file. Note, since I did not compile it yet, you will need Microlua on your sd card.

There is also a cquake version using nifi. https://gbatemp.net/threads/cquake-nifi-ds-2-ds-local-multiplayer.350334/

If we can use the nifi in any of the emulator will be awesome

I think that the ds wifi lib actually supports nifi but it's avoided by devs because it can interfere with normal wifi network connections

The wifi library used by cquake does not use broadcast to send data so it should not have this issue. It is based on dswifi but rewrote the association code and uses a different library for network protocols.

The question is, does this work with pure libnds or no?

Yes, the only dependency is libnds. It does not use the dswifi library. There is both arm9 and arm7 code. It uses fnet which I copied into the cnquake repository. I did some limited testing with tcpip which seemed to work, but cnquake uses udp only.
