Homebrew Updates about nesDS...

[VentusVanitas]

Does FFVII nes english patch work on the latest ones?

 

[gothicall]

Hmmm...

I love this Gif

Dodge Danpei was the best game in the Nes's history. Since NesDX this Rom doesn't work... Please fix it!

Myke Tyson's Punchout has a glitchy intro and one of the characters is a pixelated mess.

A few of the characters are glitched, and it gets worse as you go along.
Also, the timer is (was?) fast.

Soo... libnds = possible upcoming argv support?

RSS feeds are handy tools xD.

Thanks again for the update!

Two small suggestions:
1). Can nesDS look for the INI file in the directory it's run from?
-- simply removing the "/" with a hex editor* appears to work, so the same should work with the source.
2). Can you add a 'Start In' folder for browsing the INI file? (like StartIn=/nesDS)



*Add a "00" hex byte after the "nesDS.ini" to retain the file length.

Can you give us a list of all possible commands for the .ini? I'm not sure if all are included within the default configuration.

Also, by /nesds.ini, you mean that the .ini should be in the root of the card, right? NOT in the same location as the NESDS.nds.

The .ini lists all the possible options... If you want to add something, you need to change the source code..
This file MUST be placed in the root "/".
Although "R & L" is possible for short-cuts, but not recommended in the version...

okay, this is very good.
The reason I ask about the location of the .ini is that on the DSTWO flashcart if you had to put it in the same directory as nesds.nds it would overwrite a DSTWO-specific .ini file that links a program with an image, and the nesds would have a ?, making it harder to see where it is.

Sorry man. The ini file does NOT support 'String value'. so...
Maybe I/someone will re-write the program that loading the '.ini' file...

A 'global' solution I think would be to change "/nesDS.ini" to "nesDS.cfg".
This will allow the file to 'follow' the NDS file and not conflict with the DSTwo's Plugin.
INI, CFG, DAT, TXT, doesn't matter, only the contents does.

I like TyRaNtM's idea better... /DATA/nesDS.ini

@huiminghao:
I think that will be better if you change sd:/nesds.ini to sd:/DATA/nesds.ini .
Why? Because some homebrews uses DATA folder as .ini folder.
Also, will be good, because another homebrews uses root as .ini file folder, and is better to keep the root folder clean.

BTW, Is Paperboy (1), working fine?

2. Possibly it's easy.

1. What flashcart are you using?
I mean, does it support ARGV?
huiminghao uses R4SDHC, which requires hbmenu or x***file to set ARGV.
Well I can lock out reading ini if there isn't ARGV, but it shouldn't be good I think.

Or I can use /moonshl2/extlink/nesDS.ini?

Thanks for all the updates. The touch interface is much more responsive now. I noticed when you take the DS out of sleep mode while running nesDS the screen, sound and power light cycle 3 times before resuming normal function. This isn't a big deal, but I thought I would let you know. Is it possible for you to add a default rom folder option to the INI file?

 

[YayMii]

Just wondering (since I'm hesitant to update to the DSi-mode-compatible versions):
Do the new versions still support saving?

If you don't mind grabbing the source and compile it yourself, open romloader.c and scroll down to Line 341.
Change all the "/nesDS.ini" to "/DATA/nesDS.ini", compile and enjoy. Works wonder

Here's one that uses /DATA/nesDS.ini: http://www.mediafire.com/?2suxs59v7o1q8oh

Oh... libnds did the 'Sleep' thing... I can re-write the sleep function, BUT I dont want to...
Maybe the ARM7 is sleeping deeply, it can not return to normal state too fast.....
