C# C sharp D2XX ftdi wrappers

This sounds pretty interesting, FTDI have released .NET wrappers for their chips.

what this means, is making .NET C# apps for USB Gecko should be a breeze.

When i got a little time, I will make a .NET API I think this should get some more coders interested due to the simple GUI building and construction of .NET apps.

This is good news.  I love C#

Just starting learning C# now but already prefer it to C++

I only coincidentally starting learning C# the other day. Much easier to use than C++ (I'm learning it to use the XNA framework to make small games for the new Xbox Live Community Games system).


I have always wondered if USBGecko could be used to add internet multiplayer to simple games. It might work like an emulator, where it halts the game, sends input across the net, gets input back, advances a frame, etc.

I think this would probably only work with very simple games that don't have a lot of randomness. A good game to test this on I think would be Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. Of course, getting games like Mario Party 8 to work over the net would probably cause the popularity of USBGecko to sky rocket.

EDIT - Now that I think about it, how do most wii games generate random numbers? If they only use input timings and the system clock, this might actually be possible. If the system clock was frozen, then only the input would have to be tracked between games.

cool stuff, XNA game studio seems pretty neat. Its a shame Wii Ware didn't go the same route as Microsoft did with XNA
