LED control from Mame--in over my head again?
headkaze:
The DS should be able to download the image using DS Wifi (which is included in devkitArm). There is an app to display jpg images on my website in the DS section.
What you could do is upload two images Eg. Image1.jpg, Image2.jpg and swap between them If you used a perl cgi script you should be able to attempt to lock the file before displaying, and if that fails display the other. Flash would be even better as you wouldn't need to refresh the whole page.
For a web server IIS is the native web server for Windows although not sure if all versions of Winows 7 would include it (XP Pro had it but XP Home didn't for example). You can always try the most popular web server Apache. I believe you get perl/cgi support as standard.

Well, that would mean I have to write an app for the ds though, which I'm not willing to do. Html, only solution is best because it'll work on any portable.
I don't know if perl is supported on the various ds browsers out there. I think you can lock the file in javascript, or at least determine if it's corrupted or not, but again, my web-design skills suck.
IIS and apache aren't simple..... I want simple. As in run an app and boom that folder is a webpage, no settings, no installation, no frills. I downloaded one similar to this last night but it had win 7 issues.
Thanks for the help though.

A browser doesn't need to support perl, the server executes it and displays html.
Apache is pretty much install and go.. IIS is more complicated to setup (suprise suprise). Not sure about a web server with no installation but I'm sure there are apps that can serve a simple picture to port 80. Perhaps something like Resin
Howard_Casto:
I'm not going to worry about it. I've added functions to mh to both output the current image and output the current states to a text file. That should be enough for somebody else to design a webpage we can all use. I have to add the new gdi classes to the digit generator and then this puppy is ready for release. Then barring udp support for daphne this will probably be the final version. Of course the display files need updated and such, but that's not related to the app itself.
1UP:
Howard, will it be possible to have it write two images each time, if I wanted to try the route I described above?
