So, I was playing some old gb games on the DS today and idly wondered if there was a way to get cheats and googled. Found out there was a new version of lameboy (.12) that came out a while back that I somehow missed. Copied it over and love the new auto full screen option. Also seems to fix the gfx glitches in some games.

However, Qix won't run, it freezes on the tile screen. It worked on whatever old version I was using before.
Anybody gotten this to work?

No, Qix on normal GB. The classic mode in Adventure doesn't do it for me for some reason. Maybe because I grew up with the 5200 version, which the GB version is more like. The NES version isn't bad but nesDS won't play that.

I tried 5 different versions of Qix. It works on .9 and .11 but not .12. So, must be one of the changes to the core he did. Posted a message over at his site.

    @nitr8, I've noticed how Blood only takes up a small portion of the screen due to how it fits in the intended screen resolution.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    One would have to make several changes to the code to ensure that it fills the entire screen.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I went back to the old port I had previously running as it's the only one which was up to complete with sound, music, controls etc.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, How long have you worked on this port, just this year?
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    ...and I'm currently playing it - no crash so far. If I could, I'd live-stream
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Or play through it until you encounter a bug or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You should maybe hire beta/alpha testers to playtest your game while you continue to update the port, but that's up to you.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have been working on BLOOD for the Wii for a few weeks but that was 2 years ago until I noticed that it would randomly crash out of a sudden at some point and I never managed to find the origin of the bug.

    @nitr8, Something like an USB Gecko would be extremely helpful for debugging. Not sure if there might be an IDA plugin which can do this wirelessly.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    That also was the reason why I never released it to the public. Which btw. is a shame because the game is basically "complete" and ready for release
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @nitr8, If you consider open-sourcing this, then I'm sure somebody could point out the bugs for you in the repository, such as walking through step-by-step on what it's doing.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I have 2 USB Gecko's. I'm using one for debug printout messages while I use the second one for realtime debugging within Eclipse where I make changes to the code

    @nitr8, Ah good, having two is always handy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Not sure why you'd want to, but it's a good thing at least.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    You need two if you want realtime-debugging AND debug printout at the same time. The problem is that GDB (the GNU debugger) needs a connection over a serial port while the other one also needs a connection over a serial port. You cannot send debugging commands and printout messages over the same port. It just wouldn't work. I've tested this.

    I should probably see if I can run this natively on a PC using the original commits where I pulled the code from. Basically the repository is the same but the commits were different when it comes to the main game code and the engine overlay...

    BTW: I saw you mentioned me in the link to the ROTT wall bug where a moving wall exits the game map.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    The original developers put an image into the code which would be shown once this bug happens. It's the one you see at the end of the video and it's also the same image I'm using as an avatar.

  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    Anyway, I hope BLOOD will finally make it's way onto the Wii. I ported DOOM, HERETIC, HEXEN, STRIFE, ROTT and HEXEN II before years ago. I simply cannot imagine that it's too hard to get the game
    running stable.

    oh hi SylverReZ
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    If I just had the chance to live-stream the running game on the Wii... :unsure:
