Hey I just got a DS for Christmas ;D and I have a few questions about it
The DS I got is a Japanese one which is ok caus I managed to change the language to English but obviously the instruction book is all in Japanese. When I go on the download bit it says "looking for software to download" and it doesnt do anything after that. I'm guessing I have to be connected to the internet to do this but I don't know how :-/. I've read a lot of stuff about WiFi, what is this? And is this what I need to make the download thing work? Please help me caus I'm totally new at this.
Also, does anyone know if its posible to make a N64 emulator for the DS? That'd be so cool, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Thanks!

After you press DS download play, it says Looking for Availible software for download but it takes forever to find anything even if their is another game being played right next to me. I waited about twenty minutes and nothing. Please tell me how long it takes and what I am doing wrong.

From what I neard, the DS has 4 megs of memory where you can download demos from nintendo onto it through Wifi.
Would it be possible for somebody to emulate the server the DS is supposed to connect to on his PC using WIFI and upload his own code into the DS?
Obviously you cant hack it since the DS dosent allow you to overwrite any of its programming, but you would be able to upload your own sample programs that way woudlent you?
Let me try to explain this easier for those that dont get it, since many seemed confused on other places where I posted this.
1. The DS can connect through WIFI (not the wireless link, I mean wireless internet) through your computer or router or whatever and eventually connects to Nintendo.
2. From there the DS can download demos and anything else Nintendo put online for the DS straight into itself for you to play demos or minigames (its similar to the Gamecube link of the GBA, except instead of the gamecube sending the GBA a mini program, Nintendo's internet site is sending the DS a mini program or game demo)
3. What im saying is that if you can make your computer minic the location of Nintendo's website (you would need to disconnect your computer from the internet to do that) when the DS tries to connect to Nintendo's website it would actually be connecting to your computer.
4. From then on you could possibly upload your OWN code/demo/emulator/whatever DS code onto the DS and run it on the DS.
Is this possible? What do you think?

Nintendo DS sales have topped one million units in both the USA and Japan, Nintendo announced today, as the company revealed that the combined shipment figures across both regions would exceed 2.8 million by the end of the year.[br][br]The platform holder also reiterated that details of the European launch will be revealed in early 2005, as retailers continue to speculate on a late March launch date - many already offering pre-orders.[br][br]Within less than a week of launching in the US on November 21st, more than half a million DS units had been sold, Nintendo said today, leading to stock shortages around the country as 90 per cent of the launch allocation was snapped up by eager fans.[br][br]It took just four days to achieve the same level of sales in Japan, where the unit launched on December 2nd.[br][br]As we hone in on Christmas, the vast shipments of DS units are still struggling to satisfy demand - anecdotal evidence on Internet forums and discussion groups talk of widespread shortages, while major online retailers like Amazon.com are also having trouble acquiring stock.[br][br]Sony, meanwhile, having sold out its 200,000-unit launch allocation of PlayStation Portables in just one day in Japan, is aiming to have half a million available in the region before the end of the year - leaving it some way short of Nintendo's figures.[br][br]Both units have been well received by the media so far, with games like Super Mario 64 DS on Nintendo's side and Ridge Racers on the PSP earning high praise all round.

Turns out it might not be 'all about the games' for Nintendo after all - a slew of fresh info about the Japanese giant's upcoming Play-Yan device, which lets you play MP3 music files and MPEG4 video files on your GBA SP or DS.[br]And we're very excited. For a start it's now being widely reported that Play-Yan is compatible with DS, although this has not been officially confirmed and every prototype shot we've seen shows the system slotted into a GBA SP. Still, with Sony's PSP counting multimedia playback as a killer app it would seem crazy for Play-Yan not to be compatible with DS.[br][br]And there's no physical reason why it shouldn't work in DS. Designed in conjunction with Panasonic and expected to launch in Japan in February 2005 with a reasonable 5000 Yen price tag (about £25), Play-Yan looks like a normal GBA cartridge - so it'll certainly fit into the DS's GBA cart slot. [br][br]You'll get your music and movies onto your GBA or DS by transferring files onto an SD card, which will then slot into the Play-Yan cartridge. We've heard that the device could even come bundled with a 256 Mb SD card, which would hold around 2 hours of video or 4 hours of music, but you can pick up compatible cards pretty cheaply these days.[br][br]In terms of battery drain, Nintendo reckon you'll be able to squeeze 15 hours of music or 5 hours of movie from one charge - read it and weep, PSP fans. The reason for the extra-long music playback time is that after 30 seconds of inactivity your GBA will continue to play music but go into sleep mode, saving your precious charge.[br][br]Organising your music collection looks to be simple, too. Your tracks are organised into separate folders that you access by moving a wee stick man around and then selecting what you want to hear. There's even a headphones socket built into the Play-Yan cart, so you can enjoy stereo sound in private.[br][br]In terms of movie playback, you'll be able to enjoy video up to a resolution of 320x240 in MPEG4 or SD-Video format - so you should be able to watch video from a compatible digital camcorder. Reports state that the playback quality isn't earth-shattering but pretty impressive for a GBA screen (apparently when used on a DS the playback is identical, much like playing a regular GBA game on the new system) and you've got full control over the video via the D-pad and buttons. Pressing left and right on the D-pad seeks forward and back, up and down on the D-pad adjusts the volume, the left trigger adjust volume and the start button pauses.[br][br]There are a couple of disappointments: apparently Nintendo won't bundle SD card file transfer software with Play-Yan, so you'll have to look after that yourself. And worse - Play-Yan is only confirmed for Japan at the moment, and the initial launch will be a limited online roll out. We're praying Nintendo bring the peripheral to the US and Europe.[br][br]Potential availability problems aside, Play-Yan sounds like a fantastic piece of kit to turn your GBA or DS into a multimedia hub. Sony must feel slightly worried that the mooted battery drain stats are so low and Play-Yan's price is surprisingly affordable, suddenly bringing DS's features in line with PSP. [br][br]Or will those Nintendo fans who continually yelled 'it's all about the games!' stay true to their words and ignore Play-Yan's music and movie multimedia orgy?[br][br]We'll bring you more on Play-Yan soon.

After a bit of searching I did find that someone has cracked the DS and has been able to surf the net with it already.
This leaves us with so many possablitys, when you factor in the CF memory card reader you can buy for the GBA.
Not only will you be able to play top notch games of your DS but, you will be able to surf the net, picto chat with people ACROSS THE WORLD, play movies, music, read e-book, or anything else that can be put into a flash memory card, all on you DS
Its really exicting!

Less than a week after Sony's launch of the PlayStation Portable in Japan, Nintendo has announced that it will release a new adaptor for the Game Boy Advance SP and Nintendo DS. Tentatively named Play-yan, the adaptor will allow the handhelds to play back MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio files like, much like the PSP. No date or price has been officially set, but Nintendo is looking at a release date in mid-February and a price range near 5,000 yen ($48). [br][br][br]Nintendo's Play-yan will use an SD card instead of a Memory Stick Duo, like the PSP. While the released designs of Play-yan aren't set in stone, the adaptor at the current time seems to be about the same shape and size as a GBA cartridge. The SD card will snap into the side of the Play-yan, making it irremovable as long as the Play-yan is firmly set in the handheld's cartridge slot. Because the Play-yan doesn't come with any PC connectivity, owners will need an SD Card writer/reader to record data from a PC. [br][br]Play-yan will run on the GBA SP, but it won't be compliant with the standard GBA. The Play-yan can connect to the DS through its GBA cartridge slot, and will be displayed in GBA resolution on either the top or the bottom screen. The Play-yan can run up to 4 hours when playing back movies, and 15 hours or 8 hours for music, depending on whether the LCD screen is turned on or off through the adaptor's menu options. [br][br]According to Japanese gaming Web site Impress Gamewatch, Play-yan features a Broadcom (Alphamosaic) VC01PXX-ES2 as its hardware decoder. The decoder allows the playback of ASF format Mpeg-4 files with support of resolutions up to CIF(320 x 240), and bit-rates up to 1.5Mbps. There will also be a mode for recording 2 hours of Mpeg-4 on a 256MB SD card. However, the audio will be monaural when playing back Mpeg-4 files. [br][br]The Play-yan will also support SD-Video format, which means that users with hybrid digital recorders such as those from Panasonic (FMR-E500H, DMR-E200H, DMR-E100H) can record a movie onto an SD Card with the digital recorder and play it back on the fly with their GBA SP or DS. Play-yan doesn't support SD-Video in extra fine mode (320 x 240 / 30fps), but it can play back ASF format MPEG-4 of the same quality. In addition, Play-yan also supports movies that are created on PCs by Fujitsu and Hitachi that come installed with Panasonic's MediaStage application. [br][br]The movies in the SD card will be selectable for playback through animated thumbnails displayed on the screen giving the user convenient checkup over their movies. Fast forwarding and rewinding is done with the directional pad's left and right keys, and holding on to them will increase the speed. The L and R buttons allows the user to change the brightness of the screen in four different levels. [br][br]The Play-yan supports VBR and allows playback of MP3 files with bit-rates between 32-320kbps. Play-yan features folders similar to the PSP, meaning that the user can separate tracks into different categories for playback. The adaptor will also support ID3 tags and Japanese text for its track titles and artist names. The playback functions for MP3 files, such as shuffling, are still in the works. The Play-yan comes with its own mini stereo plug on its end, allowing users to directly listen to audio that hasn't passed through the GBA SP or DS hardware. [br][br]Nintendo currently only plans to sell the Play-yan though its official Web site. The company will begin taking pre-orders in mid-January and expects to ship Play-yan a month later. Currently, there are no plans to sell the adaptor in North America. More details on Play-yan will be disclosed when Nintendo begins taking pre-orders for the adaptor.
