I am running at 1600*1200, so there is lag, but that is to be expected, this app is win.

hmm, sounds kinda cool, can you use the internet browser within the program ie use firefox while accessing your pc with this program, also can you view whats in your folders too? like pictures, text files, mp3's and video files? can you run programs also?

You can do everything because PC do it

DS just take screenshot of the monitor.

This version has a lot of improvement.
clearer picture
refeash rate

but I see some thing wrong here...game pad mode, the screens dont turn off

 

[terminator99]

give me an example on how to set this up Please!

 

[guigr]

Now just improve the refresh rate to 30FPS so I can play Gears of War on my DS!

 

[Doggy124]

give me an example on how to set this up Please!

1.Run Win2DS.exe on the PC
2.Run Win2DS.(for your cart)
3.select auto detect (it should auto connect to AP)
4.input IP of you PC
5.Choose mode
- virtual, control PC with screenshot on DS
- gamepad DS will turn screens off (but I found a bug) and let you use DS as controller
(similar to Virtual but no screenshot)

custom key - select key you want
disconnect

Sounds really good...the idea of remoting my PC's whilst in bed would be heaven!!! (I'm a lazy b*****d!

)

Going out to the shops now, but will be rushing back to try this out!!!

make sure you have entered the right IP address (your PC's one)

make sure the PC side program is running properly.

make sure router settings allow DS homebrew.

try that guys!

 

[Bamboo]

thanks,
currently my pc connects to my router for internet.
if i want to play a game online with my ds it connects to my router also.
does this program connect directly to my pc or the router ?
if it connects to my pc how do i do this ?

are there any step by step instructions for this ?

 

[OSW]

it goes from

DS to Router to PC
and vice versa
PC to Router to DS

if ur using windows XP, go Start menu -> Run -> type "cmd" -> tap ENTER
command box pops up
type in command box "ipconfig" then tap ENTER

look for IP Address........... XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

use that IP address on ur DS

 

[slayerspud]

best homebrew on ds.
Typing this using it. Though anyone know how to zoom in the bottom screen more easily, rather than using the top one?
