[iwakura]

is there any possible way to get this emulator working on othe flash carts?

I feel better.

dammit i need an iPlayer... Theyre just too expensive though. I mean $50 and you cant even play commercial roms....

lol that's the price for hardware, R&D etc, believe it or not it would have cost even more if they support roms

iPlayer is officially the ultimate homebrew card out there. All it needs is commercial ROM loading (YSMenu, anyone?) and it will be the ultimate card, period.

Hmmm maybe a mod can add this in bold in the first post?

There isn't a way to get this emulator working on other flash carts. Sorry

 

[qwsed]

no, NO, NO. YOU CAN NOT CONVERT THIS TO OTHER FLASHCARDS!! ffs... its just like the mario & luigi topic all over again...

This is AWSOME. I would have ordered an iPlayer, but I already ordered a Dingoo A320... (I like both very well!)

Thank you Darkchen for the first iPlayer proof of concept!

Sure, you just need a flash cart that includes a CPU powerful enough to run a GBA emulator. I believe the iPlayer uses a 200MHz ARM chip. Keep in mind the emulator isn't running on the DS, the DS is just used for input and as a display, much like the gameboy player. As far as I know, the iPlayer is the only flash cart at the moment that has an onboard coprocessor powerful enough to do it but there is no reason it couldn't be ported to other flash carts with similar hardware, once they are available.

Some questions:

1) By how much is the battery life reduced, when using the iplayer for gba emulation?

2) When you play a gba rom, can you make the image fill the entire nds screen? I hate black borders.

3) Can you play 32MB roms (the maximum size for gba roms, afaik)?

Sorry if it's already been asked, but will it work normally on a DS Lite?

Yes

Since the iPlayer is much powerful than all Nintendo DS model, will the iPlayer can emulate PlayStation 1 (PS1) and Nintendo 64 games?

Wow, best news I've heard all month. Thanks For this darkchen, keep up the awesome work!

[*]I don't know (I didn't have an iPlayer.[*]Screen borders will appear in this GBA emulator.[*]I don't it works... try yourself.
That's my answers.

Awesome emulator, but I prefer EZ Flash 3in1 in combination with CycloDS Evolution. Anyway well done DarkChen. I guess someday someone will release a good snes emulator for iPlayer as well.

Btw, some homebrew games like fandian or dawnseekers didnt work with iPlayer coz they were not recognized as homebrew files :/

I doubt it. Even the PSP does not emulate PS1 games as the PSP's CPU is compatible with the PS1 CPU, so there is no need to run a full emulator.

What?! The PSP can run and emulate PS1 games (I just saw the PSP FAQ at GBAtemp). I'm asking that iPlayer can run PS1 and Nintendo 64 games.

lol, there's no way the iPlayer can emulate a PS1 oer N64 game, impossible. Wii has even a 729 Mhz CPU and what do we have? Crappy wii64 and psx emulators...

Actually the Wii PSX emulator works pretty damn well, most games run at full speed. The Wii64 emulator has been promising from the teasers, but in its current form isn't great. But 30 FPS isn't a terrible start. Don't go bashing people unless you can do a better job yourself.

You missed the point completely. It's not "emulated" by the PSP. It's just the CPUs are compatible, and the software loads as if it were a PS1 :/

At least that's my understanding of it. Either way, no PSX DS emulator anytime soon.

Wrong. While it is true the PSP can run PS1 games, POPS IS NOT AN EMULATOR. It is basically the same as Parallels, VMware, or VirtualBox which aren't emulators (unlike Dosbox, which is an emulator). Of course, it is a bit more complicated than that due to the lack of a MMU, but virtualization is not the same as emulation.

Correct, virtualization is not the same as emulation.
