NDS

[kiya]

Can someone tell me how to do the nds online game play and where can i get the stuff to buy to do so?
Also is it possible the use the internet from the ds? I saw that this was possible somewhere on the internet.

u need a router or the ds wifi chip to play online. buy a router in most computer stores. about using the internet on the ds i doh think so

[kiya]

ok i am sorry for sounding like a total fool but  i just walk up to  someone in the pc store and ask them for a router? ok any idea how much it will cost and how do i set it up( i know i sound like a fool  )

Hey no need to worry about sounding like a total fool we're all here to learn. If I had even a remote idea what a NDS was maybe I could have helped lol.

you could either use a wireless connection at home, or one at a hotspot.( have a few.. like airport, uwi, various joints in town....found one outside the port of spain jail.. but thas a next story)


i take it you want to use a wireless connection at home

buy a router.. should set you back between $300- $500 for a 802.11g  set..  create the network..( you probably gonna get a cd that automatically configures for you..or google, or ask in this forum when you reach that bridge)

the DS has a couple different options to connect to the net..(check the site above.. ).. and  thas it.. u should be square

thanks that was helpfull. but the thing is i dont have a fast connection like right now the speed is 48.0 kbps. Will it still work well or at all?

i really dont recomend you playing DS on dialup. Its so frustrating you might as well stay offline. I ddint know wifi supported dialup but okay. You dont need a router. You just need the WiFi USB plug in and you good. I had a router at first. Its a pain in the @ss to configure for the DS. I HIGHLY recomend you buy the WiFi USB plugin, i have it. You plug it into your USB port, install the software and you good to go. Online.
Post up your friend code when you online. We can Mario Kart or Metroid

[kiya]

ok do you know where they sell the wifi usb plug in and how much will it cost.Though i dont have eather of those games so i may have to buy them.

[shivadee]

in Trinidad i dont know. You will more than likely have to order it in. And get the games with or before you buy the adaptor. But its worth it. You have DSL right?

[kiya]

wow i cant get anything online by parents the the game buying types so anything i want i have to save for it( it took me more than a year to save up enough money to get my NDS. oh well maby i can check out a hot spot can someone tell me for sure where they are an when do they open.

[justinkoo]

i think the gamezone in curepe have mario kart. the plug in however never seen one selling here

[disciple]

there's one in uwi ( have to get a studentid and password to access the proxy server though)

saw a sign yesterday in trincity mall; gamezone(? i think is them)  providing coverage in the food court for free

movietowne supposed to have as well...

and the airport

with regards to gettin the usb adapter, once yuh have the money, it should not be a problem..   i sure some kind soul at hq may be able to hook you up with the purchase

[BloodWar]

never knew so many people in trinidad used DS =) i got nintendo DS with 2 games metroid and meteos i guess ill order the usb thing online

[Falener]

What do you mean it sticks on dial-up. It plays smoothly on mine, I have no complaints. The adapter is $40usd by the way. Where do you see the friend code thing and can anyone give me theres. I fed up of them people leaving the game, which ends it, because they are gonna lose, especially in Mario Kart!!!
