Homebrew WIP melonDS for Switch

[catlover007]

That ended up working though I dont understand why I only need to do that with rom hacks is that a bug?

it is usually required for larger roms. Though if the unpatched roms work (which should have the same file size) that's mysterious.

I do notice blaze black is larger than regular black its not a big deal its just the r butt on this switch joycon was broken so now I have to use a pro controller through this method

you can change the button in the atmosphere config files on your sd card

if you use kosmos
you can edit the button from Kosmos Toolbox

I'm noticing something strange...catlover's latest alpha r3 fix2 (I'm using the title replacement method of launching btw) was working fine for me until yesterday when I added a few more roms to the /roms/ds directory...The newly added roms aren't showing up in the rom list when I'm inside melonds. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Edit: Tried deleting all roms from /roms/ds directory, entering/quitting melonds, re-adding roms to /roms/ds, then relaunching melonds and the new roms now show up.

the maximum amount of roms shown is iirc 100

the maximum amount of roms shown is iirc 100

So what should I do then if I have more than 100? Would it be possible for you to change that limit? Thx!

yes, I just picked some stupid number because it's easier to implement with a maximum count

you can change the button in the atmosphere config files on your sd card

I assume I open it in notepad and for example delte the r in configure to say zr?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

if you use kosmos
you can edit the button from Kosmos Toolbox

whenever I try and use kosmos toolbox it either crashes or says no directory/empty directory bit off topic do you know how to get desmume nx running it always just says empty directory

as far as i know desmume deosnt work ¿?

I just tried the latest release and....wow, what a nice performance!
As many already requested, I would really love to see this integrated as a core in RetroArch. Then, Savestates, button remapping, etc. would be handled by RA to give the us users a great experience.

Nice work, dude!

why do you even want to run desmume in the first place?

yes, make sure the line isn't commented out (i.e. start with a ; )

Yes, in this video that I have attached, you can see the graphic error that occurs. It is an example of the super Mario 64 DS but it also happens in games like Mario Kart DS.
(I have installed the version of atmosphere 9.1.0 and the melonds r3 fix2)

I just got this bug last night, but mine was with pokemon heartgold, it happened when I saved my game, the framerate on the top screen is the same as usual but the bottom screen goes to like 1 FPS.
I'm running SX OS 8.1.0, running through the nsp thing with the latest build.

What’s the error code? If it’s 2168-0002 or something like that, try running hbl as an app (hold R while launching any game/app on your home menu)

 

[Moro90]

Yes i started the emulator in album an it crashes with the error 2168-000. The same wenn i use the nsp of the emulator in the home menu.. any new nsp files for the emulator ?

Why not just do as @ZachyCatGames suggested? Hold the R trigger when launching some other game to get to the homebrew menu? MelonDS needs the extra RAM that the album app doesn't provide.

 

[aarti]

wow, just tested pokemon platinum, it's running pretty good!

 

[catlover007]

for all of you who have been asking for this all the time: my changes are now integrated in the switch libretro core, available via the buildbot.

If you didn't know, RetroArch nightlies for Switch now have a rebased melonDS core (thanks to Mats for his effort) with Generic aka. RSDuck 's dynarec for AArch64!
I just helped with the usual shenanigans so all of the credit to them ;)

Though if you want the latest changes right when they happen, you're here better served
