[Tutorial] Multi: Google Nexus One + Nintendo DS = Nintendo WiFi Connection!

I got my Nexus One today, and turned on the WiFi HotSpot feature, resulting me to have Nintendo WiFi Connection.
It’s even very fast, for a smartphone.
It’s a Nexus One and DS are a really good combo, although you’re not allowed to use WPA2 (no WEP), because it won’t work on the DS.

At the Google side
1. Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless and network settings > Tethering and portable Hotspot. (Note, I have a Dutch Nexus One, so it’ll differ in your language.
2. Select “Portable WiFi Hotspot” and tap “Settings for portable WiFi Hotspot”.
3. Select “Portable WiFi Hotspot” (again) and tap “Configure WiFi Hotspot”
4. Give it a name you like, and choose “Open” (important, because the DS (Lite) doesn’t understand WPA2).

At the Nintendo side
5. Access a random WiFi enabled game and go to the WiFi Settings.
6. Go to WiFi Settings > One of the three spaces > Access Point.
7. Now select our Portable WiFi Hotspot, and press A.
8. Now go play through the internet, wherever you like.

Note: This connection was made using 3G, on Vodafone NL’s network, with a PrePaid thing + Endless Internet.
Speed differs from provider to provider, from phone to phone, and maybe WiFi could be faster.

    What in the world are you using to play Pokemon? If it’s an emulator, please tell me how it’s accessing the wireless card! (And the emulator of choice)

    I know this is a duplicate comment, but I accidentally made a typo while entering my email and only noticed after I pressed ‘Submit’.

    yhnitro.netI used YH-NITRO-CAPTURE to capture it.
    No Emulators are used.

    “Note: This connection was made using 3G, on Vodafone NL’s network, with a PrePaid thing + Endless Internet.”

    Can you do the same with a wifi connected cell (not 3G)?

    No, it’ll go back to 3G, as soon as you start the HotSpot.
