DS Chat is a homebrew Pictochat with online history, all communications are public and are published to a web page when it works. The program is based on the wifi lib by Sgstair, uses UDP to send the massages you draw on your DS to the other connected users.
Installation
Online (Firmware) settings from an online game. Now DHCP and WEP are supported, so nothing more should be needed.
The program uses the conection settings from any ds online game (Mario Kart for example). Once set up in the official game, it should be ready to go.
Controls
X - Change from 1 message to 4 messages view, Change font for the drawings (from the settings), Change skins (simple JPG images, located in the /skins/ folder)
Known issues
The chat uses your user name from the personal settings. Only latin characters are supported now, so you will have problems publishing your messages, and possibly connecting, if your name uses foreign characters or symbols.
The servers have some problems updating the message list.
Very rarely the applications seems to freeze. You can restart the application when this happens.
