Sandbox Engine DSi-Hybrid

Download: Sandbox Engine DSi-Hybrid (Current Version: v1.0.4)

i decided to start from scratch, using only devkitARM/libnds, spawning this newer version, Sandbox Engine DSi-Hybrid, the successor to SandboxEngine DS-Classic [formerly known as SandboxEngine DS-DSi].

tested on DSi Sudokuhax v1.1
no$GBA & DesmuMe emu's

 

[coen22]

Awesome!

Maybe you could use the source of wolveslayer in your engine for some effects

 

[Nujui]

How is the framerate different in the two modes? I'm guessing dsi mode is faster.

 

[8BitWalugi]

Any other DSi features?

 

[DryYoshi]

That's pretty sweet.
3D GTA DS FTW!

 

[4-leaf-clover]

Awesome!

 

[zombymario]

Wow, a sandbox homebrew for DS(i)? Man, that's just awsome. Can't wait to try it (downloading it right now).

 

[mechagouki]

Downloaded it - will test on my Sudokuhax enabled XL later today.

 

[Deleted User]

FPS: 0?

 

[Sausage Head]

it's a still image, so no frames get updated

 

[Deesotilio]

I'll give this a shot. Doesn't look like there's much going on at the moment, but I love to check out works in progress

EDIT, to avoid a double post: Pretty neat little area, and nice graphics. A little wonky with no collision checking, but it's cool. Makes me realize how much I really need to open up my DSi and clean out my L and R buttons, though. Also, tell that cop I think he's a dick

 

[The Catboy]

Seems rather interesting. I shall follow this project and offer as much help as I can

 

[indask8]

I tried it's really good for a start.

(I laughed when I saw the hummer, it runs really really fast

).

Who's the guy on the picture inside the house? ^^

 

[tommzy2]

terry

you never gave up on this.

i still have the first version you ever made on my old pc

by the way, its Tommy

well good luck on the project.

 

[Bunie]

the name "sandbox" makes me think of Crysis. you should remake Crysis with this project xD. I know that would be "Impossible", but you could do the whole Armor, Invis, strength, etc. meh, i talk to much. I noticed your water appears to be a large rotating square lol. and by large i mean LARGE! The picture on the desk is also sort of high-res for a DS. Sorry if this sounds like criticism! It's rare to see something as cool as this, and i really want its development to continue!

 

[T3GZdev]

That's pretty sweet.
3D GTA DS FTW!

actually everything begined with me trying to make a gta like game on the DS. when chinatown was released, i wasnt that into the graphics style , i mean the game was awesome but i was expecting it to be like the 3d ones, so i decided to start working on a project called GTA 3DS.(lol not for the actual Nintendo 3DS but as in gta 3 3d for ds). it was trying to make gta 3 for ds, which i have vids of the project here.

more vids on the channel
gta 3ds eventually became a demo(develoupment paused) for now & started working on Sandbox Engine DS(DS-DSi now), & other homebrews

so yes im also working on GTA 3DS. its just the development has been paused becouse of sandbox engine, & 2 other titles im announcing soon.

[tommzy2]

good to see that you haven't given up.

 

[mechagouki]

Worked great for me via Sudokuhax, program confirmed DSi mode on screen, everything moved fast (maybe too fast) and smooth - looking forward to seeing where this goes next.
