SNEmulDS 0.6 alpha now available

[archeide]

The preview-alpha version of SNEmulDS 0.6 is now available for all the brave testers around the world!

The GUI artworks are not ready, so you have a "naked" and not very pretty GUI, but at least, you have the multi languages support! So you can check if your language is correct.
Here is the list of available languages : Japanese (Katakana only), English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Catalan, Polish, Dutch, Danish (those last five are made available by editing the snemul.cfg file).

Various External RAM packages can be used to improve large rom emulation : Supercard (32MB), M3 (32MB), Opera (8MB), EZ3/4/3-in-1 (8-16MB), G6 (32MB).
There may be some problems with the external RAM library when lanching snemulds from slot2. Please tell me.

Scaling support has three modes :
- Full screen : nearly like snezzids
- Half scaling : "smart" scaling, only reduce half the backgrounds, and doesn't squish sprites. It looks quite fine in games.
- No scaling : no scaling at all, classic SNEmulDS mode, still default

Here is the complete list of changes compated to 0.5 beta:

- New GUI using framebuffer for sub screen
- Better human interface, improved file selector (alphabetical sorted), buttons, check boxes, multi choose zones, etc.
- New GUI supports joypad (joypad is not supported when emulator is running however).
- Multi language support (more than 10 supported, including katakan japanese !)
- Memory pak support (Opera RAM, Slot 2 card reader, etc. using libram) with paging or with large ROM mapping
- Scaling with pseudo bi-linear filtering and sprites squishing : full screen scaling (like snezzids), half scaling (half scaled and without sprites squishing), and no scaling (classic snemulds mode)
- Autiomatic SRAM saving when needed
- Some other bugfixes and improvements in GUI

How are the DKC games on this? Also do the mario games from Mario all stars run fine? I'd love to play the SNES remake of the first SMB on my DS.

 

[square]

I am getting a White Screen on Chrono Trigger and Cannon Fodder, suggestions?

Music is working, and save states are loading but with still white screen

Edit-Almost forgot, using an R4 with opera rom expansion

 

[lenselijer]

dkc works but not with the 3-in-1 expansion

dkc works but not with the 3-in-1 expansion

Yes it does, just tried it.

To the dev; any chance of fixing the save state freezing every now and then on certain games (e.g. DKC)?

Its still some problem whive it ex. super metroid works good but when you paus you got a black screen and when you resum from paus ist normal again. FF5 works but not so good. you cant see meny and battle options.

but all mario games and zelda: a link to past works fine

 

[Citronat]

Did anybody know does Kirby Superstars works?
I must play it, because i love this game and i want to play it on the ds.

 

[square]

All Stars works, so do Megaman X's,

No go on Front Mission or Ogre Battle though

 

[Citronat]

I have a secod question is Kirbys Dreamland 3 working also?

 

[square]

Kirby 3 is not working, nor is SD3, Romancing Saga 3, or mario RPG.

I got metroid and mario Kart to work

 

[Neoaka]

dkc works but not with the 3-in-1 expansion

Yes it does, just tried it.

Are you sure about that? Did you have the 3-in-1 expansion pack slot-in by any chance? I just did a test on DKC 1, 2 and 3 with the 3-in-1 and it just freezes after loading the game. But without it, the game boots and runs fine.

 

[yooeee]

i'm also getting the white screen on chrono trigger with the 3in1. megaman x looks like it's working fine. haven't played enough to check layer issues

 

[square]

Metroid has some background layer issues in some screens, so far in the first ridley fight is the most noticable

 

[square]

Chrono loads without an expansion plugged in!

Edit-Sorry Double Post

Yeah, I am sure. My 3-in-1 never leaves my DSL (no need, see). Says it's using External RAM on loading (the game - DKC).
