Nintendo DS functions WiFi, but currently it can only be used for multi-player gaming with other DSes nearby, some new games are expected to have online multiplayer facilities, but many amateurs are trying to get the 802.11 (WiFi) on the NDS working before then.

The first person to do this will get over $2000 from a bounty as well as having something of massive commercial value. When this happens it will allow us to chat, browse the web and even blog on our NDS like you would on a PDA! This person is almost certainly going to be Stephen, he?s got the actual TCP/IP (the hard stuff) done and he?s 40% finished his first NDS internet app; an IRC client. He just needs to do this, test it, fix all bugs (70%) and catch up on his sleep

As I have a Nintendo DS I?d love it when this actually starts to work. It will save me from having to buy a PDA to browse the web on the go; hopefully even a Skype will be released so I can use it as a WiFi phone, the Nintendo DS does have a built in microphone after all . I know I might be going a little over the top now but I really think the Nintendo DS is capable of things like this, or at least I hope . I can’t wait until I’m browsing the internet on my Nintendo DS! I hope it doesn’t require extra hardware or lots of extra hardware. Currently it only seems to work for static IP addresses, but I hope that it will soon work with DHCP!

I would be happy to pay the price for a normal Nintendo DS game such as ?30 for this when it is released, it would be worth it! I’m sure it’s not just me who has this view, I?m sure others do too. He could make tens of thousands of pounds of this, which would be nice to see!

Good luck, I wish you success. It will benefit me and any others!
