what do you mean, wifi , yes that works been playing mario kart but not animal crossing yet.

wireless connect thingy to another console - i duno i havent tried it but should work

I'm sure the multiplayer games work on the DS. I been playing MKDS, Jump Superstars and Animal Crossing using wi-fi locally and online.

Sometimes, if your NDS is flashme'd and your friends not, you will get errors. Otherwise, works great.
I've played many games using wireless, and the only one that has given me problems is super mario DS

i've been trying it again and i got meteos, puyo pop, and jump superstars to work

mario kart, castlevania, super mario 64, osu tatakae ouendan, and goldeneye didn't work
my friend will flash his DS soon so i might post if there are any differences

I'm sure many of us would be interested in the results.

update
my friend has flashed his DS and the results are the EXACT same as before
all the games that worked before still work and the games that didn't work before still didn't work (osu tatakae ouendan, etc.)

please keep in mind however that it is most likely interferance cause so far we only tried mulitplayer at school (also the little picture that shows the signal strength was weak so...)

what i don't understand however is howcome games like goldeneye, puyo pop, and jumpstars works

and lastly i tried it with my real game bomberman and it worked perfectly
(maybe the others were bad dumps?)

sry for my post that keeps going back and forth
but the conclusion is to keep in mind the follwing
1. bad dumps
2. weak signals
3. try the games that i said are working and aren't working
4. try real cartage games

this is still download play only
when my friend gets his supercard i'll post multicard play

2 flashed DS's here, games i've tried that work multiplayer where other player downloads and are working are:

Monkeyball
Mario Kart
Bomberman

That contradicts Koduku's statement. I've tried downloading Mario Kart single-cart-play with my flashed DS, onto another normal unflashed DS, and it would download the rom fine, but as soon as it finishes downloading and gets to the Nintendo logo, it would crash. Multi-cart-play works fine though. I've seen other people post that it works for them, how exactly?

I've got single cart play working fine for Meteos and Bust-A-Move.

People who are saying download play from a ROM on a flashed DS does not work - do you have an actual DS game in the flashed DS while playing the ROM? That might explain the successes (few as they were) that I've had.

mcmanic · January 24, 2006, 09:36:40 AM

those 3 games do work, both DS's are on V6 and using latest software to patch.The wife and the kids take turns every night in Mario Kart Battles, lol.

BTW there is no orginal game cartridge in either of them. I have just tried again now to confirm and it works, just like it should.

that's exactly what happened to me

and two things
im doing this with V5 flashme (sry i didn't mention that earlier)
and i have bomberman in my DS and my friend has either castlevania/mario 64 in his DS

but the conclusion is to keep in mind the follwing
1. bad dumps
2. weak signals
3. try the games that i said are working and aren't working
4. try real cartage games
5. Have V6 Flashme
6. Have a real game in the DS slot

My daughter and I had the same problem with Mario Kart and FIFA. My daughter had a non modified DS, and I had a FlashMe modified DS. We got things working only when my daughter hosted games with her DS using Passme+Supercard. If I tried to host a single card multi game with my modified DS, the games would crash after transfering. I guess this points to a problem with the FlashMe firmware? I have not tried this again with the latest FlashMe version.

karurosu · January 24, 2006, 08:03:13 PM

Well, I guess you may be a little confused:

I tested using 2 NDS, my is a v5 and the other was an unflashed v4 NDS, this is what happened:

NDS Flashed to NDS unflashed (single cart ROM)
Does not work (nintendo logo crash)

NDS unflashed (using Passme2 and SC) to NDS flashed (single cart mode)
Works perfectly.

Here is where you may be confused: osu tatakae and other games are NOT single cart mode, they need 2 carts (Does your friend has a SC?)

At that point I flashed the NDS and the result were:

NDS flashed (v6) to NDS Flashed (v5) Single cart mode.
Works

NDS flashed (v6 SC) Mario Kart ROM to NDS flashed (v5 SC) Mario Kart ROM.
Works.

As you can see, for me the only way they don't work is when sending SINGLE cart data to an unflashed NDS. Why? look below:

Flashme allows to transmit and receive unencrypted data, when nintendo blocked Wifime with it's last update, the unencrypted data will make a New firm NDS crash.

Flashme allows to transmit and receive unencrypted data, when nintendo blocked Wifime with it's last update, the unencrypted data will make a New firm NDS crash.

that clears some stuff up thanks

and i thought that osu tatakae ouendan was single cart download
i know for sure mario 64 and mario kart are and i said that those don't work

so the solution for me is to update to V6 firmware or have the dl cart use my passmev2

however there's something
As you can see, for me the only way they don't work is when sending SINGLE cart data to an unflashed NDS.

when i sent meteos from my V5 flashed DS to my friend's unflashed DS with single dl card play it worked perfectly

can you try that? have a flashed DS send Meteos (single card play) to an unflashed DS and post the results

(sry if im making this more confusing then it should be but im trying to make a "walkthrough" for others)
