Extend to become a Ni-Fi library #4

Okay, this is very far-fetched but since I suspect the PictoChat procotol to depend on Ni-Fi sessions (like DS Multiplayer games), this library could become a starting point to reverse-engineering all of the DS's Ni-Fi protocols (imagine, homebrew Download Play games from PC) if it becomes developed enough.

Here's an idea: a PC game which uses Nintendo DS as controllers, via Download Play and DS Multiplayer. That would be so cool!

Sorry to punch a hole in one of your hopes here

Without something similar to the Wii's Truncha Bug, there is no way to send an unsigned (by Nintendo) binary to the NDS via DSDLP. At least on the stock Firmware. You can remove that check using CFW, but that's incredibly risky and involves shorting part of your DS's board to enable RW on the firmware chip.

That being said, for Ni-Fi, I can see that working.

Yeah, figures. I remember having read something like that before.

But couldn't HaxxStation help?

As far as I know, that's still serving a ROM signed by Nintendo
