*tests*

You have to play around with settings to get the best result. DKC1 ran 95% perfect except for some dodgey gfx glitch or something near the top of the screen.

Anyways try and insert your findings at:

[thegame07]

[jalapeno]

Dunno how you actually test the games, but alot of those games you listed as 'unplayable' are running perfect here.
As someone mentioned earlier, you have to play around with the settings. Mostly with 'wait vblank' and some of the speed hacks.

Also, i've played Super Metroid almost to the 2nd boss now. The only 'bugs' so far that i've encountered is some major slowdowns on particular areas with fogs/water etc. At those places you have to turn off vblank. First boss is also invisible after you hit him a few times so he rises from the ground (no layer mode fixed that), so you have to randomly shoot him till he dies. When you get the first suit, the game may appear like it freezes. But after around 20 sec, it continues normally... I love this crap

Super Metroid Runs perfectly, except I can never see my health. When I change the layer modes, I can see the health, but then nothing else. Turning off vBlank makes the whole screen flicker, but you get glimpses of the health bar. We still need control of layers, like in SnezziDS. You could have all the options now, plus another option where you manually change the priority of all the layers.

What ROM version/region you are using for Super Metroid because it freezes on me at the opening nintendo logo. :'(

That was answered like two pages ago... (JU) version.

 

[marko1986]

Thank you, this really works. I had some doubts, because last time I tried emulation on DS, it didn`t work.

I hope for more improvements in the future, and I am thankful to the author.

 

[Jdbye]

None of the Super Mario Kart versions go past the nintendo logo, i've tried J, U, E.

 

[eNforcer]

I did play around with the settings on each ROM I tested and posted the results as they were. All of them were (U) except for a few of them that I listed. So, I dunno.

 

[KirbyPink]

This is kinda wierd. During 0.3 i tried Megaman X. I first played trough the first stage. No problems , but some slight layer problems.

Now in Chill Penguin´s stage if you get into the cave, X won´t jump any high. Also after you get the capsule then die. You lose the leg part AND you start from the start.

Also now in 0.4 after the ride armor (Which i still can´t enter). If you pass it there is a blue thing which you need to break with the ride armor. If you SHOT it, you clear the stage ?

Then i ended up back at intro stage.

This was using the Ds-Xtreme latest uptade.

 

[Kenzya]

[Pedro UK]

Has anybody got LTTP working fully yet? I had it playing almost perfectly but when I get to the dungeon in the bottom of the castle and smacked the spinning mace guard bloke it just freezes...

 

[FAST6191]

@Pedro UK you know there was a (good) GBA port right?

My advice is try a different level of speed hack as sucessive ones tend to reduce stability.

Yeah, I know about the port. I own it! I just want to play it full screen size through an emu on my DSL - I'm a geek!

Tried the speed hack stuff but no dice. Also tried different roms.

Looks like I'll be waiting for the next release!
