Homebrew gbaemu4ds: GBA emulator for DS(i) (DSi Entry)

[Snappo]

I errored when trying to compile. Is there a specific version of libnds/devkitARM I should be using to compile this?

I'm using the latest build. It worked fine (although it took a while) for me.

On a DSi, or DS Lite? SifJar was trying it on a DS Lite so I'm wondering too.

One word: awesome.

He's talking about the compiling.

Who was the guy that claimed a GBA emulator is not possible for DS in the first place?

Lots of people say that here

That's generally in response to playing retail games at anything resembling a playable speed.
This only plays homebrew, only up to 2MB, and plays at 1-2FPS.

Will a trimmed gba rom work?with a ds lite?
I know of a gba karate game about 1 mb in size.

I probably don't have the latest builds...AFAIK, the latest libfat doesn't like my flash card so I never upgraded any of the other stuff either. I'll maybe try doing that.

BTW, at the OP: Is there any reason you haven't posted a .NDS binary? Or any objection you have to someone else doing so?

it is because i use nitroFS because i don't have a flashcard

so you have to inject the gba in the nds. I do that by recompile it and change the gba.gba file in nitrofiles

ADD: i managed to get the speed to 1/10 in most games in my emulator by using some hw instead of software but the sprite are no more working update as soon as the bug is fixed (it is still to slow)

Interesting. When I read the OP i thought someone was bullshitting and that this was just a joke some people were going along with.
I'd love to test this (though i don't have any GBA homebrew to test with will have to try and find some) but remember compiler hell when I once tried getting them setup so will have to wait for a possible browser version.

Edit: Argh, now I remember why I hate compilers I can never get them to work. I open the makefile and tell it to "make" in programmer's notepad. It says ""make": *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

Shit just got real...

Incredible! Maybe DSi's extra ram can load roms when it's supported, huh?

It uses NitroFS? Didn't realise that. I didn't put a ROM in the folder, could that be the reason for my errors?

great work brother. It seems to be holding well at the moment. If u make it in time, u may get top prize for best homebrew on gbatemp.

 

[loco365]

I'm still boggled, even after reading it, as to how to compile it. :/ I'd really love to try this. Is it dragged over makefile?

 

[WiiUBricker]

Awesome work. I have injected Arkanoid in the emulator and it works. Still slow, but it works.
I have uploaded my compiled binary for those that couldnt compile it themselfes. If this is not allowed or not appreciated, please tell me and I will remove the link immediately: http://uploading.com/files/9c2aaa59/gbaemu2.nds

Good luck for the bounty

to fix the color problem, the following values should be changed in the main.cpp -

systemRedShift = 0;
systemGreenShift = 6;
systemBlueShift = 11;

Should be

systemRedShift = 0;
systemGreenShift = 5;
systemBlueShift = 10;

very interesting.... good work here.
cant wait to see where this project ends up

 

[jamespoo]

just used this to play pokemon on the orginal ds and it works but sometimes it dose freeze for half a sec every 20sec or so

was that a COMMERCIAL pokemon game? and what was the rom size?

The creator claimed it only played homebrew under 2mb.

Wait does it like work on a flashcart?
