[TUTORIAL] Guide to Enable WIFI Feature On DeSmuMe v.0.9.7

@ Kevin,

Mind rechecking your post. You seems wanting to quote my post but decided to remove it and requote NeverExpo's post but didn't remove my name. Now it look like as if I am asking for assistance for the tutorial I wrote.

Try doing the methods above your post that I had wrote for NeverExpo or watch the youtube video from John3. And I looked up about 'Verizon Fios" its a DSL broadband alright, but it seems its also hook-able to a digital tv. I guess you have the cable linked to a tv as well ? Try removing it from the tv or at least deactivate it temporarily, before you try again. Some how this DeSmuMe does not work when 1 IP address is use on more than 1 hardware (compu, digital tv, etc.).

Good luck, got to go. Be back tomorrow (maybe). Cao.

 

FIOS is not dsl, it is fiber optic. DSL uses the telephone wires.

 

Oops... my bad. Missed red it on Google Search.

 

By default the firmware.dfc will turn up on its own once you setup and configure the DeSmuMe WIFI Configuration. Any idea what's the difference between the one that show up by default and the one you posted ?

In any case, I've posted the file on page 1; your version which I copied to my own mediafire account (option 1) and my own default copy (option 2).

 

Maybe those who got that error code 20104, somehow couldn't get the DeSmuMe to create that firmware.dfc on its own. Cause its should if they had configured the DeSmuMe settings according to the tutorial on page 1. Maybe their firewall prevent them from creating it, which is why they need help by copying over someone's working file. In any case, thanks for the information and file you provided.

 

It works for me, but it normally takes several tries before it does. Sometimes got cut off half-way through the race or near the final leg, but never freezes on me.

 

The above post is not as comprehensive as the PM you sent me. But anyway these are the probable solution as I'm no
expert in this as the tutorial I made was based on the success of my own setting the program up for my own personal use.

1. This method is for LAN Broadband that connect via telephone line to a modem/router. Not sure if it will work on Digital
Broadband devices as I don't have such device. But it will surely not work on telephone DIAL UP connection, and wireless
router or USB 3G/3.5G Dongle, etc. So you really will need to identify which is your type of connection.
2. Try removing the WinPcap and reinstalling it, make sure to tick boot on loading as per mentioned in the tutorial page 1.
Then go to Control Panel --> Firewall --> Exception --> Add Program --> Locate WinPcap Folder --> Choose rpcapd-->Ok
3. Download the Fix for Error 20104 from page 1, use the file marked as Option 1 or Option 2. Use only 1, its basically the
same file. Extract the downloaded file, and place it in the main DeSmuMe folder together with the other files in the folder.
*Choose Replace File if your DeSmuMe has already created the same file by default (which it should).
4. Regarding Error 5XXXXX, again its related to the above mentioned No.1 (related to connection). Possibilities:
a. Maybe due to In-compatible connection method (should be as per mentioned in page 1)
b. Unstable send/receive data packet in your Broadband Connection
c. Maybe the Firewall is blocking the WinPcap (do step no.2)
d. Try going to Network Connection --> Right Click --> Choose "Repair" or Choose "Disconnect" then you re-"Connect"
5. Try watching the youtube video courtesy of John3. Maybe it'll help you figure out how to set it up.
6. I had no problem setting it up on my Win 7 and Win XP without having to face any problem. Not sure why on several other
people who had tried it on Win 7 are facing problems such as yours.

* The WinPcap is just to help "mimic" a WIFI connection to "fool" the Nintento WFC, so that you can go online using the
DeSmuMe. Some people in the net had mentioned about being able to go online using DeSmuMe without WinPcap, but I've
not tried it.

 

For starter, you're not suppose to delete the firmware.bin. The firmware.dfc is suppose to be created automatically based on the firmware.bin and the WIFI Emulator Settings you setup if done correctly, but sometimes ( I can't explain why), seems like some Win 7 user need to replace the exsisting firmware.dfc with the replacement file as mentioned by John3 several posts above yours.

Next, do make sure you're really using LAN Broadband where the connection originate from a telephone cable, hooked to a modem router and connected to your computer through a LAN Broadband DSL/ADSL cable. Also, do read the post above your's. Those are what I can recommend for a solution, other than that I've no idea. Maybe try fiddling around and viewing John3's youtube video might help.

 

it will work with cable and should with fios as well. What is critical is that the PC running the emulator is connected to the router/modem via (wired) ethernet. the computer doesn't care what is on the other side of the modem/router.

 

Yes it should have worked if their internet connection is on wire and not wifi/wireless, but strange as it sound the ones that seems to face issues are those on Win 7. But I haven't any issue setting it up even on the first attempt on both Win 7 and Win XP. I can't figure out why they're facing issues while I didn't.
