Hey, I had that hairbrush.

lol

I would like someone else to try this out to see what speed they get from it. It might have been slow due to a problem my end. Waiting an hour to backup Mario 64 was just too long. 2048mbit games would take all day for me to dump using this tool.

can't connect to access point, not sure why

I think you need to make sure that the DS you use is set up to work on your wireless router for online games.
Start any wifi game and setup wifi connection. Then when you go back and try the backup tool it should connect

I had the same problem at first until i done this.

I just used this to dump a couple of small flashcards, mainly because they are tiny and quick to test. For me it starts off sending at about 35-40KB/s then drops to 4-5KB/s after a few seconds. I thought it could be something to do with windows firewall so i turned it off completely but that didn't help.

It's only v0.10 so maybe speed issues can be resolved in the future. Btw i didn't have to do anything to get it to connect, just put a user, pass in the ini and enter that same user pass in flashfxp, along with the ip the ds chooses.

EDIT: On second thoughts, the speed issues might be something to do with FlashFxp or its settings. It might be an idea to try a few different ftp clients to see if one performs better than the other.

EDIT2: Rudolph mentions in the readme: "FTPd support: because of poor command, FTP client software may not be used properly (tested with FFFTP)." So i installed FFFTP and while the connection seemed more stable the transfer rate still starts at 30 and drops to around 4-5KB/s

EDIT:3 I take that back, FFFTP keeps disconnecting on me half way through dumping. This dumper isn't usable yet imo, unless you are dumping a 64mbit ROM lol

That is the average (or a bit slow) speed of the DS wifi, isn't it? Look at this test: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=171384&view=findpost&p=2160642
That member is a noob, but the test can't be that wrong and, if I remember correctly, my result was about 56kbps (7KB/s).

it says my connection failed because me connection was refused

any idea why? im using flashFXP


i finally got it working it sends at 27-28kbs

I was able to dump New Super Mario Bros. flawlessly. Below is some basic info.



Used FFFTP, here's the transfer time:



So transfer time was 60.5min for a 32MByte cart. No clue why the speed says 0 b/s. During the transfer the speed hovered around 9.6 KB/s (Started at 30 or so.) Hope this is useful.

I know this might be a lot to ask for but can anyone tell me in detail how to properly use this. I don't really get how to use this and how it connects to your computer. I also get and error saying something like unable to identify card or something like that. Sorry for asking such a noobish question, if anyone has the time to help thank you.
