With the advent of WiFi and Bluetooth technology, some people sometimes forget about the original wireless tech - infrared. Without it, we'd still be walking to and from the TV set everytime we needed to change the channels. Well, Mark Doggen did remember and he's making it useful within the Cellphone and Nintendo DS arena. It's called the InfrareDS.
It's an Infrared (IrDA) function to the NDS. You can exchange data between IrDA devices (like cellphones and PDAs) and the NDS and vice versa via an infrared diode. No need to go through the MMC to get your data (pictures among many other stuff) across. It used to be that the program can only run on the DS Phat, however with the arrival of the G6 Lite Card, the DS Lite can do it too. So far, we've only scratched the surface of its uses for the NDS-kind.
We've covered it before, but last time he was only 60% done. What's he up to now? Where is he in the project? Read on to find out.
From what we can see from his Progress Bar page, he's on his way to a full program. So far, he has completed the Infrared beam capability, but still lacking in the graphical interface and touchscreen compatibility area. Well, you know what they say about eating elephants - you consume them piece by piece.
Compatibility issues. Unfortunately, not all mobilephones will be able to be capable of connecting with the NDS. For those interested, Mark has confirmed the following mobilephones to be compatible with his program: Sony Ericsson T310, Panasonic X60, Sony Ericsson K750i, and Nokia 8850. Currently, he's checking if the Siemens C65 can work with the NDS.
Congratulations, Mark! And with all that aptly stated, we here at the QJ labs would like to thank Badam for the tip.
