Hacking Supercard DStwo plug-ins

[Muffin_Mistress]

I see that only DSL, (Lite?) and DSi are listed. What about the DSi XL?

Thanks.

I think it's because what ever works on the dsi will also work on the XL...with the exception of the NES emulator

I think it's because what ever works on the dsi will also work on the XL...with the exception of the NES emulator

Exactly - IIRC the DSL hardware is basically the same as a DSPhat's while the DSi hardware is virtually the same as a DSi XL (except it has come to light that the DSiXL may have a 'special' fixed screen refresh rate [post #356 has more info about this] - which is why the NES emulator(s) can cause screen damage)

Also @ the time when I started doing plugins (& testing them) I only had/have a DSL and DSi to test with
& since only some worked on a DSL & not the DSi (this was pre-v1.03 eos BTW) I wanted an 'easy' way to let alidsl know which homebrew worked on which system, hence the [DSL/DSi] stuff. 'alidsl' must've thought it was a good idea & so included it into the first post

Since eos v1.03 though I believe the homebrew support has greatly improved - I've yet to come across any homebrew that doesn't work on a dsi - so basically you can say virtually all Homebrew will now work on either DSPhat/DSL/DSi and DSiXL EXCEPT for a couple that MAY cause damage on the DSi XL due to this screen refresh business

@ Vatoloco: 'Take the Eggs' link seems dead - here's another link

Feexed eet! Thanks for the heads-up, Cannonfodder =)
i hadnt even noticed i'd left a mediafire link up, i was aiming for all filetrip links.
hmm, i think im gonna go through and try to make prog links do the rest of the icons ive built.

btw, Cannon, i really like the visual and explanation you posted on common causes for plugs not showing up, it will help a lot of ppl =)



edit: just added book #5 of the LoneWolf series, ShadowOnTheSand

 

[CannonFoddr]

Thanks - that's what I was hoping for... since I've seen so many threads about plugin not working

I think it's so good I've even stuck it on the Wiki

- although I have found one small alteration that I think is needed

IF the 'ini' is missing or is not the EXACT same name as the nds file you'll get the orange ' ?'

With TunaVids (on DSi) I get an error "couldn't allocate file buffer" and it won't start.
Is this a plugin related error or did I do something wrong?
I put the plugin files and the .nds file in the _dstwoplug folder, there was nothing else in the package.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

 

[alidsl]

Has anyone else had that problem with DSi?

It hasn't been tested yet so it's a possibility it doesn't work, can anyone else can confirm this please?

(Thus contradicting Cannonfoddr's statement

)

Okay, thanks you two. I appreciate the replies.

Now, since the XL has this screen refresh problem thingy, does this mean I have to be careful about which plug-ins I use? And only plug-ins? Do I also have to be careful about which roms I use?

Thanks again.

With TunaVids (on DSi) I get an error "couldn't allocate file buffer" and it won't start.

Yep - I'm getting the same thing - but I did notice something else - it also says 'TunaVids for Moonshell' as well
So I'm guessing that whoever supplied the link for TunaVid program has supplied the wrong one

However there may be a work around

• Download this Tunavid
• Extract 'tuna-open.nds' into '/_dstwoplug/' folder
• Extract 'tuna-vid.nds' to the root
• RENAME the 'Tuna-vid.ini' to 'Tuna-open.ini'
• Place an AVI anywhere you like

Note that you MAY need to convert your videos into a suitable AVI format - Info can be found here

I haven't actually tried converting a video to AVI using FFMPEG (I tried a couple other methods though)
On one attempt (using 'Super C') - I got as far as selecting a AVI but then it faulted out for 'Not enough video data'
On the second attempt (using tunebite) - I got a message stating 'Not 256px wide' but the program DID start & attempted to play the video - just that it was 'corrupted' on playback

EDIT: Found out I did something wrong on my Second Encoding attempt - tried again, but this time the video WAS 256x192 - & it worked !!!

 

[Demonbart]

Thanks

 

[CannonFoddr]

That's OK, hope it works for you (you may've missed my Edit above)

Anyway - I've also noticed that the 'icon' graphics wasn't properly done either (no Border around it), so I've updated the original Tunavid Plugin so that you don't need to rename 'tuna-vid.ini' to 'tunavid-open.ini' etc (Installation instruction included in new plugin)

Tuna-Vid (Multimedia): Plugin / Program [DSL/DSi] Note: Videos MUST be AVI & 256x192 in size

p.s. I've also added new plugin to Wiki & altered the program link to 'proper' Tuna-vid version on the older one as well

 

[VatoLoco]

i was just messing with tuna vids earlier this week.
i havent tried the sc2 plug-in yet, but for me i was only able to get the moonshell version running good, the stand-alones video output was super slow-mo for some reason.


edit: FYI, for user convenience ive just updated teh VatoPacks to include program links (via text documents) for every plugin, separated by category (3Dshooters, Apps, Arcade, Emulators, Games, Media/internet)

 

[RoMee]

can someone make a new SNES icon..pretty plz
I hate that "SFC" in the pic
and instead of saying NDSSFC, can someone name it SNES Emulator..like the GBA Emulator

thanks in advance

 

[VatoLoco]

did one for ya. heres a
NDSSFC alternate icon

alidsl, this one is for the community pack=)
i dont feel like messing about with updating the LocoPack for the moment heh

cannonfoddr, i added it to the wiki, too. i didnt put it in alpha order, i put it w/the rest of the snes emulators. feel free to move it or whatnot =)

 

[RoMee]

awesome, thanks vatoloco, it's exactly what I wanted
