Sorry I did not have time to look into the Moonstone audio problem in this version.

@stanleyopar2000: The games you mention seem to require a 386 processor, so those can only be supported in DS2x86. I am working on it all the time, so perhaps some day...

Nice. I love Fury of the Furries but haven't tried it on DS yet.

well it hardly goes till a game like delta v.. i like how they build that: the far sky for example as a far sky in rise of the triad.. sorry for going offtopicc, but it's just because i had a 3dfx card for newer games on pentium. and d3d was a like a little after.. now it gets interessing more because of games of minecraft. well that is maybe some old news. but i had some excitement with it

so so far maybe on a good on a dsxl/i what i try to guess.. how they do it with new handhelds later if they are strong to get running old and new things on today's systems. they keep on trying

so much fun if over a little time you can try out if newer things work. strange how some game just don't work like titus the fox.. but it's the dsi entry

Confirmed working by successfully installing Norton Commander using its official installer in DSx86 (as opposed to just copying an existing install of NC to the SD card using a computer), and playing around with copying and editing some text files.

I hope this fixes some opcodes

there is an Android DOSemuLator..but they want extra for the fucking on screen joystick they stripped out.

Quick question to people who have been using this for a while... is this homebrew known to have corrupted SD cards in the past? If it is, no problem, I'll just get a separate SD for it... but I'd rather keep it in my main.

 

[Pate]

Thanks for the info about write functionality working with Sudokuhax! I don't have Sudokuhax so I could not test this myself.

MarkDarkness: I haven't heard of reports of corrupt SD cards, but I believe there is a bigger risk of such happening with Sudokuhax. But, of course my info could be biased, so I hope other users will report their experiences.

No problems. Oh, and just give me a shout if there's anything else Sudokuhax specific you want me to test for you

Thanks Pate... I'll use it on my DS Lite then.

I was playing star control 2, it works well up to a certain point and then it says 'unsupported opcode' but it happens randomly.

Sometimes when loading a game, sometimes when visiting a planet,

here is the game with my save game, to reproduce the problem just load the saved game and play for a few minutes

http://www.mediafire.com/?5035k96x6kcb5zj

here is one while saving the game:
Unsupported Opcode!
AX=C630 BX=0050 CX=5EE5 DX=0000
SP=FFFC BP=E09C SI=E968 DI=E968
DS=75A4 ES=5E87 SS=2EDB CS=9BF0
NV UP DI PL ZR ?? ?? NC 0
9BF0:04FD FF db FF

and another while playing:
386 opcodes not supported!
mov bx.[bp+di]




In the manual it says the game needs a 286 with 386 recommended.

 

[Pate]

Thanks for the file slenkar, I'll try to debug that problem when I have the time.

Pate, i can't use the DSi softreset in DSi mode (iEvo), is it normal ? I need to shutdown my DSi (press 5 seconds the power button)

 

[dicamarques]

Just telling that i have a tutorial in how to install the Dsx86 on a ds.

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=300941&hl=

 

[Pate]

@MBMax: I fear the problem with the DSi softreset is caused by my having to remove the i2C code from ARM7 library to got AdLib audio working. I am not quite sure what the i2C system does, but it seems to be related to DSi power button behaviour. So, I'm not sure if I can fix this problem, there seems to be some severe incompatibility between my AdLib audio code and that i2C handling code.

@dicamargues: Thanks for making the tutorial! Your link above seems to point to something else, though..
