Well ... yes. I was answering the question if there was a way to make the text readable.. and I answered, based on the potential of the DS(i)
I would really like to understand how to make the textures be compressed.. but how?? :")
I have a pretty decent idea on how to do this, though you would have to edit the textures in the rom itself, considering I don't think the repo actually has the textures inside of the decomp
One thing that would fascinate me would be to see him run on a Nintendo Ds (no DS(i)), but that would require hard work. But probably by removing some assets, or by compressing them, maybe we will get something. But unfortunately I'm not an expert programmer
.
If my understanding is correct, SM64DSi uses 12MB of the 16MB RAM. Those 12MB is used for storing the ROM, and the other 4MB is used for normal operations (the N64 has 4MB of RAM). I'm not sure if it uses all of that, but if you were to shrink the game down to fit into 4MB of memory, you would probably still need some for said normal operations (and therefore needing an expansion pak or smth)
The Nintendo DS(i) have 16 MB of ram, compared to the Nintendo DS with only 4MB
I thought of one thing.. if we could remove the Textures/Audio, which maybe occupy most of the space in the ROM.
Better idea, why not just replace everything with the DS varient'sThe Nintendo DS(i) have 16 MB of ram, compared to the Nintendo DS with only 4MB

. I don't know if you can give me some advice, as you know something more about this structure than I do
VRAM is not an issue, the original DS has the exact same VRAM as the DSi (except that 8- and 32-bit writes work on DSi, which doesn't affect this at all). Graphics were barely touched at all on the DSi, it's main RAM (WRAM) that's an issue since the DS has a quarter as much as the DSi.Hey @Hydr8gon, these days I was working on SM64 DS(i) port, peeking a bit in the source code. In several lines, in "src/nds" in these files, you specified something about reading Textures with VRAM, I thought: --"If the game doesn't run on Nintendo DS RAM, then let's lighten the VRAM"-- . In fact, I cut the codes in which you specified the loading of TEXTURES with VRAM, but still today it doesn't run on the Original Nintendo DS
There is no indicator that this does what you said.
I don't know if TwilightMenu can do this by itself, but there is a bootstrap that uses one screen through tw. I don't think this will work on a dsi though. The Sm64 port will run through TwilightMenu, even on the 3ds
yes, there is an sm64 port for the regular ds, an official port, but this one allows for mods like 60fps or puppycam iirc. I think puppycam is total control over the camera.
