Beup Live v0.3e is a Windows Live Messenger (Formaly MSN messenger) clone. At this moment it does not work, there is a problem with connecting to the MSN server due to the change in the IP address used to connect.

[edit] Basic Usage

[edit] Common Problems and Known Issues

  • Can't find how to enter Access Point SSID

Tap on the word SSID to display all the Access Point SSIDs available to you.

  • Stuck at "Acquiring host info from DHCP"

Many Homebrew Wifi apps can't connect to Access Points using DHCP. The work around is to use a fixed IP address. For more details see Common Homebrew Wifi Problems.

  • Can't connect to Access Point with hidden SSID

This is a known issue with many Homebrew Wifi apps. Only fix is to unhide the SSID. See Common Homebrew Wifi Problems for more details.

  • SSL failed message

Sometimes Beup fails with the above error. It will try to reconnect automatically and normally success the second time.

  • Avatars are not downloaded

Beup will refuse to open downloaded avatars if their size isn't 96x96 (the standard).

  • Ink messages not received

Beup will refuse to open inks if they are wider than 256 px (can't present those).

  • Avatar downloads may fail

The official MSN client will refuse to send avatars if the last one was sent less than 5 minutes ago. That means that if you chat with somebody, disconnect, and then open the tab, avatar download may fail. (wait a few minutes, then try again).

  • Stuck at Handshake

The MSN dispatch servers changed last year, make sure you are using the files downloaded from the main website not any of the mirrors holding 'fixed' versions. Alternatively try rebooting your Access Point/router.

[edit] Additional Information

Double tap the default avatar in Beup to select a new one for yourself.

When you run Beup Live for the first time it will create a file called 'beup-user' in the root of your DS-X. This file, which can be opened in notepad, stores all your personal settings including your password in an encrypted form.

Example of a beup-user file 

version "3"

username "youremail@address.com"
password "pgrubuddppflsogxdbkhfglnvgrwimdsdgkzfmkkxzxhbwxhlebiwhgubiexgmbellhxcnynzvygvyybkgeunvfkmucuplymx"
topaa "1"
autologin "0"
