WiFi VoIP: how to chat using DS |
Ó
Over at the VoIP Service Blog, they've compiled a few ways to use the DS for free WiFi VoIP calls. It's actually pretty easy to have WiFi voice chat with your friends. This list is just a few of the common ways.- VoiceChatClient. The VoIP Service Blog linked back to our previous article on Infantile Paralysiser's WiFi VoiceChatClient v1.5. This homebrew not only lets you have voice chat, it also has an added bonus: whatever you scribble on your touchpad can be sent to the other person. To run this homebrew you will need modified firmware or cards that allow you to run homebrew.
- HelloDS. Alias-Zero, using Stephen Stair's WiFi Lib, has this VoIP application at the NDS Emu website. It is a proof-of-concept, and an update still has to appear. Like VoiceChatClient, it requires modified firmware or a passthrough device.
- Metroid Prime: Hunters. As we reported way back in February of 2006, Metroid Prime: Hunters has a VoIP feature. So you can use this game to chat. Just meet up with your buddy in the pre-game lobby and chat away.
- DSpeak. DSpeak is Nintendo's VoIP solution. It was demonstrated at E3 2005, but it's still a no-show until now. When (or if) it does come out, it will allow in-game and out-of-game chat.
Attention NDS newbies! If you're new to the whole homebrew scene (because you got a DS or DS Lite for Christmas), just check out the helpful FAQs and tutorials at our forum at the NDS section of forums.qj.net, and they should help you figure out the ins and outs of Flash Cards and firmwares (you can download homebrew there or at dl.qj.net).

HelloDS is no longer in development. Whether it was a complete hoax or whether AZ just overestimated his capabilities, the builds never got further than a menu system and only people in the selective beta group ever claimed to see more than that. I assume the donations were refunded or donated to the homebrew scene or something, but don't see the point of giving more press to it.
dont forget Club House Games, have a picto chat type thing for when you play online with firends.
