No$gba 2.7d Changelog: 10 Nov 2014
Code:
Just uploaded no$gba version 2.7d, http://problemkaputt.de/gba.htm
The main news is: non-functional DSi support.
Yeah, that doesn't sound too great, but one must start somewhere.
The supported DSi features are: Bigger main memory, additional WRAM mapping, handlingof new bios swi functions, preparations for handling the various new DSi I/O ports, interpreting DSi cartridge headers, and more info about DSi hardware/software. Ie. a lot of important basic stuff for DSi emulation.
At the moment it's barely allowing to view DSi cartridges in the debugger - trying to run DSi games in the emulator doesn't really work yet (it might run for a few microseconds before hitting some unsupported I/O port).
If somebody wants to give it a try: Change the "NDS Mode" option to "DSi/retail" to enable DSi emulation (it's disabled by default; that allows to DSi enhanced games in NDS mode, rather then running them in still incompletly supported DSi mode).
And then, load a DSi cartridge... which might be problematic. Tools for dumping NDS cartridges are typically unable to dump DSi specific areas of the cartridges. There are a few homebrew DSi programs, but they don't appear to contain anything close to a valid DSi cart header, so no$gba won't even recognize them as DSi programs (minimum requirement for a DSi cartridge would be the DSi flag in cartheader[012h].bit1 being set).
