The title says it all. I am having trouble getting it to work on DSL/SClite

here is the error I get

DsWifi ready!
LibFat failed
could not find profiles. (FAT)
could not find reports. (FAT)


and then, when i put information

Could not save profiles. (FAT)

Any help appreciated

yumms

The program doesn't write on SCL so you need a premade profile, put it in the DSLiveWeather folder, and it'll work.

I don't have the profile made btw.

Yeah, since my post I have come to that conclusion. The author (Lick) says it should be working with next devkitpro rev. An interesting note is that is does work and you can get the weather info but it will not save, so you can type in the location and it will link up.

Did you create a folder in the root of the card called DSLiveWeather? For me I can't seem to make it get forecast, just current weather. VERY nice app though. I really like the fact that he built in a screen brightness adjustment too. Great coder!

Devs, yeah I cant forcast either only weather on both of my cards. I have actually gotten the save feature to work on my SC SD, in fact it boots up really fast. My SClite is read only and gets the errors. but it still shows if you enter the location.

here is what lick had to say about that to me.
Quoteheyyouguys: it could be that the version of libFat I use, doesn't like Supercard Lite. In that case, you'll need to wait for the next release of DevKitPro (and DSLW).



To those new to this, here is a quote from latest dev release from the author Lick.

Here is the thread on gbadev.org http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=10889 (read thru post first before posting questions, in fact from about 11 on is the info again.)

QuoteOfficial Release:
DSLiveWeather "Aestus"

Download URL:
http://lick.huuf.net/DSLiveWeather_Aestus.nds

Screenshot URL:

Information:
First Official Release that includes graphics.

Changes (from Tepidus release):
- Better layout current condition.
- One server, so you don't have to type that for each and every profile.
- Left and Right switches between profiles.
- Touching the information will switch between units (F/C, miles/km).

Installation Notes:
- Make sure to create a directory in the root, named "DSLiveWeather". (If you're upgrading from previous installations, remove the trailing exclamation icon ("!") from the directoryname.)
- You must use the file 'weather/fetch2.php' from the server 'lick.huuf.net'. Must.
- You might want to delete reports.b, because there has been a change in the way DSLW loads that file. Though you don't -need- to do it.

Bugs
Please report any bugs that you find so I can remove them ASAP.

Ahh well, guess we gotta wait for him to make some more progress. Great start though.

I agree, it is amazing what someone can come up with on their own. What else is amazing is the fact that if you read thru his post, he is very open to constructive criticism and help etc...

yumms

Can someone post their profile data here please?

onekelly

Here is the DSLiveWeather folder with my profiles files in it. This is from my SC SD (which it works on) but even though I copied it to the SClite, it did not work for the SClite.

yumms


onekelly

for the sclite, exactly. See the other posting on new version of dsliveweather, Devs and myself were talking about the issues http://scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6067
