Sprite Size Value Out Of Range (Error Code 106)?

[wojota_]

According to melonDS, the sprite size is "too large". I am on Windows, using BlocksDS and NFlib. This is a screenshot of melonDS:

And this is the code :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <nds.h>
#include <filesystem.h>
#include <nf_lib.h>
#include <nf_basic.h>
#include <nf_sprite256.h>
#include <nf_2d.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    consoleDemoInit();

    // Initialize NitroFS and set it as the root folder of the filesystem
    nitroFSInit(NULL);
    NF_SetRootFolder("NITROFS");

    //Sets up graphics display
    
    NF_Set2D(0, 0);
    NF_Set2D(1, 0);
    NF_InitSpriteBuffers();
    NF_InitSpriteSys(0, 128);
    NF_InitSpriteSys(1);

    //Loading graphics to RAM

    NF_LoadSpriteGfx("of40turret_-1", 0, 80, 80);
    NF_LoadSpriteGfx("of40turret_0", 1, 80, 80);
    NF_LoadSpriteGfx("of40turret_1", 2, 80, 80);
    NF_LoadSpriteGfx("of40turret_2", 3, 80, 80);
    NF_LoadSpriteGfx("of40hull", 4, 80, 80);
    NF_LoadSpritePal("of40turret", 0);
    NF_LoadSpritePal("of40hull", 1);

    //Loading graphics to VRAM

    NF_VramSpriteGfx(0, 1, 0, false);
    NF_VramSpriteGfx(0, 4, 1, false);
    NF_VramSpritePal(0, 0, 0);
    NF_VramSpritePal(0, 1, 1);

    //Creating sprite

    NF_CreateSprite(0, 0, 0, 0, 88, -58);
    NF_CreateSprite(0, 1, 1, 1, 88, -56);

    //Setting sprite

    NF_SpriteFrame(0, 0, 1);
    NF_SpriteFrame(0, 1, 1);
    NF_SpriteLayer(0, 0, 1);
    NF_SpriteLayer(0, 1, 2);

    while (1)
    {
        NF_SpriteOamSet(0);
        NF_SpriteOamSet(1);
        swiWaitForVBlank();
        oamUpdate(&oamMain);
        oamUpdate(&oamSub);
    }

    return 0;
}

I am trying to load an animated GFX which is 480 by 80 of which one "frame" is 80 by 80. If anyone has any suggestions then please feel free to reply. Thank you for all the help in advance.

Is 64 by 64 the maximum size for sprites?

Yes, nflib here refer to libnds data types.
Maximum sprite size is limited to objSize type, so 64x64 is max.
https://libnds.devkitpro.org/sprite_8h.html
I recall something like 3d sprites in nflib that allow to operate on larger bitmaps, there are some examples.

Yay! Time to do 3 days of work all over again.

You can try a different attempt, if you plan to use 80x80 object how about to use 4 sprites connected by edges.

The whole point of having it in one sprite was being able to rotate it.

Unless there are other methods which I have not heard of.
