DS-Link website... down?

I have been trying to get into their website for several days... almost a week. Is it gone or just down... for a long time?

It looks like it, but don't worry. We'll still be able to grab our updates from the main site:

Or the mirror site:

Hmm, the site still seems rather dead, and there's a few updates that need doing :S Pity, cus support was going rather well until recently.

Well, I see 100% rom compatibility as of now, so I really wouldn't start worrying until you run into a game the DSLink will not boot.

Nacho Libre is unplayable and Tony Hawk Downhill locks up ... I'm sure there are more ...

That's weird. I played Tony Hawk a few days ago and no lock ups here. Maybe has to do with memory card speed?

can you try tony hawk sk8land? it always locks up for me.

Skateland still doesn't work although THDJ does. Nacho Libre, as mentioned, doesn't load... and Dead N Furious loads so slowly that it's not worth playing. The latter is my main concern at the moment.

The english site is still down, but we've got another upgrade: v. 1.60

Google-Automated english translation, if someone can read chinese, a better understandable changelog is welcome

Well, it doesn't seem to fix any of the issues mentioned above.

Is the firmware or kernel or whatever still 1.30 or is there a more recent one?

Do we know anything about why the English site is down?

In the chinese forum they say something about a upgrade, perhaps they're changing server (even if it is taking too long, I'd say..).

@jeffreagin: 1.41 is the last one.

Ultimate SpiderMan has issues and Pokemon Dash wouldn't load last I checked. Of course, no one cares about these anymore, but they don't really function as they should. However, DSLink is still a very good device.

You might try another TF card as I've played DnF just fine on DSLink (w/fw1.41 gm1.50). Speed/brand seems to make a big difference with some titles. Good luck.

BabelFish says:

Because of the server replacement address, recently was unable to visit the DSLink website, temporarily please visited the www.gbalink.net examination most recent information.

"Please Click on Here To visit the GBALink Website"

It started when there was that earthquake that brought down Chinese servers. I guess they haven't bothered to replace their service yet. Who knows?
