When I load ZXDS only half the top screen works, I then press home, then resume and then its fine. Weird.

V2.0.1 has been released.

Changelog:
* Fix top screen issues of 2DS and 3DS XL models by slowing the LCD display differently. Thanks Nige.
* Disabled turning off of bottom screen backlight on 2DS as for some reason it affects both screens.
* The optional ZL and ZR buttons are now bound to quick load and quick save actions, respectively.
* Considerably increased speed of scanning directories.
* Few more subtle changes (async file flush, display speed adjustment only at normal speed).

This is great. Thank you.
With this one we are getting very close to having all the important old systems emulated now. Or perhaps we are already there?
Recently added were smoothly running emulators of Original Playstation, Commodore C64 + Amiga, Nintendo 64, and now ZX.
Great progress for an "unsupported" system!

Yes, nice job. Very nice job.
Made a cia, as this is now my favourite Speccy emulator on any platform.
I’m a stickler for tradition and load my games with a LOAD “” and use the media tape options for that nostalgic feel.

Even better for you is to do it yourself for this and any other 3dsx with this really easy to use tool.

Just extract, copy the 3dsx file into the input directory, run the Start_Converting.bat and voila the cia will be in the output folder.

Yep!

ZXDS 2.1.1 (24.12.2020)

+ Added experimental barebone .cia binary. Use entirely at your own risk.
* ZXDS now refuses to run if it can't find its installation directory to prevent incomplete installation.
* Fix for proper rollback of media in case the user truncated it afterwards.

hmm I installed the cia but nothing is popping up on my HOME menu. Even after restarting. This is the first time it's ever happened to me.

Okay, I see the problem. I think it's Title ID or ticket is clashing with another app I have. Dunno if I can change it or something to have both. I found it installed in a folder that overwritten a cia

EDIT: Okay it just overwrote some FNAF 3DS homebrew port. I don't care for that. This is a great interface. Just wish it had a 3DS banner for the Home Menu.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
