It's been a while since Lick updated DSLiveWeather, but we're happy to see an update on his application that DS fans might like. DSLiveWeather has been updated and given the "Vesper" build name, along with one additional bit of functionality.

What you should note about this Vesper build is that it's been compiled against Chism's DLDI, or Dynamically Linkable Disc Interface, an add-on for Libfat. This should allow you to store DSLiveWeather on more types of memory cards, though you've probably got one that's already compatible with DLDI if you're a veteran to the scene.

For those who haven't heard of it, DSLiveWeather lets you check the weather in your general area whenever it's turned on and a WiFi connection is active. Definitely useful for people who want to get even their weather news on their favorite handheld. Enjoy the download, and don't forget to send Lick some props for his app.

The last time Lick gave us Aperio 2, it was still built with DSWifi update 0.3b. Now, Lick has managed to add more features to DS LiveWeather.

The application now works with the Supercard Lite and you can actually save the units preference in the Settings tab of Profile. You'll also find that the 'Updated x min ago' is now functional, showing exactly how old the information is. You can view the current weather and weather forecast of all the locations supported by Weather.com. Also, you'll have pretty icons that are taken with permission from Xbox Media Center Weather. You can now configure/load and save 64 unique Location Profiles and it comes not only with Full touchscreen control, but also keycontrol.

To install, just download the DSLiveWeather Aperio 3 link, then copy it to your homebrew device. Lick notes that if your homebrew device supports FAT then DSLiveWeather can load and save location data known as Location Profiles and downloaded weather data; however, you have to create a directory named "DSLiveWeather" in the root directory. See "DsWifi ready!" and "LibFat ready!" but if you see something like "DSWiFi failed!", report it to Lick asap. If you see "LibFat failed!", it means your homebrew device is more updated than Supercard Lite, and thus cannot support the Aperio 3. You can press SELECT on each tab to see the Help message for that screen.

You might just encounter some bugs when you download Aperio 3. When this happens, just report it to Lick. As the new version is not yet executed fully, Lick tells us that the remaining 7% may just be the completion of WiFi Configuration that allows the user to catch weather information by instantly connecting with free hotspots. Thanks for the awesome job, Lick and we're looking forward to future updates.

DSLiveWeather">Lick's sleek homebrew application called DSLiveWeather "Aperio" 2 will have you wishing the conversation gets a meteorological turn. Aperio being the Latin for "open," will surely open your opinion about weather conditions. Just boot up your WiFi connection and this application gives you live updates on weather conditions to any location.

According to his blog, this is the "First Official Release" that includes graphics, current weather and forecasts. It's a big leap compared to an almost B&W UI of earlier versions. Other changes are listed in the changelog:

• Added Help screen, access by pressing Select.
• Added forecasting! (YAAY!!)
• Added a small iTWC logo, required in weather.com XML license.
• Fixed some bugs, thanks for reporting them.

Bugs:

• Still using the limited libFat, until DevKitPro r20 is out.
• Please report any bugs that you find so I can remove them ASAP.

Keep up the good work Lick. Thank you so much for sharing your work.

DSLiveWeather homebrewer Lick has updated his previous version into a more user friendly version, complete with graphics and icons. Unlike other homebrew updates, he's code-named his version releases with Latin terms. The previous one was apparently called "Tepidus", while this new one is "Aestus" (heat). This is his first official release with the icons for the weather.

Anyways, changes (from Tepidus release):

• Better layout current condition.
• One global server setting, so you don’t have to type that for each and every profile.
• Left and Right switches between profiles.
• Touching the information will switch between units (F/C, miles/km).

He also has some installation notes:

• Make sure to create a directory in the root, named “DSLiveWeather”. (If you’re upgrading from previous installations, remove the trailing exclamation icon (”!”) from the directoryname.)
• You must use the file ‘weather/fetch2.php’ from the server ‘lick.huuf.net’. Must.
• You might want to delete reports.b, because there has been a change in the way DSLW loads that file. Though you don’t -need- to do it.

Another piece of great homebrew for the DS was updated by developer Lick. DSLiveWeather is a program that uses your weather.com location ID to tell you the weather in your area - straight from your DS! This program is definitely still a work in progress but it's very useful.

In order to use this great application, you must first download and install the .nds file listed below and have a WiFi configuration. Next, you need to start the program and input a server and filename. The two servers hosted by the creator are lick.huuf.net and lick.whatalicefound.net. Put one of those in the server window and then in the file window put weather/fetch.php if you use the 'Huff' server, and 'fetch.php' if you use the 'Alice' server. 

Finally, you'll need your weather.com location ID. To get this information, go to www.weather.com and click on 'World' near the top. Enter your location, and then you'll see the code in your URL bar.

For example, mine is http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USIL0225. Therefore, my ID would be USIL0225.

There are more letters and numbers after that but that's all you need. Place that in your DS and hit 'Currently' and then touch the green tick. Every time you want to update you must press the tick. If you have location profiles saved, you can switch between them using the arrows at the top of the touchscreen. To make a profile, just have a folder called /DSLiveWeather! in the root of your card. Enjoy!

Nintendo DS homebrew developer, Lick, has shared his DSLiveWeather! with everyone. It's a simple program that connects to WiFi in order to get live updates on weather conditions to the locations you choose. Very useful application, especially if you're the type to travel a lot.

The output on the screen is console text only, but the developer promises to replace the interface with graphics. There seems to be a lot of support online for this application, so we're really expecting an update sometime soon. So, just check up again, and maybe we'll have a newer version for DSLiveWeather! up and running.

To get started, you'd have to create a text file containing your 4-letter ICAO location code and store that file in the root folder as "icao.txt". If you don't know your ICAO code, don't panic! It can easily be Googled, as with any other location you wish to check up on.
