NDSMail WIP Update

Back in July, Bronto released version v0.47 of his popular hombrew app that lets you send and receive mail using your Nintendo DS. What’s great about that version is that it supports Gmail – a feature that has been on top of NDSMail fans’ wishlist since the app’s release.

Since the last release, Bronto hasn’t been able to work on the app, but he’s aware that users are having some problems with mini-SD flash cards. He thinks that the version of the fat lib he’s using is what’s causing the problem. He’s also considering an “auto-connect” feature for the app, as proposed by one of his friends. What the app will do is connect to any open access points in range, if none of the preferred access points is found. If this feature does get into the NDSMail, you will then be able to find an open non-protected access point. Though this is a great feature, it may be illegal to some countries. 

Users of the app have also been reporting random crashes, which are caused by the keep-alive ping to the access point. Bronto hopes to release a new version within the next few days with keep-alive as an option and using the newest version of the dswifi library.
