Homebrew DS(i) Mode hacking progress thread

[RocketRobz]

From what I read, you can't save from that can you?

Although I haven't tested saving with the other version too...

Nope, you can't save from that version.

Nitrografx works but has sound issues (missing samples) and DSision2 doesn't freeze anymore, but cannot boot homebrews, same thing with DSi4DS.
dsDoom still stuck on Welcome...

Soud works on NeoDS but I'm getting pretty bad graphical bugs on the 3 games that I tried (Neo Bomberman, Spin Master and Nightmare in the dark).

 

[Billy Acuña]

I can confirm that CD support on Nitrografx works flawlesly, is just the samples issue.

damn for a min there was happy i could atleast play Klax on the go but while i saw a really odd glitching screen leading to a crash thinking "Ooooooook.. maybe an issue w/ the hbloader atm." but after testing on my DSi (card) yep :/ same glitch. Bummer (that was with nesDS 1.3b Special)

Try NesDS 1.3c

Try NesDS 1.3c

same effect here,

breaks after first level or going into options (gltched lines like a Pokemon R/B Walk thru walls crash and it just Spams in the Debugger the counter for BRK)

Why the retail game can't boot ?

Try enabling NTR clock speeds from hbmenu.ini

it's been answered multiple times. DS roms boot off of slot 1

 

[nooby89]

So the dev need to create an Slot-1 emulation ?

They're doing Slot-1 to SD redirection, which has recently been possible on homebrew.
Because the ARM9 is unable to read the SD slot, and only the ARM7 can, the ARM7 does the redirection job.

NeoDS has graphical corruption in this update (but it works with sound now).

 

[nooby89]

And this is not done ?

Homebrew that requires dldi also intent to boot off of slot 1, the thing is that retail roms need a different way of patching, irrc, flashcard patch retail roms to boot from mSD on the flashrcard rather than the card itself. @spinalcord explained it on this thread and afaik @ahezard explained it too.

 

[Dracari]

Try enabling NTR clock speeds from hbmenu.ini

with that set, instead of continuing to run but erroring in the nesDS Debugger, it crashes the entire emulator needing a restart w/ Home Menu Button (powercycle in the case of the DSi)

 

[RocketRobz]

And this is not done ?

Sadly, no. We're still quite far from running retail DS titles.

I have released a new version of nds-hb-menu/nds-bootstrap :

I'm discovering this way too late tonight to really do much with it, but I'll be sure to do some testing tomorrow!

 

[9thSage]

sorry, something weird happened when I posted and somehow I ended up making this second post. Please ignore!

Stella DS -works
gbaemu4ds- stuck on "initializing this fat"

Will the loading time for SD loading ever improve for .nds files? Or is that basically a lost cause? Certain games with multi-screen transitions can take 3-4 seconds and it really slows the games to a halt.
