Control Winamp with your DS

by David Hinkle { Aug 15th 2006 at 9:30AM }

The DS is a wonderful machine, capable of interacting with a PC in imaginative ways. Now, the clever homebrew community, has come up with a way for the DS to control Winamp. Should any of you DIY-ers out there wish to film yourself giving this a go, send us a link and like Doc Holliday, we'll make you famous.

Now how about someone coming up with a way to stream music or video from Winamp onto the DS?

Might've been possible...Had the DS browser included sound (it doesn't right?).

it has its own sounds...

I meant, sounds from the online browser, not sounds from the GUI. All you need to stream audio from your computer is an RSS feed (Another thing I don't know if the DS browser supports).

BILLY THE KID! Billy the Kid will make you famous, not Doc Holliday...

As the matter of fact, the feature you're 'requesting' has already been made, long before this: http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9648

And one of the most professionally made DS homebrew is DSOrganize - it even supports streaming audio!: http://www.dragonminded.com

Totally awesome.
That homebrew works perfectly. Very useful to decrease the volume when you're AFK.

God, windows needs to die.

Does this also work on a DS Lite?
