DS Game/App with voice chat

Mudry · May 16, 2008

Hi,

My kids are going on a long car journey with some other memebers of the family in a couple of cars. Does anyone know of a game or homebrew app that will let them voice chat ds to ds over a direct wifi link.

I know they can use the pico chat to type and draw pictures for each other but i just thought being able to chat will be more fun.

The only games that I know of that allow voice chat are Pokemon D/P or Animal Crossing but both of those don't use the direct link for the voice chat, they use the internet for connection.. .. .. ..

I have this bookmarked:

but can't comment on whether that would fit the bill as I've not used it I'm afraid.

This guy does make good homebrew apps though [I really like his Image Viewer] so should be worth a look.

You might get more help/info on one of the internet Forums that specialise in DS homebrew, such as GBAtemp.

Not directly OT but Bomberman has 1 card download play for up to 8 players and has 'voice-activated' bombs which is great fun. Although in a car this may be slightly chaotic as the close range of other players in the same car may set off each others bombs.

I've tried car to car wifi and it's nearly impossible unless you are very close to each other (say in a traffic jam for example).

Also another solution may just be to buy a set of cheap walkie talkies and then everyone can just play mariocart or something else popular.
