toms Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Wireless networking is the spawn of the devil. As i understand it the DS itself already supports wireless-b networking. So it should already work with most routers and wireless hotspots. So you don't need to buy the adapter - its just for people who haven't wirelessed their pc yet. (correct?) I already have a WPA usb adapter in the back of my PC that connects to the router downstairs. If i stuch another USB wireless adapter in the back of my PC (the nintendo one or otherwise) would I be able to have WEP on the DS->PC bit and WPA on the PC->Router bit? Would XP throw a fit if it had to cope with tow different adapters with two different drivers and two different security policies? I had enough toruble getting just one to work. (had to send back 2 different PCI adapters before i got a USB one that worked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes! I found a DS on Ebay for only $27, and it includes Super Mario 64. There were a couple other ones around $25-30, and they all had around a day left to bid. If the price doesn't go too high, hopefully around $50 at the highest, I'll definitely get one. Hopefully one of them won't shoot up too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 64 version is the bestI second that, although I do not know the DS version. I also liked Diddy Kong Racing a lot, which is kind of similar to MK but much much harder to beat. I remember beatin' Wizpig the first time in a 2 hour session, just to find myself in space and after beating him the second time I nearly cried because the end was not even near .. it was most funful. But Mario Kart is of course the must MP game of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'm getting very tempted. And if I can pick one up with a movie player and cf card on ebay then I might be even more tempted. I do wiish they'd made it look a bit cooler though, cos i just saw my first GB Micro in the wild and that looks soo much cooler.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Nintendo will one day release a redesigned DS. And that day will be: (dramatic pause) the day after I break down and buy one. I'm SOOOOO close to putting one on my xmas list, but since they said they were thinking of releasing a redesigned one I don't know what to do. Thye should bring it out pretty quick to cash in on xmas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 @ toms: Buy one now, then when the day comes when the redesigned version comes out, trade in your old one for the new one and be glad you didn't spend 2 years waiting.

BongoBob Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 MKDS is a double edged sword right now. My little brother is obsessed with it, but he can't beat the chalenges and so now 11 kinds of hell have been raised Think I could get an insanity bargain?
