    Homebrew BlocksDS-Nix - Reproducible Nintendo DS Homebrew with Nix

    BlocksDS-Nix provides an easy-to-use, comprehensive Nix package for Nintendo DS development with BlocksDS. I recently got into using Nix/NixOS for software development, and I have really come to love it! A common side-effect of converting to Nix is that you develop an insatiable desire to port...

    It shouldn't matter if the firmware says it is for XL or not. Most of those words are just put there by these bootleg companies to get more attention. Try using YSMenu (https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/) or TWiLightMenu++...

    That's interesting. I thought that the screens turning off and the game stopping when the lid was closed would be part of the nds operating system or even hardware, and something like that would inherently happen with any software its running. Edit: Out of curiosity, are there any commercial...

    I think save states could still work. Since the hypervisor can already pause emulation, the hypervisor could have direct access to gba RAM (remember, a savestate is simply the state of the RAM put into a readable file).

    Extract the contents of the covers.zip into the _gba folder Edit: Yeah, this software has gotten many major updates recently thanks to Gericom's hard work and dedication towards the project.

    Yeah. That, and automatic linking. I'm pretty sure you still need to manually put the mac addresses in the ini file, which isn't ideal.

    I'm pretty sure the linking in MyBoy uses Bluetooth or some other linking technology not present in the Nintendo DS. This would make it not really useful Gbarunner2. However, I think it actually might be a good idea to learn from other, similar software. I my opinion, a more useful existing...

    ROM 3M branch is a version of gbarunner2 that allows memory execution for ROMs that have data past a certain size, which is around 30 megabytes. Pokemon Emerald is one of such games Edit: by the way, there hasn't been a ROM 3m update for a while, so in the releases of gbarunner2 on GitHub...

    Hey, Gericom, excellent work on this so far! Not trying to sound picky, but I've noticed just a few minor things that could be polished up. You might be already working on these, but: Turn off backlight of screen not in use Turn off screen and halt emulation while lid is closed Allow border...

    Hey on that pre-release with the direct sound emulation, the audio channels don't fall out of sync for Pokemon games anymore!!! :bow: This probably means it resolved it for other games too! Edit: thank you so much, Gericom, for all that you do. I am amazed and inspired by your work, and I...
