it was mainly HiHi who invaded xlink and expressed extreme hate and everyone said xlink was jelous. Im sure that Xlink knew it was a april fools joke. But i was hoping it was legit. The Screen Shots were proof of the hoax.

it was a late aprils fool joke though
so some people got their hopes up
but on the bright side did you hear about some hacker being able to send the multiplayer portion of super mario 64 ds from his computer to his ds Very Happy

yeh i was gettin my hopes up for it too, BUT it had a few key words in their claim that gave it away sayin that it was fake,

first of all they found a loophole, riiiiiiiiiight
The low bandwith page consisted of the source code of a a few lines of html code [anyone else look at this besides me?!?!] and that gave it away the sec i saw it lol

their pic was to simple too, you can make a simple Java applet using ANY java compiler [like JBuilder] and make this thing....take a picture and omg youve got a link program LOL

It all boils down to this...if your actually going to FAKE a ds link up program...take these 3 simple words of advice
*at least sign up for a free forum, this will make it more realistic
*do a better screenshot page that jadrule had
*actually come up with a way that could work instead of jsut claiming to have found a loophole or by simply thinking outside the box

I'd rant more about this but i think i'll just go back to making my own dslinkup programs Wink

Yeah I saw that, but I think it might be hacked. It redirects the .tk website to a geocities website. But only time will tell...

They've already admitted it was a hoax.

LMAO!! I just went to dsgaming.co.uk, then I came back here to post that I found out it was all a hoax, and then I saw this message. What a coincidence! But anyways, what a bunch of losers. I'm sorry for all the crap that got put on Xlink because of jadrule. But anyways, who cares when DS online gaming is coming soon anyways?

This is from Nintendo...Special software required for the new online service...imo that's meant for the pc...so it will be a GAMESPY TUNNEL....or does software mean games...but they could have said.....compatible with online games?

If it's a tunnnel I laugh my balls off.....hoping it's a firmware update....cos the ds can be f|ashed.

If it's a tunnel...yup yup only online play at your house....hehehe or a pc where you can install it Razz

....really portable... Sad

"special software required" to me implies software for the DS, aka you have to have a game that supports it.

Or a firmware update, that'd be sweet, online PictoChat.

How would the DS download a firmware update if it cant connect to hotspots with out the update? It could be an online game that updates the firmware when you first play it. I believe its just games that are written to use wifi and not the multi player prot.

Easy, special update booths, or software in games, or software for pc that can connect to DS and update.

There is no end to the possibilitys... Wink

Exactly. Metroid Prime Hunters, Animal Crossing, etc. Or stores could set up base stations that transmit the firmware updates to the DS.

Also very possible.
