Implement Wi-Fi Plaza

[mm201]

I've already figured out Platinum's gamestats encryption. Remaining work is to implement the gamestats handlers and make a peerchat server.

http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#peerchat

• [x] Peerchat server
• [x] GETCHANKEY support
• [ ] checkProfile.asp
• [ ] getSchedule.asp, esp. Mew room support
• [x] getVIP.asp Enable VIP status for guests?
• [ ] Questionnaires

[mm201]

I'm already running my own peerchat. The current barrier is matchmaking on the altwfc server.

What's news about Wifi Plaza support ?

[mm201]

Altfwc matchmaking needs to be fixed before I can finish off the rest of the gamestats work.

[mm201]

That's a timeout. Nobody is found so it can't get any further.

[ghost]

So there has to be 2 people trying to connect at same time?

[ghost]

@mm201 I may have found the issue. The game sends GETCHANKEY and SETCHANKEY which is not implemented in any peerchat server but Openspy's, and that requires a db for peerchat which they never released the SQL for.

[ghost]

UPDATE: I've been with @GottemHams from the UnrealIRCd support server: we have a channel key module that is working, however we need RE for the following "channel keys" (variables)

GETCHANKEY #GSP!pokemonplatds!R!M!C60020476 016 0 :\b_lib_c_time
GETCHANKEY #GSP!pokemonplatds!R!M!C60020476 017 0 :\b_lib_c_lobby

All sourcecode is to be released along with (hopefully) working instructions once we work out how it wants the above keys to be set. @mm201 would you be able to help in that regard?

[GottemHams]

I've restructured my repo, so here's the new link FYI: https://gitgud.malvager.net/Wazakindjes/unrealircd_mods/src/master/uncommon/m_wiimmfi_dsplaza.c

It's not functional yet, the DS keeps asking for the keys @PokeAcer549 mentioned. I've yet to figure out what it wants. ;_;

[the4anoni]

any news ?

[ghost]

Well ofc not, if it worked it'd have been announced :wink:

[the4anoni]

How can i help ? (firstly read my post in game sync issue)

[GottemHams]

@the4anoni: PokeAcer549 mentioned some key-related commands. We need to know what output/return values they expect. But I'm not familiar at all with Openspy, my cup of tea is UnrealIRCd. ;_;

[ghost]

@sepalani may be able to help us, as he's started his Gamestats wiki and Peerchat stuff may also be nice to have.

[dmoeenm]

Is there anything i can help with here i wanna get the wifi plaza back so we can get one of gen 4s biggest problems out the way all i need to know is what i need to do

[ghost]

Currently? Either reverse engineer Platinum/HG/SS' WiFi plaza section so that we know how to recode the plugin, or find packet dumps.

[vigneshd332]

But does rvrse engineering violate copyright? Why don't you reverse engineer it, find how to do it, then do it in a different way

[sepalani]

@vigneshd332 Reverse engineering might be illegal in some cases depending on the country legislation. It might violate copyright but shutting down these services might have violated other laws depending on the country (though, we agreed Nintendo chart before playing online), that might make reverse engineering legal. It's legal in most countries and for educational purposes in general (be sure that it is legal in YOUR country).

Anyway, reverse engineering is time-consuming and some people doesn't necessary have enough time and resources to make enough progress in a short amount of time. That is mainly why there is no progresses at all for the time being.

[vigneshd332]

Is it possiblein your country. Which is your country? Is it possibke in india?

[dmoeenm]

Alright well then i know what i can do now but before i begin ill check if its legal where i live

[dmoeenm]

I can use my soulsilver for this

[dmoeenm]

Apparently it is possible where i live to reverse engineer just under certain circumstances

[trilleplay]

I think some reverse engeenering fall under the Digital Milennium Act !

[sepalani]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering#Legality

I'm not concerned about US laws and DMCA. UE directives differ depending on the country as well. You've have to be aware of your own country's laws, anyway.

Regardless, all this discussion concerning reverse engineering is off-topic and doesn't help to solve that issue.

[dmoeenm]

But i must ask before i begin what do you guys use as ill need to set things up before i start to try and do this also im not very familiar with the ds and such so i might ask for help along the way but i do have coding experience so ill try as much as i can

[vigneshd332]

Yeah we need a leader. Which coding languge should we use?

[ghost]

Perhaps use C or similar, so that it works on all platforms. Plus, you will need to RE a lot before you can code.

[dmoeenm]

Okay and RE?

[vigneshd332]

What's RE?

[vigneshd332]

Going to use c#. Give me a haedstarrt and some info how and wheere to start.

[ghost]

Hi, I am too busy to do this. I am not going to be helping you.

[dmoeenm]

You must have your work cut out for you expecially see what you've been working on

[vigneshd332]

I know this guy @akinshark he is my junior. He can help us out

[dmoeenm]

Okay

[AkinShark]

Reverse engineering Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers to play Nintedo DS and Wii games. Nintendo has shut down its official servers. So we are making our own custom servers to bring the awesome gaming experience that many peoplemissed back. Tell me which proggramming languages you. Know

[vigneshd332]

Tell me if you want some games to know how they work. Tell @dmoeenm here what programming languges u know.

[mm201]

This is going off-topic. If you want to write your own server, please discuss it in a more appropriate place than a Github issue of another project.

[vigneshd332]

I just said him what were doing basically here. He is going to help woth altwfc. I am the official issue solver .

[dmoeenm]

@mm10 i wanted to help on this server not make my own o just want to help you get the wifi plaza up and running because that will be a big problem in gen 4 removed so the only thing you'll need to worry about is the leaderboards and gen 5s problems

[dmoeenm]

Im sorry for what i said i hope that in no way that i have offended you mm201 i just wanted to help since i know you have a lot of work to do and at times it can be hard but not impossible for you to do alone i know its not the best apology but i just wanted to say im sorry and if you wouldn't mind help in any way just tell me

[dmoeenm]

hey i gotta ask is someone testing the WiFi plaza or some other gen 4 feature or is the server offline because there has been someone playing in the diamond pearl platinum heartgold and soulsilver id for a week or so now like every day this shows up on the server pokemondpds
1 i thought it was just someone looking to play online with someone and although i think it could still be that i do know that you guys gotta test things so i'm asking just to make sure

[mm201]

That's a bug with the altwfc server. It periodically gets stuck and needs to be restarted.

[dmoeenm]

Oh my bad well what is it that you're working on right now i would like to hear about some of your progress because im interested

[justviet]

how is the progress

[FM1337]

any updates on this?

[dmoeenm]

Isnt this basicaly working @mm201

[InternalLoss]

Rolling into here: the Peerchat server is publiicly available and works fine, but i have a feeling there's no wifi plaza dumps :p

[InternalLoss]

Update that's totally not late at all; the WiFi Plaza works, but afaik the Mew room isn't available (shutter and mm201 already tried some responses and the game crashes), and the survey text, submission, and results aren't actually being generated by the server (or at least, theyre just replayed responses)

[guillepecado]

hello everyone, so, are telling me that the wifi plaza its now working on altwfc? i am playing pokemon platinum and heartgold with twloader on a cfw 3ds and cfw new3dsxl. tell me if can help me with something, or money, it would be awesome to see that again. thanks!
