Remote Desktop through Nintendo DS

Something really interesting that I stumbled across a few days ago, thought you guys might enjoy it.

*DS2Win Fusion

Easy to set up, fun to play with.

The Readme was easy to follow and worked flawlessly over here.

Of course there are bugs within it, and unfortunately I don't think the lag can be helped due to restrictions on the DS wifi capabilities.

DS2Win Fusion v0.81c - March 26, 2008

-----------------------------------------

DS2Win Fusion is a program designed to allow you to do ALL the things you could do with your PC, harnessing the

wireless capabilities and touch screen for maximum usability. Play movies, games and browse the net, check emails,

the sky is the limit! All you need is a windows PC and a wireless router or card.

This is an customized build of the Win2DS client and server, both the client and server have been enhanced

to provide new features, higher speed and service quality.

Note: This release will probably need to be DLDI patched before using (unless you have a R4DS like me and its done automatically)

Changelog:

server - zoom levels now gradually increase by 0.125 between 1x-2x

client - change zoom level without swapping screen by holding L before you hold R and use ABXY

client - dual screen zoom mode now available!
