NitroSwan - A WonderSwan emulator for NDS

[plasturion]

Kaze no Klonoa running now at full speed like on original hardware (75hz). This is simply incredible, I don't see any framedrops, or vblank desync, I didn't know DS screen can display at this framerate, just wow. Thanks!

 

[CrashMidnick]

This is awesome. Thanks Flubba !

Oh my god...OH MY GOD! This is literally a game changer! All the titles are running at their intended speed, and now the music isn't slow anymore! I really underestimated the DS(i)'s power. I can never thank you enough, Flubba

Dicing Knight is now virtually identical to how I remember it!

A-MAZ-ING! Great work @FluBBa

Hmm. Not sure if it's a 3ds problem, but running this in 75Hz mode on o3ds Twilight is very choppy

I can confirm this on my side. All is OK on DS lite / DSi but not on 3DS

@FluBBa : Debug info shows games at full framerate but it is like the emulator is running with Frameskip (3 or 4). I tried DS and DSi modes with TWL++, both react the same way.

 

[FluBBa]

Yeah, I guess it would have been a miracle if it worked on the 3DS. According to docs, the scanline should only be skipped 10 lines maximum, to get 75Hz I need to skip 55 scanlines.

Does anyone happen to know if Makai Toushi Sa-Ga's text boxes are now working?

I spoke to the 1st guy and text box seems to be ok as far as I can see on YT.

@FluBBa :

Sound volume reset itself to "mute" when you change roms and sometimes at 1st boot. Not a big deal but the problem is there.

About the 2nd sound channel, why you had to mute it when samples are played ? is it a hardware limitation or an unknown problem ?

Thanks.

 

[FluBBa]

The text boxes in Makai Toushi Saga are the same as before.
Default sound volume is now max, if you have saved the internal EEPROM before then it is what was set then. You need to go into the settings of the BIOS (hold Start when booting WonderSwan), then save settings in NitroSwan.
People complained about bad sound from ch2, guess I'll make a setting for it or try to fix it.

Having PCM in channel 2 would be amazing, but I understand it might be difficult to add to the emulator. NitroSwan 4.1 is already great, much better than S8DS even. I never thought you'd be able to pull this off

 

[CrashMidnick]

You need to go into the settings of the BIOS (hold Start when booting WonderSwan), then save settings in NitroSwan.

This did not work, I needed to delete the two WS/WSC eeprom in the Nitroswan folder. I think it happens when you have 2 versions of the emulator and it may corrupt files or something. Working again leaving only one version and generating new files.

 

[FluBBa]

There is also "Options-Machine-Clear Internal EEPROM".

More evidence that the DSi is the ultimate retro machine for classic gaming

so much fun testing this on a panzer DS, thank you FluBBa!!

amazing how every games i throw in are full speed now and running butter smooth.
the only one i can't get to load is 'golden axe'

Apart going into into option holding Start when booting WonderSwan, are they there any benefit using bioses (tried WS and WSC ones) ?

 

[placebo_yue]

Dear Mr flubba, i finally got around to trying the last version and sadly the "load state" option appears to fail. It garbles the graphics and gets stuck there. It used to work on the previous version I had installed.
I'm on O3DS, playing a game I was already playing (with save states created) in case all that matters. I have BIOS, although maybe I had to set it up again..

 

[FluBBa]

I might have broken compatibility between versions, if it doesn't work when you create a new save state, I will fix it.

 

[placebo_yue]

i tried overwriting, loading the game's save file (which still works normally), "save state" and then loading that, but still failed.
I suppose i should delete whatever file holds the save states and create a completely new one to avoid the issue?

 

[FluBBa]

Which game are we talking about here, and where in the game are you, attach the save file here if you can and I will take a look at it.

it's one of the digimon games, the one where you play with ryo and then ken, black and white. Can't remember the name now.
I'll try to find the save and transfer to PC with filezilla today
