Well I have just finished packing my bags ready for my flight to Barcelona tomorrow for the Mobile World Congress. Here are some of the goodies that I’ll be bringing with me.
Hopefully, I haven’t forgotten anything!
I got myself a Nintendo DS just before Christmas last year but no matter what I did I was unable to connect it to the internet using my wireless home router. I found some router information on Nintendo WiFi site but no matter what I did it just wouldn’t connect. It seemed that I wasn’t alone as a quick Google found other users unable to connect to the Nintendo WFC service either. One of my colleagues at work who had a brand new Netgear Router was also unable to connect. With this I kinda gave up and just enjoyed my DS as it was.
With my new BT Home Hub installed I thought that I’d give the DS another go and see if it would connect to the internet. A couple of clicks later and I was in for a surprise – it connected!
A whole new side of the DS has been opened for me… It’s so much more fun competing against people around the world! It’s just a shame that don’t get to find out a bit more about who you are playing against, like having a country flag or something as an indicator.
How it’s come along since the days when I had my first (original) GameBoy and used to play Link-up Tetris with my friends by plugging in a cable between the two devices…
