Spinal - It seems that the latest build working good.
Can I have a request for the next update?
- Maybe working on touchscreen on the next build. - so we can use touchscreen to load game, etc?

 

[Cluny]

AceKard2i
Dsi
Akaio 1.6

I got it working, but only for some games. It's almost like my loaders are out of date, but I just updated to akaio 1.6 so i don't see how that's possible.

for example I can get nsmb, chinatown wars and final fantasy 4 to work. But i can't get Elite beat agents, Soul silver or bowser's inside story to work (even though they worked before i started using this)

Any ideas?

(the app is VERY nice btw)

Cluny - you might want to check your loader again. Cause all of those game working fine when I test it. I am using akaio 1.6r1 with dscovery and all of them working fine.

can you direct me to where i could find the latest loaders?

toxicflash - If you download the latest version from my website (http://spinalcode.co.uk/) you don not need to patch anything as there is an acekard version included. It's also work noting that Acekard is probably the easiest to set up, just instal AKAIO onto your card, then rename akmenu4.nds (from akaio) to akmenu.nds, then copy the akmenu4.nds from the DScovered download not forgetting the d_system folder. then setup the covers using dscoverey.exe also included in the download.

DarkMario616 - Nope, cheats do not work with DScovered, sorry.

Awww, that sucks. Will it ever be implemented Spinal

? or what about being able to launch GBA games?

Just wondering ^^;

And if I do use this (with no AR, it's a bit iffy, I love the interface though), does anybody have covers for the NES/Gameboy/Jenesis emulators?

 

[toxicflash]

edit :sussed the prob i was having

 

[Mantis41]

next 1st class noob question from me!, ive just added the cover files to the exe, it looks great on there but when the ones i added are viewed on dsi there completely messed up i noticed i had no pink bars on the top or bottom of the box art? any ideas from anyone how to convert them properly??

Copy cover from google images or other source. Resize width to 128 pixels preserve aspec ratio. Height should now be 114. Increase the canvas size 7 pixels top 7 on the bottom use pink (magenta) as background colour (should now be 128x128). Save as 8bit BMP or 256 colour BMP.

I hadn't even thought of GBA games...

Anyway, I found these on a site that I wont mention because of the rules.

There should be absolutely no problem with using the .exe to convert the images. Are you sure you're doing it right (there aren't many steps at all). Do you have a photo of the messed up covers?

 

[toxicflash]

it was user error i read the 1st post from spinal on how to use it and got it sussed , just copy and paste the url and waheyyyyyy away i went!

 

[Mantis41]

I'm a dick head. I didn't even notice the browse button at the bottom of dscovery. I've been adding all the new covers manually.

Edit: speaking of being a dick head. Is there any way to get a akAIO to run from DScovered? I added akmenu.nds and it goes into a re-boot loop when run. Games run well but I havn't found a way to run up the akAIO menu from DScovered. I thought it would be handy encase I needed to change save settings or cheats.

 

[Xenon++]

HEY you are the same guy who made DSision 2! Why wouldn't you add SDHC and Xenon++ loader support to DSision 2? I have been using both to amuse my friends but havent been able to use 2 becouse of lack of SDHC support. (Now its also jumpin to d_system folder for some reason)

I'm sure Xenon++ posted a link a couple of pages back with a patch for updating Dsision1 and 2 with his updated loader.

Didn't notice that

Now I just have to figure out how to use it (and under Linux...)

replaceloader chishm_small.bin DSision.nds
And if use linux just compile replaceloader.c(Actually win exes are only for noobs).

I guess I'll look at that for the next release. Shouldn't be too difficult.

i have been using DScovered all night now and the only prob i can find with it has already been mentioned that there is no way to access the AKaio menu , other than that after using my brain to its full potential i got the covers loaded from url's and had no probs with anygames i have tried to play, its passes the Mrs's "Ermm what do i do to play games" test aswell RESULT!!

thanks Spinal cord and anyone else involved with the project, top homebrew app!!

Spinal - Skin Question?
What is the format for Dscovery skin? like top picture - resolution, etc?

Why not take a look in the skin folder?

 

[DarkMario616]

So besides the function for loading the AKAIO, are you going to try and add loading GBA games :3? It would be a nice feature

*gets hopes up*

Spinal - how do you change the color of the bottom screen? somehow the color did not come out correctly. I be able to change the middle and bottom to the color I like but on the top part is show complete different color.


By the way, where do you find the icon for your themes. I really like those icon in your video.


Here is mine....

[gradient]
# Now the gradient for the lower screen
# Top
TR=30
TG=144
TB=255
# Middle
MR=30
MG=144
MB=255
#Bottom
BR=30
BG=144
BB=255
