The DS/PSP WiFi and Wireless Blog.

Team Xlink makes progress

Well, the DS has been available for at least 24 hours in the states - and already a number of Kai users and moderators have begun to analyse the protocol the DS uses to wirelessly communicate.

At this point in time, thanks to some awesome input from Blaze and shadowace, I'm happy to say that im 90% sure that we can tunnel the DS, using the existing kaiEngine codebase. We still have a lot of testing and work to do, but I hope to be able to give you the full story as soon as possible :)

Finally, a note for UK Nintendo fans... *do not* accept the fact that when the DS becomes available here, 4 months after everyone else, you will have to pay over 150 GBP (pounds) for it.. more than twice the retail US price. In my opinion, this policy is absolutely disgusting - I just bought my DS on eBay - I paid $230 for it - 7 GBP less then it will cost me in *March* when it's released over here. I'm just glad that some enterprising guy in the USA got my extra dollars - and not Nintendo. Do not let Nintendo rape you for double the retail price on the DS. Buy from a good ebay seller - make a stand against this cynical marketeering.
