    Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

    Is the latest retroarch builds set to run at 800mhz? Or is there a setting I can use to get it?

    or they could open the hardware specs enough for us to make our own SDK, instead of keeping us in the dark about whats happening on the ARM9/ARM7 side. I bought the DSTWO because it seem it'd have strong homebrew support (from the SC team) and I am disappoint.

    While I am working on the emulator I am no longer working on it for DSTWO, at least not for now. I can only hope that sometime in the future the DSTWO SDK improves and '0.13 beta' does not remain the only thing they release. I can't really do what I wanted to do on DSTWO. The lack of network...

    I wanted to give an update since it was asked... I am no longer attempting to port Frodo, I am writing a new emulator from scratch. The new emulator is currently called "ECh64" and it is an emulation of the Chameleon 64 The bad news is that it will take longer, as I am simultaneously working...

    ok thank you. Right now I am setting up a dev system to make an attempt to port Frodo (C64 emulator) to DSTWO. I will look at the Dingoo port first to see how straightforward it is. Right now alot of my plans are shot down just because I did get in touch with king d but he didn't really give...

    It appears to me that all the initial code for ARM7/ARM9 interface is in system3.dat. I don't think anything in there is anything BUT the SDK interface code but could someone confirm for me? If that is confirmed, i'd say we should decompile it and see what it is doing, after that is...

    It MAY be possible to port AROS, but only because AROS comes in native and hosted varieties, and the hosted varieties do not assume it has direct access to hardware. As soon as I see some evidence that networking is implemented (even if it is just high level bsd socket access) I'll start work...

    this lends credence to a theory I had, that the DSTWO has no direct access to the DS/i hardware, and that for the DSTWO to do anything on the DS side, they have to shunt data into the DS all the time, meaning some kind of BIOS gets loaded onto the ARM9/7 so that they can poll the DSTWO...

    i have emailed them and so far no response.. So far the SDK is inadequate, for one thing, theres no access to the wifi yet. This is kind of a showstopper. Now to be right honest, if they are 'keeping the ARM CPUs busy' then i'd like to know 'what are they doing' and how can it be improved...

    As it is, I see no way with this SDK to boot an OS like Linux or AROS on DSTWO, I hope they will release more info..

    Well, I think it depends, if someone can make a channel on the DSi, then theres the possibility of booting the SCDS2 in DSi mode, by making a channel that boots the DSTWO. It would be in DSi mode because the DSi would already be in that mode when booting it.. But it depends on the channel...

    Also if anyone has this information: Can the SCDS2 transfer data directly to the RAM of the DS? Or does the DS need to initiate all transfers?

    Here's another question I forgot to ask. Does the SCDS2 CPU have an MMU? It makes alot of difference. If the SCDS2 has no MMU, then I will probably forget about Linux and just port DSAROS (Which will be just as useful in a world without an MMU, as its designed not to require one). The fact...

    At this point, the idea of rewriting the SDK is an option. There isn't alot there, sadly. If the DSTWO creators are willing to be fully forthcoming about how the DSTWO works, i'll work on it, i'll even open a repository so others can too. I don't actually know how to get a hold of them though ..

    I'm a coder that has done work on DSLinux in the past, and I am interested in porting a few things to SuperCard DSTWO. I've downloaded and looked over the SDK but I'm finding alot of things lacking that would prevent a full port of the OSes i'd like to port: Linux, of course (I'd probably call...
