ds online question
 

it says at www.gameplay.co.uk i need windows xp to use the wireless connector....
true? because sometimes sites do talk shit...

It's true according to Nintendo's site, Nintendo themselves, the packaging, and people who have attempted to use it on 98/ME/2000.

However, there IS good news...You can pick up a similar non Nintendo adapter at an electronics store, or just get a farkin' router.

my dad won't let me get a router because:
1. they too expensive.
2. they are too difficult to set up.
i have windows ME...
i'll walk to town with somebody 2moro and ask in game or gamestation...
then i jsut need to my mario kart and AC: wild world when it comes out!

KK can you put a link to the page where nintendo speak about online and stuff please?
i can't find it on nintendo.co.uk
thanks :D

Nintendowifi.com has a lot of information. There should be a UK version on that page.

Routers aren't all that expensive for a basic model. You can find a bunch of them for the price of the adapter. You can also use a Wireless adapter by another company which can be used, but if the setup for a router is too complex (They're pretty easy, IMO), you might be fucked...

damn!

i'll see if curries or comet sell them compat with windows ME

I'm sorry, but, please, it's DAMN, not DAMB. That's not even a damn word.

... Xero where do you live? usa or uk?

US, but what the hell does that matter? It's not an English spelling, either.

i aint talking about that...
i just wanted to know to see if you knew where i could get a usb connector compat with windows ME.

You can get a Cable & Wireless one for £20 from Argos.

oo i go have a look in the catalogue now :)
this?

Well the first one is a memory stick, so that wouldn't be very helpful for setting up a wireless connection.

ok i was just on the phone to a friend and he said that i need a wireless router or wireless broadband...
he said that he pays £30 a month for BT.
so could you explain step by step how to use the second one and set it up?
and woudl there be any fees?

I haven't got wireless broadband and it works for me fine. In fact I use the very cable and wireless USB adapter that you linked to there.

ok thanks, i will buy it in an hour or so...
so what do you do? put it in the usb port then how do you sign up?

You need broadband, you don't NEED a router.

ok i connected the thing in and it won't connect... it just keeps connecting for ages...
