    Hey.

    I can't get a successful connection.
    I followed the tutorial for the r4189 version, but I get the 52100 error.
    I read the post #80...
    Well, tbh, I'm not that really good with internet connection stuff and routers...
    I know that my computer is connected to the internet via an Ethernet LAN but we also have a wireless connection enabled for lattops, phones etc.
    Also I don't really feel comfortable with messing around with my router settings, cuz I still live with my parents and I don't want to get in trouble xD
    You think that disabling the Wireless router should solve the problem?
    Now I don't really know if this could be a problem, but I'm just trying to give you as much details as possible to try and fix this problem.
    I also tried the second option, thinking IP could be the problem, that we can more computers in my house, but it failed, or I failed, and I still couldn't connect.
    Oh, and I'm using XP it that is of any use...

    Reading through the topic.
    I decied to try the r3947 version. I still can't connect, however this time around I get the 52000 error msg.
    I tried replacing the firmware.dfc, but it didn't work and also moving the "biosnds7.bin", "biosnds9.bin", and "firmware.bin" into the Firmware Folder didn't fix the problem, so I'm kinda stuck atm.

    Thnx in advance for all the help


    EDIT;
    seems like this is the root of my problem as my router is a WRT54GL Linksys, so....

    Would getting a new router, without a Wireless Connection option be able to fix the problem?
    Like, would getting my own Router for my own room be able to fix the problem?
    If I connect just one Computer to it ?


    EDIT2;

    Cuz I really want to get this work I played a bit more with all the settings, I disabled the use external firmware image
    and I tried again to connect but while I was still unable to connect, this time I got a system msg, which translated into english would say...

    "Windows System Error - there was an IP address conflict with another system on the network"

    Well, I tried to change the DS IP as said in post #80, however that didn't fix the problem, or I might have done something wrong....


    EDIT3;

    Still playing around a little bit.
    Trying svn3947 and I get a new Error 52700


    EDIT4;

    Played arround little more, and I somehow got to work it xD
    I'm not really sure what I did, or what change made it work, but the tutorial works ^^'
    Looks like I was just a bit slow.
    Right now I'm using the svn3947 version and it works.
    I'll try again with the svn4189 version, and hopefully get it to work, but I'm not sure it will work, because I was getting a different error for the both versions.


    EDIT5;

    the svn4198 version is still not working, I'm still getting the 52100 Error everytime, not matter what I do.

    I got a successful connection on the svn3947 version, when tessting, before starting the game, Pkmn White. However when trying the connection in game it does not work.
    I get two Errors, 20100 or 52100...

    Far as I know, no DS emulator has that ability to link between 2 emulators running on the same computer. I personally haven't tried proofing otherwise either, simply because I've never attempt to play 2 version of a game say Pokemon Black and Pokemon White so that I get 2 save files from 2 different versions. Thus there's no way I can do the proofing. You can try to attempt it though if you have the time. Cause you need to just remember that you can't use the same (only 1) save file to be run on 2 emulators and expect to exchange the Friend Code (FC). Cause each save file generate its own unique FC. Thus you need to have 2 different save files (not by duplicating 1 save file). Short to speak, either you play the Pokemon Black or the Pokemon White .NDS game 2x to generate 2 different save files or play both the black and the white. Hope you understand my explaination.



    @ EWFGQEZ,
    Seems like you had read most of the posts made in this topic, much appreciated. Well, yes, again the issue is as you had mentioned yourself. You got conflicting IP address on your system. It might work if the IP address can be self assign to avoid that conflict.
    Either you manually assign an unused IP address into the emulator's WFC, or use a non-WIFI router. The later wouldn't be the answer as you mentioned you're living with your parents that uses the WIFI.

    Those error codes you got are again related to conflicting IP address. And yes, the SVN 3947 so far has been the better of the other versions. I'm still using that version to this day, the newer ones do work, but often causes errors. So I don't recommend using the newer ones if your intention is only to play older games. Unfortunately, since I'm not familiar with most router/modem types other than the ones I had used, you'll need to figure out on your own how to assign an independent IP address on your router to avoid conflicting with the other IP assigned for the LAN and WLAN used by your family.

    im using DeSmuMe v.0.9.7 r3947 WIFI with WinPcap v.4.1.2
    the other version is not working for me
    i can trade trough GTS and play dream world with no problem
    but i still can't random battle online (maybe its because of my connection)

    i've try with 2 different .SAV, 1 black and 1 white
    but WIFI club did'nt work
    you can only enter WIFI club with 1 desmume in 1 PC
    i keep getting error code 91010 when the other desmume is try to get in WIFI club

    well, maybe its not gonna work
    i think its because IP conflict

    I really don't get it..
    I keep getting Error 52100.
    So, it finds SoftAP, it starts connecting - everything is fine.
    But sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes,
    it suddenly disconnects and I get the error.
    I'm using Win7, starting it as admin, doing
    erverything correctly. What could be the cause?

    Here is an example.

    @ silverine,
    Thanks for doing the testing.

    @ minale,
    Try SVN 3947. The issue could also come from your router. Make sure to use LAN Broadband (wired), not the ones with WIFI antena, and
    you must do a direct line connection (cannot have more than 1 computer linked on that router) to avoid IP conflict. Else, do as mentioned
    in page 1.

    I had this setup nicely on Vista, now I've upgraded to 7 and for some reason the emulator (3947) doesn't save the firmware anymore. I tried doing everything from scratch but now it doesn't even create a firmware file so I can't even use the replacement ones, why is this happening? The latest version of Desmume loads the firmware but no matter what I do I get the 52100 error, don't know what to do anymore.

    NOTE:
    For those of you having difficulties to get the Reshiram! and Zekrom! Pokemon Movie 12 Special using WIFI, you can still grab it by using WonderCard Distribution and utilizing POKESAV or PMGE program. That includes some of the other past WIFI distribution events.
    Available in my WonderCard Distribution Topic : Pokemon Black and White Latest Distribution Event Wonder Card (JPN-EU)

    SIDE NOTE:
    For rom users, rejoice! You can add both Reshiram and Zekrom into your save file using Pokesav's Wonder Card option, that way you can get both the Zekrom and Reshiram C-Gear Skins in your CUSTOMIZE option in PGL. Of cause you'll have to do that on a space of 2 days. Since you can only send-wake up 1 pokemon per day using just 1 save file, without having to play on both rom versions (Black and White). But you will still need to use the 2 versions in order to get both pokemons since they are distributed exclusive to each version.

    By the way, if you had used my method of converting the JPN wondercard to ENG for Reshiram and Zekrom, you could activate the above event just the same. I had did just that a day before the EU/US WIFI distribution event, and got the C-Gears legitimately. :p

    So... there is no way to connect to WiFi via WLAN (notebook)?
     
  15. Prectorian

    Prectorian . Staff Member

    No. WLAN not possible.
     
  16. deSSy2724

    deSSy2724 Member

    Im just wondering why no wlan support, i mean, whats the real difference between WLAN and LAN (ok, wire... what else?), speed ofc not if ur close enough

    I have a bunch of questions also xD

    1. Whats the ad-hoc thing in wifi options? in every single tutorial they are using Infrastructure, does the ad-hoc work?
    2. The 0.9.7 svn 3947 release is from emucr or from real desmume developers?
    3. Are they still working on wifi and wifi via wlan support?
    4. How is the Pokemon B/W game sync ID generated? save file, firmware or emulator?
     
  17. Prectorian

    Prectorian . Staff Member

    1. Ad-HOC is connection between 2 computer via wireless method ; Infrastrucre is connection between router to computer.
    Of cause AD-HOC won't work on the DeSmuMe WIFI feature, at least not yet to date.
    2. The SVN releases aren't from the original developers, its from a different group that kept doing improvement to the original.
    The original team made up to v.0.9.7 and has stayed there since.
    3. The original team don't support the feature for various reasons. I know some of the reasons.
    4. The Game Sync ID is generated at random , so no 2 save files will generate the same ID even though created using a single .NDS
    rom.
    5. There could be some reason behind why the WLAN isn't supported, even the No$GBA not yet support the method to date.
    Maybe some day it might, emulators aren't perfect copy of the real thing. Even the emulator for GBA to date still undergoing
    continuous improvements. Between the SVN 3947 to the latest version, there are some things that has to be sacrifice in order to
    improve the other 'more important' functions. Among the ones sacrificed is the WIFI ability in the newer SVN to make way for
    faster emulation speed and overcoming the latest AP protection.



    @YoTsi;
    Not sure if on the other end of your ethernet cable is a wireless device/antena. As for the save file issue, just use a savefile convertor to convert it to DeSmuMe's .dsv extension.

    @Bila1989;
    Try doing "CTRL-R" on the main screen of your SVN 3947. Make sure its given admin right. The newer SVN version has issues, not recommended for the time being.

    @sapphireBLUE16;
    Some claim that they can play without installing WinPcap, but I doubt it will if not installed. I can't say much because I'm not sure what connection method you are using. Just make sure its done as page 1. Wired LAN Broadband not Wireless/USB Dongle/Antena, and must be connected direct and no other computer is using the same IP as the one being set up.

    @esterbantr;
    You're welcome. Glad to here you got it working on your own.

    @Alper199216;
    Sorry, I don't cater to team view. Just follow the method on page 1. Its straight forward. If you can't or not able to fulfill the requirements as mentioned and get all sort of error codes. Likely either;
    1. you have conflicting IP address (maybe more than 1 computer is hooked to the router)
    2. you are using wireless device / a router with a WIFI capable antena
    3. your computer's DRM security is blocking the feature
    4. make sure to give full admin right on your firewall and antivirus

    This error code 52000

    Prectorian . Staff Member

    @Alper199216;

    From looking at your pictures (bottom portion right side), it seems to me that you are on wireless connection, cause I don't see the normal "network" icon. Are you on wired LAN Broadband or wireless?

    [​IMG]

    You said you have 2 computers, are they both connected to the same connection at the same time?
    If your answer is yes, then there might be a conflicting IP address issue. If you are on wireless, obviously it won't
    work. Just so you know the 52000 error code means that either you are on wireless or have conflicting IP.

    So I've been trying to connect repeatedly for the past 2 weeks with no success. I want to know if I must have a router connected to a wired modem in order to be able to connect, because it seems that my problem lies in the fact that I am connected directly to the wired modem itself. Does anyone have the same issues I'm having even after following all the directions and still receiving the 52000 error?

    Edit: To clarify...

    I am using r3947.
    I am connected directly (no router) to a cable (broadband) modem with no other connected devices.
    r3947 and WinPcap 4.1.2 are exceptions in my firewall.
    WinPcap 4.1.2 is an exception in my DEP list.

    Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

    Edit 2: My computer also has a built-in wireless network card, but I disabled the network. Even though I have disabled the network, do I need to physically remove the card too?

    Edit 3: I've only tested it on a patched rom of Pokemon White. Does this matter at all?
