I'm searching worldwide now.

 

[Ironclad]

Ironclad whats your friend code.

I haven't gotten the game yet. Today after class though.

 

[Unison]

Important: Both parties have to enter each other to connect in a Friends game.

To anyone with a Netgear mr814v2 or mr814v3. You need to set up a static IP in order for it to work right. Figured I'd let you know to save some frustration(like I had =_| ).

 

[-james-]

I ran out early from work and picked it up at Target. Cant get the damn thing to connect though. Any experts out there willing to lend a hand?

My setup:

actiontec dsl modem/gateway
Wireless enabled WEP and MAC filtering (yes i entered the hex key and added the ds mac to the list)
running mixed mode b/g

I cant get my ds to even see the access point. I know it works as my daughters iMac is hooked up wirelessly using WEP. Tried with no security also. Do i need 802.1x set up? What is a radius server and how do i find the IP? I thought this would be easy....

 

[MrCheez]

Akia, Tekno, Spaz, Unison... anyone else who added me... search for friends right now

 

[Akia]

I added borghe, TheDuce22, and Error2k4. I'm searching friends. So far one person entered.

 

[MrCheez]

[littlewig]

Well, it seems like it finally decided to do something.

One of the blocks are flashing yellow while searching, what does this mean?

 

[TekunoRobby]

I'm getting totally slapped around by Unison :lol

He OWNS me at the start, I still haven't learned how to do the boost, someone teach me!

 

[Error]

searching for friends... grr... hurry up! :lol

 

[littlewig]

Damn you Main Event, man i suck. HAhaha

 

[Teddman]

Aw yeah! Cheapass router owners rejoice! From the Nintendo.com forums:

In the router's configuration, go to:

ADVANCED (top bar) and then PERFORMANCE (side bar)

Set the following:

Basic Rates: 1-2(Mbps)
TX Rates: 1-2,5.5-11(Mbps)
Preamble Type: Long
Authentication: Open System

Reboot and I bet you'll be talking.

(Your basic rates is probably "1-2,5.5-11" right now, which will not work with the DS.)


Taken from the official forums.(works for me on 2 different di-514 routers)

Tekuno, watch the Mario Kart DS Presentation - Part 1 video on this page. IIRC, the presentor gives a tip on how to perform the boost from the starting line within the first few minutes of the video.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Sorry for quitting Unison, but the girlfriend wants to play. :lol Great matches, you rock!

Thanks Ironclad_Ninja, I will study that to make ammends on my poor performance.

 

[Unison]

I'm getting totally slapped around by Unison :lol

Hold "A" when the 2 is about to disappear.

Good games! We seemed pretty even!

Thanks, bitches.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Online Mario Kart, no matter how simplified it is and annoying the connection problems are, totally rocks it. Playing with Unison was great fun, good challenge, and a blast knowing that I'm screwing up someone across the country with my foul banana peels hahaha.

 

[littlewig]

It ended in a tie Main, haha, I need to practice more.

 

[Error]

fuck the game is still searching for friends, add me!

 

[MrCheez]

Daaaaaaaaamn Akia that was some close shit :lol

Searching right now, Error!

 

[Akia]

Great match Mr.Cheez. I wish there was a tie breaker.

 

[MrCheez]

Ditto This is such a blast.

Error, did you add me? You're stats don't show up in my friends roster.

[Papi]

How long does it usually take to search for people?

 

[MadraptorMan]

I am so steamed right now. I bought a D-Link Wireless DI-524 router from Amazon.com because it was a good deal and also 5-star compatible on Nintendo's router list. Well, I got Mario Kart today, and what's this? It won't connect. So I go to Nintendo's wifi site; lo and behold they have revised their list. My version of the router, v. A2, is NOT compatible AT ALL with the service, only version C1 is. Thanks a lot Nintendo, screw you.

 

[Error]

arrghhh I lost :lol :lol awesome

 

[Akia]

Awesome. I HAVE TO TIE THIS. The guy hasn't played any rounds before this.

See my post about the DI-514 above, it may well work for your 524 too.

"Global Wi-Fi Service is experiencing intermittent problems"

[Akia]

YES! Tie baby. I still can't believe you won that second match.

 

[Error]

[Akia]

Start searching. Where is Unison?

 

[Beezy]

Damn, this game must be great. So many of you are losing, but you're still enjoying it. I need a DS...

 

[littlewig]
