Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! Thank You, Super Card Team. Also big shout out to the great NEBULEON for taking this project under his belt. BTW I'll do extensive testing of this as well just like i did W CATSFC.
Hell, I've bought 1 DSTWO, 2 DSOnei, 1 DSOnei Mini, and 1 Supercard Lite from them, and I never got a response. I had a feeling that it would take someone that can actually speak the company's native language......or in this case, someone who "google translate it".

I doubt that was the case. I believe it was the time since it's release and Nebuleon's work on the SNES emulator as a example of his skills has allowed him to be noticed by the SC community.
Not really, CATSFC exists since years and not once has the supercard team acknowledged the skills of BaseAssGold and ShadouCats (or whatever his name is).
I don't really know what got them to reply. Maybe it's a combination of Chinese, mutual respect and proved skills. Maybe it's just asking with a clear goal in mind. Either way, it got me something.
1) Yes. I'm using the code of NDSGBA 1.21 as a base, but heavily trimming it.Also, (hopefully) before anybody asks these questions:
1) Will any of the code from NDSGBA 1.21 be able to be incorporated into TempGBA without having to rewrite major amounts of code??? (Not my own question, but I know someone will ask, so let's get it out of the way.)
2) Because this emulator was a port, is the code written in "normal" languages (C++, C#, Python, etc), or was it made with the Supercard DSTWO SDK.
3) When will TempGBA be released??? (just kidding
It will be released when at least a few improvements have been copied from CATSFC, no sooner. Else it's just NDSGBA 1.21.
Would one of those improvements be full button mapping so that Y=B and B=A?I don't really know what got them to reply. Maybe it's a combination of Chinese, mutual respect and proved skills. Maybe it's just asking with a clear goal in mind. Either way, it got me something.
Last night I hurriedly removed some uC/OS code, but I don't think I correctly changed all the gba_screen references to UP_SCREEN. Also, I hurriedly added a ds2_main function which contained an audio init call of 256 samples at 44100 kHz. I don't think it will work correctly until I correct these values. I'll need to iteratively test this.
1) Yes. I'm using the code of NDSGBA 1.21 as a base, but heavily trimming it.
2) The Supercard DSTwo SDK is just a set of libraries, i.e. pre-written code you can call from your code. It is written in C, and so is NDSGBA 1.21.
3)
Normmatt also has an idea for emulation speedup: "only the Div and DivARM bios methods are HLE [high-level emulation], enabling the others and implementing the other common bios methods in HLE should provide some speedup" - that remains to be seen
Once I'm done with most of the CATSFC changes, I will look at adding global button mappings and game-specific button mappings, akin to the global/game hotkeys, for A, B, L, R, Start and Select.
