🎀 DSMIDIWiFi — DSMI over WLAN server 🎀

Okay bestie, this is the DSMIDIWIFI(1) page from the General Commands Manual 💖 It's all about DSMIDIWiFi, the server side of a DSMI (Nintendo® DS MIDI) over WLAN setup. Let's get into it 🧚

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DSMIDIWiFi note

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so DSMIDIWiFi is a Qt app, and it's the server side of a DSMI (Nintendo® DS MIDI) over WLAN session 🎮 The vibe is: you start it up, and it sets up the connections between UDP and ALSA MIDI for you. Then it just shows a GUI window with a logo and... that's it, no buttons, no interactivity 💀 Closing the window terminates the server, so don't close it mid-session unless you mean it 🫶

DSMIDIWiFi uses the UDP ports 9000 and 9001 for broadcast communication with a Nintendo® DS or another device / app that speaks the DSMI interface 📡 If it can't bind those ports, or ALSA MIDI won't initialise, you'll get an error dialogue popping up, and the program should be terminated. No cap, that's a hard stop 😭

The mandatory argument note tells it which MIDI note A4 (440 Hz) should be mapped to 🎹 The standard says it should be note 69, but some apps are octave-confused 🙈 So you might need 57 (Piano For You on Android) or 81 (TouchDAW ibidem), or even weirder values. Not me being dramatic, it's literally how it is 💅
