I thought this might deserve its own thread rather than be part of the DS news thread. If a mod doesn't agree, feel free to merge this (if the thread doesn't die).
www.nintendowifi.com (http://www.nintendowifi.com) is now live. Go there to see stats and other info on current wi-fi games. I'm tempted to buy Tony Hawk just to go wi-fi, because apparently, you can do it now.
Mario Kart comes out next week. I propose that we add our friend codes here and get some SRK wifi play going on. Yay or nay?
-----------------EDIT--------------------
I'm going to format this like another friend code thread i saw from another forum (CAG). Write your info using the following format:
forum name - Wifi nickname - friend code - location
For example, mine would be:
chair_home - chairhome - xxxxxxxx - Orlando, FL
I'll edit the first post in the thread to keep track of the codes, please follow the format so I can just copy and paste easily. Thanks guys!

11-07-2005, 12:57 PM
I'm still sort of confused. This is how I understand the situation: You can connect your DS wirelessly to any wireless network and play online. The adapter that Nintendo is selling is for people to connect to their land-line modems and create a wireless network exclusively for the DS.
Is that correct?
Also, how do matchups work? You have to manually input the IP or whatever you wish to play against?

ChairHome
11-07-2005, 01:08 PM
From what I understand, if you have a wireless router, you can connect through that. The USB adapter (available only online for purchase) is a "key" that you use to connect if you have a regular wired router, or no router but have ethernet. I think the advertised range is something like 30 feet.
Matchups: If I read correctly, you can basically match up with anyone. There are options (play with people in Europe, or Japan, or local) that you can choose when matching up. You can play with anyone. However, for some games (maybe all?), if you want to be able to chat at the same time, you have to input the users Friend Code (I thought it was MAC address, but I think I'm wrong). You will get your friend code the first time you connect to wifi using a game. This is to protect younger gamers from harrassment or from harsh language. Friends will be added to a "friend roster", and you can have 36 friends per game save file. There's mad info on the wifi site, check it out if you have more questions.

I'm not exactly sure how these friend codes work, if they're DS specific, but I'll try to post one today.

I'll post one this afternoon.

Depending on the game, if more than one friend is online playing in Friend mode, there is no way to select which friend Nintendo WFC connects you with. Check your game manual for online play.

I'm under friends right now ... and see the friend icon you're the only friend I have added so it has to be you!!!!! but you're not showing up in any of the "searching" boxes on the bottom screen ... one of the orange lights on the left usually light up when it finds someone to play against .... I see you in the friends roster too
and not sure what the LOCK icon means next to your name in the friends roster ... default is "unlocked" ... so I just leave it like that

White Shadow,
You have to go into your router settings to do this. There's a way to configure your router through a browser, look it up for your model. The easiest way to set up is to go to your router configuration (after you figure it out), then add your DS's MAC address to access the router.

yeah. on the last page of the mario kart manual, it talks about locking. i have two other friends that are on now, and i have them locked, and i have you, so this should work if we all do this at the same time... which is now. Haha. I'll give it a few more tries to work, but it angers me.

All that locking does is prevent the friend (who is locked) from being deleted from the Friend list when the list limit is exceeded.
When you exceed the friend limit, a random friend is deleted to make room for the new one. Friends who are locked will not be deleted in this fashion.
So locking isn't necessary for gameplay really.

Alright, I've updated the first page with the other codes, make sure you tell people when you are adding them so they can do the same. For the people that are having problems with the net when they connect, are you using the WEP key? Cause I'm not and it doesn't seem to interfere. If you allow your router to accept the DS's MAC address, you can connect that way.... but I don't know much about routers, so I don't know if this affects anything.
(I still haven't connected to anyone cause of the server problems Nintendo WFC was having :-( guess I'll try this afternoon)

From what I heard, only 'friends' mode was working. I just must've not been lucky, or had enough friends. Does anyone know if you can connect with a friend and his/her friends (that aren't on your list, but on his/hers) in friends mode? I have to try again tonight or tomorrow, I'll be busy playing DQ VIII.

PSP uses 802.11g and DS uses 802.11b, I think. G is better than B, btw because G has a broader signal range than B...at least that is my understanding....its either that or G has a higher transfer rate.

It's something you check in the game. You have to have connected to the WFC at least once to have a friend code. After he's done that, he can go to Nintendo WFC -> Friend Code -> Confirm Friend Code and then you can trade passwords. Also, playing a local wireless game against someone automatically adds them to your friends list.
I posted this in the other thread first (thinking it was this one), but here it is again:
I hand down to you a link to help with your emblem making:
http://www.zsivanys.nl/mkdecal/
This allows you to upload an image, and it'll covert the image onto a 32x32 grid using the MK pallete so you can use it as an emblem. You still have to draw it yourself obviously, but it's easy and useful for those more complex pictures.
I've only added Chair_home and gamingsage, haven't gotten to the rest of you guys yet. I'll get to it later.

Finally got mine, w00t. Anyways, had a couple of questions about connecting.
1. Will a modem with a wireless gateway work, or does it have to be a router/Nintendo Wi-Fi USB? I can't get my modem to connect, but I wanted to make sure before I go pick up a router.
2. Where the eff do you find your WEP? I've checked like, every setting on my PC. :xeye:
Hopefully I get some answers before tomorrow, cause if not, I'll be buying a router, whether I needed it or not. I MUST have online Mario Kart. :pray:

It won't find friends that are in games already.
And I believe (not certain, don't hold me to this) that it searching for friends only finds friends that are ALSO searching for friends. I could be wrong though.

Well, I was able to go online last night, but I tried again tonight with no luck. I assume it's something to do with my router / static ip. These static ips make everything so much harder.
What IP do I have to connect to in order for my DS to connect? The router IP or my actual ISP IP? I had to put my static IP info in my router, and had to use a router IP to connect my computer to the router, which then the router connects to the internet. I'm just confused as to what I did yesterday to make it work, and why it isn't working today.

OK SO:
1. What is snaking?
2. How is it done?
3. CAN I DO IT TOO DADDY?
1. It's a technique where you do a series of zigzagging mini turbos in straightaways (and even turns, but it's just a single mini turbo) to gain speed, hence the term "snaking." People hate it and call it borderline cheating, but it's been around since MK64 and is completely legit. It's MKDS' roll cancel.
2. Approach the straightaway going straight, then hop up and drift left, with your cart facing diagonally across to the right. Mini turbo out of your drift heading right, then hop up again and drift right with your kart facing diagonally left. Rinse and repeat and you got snaking.
Here's a ghettolicious diagram (start at the bottom)

|--\-------|
|---\------|
|----|-----| <--- Drift left...
|----|-----|
|----|-----|
|----o----| <--- Make your approach
3. Sure why not. It's pretty easy, the hardest part is getting the mini turbos to come out cleanly while drifting and maintaining balance without overturning during the drift. Try it in Baby Park.

First and foremost, that diagram is not ghettolicious, it's a damned good one.
I used to use the snaking tatic back when I played CTR hard core (why do Mario Kart fans hate on it so much? Of course it's a MK clone but it has it's own unique way of handling carting and the game is really awesome, last great Crash game ever.) and I don't think it's cheating per se but straight aways were designed for you to go straight and not drift-turbo-drift your way through. Once I get the game so I can master the tracks like I did in CTR I'll use the tatic but sometimes I think that I'd just like to have a snaking free match up. I wish there was a way to really set up matches and communicate with your opponents on what tatics are alright to use in a race.
What is Animal Crossing all about?
Oh and Tony Hawk American Sk8teland is 29.99 at K-Mart ($10 off). This game has a more online features then Kart.
- - - - - - - - -- - -- - - - -- - - -- -- - - - -
What games would you like to see on Nintendo Wi-Fi (since it's hella bleak after Metroid Prime: Hunters).
Here's my top five games that I'd like to see adapted for online play (ranked).
1) Advance Wars DS: Wouldn't mind a sequel but only if it's online.
2) Bomberman DS: Need I say more?
3) Pocket Fighter: (like wtf capcom, you've passed over this game countless times in the remake/port department. You dicks!) This sort of game fits the DS well.
4) Puyo Pop: This could be really awesome since finding fellow Puyo lovers is hard enough as is. The online play could consist of quick matches and dare I say, 8 way brawls?!
5) Pokemon: I haven't bought a new Pokemon since Gold so if a new one was released with online features I'd be inclined to pick up the series again.
~Other honorable mentions:~
A classic FPS port (Like Doom or Duke Nukem or Quake or something with the typical staples of FPS games plus co-op. Gawd I loved co-op gba Doom)
Metal Slug/Contra (a brand new game with 4 player co-op in mind),
Sonic but with Knuckles and Tails back into the fold (more multiplayer options like in the Advance Series)
Metal Gear (if you remember MG: Ghost Babel on GBC there was a multiplayer mode. I think that a remake of one of the older NES Metal Gears would be cool and with 4 player versus or even 2 player co-op would be nice)
Fucking Diddy Kong Racing.
An Arcade style dog fighting game.
F-Zero (there is a significant lack of F-Zero on the DS, what with all the systems that could handle the game having at least one title. I hope Nintendo annouces something next year.)
A Kirby game (I remember there being a Kirby game for GBA that had four player support).
That's it for now...

http://nintendofriends.net/ I suggest that we all sign up here to expand our network of "friends". And if the thread starter could put this info up in a similar format to this site but keep the location part in. So it would look like
Nickname -- Location, DT
Game Name -- Code - Code
Game Name2 -- Code - Code
Yeah I can't wait for Animal Crossing. Never played the game but watched a video demonstration of the online play. We could have SRK celebrations like 99 day which is the celebration of the Dreamcast launch or have a Bauerites Gathering when 24 Season 5 debuts. I went on Gamefaqs and someone is already planing a christmas party.

Well that sucks. I guess it could be very annoying to hear some kid scream on the mic all the time.
Yep. Plus, there's probably gonna be a touch screen keyboard, and as a PSO vet, I don't mind writing what I have to say.
Oh yeah, and I finally can snake, though not as good as I want to. I'll get it perfect, soon enough. I usually only snake if I'm way behind or everyone else is doing it, since if all the other guys I'm racing are noobs, they always drop out if I bust that shit out. :rofl:
EDIT: And the one game I would kill for on Wi-Fi is a Phantasy Star (Online or Universe style). That would make Nintendo and Sega ridiculous amounts of money.

Same here. But snaking can be a real hand killer *ouch*. The thumb muscles in my left hand are killing me. People were dropping me like a hot plate yesterday. I wouldn't mind it as much if it weren't for my current gripes about wi-fi.
1. There never seems to be anyone on. ONE PERSON ON WORLDWIDE??? you gotta be kidding me :confused: Starting wfc matches is pretty hard because of this. And when you start one it's usually with one other person. Sometime 4, but after the first race, 4th and sometimes 3rd place drop.
2. People like to drop before the race even starts. I'm searching for opponents.... 1.... 2......... both drop........ 1...................race start :lame: Why would they do that...all the time!???????:sad: It's not my connection. I sit one room away from or right next to my wireless and maintain an unshakeable 3 mighty bars of connection.
3. Rivals (which is usually the most popular) makes no sense. My Win Lose record is like 26-5 I get matched up with 287-18 (I'm not lying) 0-30 and 53-72. or 5-28 20-77 and 0-76908476(ok that was made up) I don't see how these people are of similar skill. They're either very weak or very strong and sometimes in the middle. wtf?

Yeah, but your like, two time zones away from me.
As for actual connections and stuff, I've had a few wierd things happen. Like freezes. Although I think the freeze only occurs when everyone drops but you. And certain opponent cart behavior that I will assume is lag. Stuff like:
Instantaneously zipping from one side of track to the other or back and forth.
Flying
Having two other racers CLEARLY in front of me (by about 3 or 4 cart lengths) and still being in 2nd place
The guy riding my tailpipe gets the item box/winning place when on my screen, he's just huffing carbon monoxide.
Hitting someone with a green shell and they aren't affeected for a few seconds.
I probably have trouble finding matches cuz I usually don't get on till after 10pm. Maybe the weekend will have better competition.

Yeah sorry about that. My battery died mid race, so I plugged my DS into my adapter and, well y'know, we raced. gg btw.
But the thing is, I think I was punished for that drop! I swear that before I raced you I had 9 losses. After I came back and raced you and won, I checked my stats and it said I had 10 losses. Tell me, when we connected, do you remember my loss record changing?

if you beat all the tracks with a 1 star rating, you will get a star by your name, 2 star rating, 2 stars by your name, 3 stars...

For everyone asking about WEP and all that:
WEP is not something that you set on your computer, it is set on your router. WEP is an encryption method that allows your connection to be secure. A WEP key is a 'password' that allows computers to decrypt the data transmitted with the router. You can still play on your DS if you don't have WEP security enabled on your router. WEP is the required encryption if you want to play using a secured network.
Setting up WEP depends on your router, but the basic steps are:
1. enter your router's settings (often done from your computer's browser)
2. enable WEP security
3. select a WEP key
4. for every computer/device that is going to use the network, setup the key
For your router, follow the instructions of your router.
For your computer, you specify the WEP key to use under your wireless connection's preferences (alternatively, you will be asked for the key the first time you connect to the network)
For your DS, NintendoWiFi.com has a VERY GOOD set of instructions on how to setup your network preferences. In a nutshell, if your are not using security, its a breeze, else, you do have to make some setup.

no, snaking isn't "legit" its been picked up by the people who are playing the game so as long as you just do turbos you'll be fine ........ I do them in the same direction on turns ...and snake on straights "snake" is just used because its like you're slithering left-right like a snake

on your vid, you weren't doing it on straight ways. so how can you say it can only be done on straight ways?
even on gamefaqs, they said it's easy with yoshi and his egg, which i found out myself.
i dunno what's the big deal with snaking, i mean it is a big help, and it's different than before, but i been whoring powerslide turbos since mk64, not for GC though cuz they changed the powerslide system. before it was easier if there a long curve, now it's easier if it's a straight way.
MiyagiShin X
12-06-2005, 04:39 PM
Its Pretty Much easier to powerslide / snake anywhere. Put it this way, It takes more skill to powerslide on more narrow levels like DK Pass or Rainbow Road, however much less on courses like Figure 8 circut and Baby Park. Im no champion myself bu i have seen some sick stuff. For example i played a dude who non stop snaked on DK Pass :-P.
- By the way Yoshi only helps sliding a tad bit but the reason people say to use him is cause if u wanna play right away he's the best option.

I can't snake. People who can, however, only end up eating my green (I have pretty good aim), red, and blue shells.

on your vid, you weren't doing it on straight ways. so how can you say it can only be done on straight ways?
even on gamefaqs, they said it's easy with yoshi and his egg, which i found out myself.
i dunno what's the big deal with snaking, i mean it is a big help, and it's different than before, but i been whoring powerslide turbos since mk64, not for GC though cuz they changed the powerslide system. before it was easier if there a long curve, now it's easier if it's a straight way.
Play me and I'll show you the big deal.

i loved to play you guy, if only i didn't sell my game to srk member apokalipse or something.
i've seen your vid, and you turbo every chance you get, snaking makes it more often. good to you. again, answer my question, if it's only possible to do it on straight ways? why were YOU doing it on turns also?
I learned that too when i had the game, except i never knew you could do it so easily with bowser, i couldn't do it myself with him.
using luigi has my main, i would snake on straight ways, and be mostly in the middle of the road the entire time at about the same rate you're doing it.
if both players can do it, it's no big deal. i could be winning the entire lap snaking to get randomized by an item last second and lose. which is why i kinda hate the game.
but if i ever get a hold of the game again, i'll play you 1v1, bowser vs luigi, snaking all the way, items or no items

because the term "snaking" refers to when you do it on a straight. Since you're using left-right turns and it looks like a snake slithering ... that's why that's called "snaking" I'm only talking about the term ...:looney:

Totally. And edit the topic title to say "(with friend code lists)". Ya know, taking out the Mario Kart bit.

Are we ever going to have a tournament for Mario Kart? We could make sure that we all get on at once for a Friends battle. 12 of us race

Sure move the topics together. I just know that this thread will become rather huge because If we have all Nintendo DS Wifi Matchmaking, and friend code exchanging here, well then this thread is goona be huge. I just thought it made more sence to seperate it. And I aint the only one, cause theres already 5 other DS threads up... all about some aspect of the DS or Wifi
By the way count me in for the tourney! Maybe we should set a date for it? This weekend or next perhaps?
X-Pac786
12-07-2005, 09:24 AM
yea set a date ... make a thread link us there from here .......
and we'll discuss issues like making times for matches and etc .... oh umm if anyone's interested get on EfNet on MIRC and join #mkds ... I'm in there on a daily basis under the name "Gandhi" which is my real first name and Mario Kart DS name ... so yea get in there for live chatting its easier to run things like a tourney on there, we've actually done it before

I'd like to join, but I suck... really badly, and I'm never really on wifi as much as I'd like to be.
Okay, so I've added some Animal Crossing codes to the first page... I think it'd be good to have this thread as a sort of "database" for friend codes. I propose that the Animal Crossing thread be kept alive, and Animal Crossers can discuss the game... I'll check once in a while over there to update friend codes... It might be good to have a thread to discuss individual games, then have this thread for matchmaking/wifi discussion. Or we can just use this thread, its up to you guys (and the mods).
Also, Sep, if you could edit the title of the thread per FurryCurry's advice and take out the Mario Kart in the title, I'd appreciate it.

Ive got A great Idea !!!!:lovin:
How about I make A Thread for specific listing of friend codes and Tourneys. That way we can have the individual DS game threads but when we have major events or tourneys with our DS wifi games we can post them there. Plus we could put all the Friend codes on that page. And then Finally sticky it on this section of the Forums.What do you all think?

I have a better idea ........ is there an official MARIO KART DS thread????
because we could then use that instead and link to tourney threads which can be in the proper section for tourneys and not in General Discussion ...
This is the Official Mario Kart thread. I think it was intended for Wifi, but no one plays Tony Hawk lol!
But my point was not everyone wants to talk about MKDS so we should just keep everything as is. And make one brend new thread. Since we have so many floatin around. I just wanna orginize this people...:sweat:

There's no official MKDS thread other than the one I made, I searched already, this thread is about wifi discussion that's why we need another one because I for one prefer the discussion to stay on topic and on ONE TOPIC alone. It makes things more organized.

I originally posted here for MKDS, as did all the others... you just misunderstood it a little. Its nothing to get upset about. Please stay on topic and end this conversation :)
And By the way Clairhome actually had intended this mainly for MKDS. everything in here is about MKDS from matchmaking to disscussion to friend codes.

When Tony drops down in price I'm picking it up. A lot of people who've picked up are really enjoying it, especially after being burnt out by the series once Underground hit.
THE FIRST EVER SRK MARIO KART DS TOURNAMENT!
UPDATE=>:Holiday Shoppers Tourny (practice tournament to establish a working tornament system)
Date and Time: December 16th @ 11pm EST (tentative)
Official Rules (Work in progress)
- All SRKers are eligible and all karts are selectable.
- Mario Kart DS: SRK Cup chat room for talk right before (like choosing tracks) and during a tourny and then go to SRK and post final results and thoughts about the tourny after it's all over. If we end up having a lot of tournys I suggest we start a minimalistic web page which will serve as a scoreboard.
- Tracks will be debated on before a match starts.
- *Matches will consist of four SRKers. So only four of us go on at once for a Friend Code race. Then we sign off and come back to the chat and post the results. Then the next group of SRKers do the same.
- Snaking is allowed.
- Make sure you have a 2 bar or better connection before hand.
- No dropping allowed or you will become ineligible for the next tourny. But if you lose your connection or are dropped from the race IMMEDIATELY tell everyone in the chat that this has happened to you. On the same token though you will not be able to reenter the current tourny unless there is a slot open . So if you got dropped in the final round then consider yourself screwed. However, SRK is allowed to vote on such matters if the need arises. Case by case basis perhaps.
- The top two racers from a match move on to the next round and so on and so forth. I figured this would be a good way to give those in 2nd place, well, a second chance (no pun intended) at winning. I know I've had VERY close races before.
So for example.
Round 1:
Joe, Smoe, Floe, Doe race
Joe: 36
Floe: 34
Smoe:24
Doe:16
Joe and Floe move on to the next round:
Round 2:
(from a previous match up)Dick, Rick, Joe, Floe race
Rick: 40
Joe: 32
Floe: 22
Dick: 18
Rick and Joe move on to the Final Round
Final Round:
(from a previous match up) FurryCurry, Gandhi, Rick, Joe race
FurryCurry: 34
Gandhi: 34
Joe: 22
Rick: Drops Out Like A Punk Bitch
FurryCurry and Gandhi for a Tie OR for a final race with just them two alone. I guess Furry and Gandhi could decide if they wanted a tie breaker match of just one race or not.
UPDATE==>: - If we don't have enough entrants for a match-up we'll do things like this...
Person1: 1st
Person2: 4th
Person3: 3rd w/24pts.
Person4: 2nd
Person5: 2nd
Person6: 3rd w/26pts.
Person7: 4th
Person8: 1st
Person9
Person10
Empty Slot
Empty Slot
The top ranked losers from the previous rounds are allowed to compete again in the match that needs more entrants. So...
Person9
Person10
Person3
Person6
Person3 and Person6 would be allowed to compete again while fixing the problem of a lack of entrants. If there is a tie amongst our top ranked losers then we'll have them race to see who will fill in the gaps.
*I've never done a FC race before so do you just pick and choose from your list (depending on who is on at the time) who you want to race or not?
UPDATE==>: After this tournament and before Christmas we should have a real tournament. And Christmas night we should have another serious tournament but with a prize pack of SRK Premium for a year.
So what do you guys think?

Did you even read my first post in the thread? Or the title? Its supposed to be for all wifi discussion, I said I would put other friend codes in as they came along, but no one had any for TH. A mod changed the title to "with Mario Kart Friend Codes". The only person that has a problem with this being the thread for Friend Codes seems to be you.

Great Wanna Post the FInalized one HERE (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104563) for all to see? I wonder if anyone could record there match... hmm?
by the way i think friend codes and matching for MKDS should be in here. I suggested a common thread to be stickied.
Here read what I sent to Chair Home:
no dude people were first sayin make a Animal Crossin thread now there sayin make a new Thread. And now X pac is sayin this wasnt for MKDS. But im sayin it should be.... cause there already was one for it. X pac is bein a jerk to u by takin credit away from u. Ill im sayin is I wanna make a Thread with all the links to all DS wifi games and one that contains all Tourney and Friend code info.
Please dont be rude to me, especially when i defended u. I didnt originally wanna split. And still dont. I just wanna get one common link thread stickied. Which I requested. If u vote for that in my post it would be kind of u. I think ur thread should be renamed the MKDS thread. Cause thats all thats talked about in it. I know what was intentended. But dont say stuff that xpac thinks. I have talked about MKDS in this thread alot and only here. I made animal crossin thread so we wouldnt have wacked out 20 conversations about different stuff. I think havin one common thread with just links and tourney would be nice eh? Our whole DS community seems less connected and im just tryin to make it so everyone is happy. I personally thought u would understand.
