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

[ichichfly]

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.

can anyone help me:

when i will load the r5 fix 4 it doesn't work.
but when i load it with the homebrew menu it work.

but i will play it with dsilink.
but there i can not start it with homebrew menü.

Please help me!

Dose the card support nitrofs?

It is a Exploit using My Cooking Coach (Game)

And i have found out that nitrofs don't work

Is it able to build in a gba game into the emulator without use nitrofs?

it is possible but i don't add this yet. I will try to add this soon.

wow, cool thanks!

hi,
when i download and try to compile the emulator source from https://github.com/ichfly/gbaemu4DS i get the error:

c:/arm9/source/GBA.cpp:39:27: fatal error: puzzleorginal.h: No such file or dire
ctory

From whre i can get the file?
I think it is a lib for the example puzzle gba game, right?

ups forgot to update you can generate the puzzleorginal.h and puzzleorginal.c by renaming your gba file to puzzleorginal and than use the (devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\)raw2c.exe to convert (the input file must be called puzzleorginal) it than copy it (puzzleorginal.h and puzzleorginal.c)to the source folder

ADD: done a little update to the github

thanks, but i have a problem:

i have trimmed a Pokemon gba rom to a size of 9 mb (i have deleted the fffff on the end of the file with a Hex editor, the game still worked)

then i have used the tool raw2c.exe
but one of the two files have 94 mb oO

when i will compile it, i get this error:

hm try to close all open programms or use a smaler rom or disable the -O5 flag in the make file

add: may i can edit it so it use bin2s that use less memory to compile

Maybe try loading the ROM normally instead of bootstrapping it?

OK try that deleate the puzzleorginal.c file and use the (devkitPro\devkitARM\bin\)bin2s.exe this way bin2s.exe >

than copy the in the source folder.

ADD: i hope the loader can load bigger files than 4 MB

 

[Patrick1704]

musst i rename the file to anythink?
i have tried to rename the file to puzzleorginal.h and puzzleorginal.c but there came an error.

And when i put the file named outputfile.s there came the error " puzzleorginal.h not found"

 

[ichichfly]

ups my bad before you convert it it must be renamed to puzzleorginal

than copy the puzzleorginal.h from the raw2c in the source folder and outputfile.s from bin2s too.

 

[Gh0sti]

so question does this emulator work yet on game roms??

 

[Patrick1704]

ups my bad before you convert it it must be renamed to puzzleorginal

than copy the puzzleorginal.h from the raw2c in the source folder and outputfile.s from bin2s too.

Ok, have i understood it correctly?

1. use raw2c for the gba file and copy the puzzleorginal.h file into the source folder
2. use bin2s and copy the created outputfile.s into the source folder
3. compile it

?

When i make it so i get this messages/errors:

[ichichfly]

so question does this emulator work yet on game roms??

yes it can run roms as long as the used space in the rom (some roms are 4MB but only use 2MB) is less than the size of the malloc the max size you can malloc in DS mode is a little bit more than 2 MB in dsi mode a little bit more than 14 MB

@Patrick1704 hm ok i have found a way to convert the files direct at every compile i will update the git soon.

 

[Fishaman P]

It helps if you trim the GBA ROMs.

 

[ichichfly]

I have updated the git now you can yust place the gbarom as puzzeloriginal.bin in the data folder and compile

ADD: there already is an puzzeloriginal.bin.

 

[heartgold]

What's the Framerate speed like now on the DSi?

 

[Patrick1704]

thx, it work now perfectly

 

[Fishaman P]

What's the Framerate speed like now on the DSi?

Not much different... SUCKY.

 

[NES SNES V.B. N64 G.C. Wii WiiU]

What's the Framerate speed like now on the DSi?

Not much different... SUCKY.

I wouldn't expect much more considering the DS is barely 3 or 4 times as powerful as a GBA, and you need 10 times at least to decently emulate something.
