Homebrew Minecraft DS (in 3D !)

[lucasade]

why did the dl link dissapear? i would like to try this, and i dont wanna be a beta tester...just want to try it.

Smealum got contacted and asked to remove the textures. They're using different ones now. The demo's still out there if you want to try it, you just have to look for a bit.

That actually wasn't THE reason. The textures wern't a problem after a day. He just felt it was too unstable and could corrupt your card. look back to like page 13.

@Smealum: where do you put testmap.map when running no$gba? It cant see it.

I think you have to have testmap.map compiled in the .nds file, because as far as i know no$gba doen't support filesystem stuff

Desmume is able to emulate the R4 command. You can assign a folder to the emulator. This folder emulate the microsd.

How, I was trying Desmume earlier, couldnt see how to do that.

EDIT: never mind, the touch isnt working either (game runs, no map) so there is probably no point trying. Does anyone know how to set directory iDeaS?

EDIT2: iDeaS has more side effects than just no movement. I need to know how smealum does it with No$Gba.

Menu Emulation > slot 1 and choose R4. Set a folder where you copy wood r4 and dscraft. run wood r4 decrypted .dat and you can run dscraft from wood R4.

To be able to use the touchscreen you need to copy bioses and firmware.

To run directly dscraft without the need of wood R4, just dldi patch the .nds with the r4v2 dldi driver.

Thanks.

EDIT: Hmm, I got all the files ready first, and went into Dsemume to set slot1, but there is no slot1 option! What emulator are you describing?

 

[lucasade]

This emulation stuff doesn't matter too much guys. I just wanted to record the game properly if I am going to post it on You-Tube. If anyone gets it to work, please tell me how.

You are probably trying a very old build. Desmume is an open source emulator with constant updates.
Here is the last compiled version from EmuCR, thanks to Nichole : http://www.emucr.com/2011/08/desmume-svn-r4074.html

Wow! Thats new.

I have been using 0.9.6 from filetrip. Someone ought to update the download there.

I have tested it out with file system and it works fine.

I know Nitro works, but I don't know about Fat(or what ever it is).

Ok, I got the latest version of DeSmumE you sent me. I decrypted Woodr4's _DS_MENU.DAT into WOODR4.NDS with r4crypt. I set up slot 1 to be r4, told it where wood was, went to run mcds_test.nds and....
it froze.

I mean, wood is definately seeing directories because its not using default theme, plus i can browse the entire folder I made. What is happening!!!! All this hassel just to record and put on you-tube

Also, if I run unpatched mcds_test, I get Arm9 undefined instruction errors. DLDI patching is last resort now.

Okay, I tested out FAT and it officially does not work on NO$GBA. Nitro does work on this emulator though. Just helping out here.

Ok, hold up. Tell me what you are doing! What files, where you put them, what slot1 settings. Just anything you did to get it to work.

I got the game to run now, but no map

Well, I was able to see what files were in a specific folder. In that case, it should be able to read them. I tested it by putting the files into a folder called 'nitrofiles'. smealm could have another folder name, but putting the NDS file in the same directory as the folder worked for me.

I just tried the game out on my R4 with Wood1.34. I really like it, but I've got some recommendations:

- Add more sensitivity for the viewing feature on the touchscreen (enough to perform an easy 180 degree turn)
- Change the jump button to the "L" button
- "B" button to remove
- "X" button to add
- "A" and "B" button to switch between different boxes quickly
- "START" button for the menu
- Support for external rams from slot-2

This way, it'll be easier to navigate the whole map, having the directional pad to move, the touch screen (extra sensitivity) to view, and the L button to jump.

- Support for external rams from slot-2

Shlow down. That is a future thing, as Smealum is currently working to get the game running off 4mb of ram.

As for control scheme, sounds comfortable
