| WarpPipe (www.warppipe.com) was a site that created something that allowed users to play GCN LAN games over the internet, via a router. Now they claim to have another project that relates to the DS, but they won't say who's funding them, where they get their DS hardware info, or what it does. Links: http://www.engadget.com/entry/4182100443364188/ http://www.nintendojo.com/specials/view_item.php?1096488064 A summary of clues and theories on what WarpPipe is doing: http://forums.warppipe.com/viewtopic.php?t=11573 What they're probably doing (I think), is creating some software for the DS that will somehow allow people all over the world to play via a wifi router, and they're funded by "an anonymous source", probably Nintendo (how else would they be able to hack the DS so efficiently?).

| I'm guessing the anonymus source is either a person who is dissenting Nintendo and their touch anything we've made and we'll chop your nuts off policy. Probably a disgruntled project member. | |||

That 'disgruntled project member' sounds very possible. It'd allow whoever's the main person in that whole thing to know how to go about hacking the DS right the first time. As far as funding, it could be Nintendo, but it very well could be someone else  Whatever they're doing with the DS, hopefully more info comes out on it sometime soon. This is probably a stupid question, but I'm assuming the Gamecube thing requires the modem thing that hooks up to the bottom of your Gamecube, right? If that's the case, darn  I don't have one of those, and I don't have the money to buy one right now  Whatever they're doing, it sounds really neat  Can't wait to here more |

And the warppipe program hadn't been upgraded in some time either. I downloaded the warppipe program for quite awhile ago, it's still the most recent.  But well, it could be something. It could be nothing... like with most Nintendo rumours. DS started of as a rumour in itself too. |

| Wouldn't be surprised at all, I've seen stuff on Slashdot about it. A "wireless online adaptor" or some silly name like that would sell like hotcakes, I imagine.  Get a few good 3D shooters on the system and look out. |

| DS Quake 3 port would be <3. Yeah, you do need the (broadband) modem to use it the original WarpPipe software. I highly doubt that this is just a rumour, because the guy who made WarpPipe said that he was going to make this . |

| Ok! Very likely it will be something called "Mario Net". You can connect to players world-wide using a WIFI connection point. The program will act like you're playing on a local WIFI so you'll be able to play all current multiplayer DS games worldwide...now that would be neat...  I searched around the internet a while and found out this thing is actually called "DeMasked". You can subscribe to a newsletter at: http://www.demasked.com/ .It's officially delayed untill somewhere 2005...darn it...  (edited by Ok Impala! on 11-24-04 03:01 AM) |

| Playing DS worldwide with other people. That would be really fun DeMasked, huh. The name doesn't make very much sense, but still, it sounds really neat. I'm assuming the PictoChat thing I read about that's on DS will work with that program as well whenever it's released. If they can start working on this sort of thing a couple days after the DS came out, I wonder what they have planned for the future |

| Ok! Actually, the name does make sense. Think about it, players can't see each other now while they are playing on their DS, it won't tell you another player is around. Now that's where DeMasked comes in, it makes all those players visible. |

| I heard all about this some time in September-- with those hints... A boy in the forest, and that marionette (find(s)me)... Weird stuff. I hope whatever this is, that it lives up to the hype. This had better be good. |

| Yeah, I had actually subscribed to that already . I think the only problem would be finding hotspots around (at least legal ones), as you wouldn't be able to just sit at your house and play online unless you had a wifi router. |

| Well, it has to use a wi-fi area. For example, if I was at school, I could access the network - I could also access it at home if I had a wireless router. But if I was on the bus, odds are it's a no-go. | |||

| I thought you could already do this with DS? Does it actually have online support? | |||

| To my knowledge, DS has wi-fi support, but it's from its own built-in adaptor with a defined radius. I guess it works as a game finder. |

Originally posted by HyperHackerI think it possible, just needs help for that. I think this project is about supporting it on your own wireless router. But then, I really don't know how well the DS games could take lag and such. |

| That online support has to do with those "hot spots", right? *Prays for one to be placed in Helsingborg* |

| This would actually be a good and cool thing, it would be fun to play a DS game worldwide. I'd say it's pretty true also, sounds familar to XBC if you ask me. |

| I did sign on thier mailing list too... I create a thread/post in this one. When I get the intresting e-mail. ^-^ If anything, what about wireless routers transmitting small games? I could see simple homebrewn games and emulators getting transferred easily... without any flash cart. <.< |
