Homebrew [REQUEST] Updating PicodriveDS to lastest DKP in order to work with dsiwarehax.

[Billy Acuña]

Since now hacking a Nintendo DSi is a thing I was wondering that if is possible to pick up and update PicodriveDS to lastest DKP, something like @Apache Thunder did with iis NesDS TWL Edition (which works perfectly on DSi, thanks dude).

Source Code: http://www.cryptosystem.org/projects/nds/picodriveds-0.1.7/picodriveds_0.1.7.tar.gz

nesDS TWL Edition doesn't save configurations. Not quite perfect.

It does on my end.

Weird. Wonder what the problem could be then. Can you confirm that button swap (Y/B to B/A) saves?

I does but sometimes it crashes but it indeed saves nesDS.ini

Last offtopic thing, is your sd card formatted to FAT32 or FAT16?

It's unable to compile.

Yeah, the touch screen and sound code are broken since the source code is outdated, pretty much everything in the code is broken.

 

[Deleted User]

Is it beyond repair?

Why not running JenesisDS from SD using HBMenu vía sudokuhax in the DSi ? So far i cant make it find roms so it stops at the "searching" screen

I don´t own an dsi unfortunatly. As far as i know the last released Version of JenesisDS freezes /won´t continue in the Menu Screen.

This is really off topic but I think Genesis on 3DS is way much better? for the resolution?

DS(i) is great for GB emulation though, for bigger pixel and smaller border in integer scale mode.

Yeah. Bubble2k16 is looking into the possibility of porting an genesis emulator to the 3ds.

Fixed the touchscreen code (I think), but I'm pretty clueless on how to change over the old IPC code to use the message queues. I'm digging through the documentation, if anyone wants to take a whack at it in the meantime...

I did a quick test with Sonic 1 with the TWloader on my 2DS on Firmware 11.5.
The Emulator only recognizes Genesis games when they are in bin format. No Audio for now. The Game ran decent.

Edit: I have tested all Versions of Super Street Fighter 2- The New Challengers. It seems the emulator won´t boot games bigger than 3 MB.

Edit 2: Press X to save or load a save state.

I actually meant RetroArch: https://buildbot.libretro.com/docs/library/genesis_plus_gx/

I found the orginal guthub repo for this & forked it to have a look at what needs updating.

Still haven't quite got it to build due to the the ancient libnds it used but I think it's mostly some register renaming & trying to remember what replaced consoleInitDefault & vramSetMainBanks from here.
