Connecting the emulator to a real DS appears to be a thing some people are wanting. I've seen it mentioned that it's currently not implemented as a feature, but tomorrow I am going to try to test it with friends as an experiment. Hopefully it works.
Either way, MelonDS is an amazing project from its developers. Thank you, Arisotura and Co. |

Well if you count online Wi-Fi than you can connect to a real DS... |

yeah, I guess. if you have a WEP or open access point...
local wifi between melonDS and a DS is another story tho due to the tight timing requirements and the kind of special wifi hardware it'd require, as well as latency induced by OS/drivers/etc, I'm not positive it would ever work. I still want to try it out, tho. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

I remember that Citra developers said the same about their implementation of local wifi.
Although their is local wifi that works over the internet and also over LAN/Same PC. It's just that Console to PC and vice versa is a problem. |

The experiment failed as expected.
You're right about local wifi being an issue and I can understand that. However, it's reasonable to suspect that most people will be in range of an AP. A friend sent me this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdWCH-3iPlE which includes a lot of information regarding this process in the description for anyone else who would like to try. |

Posted by xxDragonSlayerxx can you please tell your friend not to bundle melonDS in dubious rar files and instead link to our download page where users can download the latest release? Posted by Mark is it possible that you're using either an old version and/or that you're using Direct Mode while you're connected to the internet via wifi? ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!

Posted by Mark did you try the indirect mode, it should work out of the box? Direct mode isn't recommended anymore. ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go! "clearly you need to mow more lawns and buy a better pc" - Hydr8gon |

Posted by Generic aka RSDuck Well it seems like the video is old and maybe the wifi related code was not in the latest official release. Or it contains files for easy configuration of the emulator lol. |

I'm currently trying to set up MelonDS wifi so I can play some games online, however, whenever I test the connection, I get error code "52100." This occurs with both DNS's I've seen as viable, in the test connect and when I try connecting in-game. My PC is in rough shape right now, since my good graphics card died and I have no on-board graphics I've had to use one not compatible with my current OS, but MelonDS itself runs well.
I have no access to the router I'm using for internet, since I'm on (honestly very, very solid) college internet. Ethernet connection, direct connect on, NPCap downloaded, the appropriate connection for my ethernet cable selected, all that is set up as well. I'm following Aphelion Gaming's video "MelonDS Full Setup Guide - DS/DSI Emulator For PC," and this is the only part that doesn't go as in the video. He appears to be on an older version than me, 0.8.3 as opposed to 0.9, but I don't believe that's enough of a difference. Some research of my own indicated that error code 52100 is often associated with some router trouble, but I can't find any further information on the exact cause or any solutions, exacerbated by my lack of access to the college router. If anyone can tell me where things are going wrong and how I can fix it, it'd be greatly appreciated. |

You don't need to use Direct Mode, you can use the new Indirect Mode with melonDS 0.9. Disable Direct Mode in the settings and melonDS will automatically use Indirect Mode, which is more reliable. ____________________
How to write an emulator
1. throw code to be emulated somewhere 2. make memory system that allows accessing that code 3. emulate CPU 4. have fun implementing all the other hardware -- Arisotura, Tuesday 5th January 2021, 22:00:17 |

Posted by WaluigiWare64 I tried Indirect mode, but I'm still getting the same error messages. 52100 if I try a DNS for ALTWFC, 52101 if I try for Wiimmfi. I don't think this is caused by direct or indirect mode. |

Posted by Jackwolf5775 Look up in this thread or in previous ones on this forum for a solution. It got something to do with the ISP/router blocking the DNS from working on your PC. |

Posted by Sorer Then I might be boned since I can't access the router (college internet) and I have no idea how to modify the DNS since the only tutorial I can find on DNS settings is about some google stuff. That said, there *is* another update in that I found a problem on my end relating to modifying the DS internet settings in a game. Whenever I change the wi-fi settings in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Echoes of Time, the firmware.bin file stops working, booting to a white screen and never passing it. I can still load games if I skip firmware, but the issues might be related in some way I don't understand. |

Posted by Jackwolf5775 That means you've downloaded those old hacked firmware dumps. ____________________

Hi all, I have an issue with Pokémon Black Version 2. I have a copy of White 2 (it's technically only on an emulator on my custom firmware 3DS, but I've tested it and it has complete Wi-Fi capability and no problems connecting with my actual cartridge games) that I'm trying to connect to Black 2 from melonDS. I have used this copy of White Version 2 to connect to my actual games (White Version 1) with C-Gear, to battle and trade with them, and there's no issue. However, when I try to have the Black 2 show up in C-Gear, it doesn't - and Unova Link doesn't work either. However, Wi-Fi seems to be fully functional, as my configurations on Melon let me use the GTS on Black 2 no problem. So, my question is, what is the problem with Black 2? It connects to Wi-Fi fine with AltWFC but isn't able to connect to the C-Gear at all. Any ideas? Thanks.
Notes: - Although I don't think this is relevant, as the melonDS Wi-Fi clearly works fine, I will mention: I don't actually have a real "Ethernet" connection. I have a laptop, so I use my iPhone and tether to it's hotspot. When you do this with iTunes, it registers as an Ethernet connection in the internal settings of the laptop. Also, melonDS also seems to believe that it is Ethernet. - Wi-Fi settings in melonDS are such: Bind socket to any address: checked. Randomize MAC address: left blank. Direct Mode selected. Network adaptor: Ethernet. Any help is tremendously appreciated!!! TLDR: Pokémon Black Version 2, WFC works fine but C-Gear doesn't work at all. Edit: Hi again, quick edit - I'm actually becoming less convinced that Wi-Fi is working on melonDS. - 1: While I can connect to GTS, it seems that no matter what Pokemon I choose, the game tells me it wasn't found. I'm positive that on AltWFC at least some of those Pokemon would be available - I tried a ton. Also, I tried connecting to my White Version 2 through the Musical Theater, which gives you the option to choose strictly between Infrared (which is a C-Gear feature) and DS Wireless Connections. I chose the latter, and couldn't connect to my White 2 copy - even though that's a feature I've utilized before. Thanks again for any help. |

1. could it be possible that you have mixed up wifi and wireless communication? Wireless is only emulated for melonDS <-> melonDS because your computer can't send a signal which the DS can pickup. Wifi on the other hand works between emulator and a real game because it requires a server in the middle.
2. Not every WFC replacement server supports all functionality (Battling, personal trading, GTS, battle camera…). https://pkmnclassic.net/ is specialised in Pokemon I think they provide most of it. 3. Don't use direct mode anymore. With 0.9 or later indirect mode (direct mode being disabled) is the recommend setting because it doesn't require pcap or an ethernet connection. ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!
