(Page 1)2. there "could" be a way to make your wifi have a better range, but it would require more power for the transmitter/receiver. i saw somewhere that there was a mod for internet access on it, but i cant find the link now. also, why did nintendo create such a great product, but not use it to its full potential? most of the games going on it look like low-grade GBA titles. right now im trying to figure out a way for my home wifi to pick up my DS's signal, but i guess i hafta make drivers for it. i have no time to do this, now that school is starting, and nor do i think it can read every wifi. im guessing it can read specific brands of wifi, much like the xbox can read specific brands of CDs. this is as far as i've come XD

3. yo, all you strange people who want all those various hacks for your DS, theres a little thing i'd like to introduce you to. it's called GOOGLE. http://www.google.com lazy s0b s i've done alot of 'what can i do with my ds hack-wise' searches for a while. i've so far found, so far, everything and i mean EVERYTHING is in its beta and early stages. this includes hacking the wifi on it (for tunneling and so forth) DS flash cards (for playing illegal roms (naughty naiughty people ..) and homebrew aps). there is no way of hacking your ds for a webbrowser or anything as of yet but some people who are developing a windows port for the ds will be making that eventually.. also, witht he power of linux on your ds, you could use that also to do that i'm guessing. just be patient and have some faith. And use google... SHEESH!

6. You morons! You can't make a software hack that expands beyond what the hardware can do! Quit asking dumb dipshit questions! What Rounin posted should already be a clue to you morons that this is well beyond your leagues!

10. Net stumbler has a little talk about it (http://www.netstumbler.org/archive/index.php/t-13406.html) . But I have only seen a DS wifi dongle hack done in a magazene here in Japan. The way they did it was to take appart the top part of the DS. There is a board with the antenna etched into it. What they did was cut the leads and soldered a pigtail connector to it, drilled a hole into the side of the housing, and hotglued the connecter that it can be connected to from the outside. They said that they where able to get a connection with two modded DS's at 1km appart using high gain wifi antennas.

18. ok all you people who want to mod your antenna, listen to this. you open your top screen assembly, pull off the light green circuit board, put solder on the 2 copper contact points on it, connect a piece of antenna wire to each one, connect the other end of each antenna wire to a piece of metal, put each piece of metal in the upper corners of the top screen assy. just like a laptop wifi antenna. (note, you may create a shiny silver (or blue) nintendo brand brick if you mess up)
