Try 167.235.229.36 as primary DNS and 1.1.1.1 as secondary DNS for your Nintendo DS if that's not working for you! ____________________ Justin the melonDS fan |

Maybe, as long as you either patch ROMs or use the DNS exploit. Whichever you'd like, I guess. ____________________ meh |

Hi. I am trying to use WFC in PKMN HGSS using my computer and my android. I load one ROM in each device using melonds and have setup the Kaeru WFC as primary and secondary DNS. When I enter the wificlub room in HGSS I see the other character, but trying to initiate anything such as a battle or trade causes the game to keep on connecting forever until a message such as "PLAYER failed to respond" or "PLAYER is busy" appears. It doesn't terminate the wifi network, and both of ym characters still remain in the same room. I have tried
- Turning on and off the framerate limiter and the audio async - Have my computer connected to the router while using mobile data on android so that both of these are not on the same wifi network Any help is appreciated, thank you. |

I'm also having that issue, but with me and a friend's computer. When we use the same internet it gives error code 80430, and when one of them is using a phone hotspot it gives error code 86420. |

After much trial and error I'm finally able to to connect to WFC and wait for opponents in Mario Kart DS, however when my friend does the same and we're both in the lobby waiting, we keep getting error code 86420. I've already tried to port forward UDP 1024-65535 and at this point I'm running out of solutions, not sure what to do. I also wanna mention I've attempted the Parsec method but that unfortunately hasn't worked for me either. I'm active on Discord so if you'd like to help me my user is .cuti. feel free to dm me. |

Hey guys! I'm having problems connecting to any of the servers listed in the tutorial. Whenever I do, I always get the error 20110: Nintendo Wi-Fi connection for this software has been discontinued. I'm on melonDS 1.0 RC, trying to play Pokemon Black, and currently have the Kaeru DNS saved in both slots. I'm wondering if the firmware dumps needed for this game could possibly influence the connection? Here's a screenshot:

I've also tried setting my computer's own DNS, using RiiConnect24's self-hosted DNS forwarder, and have confirmed with nslookup that custom DNS servers are not blocked by ISP. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you! |

Can you connect let's say one computer and another computer on the same wifi network and play using LAN/Download Play on MelonDS? Does it support it?
For example, let's say I wanted to play Contra 4 for DS and play Local Multiplayer with 2 computers using the same WIFI, is it possible? |

The link for the up to date android version takes me to a 404 error page on github. Is there an up to date link or do we just have to use the play store version? thanks. |

@DC That recent thread might have an answer for your trouble : https://melonds.kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=1776 . Also, not sure it's WFC related if I understood your problem correctly ____________________ My favourite Pokémon is Jirachi, that's how I would describe me best |

Posted by Shajqueen Posted by Kubbycubs I found a solution. This error is caused by both people having firmware files that use the same MAC address. To change your MAC address: Go to a website that generates random MAC addresses like https://www.browserling.com/tools/random-mac So go to Config -> Firmware Settings. Make sure 'Override settings' is checked. Then copy and paste your randomly generated MAC address into the text box under Network Settings -> MAC address. Restart the emulator or go File -> Boot firmware. Now delete your old Nintendo WFC Configuration, and then setup your Kaeru WFC settings all over again (or whatever WFC you're using). As long as both players are using different MAC addresses, you should be good to go. |

So i'm currently playing Pokemon Platinum and wanted to access the "Flag Capture" feature in Underground which requires WFC. I tried over a week now to get it work but to no avail. There no error codes. I set up MelonDS and WFC like described into the guide. Test Connection successful. But If I go to GTS or in the Underground, I get Bluescreen with "Communication Error. You will be returned to the title screen. Press A to continue.". Things I've tried:
Tried all Primary and Secondary DNS Options Patched my Rom with the WFCPatcher With and Without external BIOS file Direct (npcap) and indirect With and without running MelonDS as Admin Tried Multiple Youtube Tutorial Settings, which are not part of this guide Here are some Screens (Error Message is in German) Any suggestions for things I can try for working Wifi? |

Posted by KathaBlanca I think you got it wrong, Sinnoh underground does not require WFC, it uses local communications. From Bulbapedia: "When entering the Underground, the DS Wireless Communication is activated. Other players within range choosing to enter the Underground will be able to interact in the same set of tunnels." |
