Beup Live is an instant messanger client for the Nintendo DS that will allow you to login on Window Live Messager on your Nintendo DS.

According to the author, as Microsoft took down MSNP9 Protocol, that means that Beup Live doesn't work anymore, since it uses MSNP9. Developer later downgraded Beup Live to MSNP8 with the only difference of there is no avatar support in MSNP8.

Beup was presented in the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2006 (NDS Apps, 1st place) and the NEO Spring Coding Compo 2007 (NDS App).

FAQ

Q. Hand written messages are not received.

This is a known bug.

Q. Can't find how to enter Access Point SSID.

Tap on the word SSID to display all the Access Point SSIDs available to you.

Q. Stuck at "Acquiring host info from DHCP."

Many Homebrew Wifi apps can't connect to Access Points using DHCP. The work around is to use a fixed IP address.

For more details see Common Homebrew Wifi Problems.

Q. Can't connect to Access Point with hidden SSID.

This is a known issue with many Homebrew Wifi apps. Only fix is to unhide the SSID.

Note that if you unhide your wifi, then rehide it once logged on, you stay connected, even if your modem has to restart

Q. SSL failed message.

Sometimes Beup fails with the above error. It will try to reconnect automatically and normally success the second time.

Q. Avatars are not downloaded.

Beup will refuse to open downloaded avatars if their size isn't 96x96 (the standard).

Q. Ink messages not received.

Beup will refuse to open inks if they are wider than 256 px (can't present those).

Q. Avatar downloads may fail.

The official MSN client will refuse to send avatars if the last one was sent less than 5 minutes ago.

That means that if you chat with somebody, disconnect, and then open the tab, avatar download may fail. (wait a few minutes, then try again).

Q. Stuck at Handshake.

The MSN dispatch servers changed last year, make sure you are using the files downloaded from the main website not any of the mirrors holding fixed versions.

Alternatively try rebooting your Access Point/router.
