Zemious, Jamian, and Ryanfsf,
I'm assuming you 3 are using Win 7 ? I really don't know why many Win 7 users have difficulties setting up DeSmuMe WiFi. I have installed the emulator on 2 of my Win 7 computer and was up and running the first time I set it up. I don't even need to troubleshoot anything. Maybe you need to try use the x32 bit version instead of the x64 bit. And really make sure your firewall allow the use of DeSmuMe and WinPcap, as well as make sure you're all using an Ethernet Network Adapter for your WIFI Configuration Infrastructure.

Jamian,
1. I don't know what NVDIA MCP Network Adapter is, but whatever it is, you should
be using a Network Adapter for Ethernet
2. I don't know what Comcast is.

Really sorry I can't be of much help, cause I didn't suffer any of the above issues you guys mentioned; not on my Win XP computer nor on my Win 7 computers. When I install the DeSmuMe and WinPcap, I merely do as what I mention in page 1. I didn't have to do anything/troubleshoot anything.

It could be that something is blocking your ability to use the emulator, maybe the firewall or antivirus, but I really not sure what causes many Win 7 users unable to make use of the emulator's WIFI feature.

nvidia MCP network adaptor is a built in ethernet adaptor on nvidia based motherboards. Make sure you're not using forceware network access manager, that's notorious for causing problems with stuff

comcast is a US internet provider.

The above post is not as comprehensive as the PM you sent me. But anyway these are the probable solution as I'm no
expert in this as the tutorial I made was based on the success of my own setting the program up for my own personal use.

1. This method is for LAN Broadband that connect via telephone line to a modem/router. Not sure if it will work on Digital
Broadband devices as I don't have such device. But it will surely not work on telephone DIAL UP connection, and wireless
router or USB 3G/3.5G Dongle, etc. So you really will need to identify which is your type of connection.
2. Try removing the WinPcap and reinstalling it, make sure to tick boot on loading as per mentioned in the tutorial page 1.
Then go to Control Panel --> Firewall --> Exception --> Add Program --> Locate WinPcap Folder --> Choose rpcapd-->Ok
3. Download the Fix for Error 20104 from page 1, use the file marked as Option 1 or Option 2. Use only 1, its basically the
same file. Extract the downloaded file, and place it in the main DeSmuMe folder together with the other files in the folder.
*Choose Replace File if your DeSmuMe has already created the same file by default (which it should).
4. Regarding Error 5XXXXX, again its related to the above mentioned No.1 (related to connection). Possibilities:
a. Maybe due to In-compatible connection method (should be as per mentioned in page 1)
b. Unstable send/receive data packet in your Broadband Connection
c. Maybe the Firewall is blocking the WinPcap (do step no.2)
d. Try going to Network Connection --> Right Click --> Choose "Repair" or Choose "Disconnect" then you re-"Connect"
5. Try watching the youtube video courtesy of John3. Maybe it'll help you figure out how to set it up.
6. I had no problem setting it up on my Win 7 and Win XP without having to face any problem. Not sure why on several other
people who had tried it on Win 7 are facing problems such as yours.

* The WinPcap is just to help "mimic" a WIFI connection to "fool" the Nintento WFC, so that you can go online using the
DeSmuMe. Some people in the net had mentioned about being able to go online using DeSmuMe without WinPcap, but I've
not tried it.

Ok um... well I got it working and all.
To the 52000 error that i got, i think mainly it was due to my firewall, so i shut it all down.
and for the 24010 or whatever error code, i just downloaded the file and also run the game everytime as admin ... umm.
Well, i am not running on the custom firmware like mentioned, because it always had problems saving.
But i think I have another problem now, well, everytime that i start the Desmume on a new, and try to log on GTS or dream world, it says that my WFC id has changed, and i get a new friend code and all, i can never get into dream world because of this... hmm..

Do you also have that problem?? or maybe not because your custom firmware can be saved?? I am running on the firmware edited in the DESMUME, it works, but it seems to "change" system everytime it is started.
oh and yea, when I Load the game it says something about "COMMAND9: Unverified Backup Memory: 08 from 02180960" something like that.. do you get that too?

jamian · « **Reply #205 on:** Sunday July 10, 2011, 10:15:54 PM »

i took your advice and downloaded the X64 bit emulator and changed all of the settings and now i get this error:

Error Code: 52100

Unable to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Confirm connection settings and access point settings.

Zemious · « **Reply #206 on:** Monday July 11, 2011, 02:42:46 AM »

I've used both versions of the emulator, 32-bit and 64-bit. I have my firewall disabled as well when I try to get on Wi-Fi.
I've tried both versions of the dfc files, but to no avail. I am obviously using an ethernet port and not wireless, I've been on WiFi with this PC using the same version of the emulator as last time before I reinstalled Windows 7.

ryanfsf · « **Reply #207 on:** Monday July 11, 2011, 01:28:53 PM »

firstly thanks for ur advice. yes i use 7 32bit.
but im already do all that stuffs
and fyi, in my cmd screen (or whatever that comes up with desmume) says 'firmware: save config-failed' .
its weird since in my 0.9.6 that text not appear .
and in the first screen (that has calendar, pic to chat, like in real nds) , mine seems like already has a name 'Setya'. different from tutorial that has no name.
sorry, my english sucks.
can u upload your desmume files, maybe this will helps us

Masih89 · « **Reply #208 on:** Monday July 11, 2011, 01:45:04 PM »

ALRIGHT GUYS!
Huge Breakthrough here! (for me !)

For all those people That get Reset Friend Codes and similar status values, such as Incorrect WFC ID On a restart of the emu : Firmware is randomized if using the internal Firmware, using a successful external Firmware (saving that is) will keep the same "profile" even if you turn off the emulator or computer.

For all those people That can't save Custom Firmware Settings due to Config Save : Failed , Even having run as Admin : I believe this is a Windows 7 issue for some people, I'm not sure why it happens... well I reformatted PC yesterday Win 7 Clean, same error...

... BUT, I also installed Windows XP before the clean Windows 7, And as I had tested on my brothers computer which had XP and it worked PERFECTLY, I expected the coming results : PERFECT.

For all those with 20140, 52000, 52100, 52200 errors Just do the following, it just can't be said enough times :
Disable all firewalls.
Install WinPCap as Admin
Download Slytherx's version of the emulator (or whatever his awesome name was)
Get the firmware.dfc file from John3
Get the BIOS files and a firmware file.
Setup wifi to the Infrastructure ethernet interface in emulators wifi settings.
Set up your custom firmware as the tutorial says (if your config fails to save even running as Admin on Win 7, then do as i did, get Windows XP (a REAL HASSLE though~)) and close the emulator.
Make sure to Run WinPCap executable (rpcapd.exe) as ADMIN before starting the emulator. (well I'm not sure how it works (?) BUT IT has worked for me <,<)

I (as I said multible times, and so has others) have done all of these settings.
1. I've disabled my firewall, I even tried adding an exception to the emulator. I also tried adding an exception with my Virus scanner just in case.
2. We all have installed it via Admin on Windows 7. I can only assume so if nothing else worked, we'd try this too. It still didn't do anything, still get 20104.
3. I've tried like 4 versions of it, I'm sure I have his.
4. Downloaded and didn't help, at least it didn't help this situation (20104).
5. Obviously we all have the bios and firmware files...
6. We also have obviously done this. We'd of done this if we followed the tutorial.
7. Not installing XP. Period.
8. Didn't do anything, still get 20104.

If I came off seeming frustrated or saracastic, sorry. Everyone seems to be able to play online with DesMuMe and a select few of us can't for no apparent reason. I've tried everything I can think of, watched tutorials on YouTube, done countless Google searched but to no avail. I was able to play Pokemon Black/White on WiFi before I reinstalled, now I can't.

Masih89 · « **Reply #210 on:** Monday July 11, 2011, 10:07:59 PM »

hehe yea i know what ur talking about, I was the same as you, try disabling the custom firmware and run with the built in, its the only way it worked for me on win7, and ALSO I had always tried connecting just once and that had failed, but after a youtube guide it was said to try more than once and then it did lol, but even so, the game would always remake the wfc id, Wi-Fi worked though! but not the Dream World, since thats the main reason im even playing this lol.
If you're on the built in Firmware's, try connecting more than one time, like either retest the connection or restart the emulator, I was surprised when it worked.

But anyway for me the best solution is having a custom firmware that Can Save Configs, and for me that only way was doing it in XP.

Because you can use DeSmuMe WIFI to Game Sync the Pokemon B/W to the dream world, and get to customize the C-Gear Skin for playing on the DeSmuMe. And you can even do the same method using DeSmuMe to later convert the save file for use on a console for people who don't have WIFI to connect with their console and has to resort to using DeSmuMe WIFI to perform the download-play.

Relevent or not, its your opinion against mine, but its my topic thread anyway and I can freely post whatever I feel relevent to the subject of my thread, and that post is relevent enough for me because everyone can use the DeSmuMe WIFI to download the C-Gear skin promo through Game Sync. My sole purpose is to let everyone using DeSmuMe WIFI who are playing Pokemon B/W on it know that they can get the C-Gear skin just like those using consoles as per mentioned in the steps in page 6. And this 2nd skin promotion info is merely regarding the password needed to unlock it. I also post save files of downloaded bonus contents using DeSmuMe WIFI feature as well, which many have found useful cause I see many downloaded it from my mediafire folder.

Go to Config and choose Firmware Settings, you can change Setya's detail with yours. You might also need to activate Boot Like NDS from the WIFI CONFIG, go into the part as mentioned in step 2.c.3 page 1 click on the green icon and edit the user info. Almost all DeSmuMe program bear Setya's name in it cause its his uploads. Its normal, no need to panic about it. You can leave it as it is too.

ZetaZaku · « **Reply #217 on:** Saturday July 16, 2011, 07:52:46 AM »

So I'm having this problem. I am trying to trade between a DS and Desmume. Everything work's as I entered the Wi-Fi club with both and I saw them there. So I tried requesting trade with one, and accepting with the other and then it said that it failed. And after a short while both disconnect (after 5-10min I think). Hope it's fixable.

prectorian · « **Reply #218 on:** Saturday July 16, 2011, 03:08:40 PM »

@ZetaZaku,

Emulators aren't perfect replica of the console's ability, so there's always a limit to its ability in emulating the console's features, not to mention often laden with various issues. So no, there's no fix for it at least until someone makes it perfect, as for why it kept disconnecting its really depends on how stable your internet connection is when attempting to link the console with the emulator or when going online, but it goes back again to my first remark regarding emulators.

Please help i've waited so long for this.

Here I get the connect message.

and i get the error after a log time

Hey guys, thanks for the awesome tutorial. I've been trying to get it to work for 2 days straight now, with no luck. First it was 21400 or something, then just when thought it would work it gave me a 52100. Read the whole thread; did everything that was said, so human error is basically out of the equation here.

My contract says I have a broadband, and there an ethernet cable running from the circuit box thingy outside my apartment to my wifi router, and then my PC. So basically the connection is: PC <-> wifi router <-> box.

I'm wondering: is this type of connection even viable for doing this trick? If someone confirms it, I'm willing to keep trying.

prectorian · « **Reply #222 on:** Friday July 29, 2011, 12:58:43 AM »

@bwfan : Win 7 can be fuzzy, some get it right the first go, but others as you might noticed in the post been
having problem. But after some re-tries got it working.

@dvp : meaning you're connected wireless from router to computer? As I said, has to be wired connection.
Wireless is no go.

Hotoki · « **Reply #223 on:** Friday July 29, 2011, 07:08:07 AM »

Hmm here is my issue...
Windows7, Pentium i7, wired connection.

In the x86 version I can set up my wi-fi, but it won't let me save the options.

In the x64 version I can save the options, but it won't let me set up my wi-fi.

QQ!!!!
So, I can only use the x86 to connect as it sometimes works with good luck and many many tries... but it always changes my friendscode and removes all my adress book

and, yeah... needs patience to connect <.<
Is there any chance I can get the wi-fi set up to work correctly in the x64 version?
