Homebrew Who wants Duke Nukem 3D (JFDuke?) on the DSi?

[RocketRobz]

From the TwilightMenu++ menu if I press Y on the duke3d.nds icon to change settings the menu soft-resets for some reason: It can not read the file.

Does this happen if the icon is missing (or just shown as "?")? If so, then you need to update TWiLight Menu++, as the bug got fixed some versions ago.

The version of TWL is recent, I think it is one of the latest (left photo). The game icon is as pictured on the right; if I press Y it opens the white window for a second and then your software resets.

v24.6.0 is not the latest version, so you need to update.

Performancewise it is very bad. It is definitely not getting even 20 FPS. I wonder why it performs so bad.

If I am not mistaken, you are also a developer (not its, of course), or not? ....you should tell us why, by taking a look at it.

Anyway It would not be so bad if at least the full sound effects worked at the same time. But elhobbs will surely remedy this defect and he will make it more playable.

P.S. And congratulations on your release, although RTS games are not my thing.

In the meantime, I verified several freezes in all three episodes, which was also happening in the past from flashcart: my feeling is that, even though it starts from the SD slot of the DSi, it does not take advantage of the increased RAM available.
But all in all, the performance in terms of graphical fluidity doesn't seem so bad to me.

Also I would suggest lowering the brightness by 2 points as a default: as it is set now it is too high.

I will look forward to new updates...

I think you may be referring to the gamma, I raised it from I think it was 63 to 75:

 

[godreborn]

nm, I just read the github. the config file isn't part of the nds game. you need to copy them to a certain location, so mess around with the gamma if you think it's too bright.

Nah, I was really referring to the brightness, that is set to maximum in the game menu. Lowering it by 2 or 3 positions in the options menu turns out perfect, only the change is not saved permanently.

I think I found it, but what is maximum in the menu?

Who knows.... All I know is that the slider is completely to the right and goes no further.
Now I am away from home, without a DSi....

I just changed the value at the bottom with setbrightness from 2 to 0, no idea what it does:

 

[godreborn]

nm, just tested it. it doesn't work, no idea why. I just did make for the cmd.

I tried compiling from that source code from 2011, but I don't know what version was used for devkitARM.

In any case, our @elhobbs is working to improve it: as it is now, without sound and with numerous freezes, no one would use it. Thank you anyway for your interest.

 

[godreborn]

it's frustrating that mine doesn't work. not sure if I'm not understanding the instructions or what is happening, but there were no errors while compiling. ? dunno.

I still have the .cfg file downloaded yesterday on my phone. In fact there is only the line "gamma=63". Maybe by setting it to 60 the screen should darken a bit, or am I wrong?

Edit: What is called brightness in the game menu is actually gamma, I think.

I found the solution guys : wear sunglasses

I am not worthy enough to wear sunglasses when playing Duke Nukem 3D

This change did save permanently for me when I exited the game using the in game menu. I am using memory pit to launch. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I use Flipnote, as you already know. I also tried Memory Pit but it only gives me 2 blank screens.
I am away from home now and cannot verify It.
As things are now, this is the least important thing anyway.
