  • TheIguana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll be impressed and quite unimpressed with Nintendo when it supports WPA...

    Iggy :)
  • Dan005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Woo I own DSLinux.org :)
  • zach_sp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A step in the right direction. Go Linux!

  • zagi1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yea the rule of thumb is, if it computes, chances are it can run GNU/Linux
  • NeoTechni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thats impressive, it just needs a simple web browser now
  • Two9A, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sonic767: If you'd take a deeper look at the DSlinux project, you'd find that pepsiman (the blog writer) is in fact the author of the software, and blog updates is how he puts out new information about the project. Try to do some research.
  • sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1YES! now just PLEASE make a web browser!
  • gabebear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I know the NDS's wifi card is based on a buffalo chipset. This is one of the only chipsets that doesn't have a GPL driver for linux. I wonder how hard it would be to use this information to create a wifi driver for powerbooks(also using buffalo wifi cards).
  • KoZo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1go linux! *winks*
  • techlinks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm still waiting for a all-in-one Linux/Mod thing that someone sells on a normal DS cart. No PassMe needed. I like simple.
  • Grupstra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome work
  • Nicto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Browser would be cool, but I'd rather have a Advance emulator with multiplayer support. I've wanted to play Four Swords via wireless ever since I tried out the multiplayer.
