Playing the Game Boy DS Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Torrey Clark writes "NitroOnline is a project that is currently being developed that will allow Nintendo DS owners to play Wireless enabled games via the internet. It will require a wireless router, and a wireless card in your PC or laptop to communicate with your Nintendo DS."

  1. this project is a joke by monkey_jam · · Score: 5, Interesting

    these guys have been hawking this project for weeks now, with nothing to show. They have no site and their entire project seems to revolve around drumming up support from all the 12 year olds in the warppipe forums.

    You want real tunneling with the DS? Team XLINK are working on it..

    The Nitro peeps are claiming 100% comaptibility with all wireless NICs in windows. Now this is impossible as most cards will not support promisc mode in windows, not to mention that they ignore BSS stuff most of the time.

  2. Both router and pc card? by lazn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why would it need both a wireless router and a wireless PC card? It would seem to me the wireless PC card would be enough... (then some form of high speed internet access on the PC)

  3. This article is pathetic. Do your research ./! by GFLPraxis · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is completely pathetic. I can't believe this article was even posted.

    1) Nitro Online are complete fools. They continually promise things, then change the story. Check out the current builds, there is hardly ANYTHING there. They have made almost no progress, and make promises that are literally impossible. This article should be about Team XLink, as they are the ONLY ONES who have successfully tunneled the DS.

    2) GameBoy DS? More proof that the guy who wrote this doesn't know what he's doing. The Nintendo DS is N-O-T a GameBoy.

    3) Teamxlink.org. Go there. Now. Seriously, Nitro Online are just trying to steal the limelight.
