Does iHD Simulator support the Network API?

  • Maria Welborn

    Great to hear Peter.

    Will the release version of the iHD tools be free as they are now


  • Mark Pitman

    Actually, I believe the latest version of HDiSim does support the network APIs. Although, the implementation might not be complete.


  • Justin Patterson

    I think the current simulator's support is patchy at best.

    I'm afraid I don't have any news to report re: release dates of newer versions, but I have been working on networking code for a week or so now so by the time it ships I should have a pretty comprehensive set of content for my blog.

    Current plan is for the HD DVD interactivity jumpstart simulator to be free.

  • AndrewBadera

    No. iHDSim does not support the networking APIs.

  • cgraus

    Does the latest version support networking I've been trying different bits of code and have not been able to get it working in the HDi simulator.


  • sawer

    Will there be support in the future
