Possible Way of Doing DS<->DS?

Post by GEMISIS » Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:26 am

so, I came across a way of doing DS<->DS communications, and am wondering if the way that this method is done is acceptable

The main reason I am asking this is because I'm working on an overall library to to go on top of libnds, and currently I'm using that modified function to do DS<->DS communications. To me it looks fine as it seems to follow the 802.11 frame protocol (not 100% sure since I don't know the protocol that well), so I'm not sure why it would be bad. If someone could explain that would be nice.

No.

Please do not write a library to go on top of libnds without discussing it in depth with the libnds maintainers.

I've removed the code you linked to, the author was already told that it did not conform to standards and would not be accepted, ever.

Some work has been done recently on dswifi which is currently under test. This has been discussed with both myself and sgstair and will probably be factored in as and when it's verified to work as expected. We did this in private for the simple reason that people jump all over abject crap that causes major issues with other parts of the library because it appears to fulfill a need.

Ok, I was unaware that he had already been told this method was unsafe. Had though since it was a smaller revision then say liblobby it might be not as bad as well, so yeah, my bad.
