Story here

So, does anyone´s been able to find them? I´ve been searching high and low, but couldn´t find any site where they´ve been uploaded.

It usually takes several days for these to appear. Don't fret, they'll be out.

I can't wait to try Akadoko and Bleach

How would I work these? Do I need a wireless router, or just access to a wireless internet connection? I didn't have a DS when the E3 demos were out, so I didn't pay attention.

bleach demo, huh? that might be enough to make me look into those wi-fi loaders or whatever.

You need a WiFi card or Router, plus some specific program and drivers. Do a search and you´ll probably find those.

If I have a wireless-capable laptop do I have a wifi card?

If you can connect to the internet through it, I´d say yes. If not, I doubt it. Check the hardware setup for a wifi card.

Hell yes, I'm off to find those E3 demos.

wait...router as in only a wireless router?

Yes, all you need is a wireless router. But it has to be a certain type.

This site gives you a step by step guide on loading the demos onto your DS:

and here are the E3 demos (also including other demos such as Jump Super Stars) that you can transfer over to your DS:

Wireless, yes. Regular routers don´t work until you have a WiFi PCI card (like myself)

AFAIK you cannot do this with a wireless router alone, you need a compatible wireless 802.11g card (PCI or I think USB as well, some PCMCIA ones even) based on the RA25xx chipset.

In short, you can check this list here to see if you have one that can do it.

I can't wait to try Sonic Rush if it becomes available.

GAH! NO YOU CANNOT USE A ROUTER.

All you need is a wireless card (PCI/PCMCIA, NOT USB!) with a RT2560 chipset. These are very cheap, from $15-$25 US and even cheaper in Europe.

You also need a special homebrew driver for the card. If you use the card to do DS demos, you cannot use it to do anything else. The driver is not compatible with normal wireless network protocols, only the DS protocol.

That said, it's dirt cheap, and there's a large collection of demos available now. The original E3 demos (especially the Submarine demo) are worth it alone. There's a very good tutorial on the forum, just search for DS demos.
