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

[jurassicplayer]

While having a GBA emulator without anything but a slot-1 IS progress, I don't think it is at the stage where something is better than nothing applies (when taken from the gamer's perspective). As I have once posted here, doing a task that usually takes a minute which takes 15 minutes in the emulator REALLY isn't worth it for anything but testing.

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

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

And this is better than nothing?
Or not?

And get bajillions of null pointer access.

I'm not sure if someone already asked this, but there are too many replys in this post and I can't read them all, so...
Did someone manage to run GBA emu from the sudokuhax? I tried myself, but when I have to choose between Nitro: , Fat: and SD: . it freezes.
Also, I tested it from a regular flash cart in DS mode, and I noticed that the rom must be in the root of the sd cart. It woulb be nice if it was possible to navigate through the sd directory, and acess pastes.

Depending on the version, it may or may not be run from Sudokuhax and it might not have a GUI.

You can't allocate 14MB of RAM in ds mode. Lower the malloc value, the ds only have 4MB of memory.

And how i make the malloc value lower?

You're even assuming that the text file dictates the malloc.

Play gba games on nintendo ds sounds very nice.
but what must i configurate to play as example the game PONG.gba? I have a Nintendo DSi.
I´ve tried various times but there is ever the same error: "Failed to allocate memory for ROMCPULoadRom failed"
Ive tried with various memory configurations. The only thing that works is Puzzle.gba and thats very easy and boring game, solved in 15 secounds and ever the same puzzle.

 

[dicamarques]

Ya me too

 

[Mbmax]

Use the dpad up and down to set the malloc value and press start.
If you run in DSi mode with the iEvolution flashcart or the sudokuhax you will be able to allocate 14MB on a DSi.
In ds mode it's 2MB maybe a little more.

Here guys, read this.

If this program is run from a standard flashcart, even on a DSi, it can only play games up to 2MB in size.

In order to play games up to 14MB in size, you MUST run this through Sudokuhax or the Cyclo DS iEVO.

Uh...obvious much? Sudokuhax and the iEVO are the only ones that can use DSi mode at the moment...

 

[Patrick1704]

now it works, thx

is it able to make the playable gamesize bigger?
anyway?


btw. the emulator run the games in dsi mode or?

 

[Rydian]

The emulator can run in DSi mode if the way you're running it (CycloDS iEvolution or SudokuHax) is DSi-mode.

update: someone asked me about the current process so here ist the link to the github https://github.com/ichfly/gbaemu4DS the difference between the github Versions is that the github is untested and contain test code that may crash a real game as soon as ther is an new stabil version of the gbaemu i will update them here

ADD: hyperspeedup is currently not running on real DS(i) devices.
