Hacking DSTWO GBA capabilities

[Escape]

Pokemon Emerald Version (U)
Pokemon Fire Red Version (U)
Pokemon Leaf Green Version (U)
Pokemon Ruby Version (U)
Pokemon Sapphire Version (U)

These all worked for me. Some I can't use the internal save but save state works fine.

Do they work without lagging?

Games are not going to work any differently than on the iPlayer - that card's GBA emulator was a (very slightly) modified version of gpSP for the PSP, and I'd be highly surprised to learn they did any actual coding for this 1.1 outside of GUI or hardware tweaks. Basically, if it was broken on the iPlayer, it'll probably still be broken on the DSTwo. It's a shame this 1.1 isn't iPlayer compatible either - I'd be willing to test and document the differences between the two versions on my card.

I wonder if they'll use SNES9xtyl for the DSTwo?

Not really any lag that I can notice. I would have to play the original games so I can compare.

Whoever has the dstwo can you please test a hacked pokemon game on the GBA emulator? YOu know Pokemon Shinygold?

Tried Pokemon - Shiny Gold V4, and it works. No noticeable glitches or anything in the limited time I tested it.

Mother 3 English Translation (J) also works fine. Will tests some more once I get home from work.

I have tested Golden sun 1 and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
Golden Sun laggs and skips frames a lot. I found it worse than the one I have on my PSP, so I am not impressed.

Golden Sun The Lost Age is much worse, and not playable.

I think we should all be impressed from the sheer revolution that going on here! I mean a few months ago I didn't think it was possible to play GBA roms on a DS flashcard let alone a dsi! Lets be grateful it has been discovered and hope it wil improve.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Well they are making the same mistake of bundling emulators like they did with the old slot2, when they should have let the community code thier own while the interest in the SCDS2 is still fresh. If expectations fall short of what is being delivered in the emus, most of us will pretty much have it filed away in some place since that is all some of us bought it for.

When you say it like that then yeah. I was just hoping it would play better than on my PSP (maybe I expected too much at this point). Hopefully they'll release new updates to the GBA emulator, playing .avi files is none of my interest as the screen is too small, but hopefully they'll figure something out. Some new epic skins and some neat plugins aswell, and it's good as gold!

For me Golden Sun plays fine, and the Lost Age had minor frame skipping and a little sound distortion (but still playable).

I wonder if it has to do with the microSD card?

I have only tried Ruby and that blank screened me, probably try some more tomorrow.

Hm, that makes me wonder...I'd assumed that it loaded the entire ROM into the DSTwo's 32 MB of RAM (pretty sure 32 MB is the largest a GBA game can be except for possibly some of those video cartridges), but I suppose it's possible it's not. How long does it take to load? I suppose that if it starts instantly, it's *probably* not loading it all into RAM.

FYI - on the Supercard site there's a couple of posts, don't know how often they're gonna get updated etc but hey - it's a start

EOS Compatibility list

 

[R4Liam]

I am sure that these errors on gba games will soon be ironed out from updates its impossible for it to have been perfect from the beggining and if you throw away/ sell the dstwo just cause of the fact that it aint 100% perfect from the offeset then you are foolish.

 

[Krestent]

Isn't the SC GBA emulator effectively the same as the iPlayer's? If so, why do the Pokemon games apparently not work?

 

[Sanderino]

Wow, Mother 3 + translation patch works! Instant buy! ( I think)

Actually, that EOS list is for the EOS that's available for DSOne and DSOnei. Compatibility might not be exactly the same for the DSTwo.

it seems to me that the saving issues on pokemon games are similar to the messages that come up on pc emulators which is fixed by going into settings and changing the save type
