So here it is, supposedly the very first hackless way for keep playing the online (Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or Nintendo WFC) multiplayer modes on various Nintendo DS / Nintendo DSi games, by using/connecting directly to the Wiimmfi (http://wiimmfi.de) servers.

Kaeru WFC

For use it, you don't need to have your DS/DSi/3DS hacked, just do these steps:

  1. Open the "Nintendo WFC Settings" menu in any WFC-enabled DS game. On Nintendo DSi, you can also go into System Settings -> Internet, using the first three slots. On Nintendo 3DS, go into System Settings -> Internet Settings -> Nintendo DS Connections.
  2. Select "Wi-Fi Connection Settings" and select the slot you wish to use. (If you haven't already done so, you'll need to set up a Wi-Fi connection profile using a compatible WEP or unsecured access point.)
  3. Scroll down and set "Auto-obtain DNS" to "No", then set both Primary DNS and Secondary DNS to this:
178.62.43.212

4. Finally, save the new settings - you can run a connection test, if you like - and exit the WFC menu.​
Personally i only tested Mario Kart DS but it works flawlessly! :D

It works on:
  • Nintendo DS
  • Nintendo DSi
  • Nintendo 3DS/2DS
  • melonDS (yes, it works on melonDS too, since version v0.9.5)!
You can get more info about this project and support here: https://kaeru.world/projects/wfc

(DISCLAIMER: I do not own nor made this project, i'm just letting know this for all GBAtempers and DS players.)

Greetings! :D

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?
    :rofl2:
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There has to be some mutual agreement with them all anything over $600 is just pc territory

    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
