DS wi-fi and Apple Mac can be friends too

The iPod craze is still at large and we have seen the Apple logo spread to some pretty unusual places. If you are one of the brave souls who tore yourself away from your PC and ventured into the world of Mac, but still want to play your pals in some online MP:H or Mario Kart, PocketGamer can help.

They have posted an easy to follow process in six simple steps that will help you plug back into gaming. This way, you won't have to hide your embarrassed face after finding out your Nintendo wi-fi connector doesn't work with OSX.

[Thanks HAZ!]

well you could do that - or you could just do the scan thing and then go to your airport admin utility and click on 'password' and then stick in the 13 digit HEX code. seems a bit easier to me.

My wifi has always worked with the DS, and I only use Macs... screw the Nintendo dongle and its lack of mac support, even though they rip off Apple design with the DS lite

Bit of old news, mate?

You don't even need to use the built-in Apple card (if you have one), you just need a router that supports the DS's slow transmission speed in Wifi B mode.
