[Question] Can somewhane help me to compile this .nds homebrew game?

[elhobbs]

As a note - I did test the version that I compiled with my changes and confirmed that it works on my ds two. I did not test your compiled version.

 

[godreborn]

I'm trying it in an emulator (doesn't work on the supercard either). here's what it looks like:

 

[godreborn]

maybe you can see if I missed something. the function part appears to be correct. here's the modified version:

Can you run git diff and post the results? You may need to make clean first. Away from my computer at the moment.

 

[elhobbs]

Depending on your emulator - some don’t auto dldi patch when loading.

I'm not sure how to run git diff.

 

[godreborn]

alright, I got it installed through pacman. I figured it out:

I'm not sure how to run git diff.

Oh I assumed you ran git clone to download the repository. I am guessing you downloaded the zip archive instead. I will take a look at your zip file but it won’t be for a while.
As a note - that is the command “git diff” you just need git installed. You run it in the root of the repository.

 

[godreborn]

yeah, I just posted the outcome for you to see, in the previous post.

 

[elhobbs]

Those changes look correct to me. Are you sure you copied both the nds file and the wad to the root of your ds two?
Try a full rebuild
make clean && make
And make sure you are in the right source directory. And double check that both files made it to the dstwo.

does the rom or wad file need to be named something specific? I also got an sf2 file with the wad, using wadgen. I'm not sure if maybe the problem is both the emulator and the fact that I'm using twilight menu on the ds instead of the normal dstwo menu.

I have never used twilight menu. You should only need the nds file and DOOM64.WAD
I am not sure if twilight menu auto dldi patches or if it requires some setup/config to do so.
You could try chain loading with hb menu:
https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases/tag/v0.7.1
Launch hb menu then use that to start doom64.

 

[godreborn]

I've already started the process of copying the contents of the sd card to my laptop. then, I'm going to put the normal supercard dstwo stuff on there along with the game and wad to see if it works. then, I need to get some sleep if possible. it's about two hours past my regular time to go to sleep.

btw, does it matter if the extension WAD is in uppercase? someone said it had to be lowercase, but I don't know which is correct.

 

[godreborn]

I just tested it. it says W_GetNumForName: Loading not found when I boot the game. this is the same error as on twilight menu.

 

[godreborn]

not sure what went wrong the first time, but I just compiled the nds file again as well as generated the wad, and it worked. it's 1KB larger than the previous build, so I deleted that one. here's the new one:

I suggested hb menu as it does not require replacing/removing anything on the sd card.
The code has uppercase and fat should be case I sensitive. I use uppercase though.

 

[godreborn]

I got it working, see previous post.

 

[KirgoPlayer007]

OMG thanks everywhane for helping and sorry for not responding I posted this threads and i got to sleep.

 

[KirgoPlayer007]

I've got the nds and the wad but whit what I launch it? Twilight menu? R4? Hbmenu? Unlaunch? And how I need to place the 2 files?

I got it working, see previous post

 

[elhobbs]

It should work as long as both files are in the same directory. Some older launchers don’t support setting the current directory. So if you get an iwad not found error then try the root directory.
