Homebrew gbaemu4ds: GBA emulator for DS(i) (DSi Entry)

[Schlupi]

I'd really like to try this in DSi mode because of the improved speed. Is there currently an exploit to unlock it without the Cyclo DSi flashcart.

Sudokuhax, but it's no longer available.

As Schlupi said, Sudokuhax. But I'll clarify a little bit.

You used to be able to get an unpatched Sudoku by EA on the DSiWare service. Then you got a PC program which injected your key information (from your Sudoku file copied to your SD Card) into their hacked Sudoku game, which you copied to the DSi and ran.

I'm kinda confused by this, but either only around 234 people bothered with it (there was no SD Card access then) or they discontinued their injector service, which makes it physically impossible to get Sudokuhax.

Has ANYONE the unpatched sukoku by ea?
Wehen yes:
Can anyone sen it per PN?
Please

Try launching it from HomebrewMenu
Find 'Homebrew Menu' on FileTrip.net

 

[Patrick1704]

it doesn't work

there is an error, also when i start it with HomebrewMenu.

good news ther is a way to realy speed the emulator up but it may need time.

anyway,
stat() in dirfolder() has to be absolute path (including drive such as fat:/) or proper chdir() is required.
It seems stat() is failing.

gbaemu is saying my slot2 is G6 or EZ.
It isn't strange at all as my slot2 is M3Ext:
If slot2 is unlocked, 0x08000000 is writable, so it is recognized as EZ because EZ check is at first.
If slot2 is locked, M3Ext seems to behave as G6 after cart initialization, so it is recognized as G6.

1.i think i disable the ui because when i call stat() also the malloc after free fail

2.i don't know how i can fix this but thanks for the bug report .
I will focus on the speed improf now.

cool ichichfly is here . he returned

 

[T-Tudor]

There should be a compatibility list. I seen on some sites that this emu support mario kart super circuit

 

[Patrick1704]

Very thanks, ichfly
in my forum also many people ask about a gba emu, but i even musst reply: No, theres no gba emu.
And now it is real!
- A Gba emu
Thanks you!

Many people still think it's impossible to emulate the GBA on a DSi, i still think it's possible but not with a common emulation.
Virtualization is the trick of the success.

Let's hope ichichfly is on the right way to accomplish that.

I wish him best of luck and he can count on me as a beta tester.

@ ichfly
cann you make the emu runable bigger games?
anytimes?

the DS has only 4MB of RAM

 

[Patrick1704]

ähm, when we take the dsi?
the dsi have more ram, isn't it so?

And the dsi has exact 16 mb RAM

 

[jurassicplayer]

If you haven't noticed, running the emulator takes up some of it...thus it loads around 2MB on a regular DS and at max, around 14MB in DSi mode...in other words, you can't run anything except the simple GBA games and have it jut around extremely slowly. Since it is totally pointless trying to play a game on it anyways, you might as well stick with testing out homebrew, which are generally a lot smaller than that limit anyways.

We already can. Use Sudokuhax or the CycloDS iEVO.

You need something to load the emu with, thus the need for the iEvo or the Sudokuhax. Not everything is free for starters

[Patrick1704]

ok

 

[Rydian]

The sudoku hack's no longer available, so you WILL need to buy the iEvo (or a DSi/XL with the sudoku hack already implemented) to use this in DSi mode.

You cannot bring the pokemon games down to size without removing a lot of the game.

The games will still run like crap.

 

[Patrick1704]

Yes, but you can make new hacks with 5 - 6 maps and 30 - 50 Pokemon.

And this is better than nothing?
Or not?
