Wiimmfi and DS Emulators

Hi,

I know that you don't allow Dolphin on your servers because you can't ban individual users with it and it adds a lot of lag, but what is the official Wiimmfi stance on DS emulators being used?
Is it the same as Wii emulators?
Also, if you do allow DS emulators, do you know which games work?
This is kind of important for me to know because it will decide whether I buy an SMS 4 or a flashcart.

Thanks,
huzzarisme

Dolphin is actually allowed when you use your own NAND (and if your computer is fast enough).

At the moment, no DS game works on Wiimmfi for some reason. So, as no DS game is working, there is no need to think about allowing DS emulators or not.

Is that down to a lack of testing or has it been tested and not worked?

Mario Kart DS has been tested and did not work - but nobody told us why.

I do not own Mario Kart DS and I'm not willing to research for DS games which will probably never used on Wiimmfi.

A little calculation: On the official servers, around 1,700 people were online in Mario Kart Wii. On Wiimmfi, there are around 150 people.
Compare that to the amount of MKDS players: On the official servers, only ten to twenty players were playing Mario Kart DS, so I doubt anyone will use this on Wiimmfi even if it would work.

Fair enough, I suppose that the Wii games had more people playing as it was newer. When I was on the GameSpy servers, in the final days, there were only a few people online on Mario Kart DS.

One final quick question, do you know whether Wiimmfi has DLC for games that had it originally, like the Layton games?

Wiimmfi does not have DLC.

Theoretically, if someone had them dumped while the official servers were up, this would have been possible, but we decided to not offer the DLC stuff because these files would contain copyrighted Nintendo stuff which we are not allowed to distribute.

Even if there was a NDS game playable on Wiimmfi, the actual NDS emulators current versions don't support WiFi mode, as far as I know. Old versions of the DeSmuME emulator support the WiFi mode but it requires a custom NDS firmware and it isn't very stable. Because of this custom firmware, it'll be easy to ban all the people using the emulator if a ban system is implemented. However as @Leseratte said, there is a lack of feedback from the NDS players, so it'll be difficult to make NDS games working on Wiimmfi.

I personally own MKDS, but I don't play online because it was totally horrible on Reunion Island ><'. In general I got disconnection too often and wasn't able to play due to my incapability to find players. I could try to get this game working, my gut instinct tells me it could be an encoding problem. Nonetheless, again, I don't have too much time to spend for now, so when I'll have it, I'll check this out.

If you really want to play NDS games you should check altwfc, few NDS games are working and the online as well. If I remember some screenshots Nagato posted on the gbatemp forum, he was able to play online with 2 NDS Emulators. Altwfc also has a DLC system with the contents captured before the shutdown.

Yeah, I know about the altwfc server, I was just seeing what the compatibility was like on Wiimmfi. If I ever get around to buying a Wii I'll be on Wiimmfi straight away. Anyway, thanks for telling me what the Wiimmfi server supports Leseratte and Sepalani.

A notice:
If you try NDS games, set the DNS server to 46.4.79.141 (or wiimmfi.de if a name is possible). The name server redirects many *.nintendowifi.net domains to wiimmfi.
