Remote Touch DS by Tobias W. Kjeldsen

-------------------------------------

Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.

 

Dummy guide: Remote Touch DS is a client-server based solution. Therefore you will ned to 

have a daemon/server up and running on the computer you want to remote control.

The daemon/server is located inside the "server"-folder. You can launch "start_windows_server.bat" and the windows server will start with portnumber 7777 or you can do it yourself via commandline. Run launch "start_windows_server.bat" if your a novice. To start the server

from commandline launch the commandline/terminal, browse to the directory containing rtds (etc. "cd c:/rtds/") and type, when your in the directory, "rtdsserver_multi-win.exe portnumber-here" example: "rtdsserver_multi-win.exe 7777".

After you have started the server you will see a line like this: "Server is running on TCP/UDP port:????".

Now copy the .nds from the "client"-folder to your cartridge and connect to the servers

hostname/IP and with the servers portnumber. (You can find your servers IP-address in Windows if you type:

"ipconfig" in commandline.) You will first enter IP/hostname and thereafter the port number.

If you dont want to enter ip-address and port-number every time you launch Remote Touch DS-

you can put a .txt file named "rtds_settings.txt" in the root dir of your cartridge and in the file write the following:

"ip-address:port" (example: "192.168.0.196:7777") - now the next time you launch Remote Touch DS it will automatically connect with this data.

Will use your default WFC data on your Nintendo DS.

 

On Windows (step by step, by mongule):

1. Open up Run form the start menu and type CMD then run that

 

2. Check your IP-address with "ipconfig" in command prompt

 

3. Then still in command prompt, got to wherever you have the server folder EX: c:\server\

 

4. Then write rtdsserver_multi-win.exe 235( or whichever port you want) hit enter, it should run now, on windows 7 it asked me for permission with the firewall

 

5. Put the client folder on your flashcart, and run it

 

6. Enter IP-address of your computer(now server) and the port choosen earlier

 

What is what:

"server"-folder 

contains server binary for Windows. 

Start the server from commandline with port arguments or run rtdsserver.exe -help

(Remember to have "cygwin1.dll", when using Windows, in the same folder as server binary.)

"client"-folder

contains Nintendo DS binary. 

Put this on your cartridge of choice, with DLDI support of course.

Will use your default WFC data.

If you dont want to enter ip-address and port-number every time you launch Remote Touch DS-

you can put a .txt file named "rtds_settings.txt" in the root dir of your cartridge and in the file write the following:

"ip-address:port" (example: "192.168.0.196:7777") - now the next time you launch Remote Touch DS it will automatically connect with this data.

 

If you want to use Media Control Extended (MEX) you need to use a player which supports default mediaplayer bindings -- most do this.

At the moment only a Windows-version of the server is available, but a OSX and *unix version will also be done.
