[duderoo]

Loopy's updated his nesDS (8-bit Nintendo) emulator to work with DLDI!

Not enough space for patch. Available 16384 bytes, need 32768 bytes. Can't patch it. :/

I don't feel like trying this file..... looks suspicious for some reason, maybe someone can try it on an emulator

If my M3 Simply were still working I'd try it.

EDIT:

Suspicious? That's loopy's(the emulator's creator) official page... it's always looked like that.

 

[lagman]

Yeah, I realize that..now

Sorry, my mind is laggy today.

SNES DS was also given DLDI.

I havent been paying much attention for a few months. does this mean nesds can finally have savegame support?

My guess is yes. Savegame AND save state support as well as just dragging .nes files on your card instead of having to create a .nds file with the roms you want.

Is there someone who tried to patch this with g6 lite dldi 0.19 and got it to work? For me it says that it is not enough space.

Yup. Savestates and regular saves work just fine. The load screen as well as menu options are very nice.
It has full sound window stretch and runs at (afaict) full speed.

This is phenomenal news. Thanks, loopy!

Didn't NesDS already have all those features? Or am I just crazy o.O

But not in Slot-1 cards.

I have this problem with G6 DLDI v0.17 too.
I sent an email to Loopy asking him to fix the bug.

[loopy]

G6 bug should be fixed now. Redownload and try again...

Well you patch nesDS.nds with SCLite.dldi patch and it should work on your SCLite.

Ok, I'm trying it...it's perfect, the menu is beatiful, the games run smoothly a useful turbo button and there's even a rewind button

Just perfect.

Just perfect.

I don't know what emulator you're playing, but nesDS is far from perfect compared to some of the other emulators that exist.

That isn't to say that it's not great. Hell, it might even be the best NES emulation that's possible on a Nintendo DS. I played 4 games to test this out, and all of them had problems in the short span that I checked them out.

Mega Man 2 - Speed issues and some incorrect horizontal lines
Punch Out - Huge graphic glitches at the title screen and before a fight
Blades of Steel - No voices
Contra - Scrolling backgrounds don't display properly. They're darker than when they're still.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. These games are certainly playable and I think that loopy has done some awesome work on this project. But calling it "perfect" is wildly inaccurate.

When I change the settings (i.e. screen resizing, filtering, A/B button usage), it seems to be reverting to the defaults every time I reboot (using an R4, DLDI-patched).
