First Step In DS Wifi Challenge Complete

Posted by Zonk on from the towards-a-better-bounty dept.

josath writes "The DS Wifi Bounty Milestone 1 has been completed! (previously on /.) The hardware registers to use the wifi built into the Nintendo DS has been documented. This is a huge step, as this was done with absolutely no documentation on the hardware. Stephen Stair has received ~$1400 for this milestone, and is working towards getting the other half by creating a tcp/ip stack. Once a TCP/IP stack is implemented on top of the hardware layer, homebrew NDS developers can start using the wifi in their own apps/games! This comes before Nintendo has officially released any wifi-capable games."

    Stephen Stair must pay Nintendo 1000% of that $1400...

    If this thing can be "compelled" to run arbitrary code, it will have been the wisest investment of my life.

    And beaming mad wein0rpr0n 5pl01tz to your DS will be the comedic highlight of mine, n00b!
