Requirements

Compatibility

Should be compatible with every cart which have DLDI driver

Installation

Patch the nds file with a DLDI patcher (not needed for DS-X)
Copy the patched file to your card and start it.
It'll try to create the config file if it doesn't exist.

Files:

-ircds_v03b.ini - sample config
-ircds-neocompo.nds     \  programfiles, needs to...
-ircds-neocompo.ds.gba  |  ...be patched first...
-ircds-neocompo.ds.nds  /  ...with a DLDI patcher! Prepatched to SCSD.
-readme.txt - this file :)

Skin:

You can find a sample skin in ircds.ini
Use HTML color codes (like: bottom_bg = #FF50B0)

Connect to MSN using IRCDS=

Some IRC servers can be used as gateways to connect to instant messaging systems like MSN.

Once IRCDS loads enter the below details in settings (spanner icon)

Nickname: (any name will do but you are best to use the first part of your MSN email address. eg. for [email protected] you would enter fred667)
Server: im.uk.bitlbee.org
Autoconnect: Yes
Tap 'Save To Card' to finish

Finally:

Press your DS's Start button to connect IRCDS

Once the screen says "Now talking in @bitlbee". Type the following, this just needs to be done once.

register password (change password to a unique password for bitlbee)
account add msn [email protected] msnpassword (change [email protected] to your MSN email address and msnpassword to your MSN password)
account on (this enables your MSN account)

MSN is now live on screen

To connect the next time type:

identify password (where password is the bitlbee password you selected above)

Controls

Start- (re)connect

Select - disconnect

B - parts from a channel

L,R - gives back your previous message

X,Y - changes the backlight

Left,right,up,down - scrolls the upper screen

START+SELECT (at logo screen) - disables FAT support

Known Issues

'Reset to menu' does not work

Selecting 'Reset to menu' may cause your card to freeze, just use the power button as normal.

ircds_v03b.ini auto-creates incomplete

If you do not copy the file ircds_v03b.ini to your card's root, the app will auto-create it but without the skin section.
