Alright,

I'm satisfied with this enough to make the first release. Make sure you read the instructions!

This version is still very limited. I've only tested it with my linksys router, and a few AIM usernames. I hope that you are able to log in. We'll see.

Anyway, let me know if it works.

Thanks for the support!

EDIT: Can you only recieve messages?

Amazing! I've logged in and am chatting now! Thank you so much!

One request, if you're taking any. Is there any chance you could make it so it looks like the keyboard buttons are pressed down so I know I'm hitting the correct letter? In Beup, when you press down, the letter button that you hit changes color as you push it.

Thanks again so much!

brennan: you can send and receive. I've not seen this bug... what names? the names on the buddy list or the names elsewhere?

dafatkid27: Next release will have this.

Working

System: DS Lite
Firmware: Flashme v7
Card: G6 Lite Chinese

Bugs: If I IM someone with an alias "person" for example.. it opens up a conversation for them. However, when I receive an IM back, a new conversation is opened from "person:::w". Everything else seems fine so far.

Suggestions: As dafatkid27 said, it would be nice if the keyboard buttons changed color when you hit them. Also, I think the SEND button should be where the Enter key currently is. The SEND will get much more use than Enter.

Thanks for the great work!

I seem to hang at Connecting to Wifi.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it now.

Works perfectly.

EDIT AGAIN: I do seem to hang on Connecting to Wifi. And when/if it says failed to connect to wifi, I can't retry?

Eck, sorry for posting again so quickly but Pinesal reminded me of something else I was going to bring up.

The first time I tried to connect I also froze. Not sure why. It would be nice if a window showing the connection steps appeared, so if you freeze you know which step its on.

Also, would be nice if the Buddy List could be navigated with the D-pad.

The names when I'm talking to someone. Like it should be...

hi im brennan: yo.
dude9387532895671:hey

It shows up as...

:::w: yo.
:::w: hey

EDIT: And some of the names on my buddy list don't show up at all, just a space. (I know they are on because I'm also on the computer)
Come to think of it, these might be the names that are shoting up as :::w when I send them a message.

I LOVE THE KEYBOARD in your software. Nice and big. I almost never miss a key. They layout works well, very usable interface indeed.

dafatkid27 · Post by **dafatkid27** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 6:45 am

Alright, back wuth more requests/suggestions and comments.

1) I love the big keyboard, please keep it as is, just add the pushed button feature as above (which I know you already confirmed, thanks).

2) Make it so it says when someone signs off if you have a chat opened with them (just like in AIM, "suchandsuch has signed off" right below the last line of text).

3) Please add the ability to navigate the buddy list and chats opened box with the DS's D-pad.

4) Maybe make the chat dialog box a bit bigger and the area where you enter the text a bit smaller.

5) Please add an away message feature. For example, I want to be able to put up an away message that says, "On my DS, may type slow", or any other away message.

5 1/2) Maybe when you close the lid of your DS, your default away message goes on and your DS goes into standby?

6) Lastly, saving of things to SRAM, or even just the ability to create a configuration file beforehand that it reads (I have an SCSD). It would be great not having to type in my username and password every time, but again I understand that this was a preview release, and I thank you for it.

Again, thanks so much for this wonderful application. Also, I hope you know that these are suggestions and comments and not complaints. Hopefully you are able to incorporate some of these ideas soon, but I understand that it's not necessarily easy. Thanks in advance!

A lot of the names in my buddy list are blank.

Here's a conversation with my other SN. The blank SN is my PC SN. ":::w:Ron" is my DS SN

:::w: Hi
:::w:Ron: hi
:::w:Ron: whats up?
:::w: Nothing. You?
:::w:Ron: im using my ds!

Some sort of crazy bug?
