NDS-GBA iPlayer GBA emulator v1.0 released

[Another World]

this is a port of VBA right? last i checked VBA is protected under the GPL license? so where is the source for this build? he should release it, by law.

The great thing about laws is that they vary from coutry to country. Not everyone lives in the US.

And if he does live in the US, I'm not sure a port is covered under the GPL, but assuming it is, he would only need to release the source that was taken from VBA, not what he wrote himself.

EDIT: Or I just don't understand the GPL.

Either way, I still commend darkchen for his achievement.

darkchen has done an impressive work on this.

Thanks so much for this great homebrew.

im at work so I cant test this but does normal saving work? Not RTS/save states, but normal, in-game saving?

in the beta release FF VI (the only game I tested) did not.

I was just thinking, if DSi mode gets completely hacked, and a DSi-iPlayer comes out, we might even be able to play frickin PSX or N64 games, maybe even more!

Wait...if this is VBA, shouldn't Game Boy/Game Boy Color games work too? Or have I missed something? If he had coded these parts in, then I guess so (and yes, I know there's already an Emulator for GB/GBC Games...still all-in-one would be nice too

).

Anyways, this whole Emulator is in a grey area, because of the (probably) illegaly obtained SDK...so yeah...don't know if he'll release it...

[Eternal Myst]

*Slap!*

Anyway, I may consider an iPlayer now with this. Even though I have a 3-in-1, it can still play AVI's and such. The iPlayer with a DSi could easily be everything you need for a long trip: Games, camera, movies. Awesome.

Lol! Nice!!! I don't have a iplayer but it sounds nice

 

[Keylogger]

Thank you so much darkchen, this is awesome!!

This is great homebrew! Love this but have a few questions

not sure where to place the gba files? And how do I activate the gbaplayer once im in the iplayer menu.

I Placed the plugin folder in the _system folder of the iplayer. Is that right?

GBA files can be placed anywhere.

the system folder has it's own folder for plugins (you may have to dig around a bit to find it) and the plugin files go into there (or you can just replace the plugin folder)

you dont need to activate the program at all! GBA games will simply be recognized and start working immediately from the iplayer's menu.

Now if the DS iplayer could only play DS backups. A loader would be nice.

 

[Mbmax]

I have some issue with some games but apart that the emulator is very good.
Frameskip is very acceptable and i'm sure this will be optimized in further version.

no. whole project source must be released.

 

[Pliskron]

This is one of the best beta releases that I've ever seen.

Does RTC (real-time clock) and in-game saving work?

I'm asking because the biggest issue with playing GBA Pokemon games with an EZ3in1 is that there's no RTC, and occasionally saving won't work, which obviously causes a lot of problems.

I have white screen with pokemons games, so i can't tell.
