DS-Xtreme now DLDI compatible!

Great news for the DS-Xtreme owners!








Yes, great news indeed for all the DS-Xtreme owners! The DS-X team have released a DLDI interface for their flashcart! This means increased and future-proof homebrew compatibility. Here is the official word from the DS-X team:

Due to much demand, we are releasing a DLDI driver, with source, for the DS-Xtreme. We originally planned to also release a "pre-DLDI" libfat driver, but unfortunately that code has now become dated, and it would be trivial to derive a new libfat driver from this DLDI code.

The source should be commented well enough to follow, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them in our home-brew discussion forum here!

This is great news for DS-X owners indeed. This fixes one of its major drawbacks.

So, does it actually result in ScummVM DS working?

 

[thegame07]

yeah im not sure how this works. do you have to patch homebrew that does not work ?

 

[Omero]

It's still "so and so".

The new DLDI drivers doesn't seem to work properly, because of a bug/misunderstanding in the libfat. Chism will fix it in next libfat release.

For full story, read the whole thread here (especially from page 6 onwards):

If that's done, DS-X won't ever need DLDI patching, but will auto-patch and work with 99% of the homebrew automagically, AFAIK.

Chishm has just released the DLDI patch.

You can get it here: http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/index.html

However, it's untested.
