#5 Messenger-type display
Ok, last night, in bed i thought of this, why can't NO be
like a messenger type (type is the key word) program
like Y! IM, AIM, and MSN. To me, this would be easier
because
1.) you can select which DS you can stream through,
instead of everyone streaming through at one time
2.) it's a lot more convenant, because of, like i said
above, instead of everyone streaming through and
clogging up the users bandwith, you can select two or
three and still have enough bandwith to surf the web
(most likely NOT for Dial-up connections, because it
would keep kicking you off every two minutes, but who
has Dial-up nowadays?)
that's all i have right now, i'll add a file tommorow or the
day after with pictures and more information.

If you had to keep changing who you would like to 'stream'
you would have to be next to a computer all the time.. if it
is like that then you may as well use a chat client on the PC..

What i mean is that if a person comes online (his/her DS is
turned on), their data is streamed automatically between me
and, lets say nessj. for games that use the DS's internal
nickname (Super Mario 64 DS), the messenger display will
still stream that DS's data, because, if i got my logic
right, the games that do use the DS's internal Nickname must
send a line of MAC address code with the rest of the MAC
address for that game. Games that use their own nicknames
(Metroid Prime: Hunters First Hunt) will override that
section of the MAC address. So the messenger will put nessj
on 'wait' because, if i'm right, part of the MAC address is
the NU# (NU1, NU3, NU7, ect.). if i'm wrong, then it was i
good idea, but it might not work the way i would like it too.
