Hacking TempGBA: NDSGBA revival

[holakingkong]

I have no idea what happened there. The limit for the file browser is 512, which is more than 103. However, I don't know how the emulator reacts to 103 folders as opposed to 103 files.

okay i will try to place all game in one folder
thanks

anyway can tempgba use cheat ? i try to active cheat and get meditation guru in lower screen

Cheat support is... I don't know. Probably bad. It's the very same code as in NDSGBA 1.21, I just copy-pasted it in a few months back. I have just been really busy with improving the core, with Exophase's unreleased source as a base.

Exophase has unreleased source for gpSP, you mean he's continuing to work on it and improving it?
Sounds like his work and your work are paving the way for an even better gpSP, which could be brought forward to many other systems.

He has unreleased source because he was working on improving it, but suddenly stopped caring. I have his last source directory, but he said there were many experimental things in it. He should not be considered a current coder on the project.

Who needs exophase we've got Nebuleon!

Careful there, Exophase did create gpSP from scratch; I would not have the skill required to make an emulator.

TempGBA Beta 15, the Second Compatibility Edition, is now available.

In this release:

• "Prefetch patched" versions of the Classic NES games might work. The clean ROMs will not work because gpSP does not emulate the ARM prefetch queue, and the Classic NES games detect emulators this way.
• Self-modifying code is now reused instead of being constantly wasted, in case the game rewrites the same code at the same place again. Even more detailed statistics are present about this in /Tools/Debugging (in English only).
  • Golden Sun 2 is sped up 80%. This eliminates most sound crackling at frameskip 1 and 396 MHz, especially in the Kandorean Temple.
  • Golden Sun is sped up 50%. This eliminates almost all sound crackling at frameskip 0 and 360 MHz.
  • Doom II is sped up 10%. It still crackles and lags at 396 MHz. Its bottleneck is video.
  • Duke Nukem Advance is sped up 30%. This raises the frame rate in more complex areas with lots of polygons. It still crackles and lags at 396 MHz.
  • Mario Tennis is sped up 120%. This makes the game almost flawless at frameskip 0 and 360 MHz.
  • Mario Golf is probably sped up as well.
• 3 rewind steps are gone. This brings the number to 7.

Here's the download link for the prefetch patches for Classic NES games. Please test them a bit.

I noticed that in the recently played list the most recently played game is at the bottom of the list rather than the top. Would it be possible to change this so the most recently payed game is at the top or at least make it a configuration option?

Thanks a lot for your testing; with that list I'll probably be able to narrow down the bug more effectively.

Wait... Do you mean they malfunctioned BEFORE beta 14, and now in beta 15 they still malfunction but put out a Guru Meditation instead?

Looks like Final Fantasy VI crashes right after the language selection, or right away if there's no language selection. This will be easier to use during the narrowing-down. I'll have the cause and maybe a fix in an hour.

 

[Deleted member 319809]

It's been an hour. I can only say this: "Native block header". I'm still trying to figure out what gpSP does with the header.

accurate, malfunctioned before but now give that error and hang the machine

but the other 3 I posted before did not work and now if that work

We can wait until it will be fixed, so don't worry and thanks for the info
