== Tetris DS Nintendo Wifi Connection ==

This is primarily a technical document describing the servers that the Nintendo DS connects to to perform Nintendo Wifi. It would appear that at login, [[Tetris DS]] reports what it believes to be its rank to Nintendo. This also occurs every time you switch opponents. This process is done via a handshake between the DS and Gamespy. This is also what allows the wonderful device known as action replay to be so nasty to the highscore board.

== Servers ==

=== Web Servers ===
These servers are used to display the score board: (nintendowifi.com)

* 192.195.204.176

This is the server to which the DS connects in order to initiate its connection (conntest.nintendowifi.net)

Not entirely sure why the DS makes a connection to these yet (nas.nintendowifi.net)

Metroid and Tetris seem to do this differently, hence this documentation. Metroid makes a connecton to port 29920, whereas Tetris seems to prefer to use HTTP (port 80). More details to come.
