24/09/06 - ScummVM DS v0.9.1beta1 Released for Testing

Using it should be the same as with version 0.61, except the build you need to use for your game may have changed.

Please let me know of any bugs you find, and whether it runs on your card reader, by posting in the forum. The driver has been updated for M3 and SD devices, so the compatibility may have improved, there is also now NinjaSD support. Max Media Dock support is being worked on and will probably appear in the next beta. There is no G6 support.

* Added a 200% scale option for the zoomed view
* Change zoom range for the zoomed view so you can zoom right out

When will there be G6 support?

When will there be G6 support?

You should ask that the G6/M3-Team, cause they don't give the developers the nessecary drivers.

Bwahahahahaaaaaa, it is times like this that make me glad I have a GBAMP

Everibody supports GBAMP

Beneath a Steel Sky, here I come

 

[SpaceJump]

Bwahahahahaaaaaa, it is times like this that make me glad I have a GBAMPÂ

Everibody supports GBAMPÂ

Or any other CF based device (SC CF, M3 CF)

That's why I'm ordering an M3 CF

(That, and the fact that I have 2.5 gigs worth of CF cards. Shame to let them go to waste.)

 

[Vater Unser]

is there any way to make this save on a Supercard?

 

[bakhalishta]

Just for clarification : By "not working on G6" do you mean it doesn't save ? Because it works on my G6 lite, it just doesn't save...

 

[skywarp]

I've never played Monkey Island, maybe I'll give it a go on this.

What? Go and play it, NOW

 

[oleole]

yeah bakhalishta i confirm dott works but won't save on G6 (lite).

I've tried to get this working on my G6 Lite with 3 games already. None of them work. Can anyone tell me which game/version is reportedly working?

 

[SpaceJump]

Which games did you try? Did you use the ZIP-method?

 

[nunofgs]

I tried Zak McKracken, Monkey Island I and Monkey Island II.
I used the ZIP method as I am unaware of any other method. I initially also tried to just run the scummvm.nds file but it crashes to a white-screen just after showing me the key settings.

Have you followed the "How to Get ScummVM DS Onto Your DS - With a GBA Flash Cart or an unsupported card reader device" on the Official Site? Remember to rename your resulting file to .nds.

I bet he hasn't but anyway it's useless to try the games since savegame won't work...

 

[SpaceJump]

There's a new test build for M3 carts which has the DSOrganize code implemented for flashcart access and it seems to work and save fine. Link.

spacejump, do you just copy the files (mine is about 189 megs) in a folder and the scummvd.nds in the root or do i zip all the files into a directory and the .nds on the root? the forum answers my question about saving...thanks!!!!!

It depends on the device you are using.

Basically it's like this:
- Direct copy your Scumm games on your flashcart with: GBAMP, SC and M3 CF, M3 and SC (Mini)SD, MMD
- ZIP-method: GBA-Flascarts, G6, EZ4

Btw, beta4 is out with a working M3 driver
