Wow with the latest commit 9a3dca4 attached here I can play the rom "0029 - GoldenEye - Rogue Agent (U)(Trashman)" at full speed with minor slow downs and no crashing, pretty impressive! With commit e3d0405 is working too...

Oo first retail rom we can run 0-0

That's not true...since you can run Yoshi Touch and Go in the other, just with some slowdowns.

What is this exactly? Just games people said they could run with the patch?

 

[BMO]

Not sure if this has been asked before but can you put the system in sleep mode while using this?

 

[Fatalanus]

no no, covers only!! xD
But I'm not gonna wait to know if games are working or not as I have only limited time to work on covers.

Basically, all the covers are on -snip- all you have to resize them which you can do in bulk very easily with XnView.

 

[Fatalanus]

yes and?

Can you name your file after the commit number? So like 799f28a-bootstrap-dldi.nds

Wish I would've known this before doing it manually in GIMP

Which XnView pack should I get? (Minimal, standard, or extended)

Hmm going to be honest I never noticed there were levels but I'd say the extended because why not? You can also use a batch process script.

Create a text file and rename it NDS BoxArt.xbs copy paste and save. In the batch proccess load it. This will resize it and convert to png if needed.

resize( 0 lanczos 128 115 0 1 0 )
settings( 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 )
output( png 0 6 )

Idk but I think is something wrong with your build. Look mine, the size is different and works for the games I tried. In your build the games don't work.... just compiled the latest commit 799f82a

EDIT: Yes just confirmed. Your build now is the same build I downloaded today morning from you site. I think your script is broken

 

[Link_of_Hyrule]

So far I can't get Yoshi Touch and Go or Castlevania - Portrait of Ruin to load up what settings are you guys using? (per game settings are need in the future imo)

Im not sure if i have something set up wrong i ran the make install and it looks like it finished but when i run the script it runs but then in makes a 0kb file? and says something about failed to make cia file

Had the same problem, we are definitively doing something wrong.

Advanced Wars Dual Strike shows the error screen finally！ It is still a progress ，since it was always black screen before.

I figured out my problem so i didn't have the latest version of libnds. Get the master.zip repo then unzip it somewhere dont get it from releases just get the whole repo. make sure devkitpro is installed and that its in the windows go to the unziped folder right click and select open command window here then type make install that will set it up then install python 2.7 and make sure its added to your path. then you can go to the bootstrap folder and type make and it will make the file

Try take of a NDS/3DS card if is inserted and try again

Will give it a try, thanks for the heads up.

Edit: Nope, I'm too dumb to know how to work with devkit and python commands, so I'll just keep waiting patiently as I've been doing all along.
