DSLiveWeather is a WiFi application on the Nintendo DS that allows user to fetch the current weather information of the location user choose. It will indirectly display the current weather offered by Weather.com.

Features

  • Automatically load and save LocationProfiles to your FAT.
  • Up to 64 LocationProfiles.
  • Configure server settings.
  • Very nice user interface and keyboard.
  • Actively developed.

Installation

Download and extract file to apps folder.

Create a folder called DSLiveWeather in the root of card.

User guide

Type your location there and it will display location ID, choose the one you need (for instance Rome Italy would be ITXX0067).

Known issues

"Error saving xxxxx" or "Error loading xxxxxx" would appear when there is no DSLiveWeather folder in the root of flash card.

Changelog

Version July 12

  • Automatically searches for the DSLiveWeather directory within 3 depth levels away from the root. This means that the following three configurations will work:
    • /DSLiveWeather
    • /<1>/DSLiveWeather
    • /<1>/<2>/DSLiveWeather
  • This procedure is done with my Locator() function. If you would like to see this feature in more homebrew projects, spread the word to the developers!
  • People experienced problems with Saving to FAT. This should be fixed.
  • This build uses the latest official DSWifi 0.3.2. I hope it fixes some of the WiFi problems.

Credits

It is built with DevKitARM r20, libfat (DLDI), dswifi/wifilib 0.3.1, rebootlib 1.1.
