Hacking NDStation 1.3 Teaser

[springah]

im a linux dude whos only using windows atm because the R4 doesnt like the linux fat32...

ie, linux keeps breaking my sd card! haha

 

[springah]

bah, found a copy of 1.1, ill stick to that for now

 

[dg10050]

My M3 Simply seems to be fine with Linux. You just have to rename any folder inside (and including) the _SYSTEM_ folder so that it contains all capital letters.

 

[springah]

hmm, that sounds simple

i'll give it a go soon

 

[MaNsiu58]

for NDStation, do i need to create a specific name for the folder?

If i load the game in, will it be fast with the loading next time rd?

Can I patch the game with Gbata?

I've been working on a ruby/gtk2 version, I'm trying to emulate chuckstudios layout as much as possible(standardize NDStation?)

Its far from complete, gotta add a few buttons, batch list...
I haven't even started linking the buttons to anything but I will soon.

Yes I know it isn't aligned properly

 

[springah]

awesome! ndstation rocks hard. who wants to load up a GBA loader every time they wanna play a game? Changing to nds was genius.

That looks pretty good. Keep at it

NDStaion 1.3 looks great, can't wait.

Just wondering is it possible for the icon in furture versions to be able to use a icon greater than 4-bit colour or is there some restriction with the colours which prevents this?

 

[chuckstudios]

It's a restriction of the NDS file format. Those 16 colors can be palleted though, and you can make great icons with it. (see commercial games

)

 

[dg10050]

I'd like to suggest the ability to scan a folder and auto-add all gba files contained in it. I'd also love to see the ability to open compressed files (7z plz) for conversion.

Oh wow, people are actually trying my GUI out on Cygwin? Heh, it was never exactly designed for that, but I suppose if you have Mono installed it may work. You do know there's a Windows GUI, right?

Hmm. I'll have to try this out under cygwin too. I haven't had the windows version working since the very first release. Can this work under OSX too?

 

[Azimuth]

heres how the completed GUI is gonna look, feedback would be appreciated.

 

[maximus6282]

Looks Great!!

 

[dg10050]

I can't wait.

 

[chuckstudios]

Short status report on my end: the Windows GUI is pretty much finished. I've implemented a compressor for my custom compression format. The only major things left are custom splashes and the decompressor, both on the DS end. (also, the PSP's OSK sucks.)

 

[dg10050]

So, uh, how's this going?

 

[matriculated]

What does the PSP OSK have to do with this?
/confused

 

[arctic_flame]

Cause he obviously uses the PSP browser whilst in bed / for some odd reason decides to browse the web using a PSP when his laptop/computer is right there.

 

[tomqman]

is there any way you could make ndstation convert a image to 4bit when you load it
