Homebrew Updates about nesDS...

[Deleted member 142963]

Is there a way to disable the shoulder buttons? I have a broken L button (My friend refurbished this DS and he lost one of the springs, so the L button tends to stick down like I'm holding it) and I can't really play any games because everything will randomly rewind.

I can't find a single setting anywhere to remap what the shoulder buttons do. It's really frustrating. Every single function should be remappable and there's no documentation or anything.

I can't figure out what happened to cause my LoZ rom to break. I try to start it up in the NesDS menu and get a black screen. Start+Select, open another game, then do the same to open LoZ. Only then will it play, and it has garbled graphics.

I've tried downloading a rom from a few different sites, tried downgrading NesDS to when it was working, deleting my sav, all without any luck.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix it? DX

What is 'LoZ'? Legend of Zelda?
I & II work well on my iDSL with R4SDHC. The fds ones work well too, but the saving is not supported now.

Yeah, I was talking about Legend of Zelda.
II works fine for me, but I is not working whatsoever.
and I'm using R4i-gold upgrade...

I updated mapper1 yesterday, you could wait for the next release. 0.53b. Maybe that's why I said they works fine.

Thanks again for the quick update.

I hope it starts working in the next release x3
Thank you for all your hard work

I will try to fix the 'save-states' in a later version.
'Wily & Light no Rockboard', I tried this game, stuck when playing. Something may be wrong with Mapper4.s...

When I see new release I wish you fixed Big Nose Freaks Out

I prefer to play using AB, not BY. It's anyoing that, I must every time whenI launh NesDS change input. Is it possible to save AB configuration?

Could you add reset to NesDS?

Touchscreen is not working perfect. Sometimes when i Press File, NesDS is directing me to Game. When I Press Settings it directs me Debug etc.

It already does.

Bignose Freaks Out is fixed, wait for the next release.
Try to adjust the 'Touchscreen' in the firmware settings of DS.

 

[Dann Woolf]

Is there a way to turn off the rewind function? Or could that be implemented in the next update?

 

[Dariusxq]

Many thanks for fixing Freaks Out! I very appreciate this. This game was very important for me

I found reset, what a shame i did't notice it earlier.

I calibrated touch screen in DS settings, but i have still trouble with touchscreen in NesDS.

I tried, but I don't know how to save AB input, I must change it from YB to AB every time I launch NesDS.

Thanks for everything one more time!

Do you have a screen protector on your touchscreen? If you do, that could very well be the problem. Even if the touchscreen seems to be perfectly fine for every other game you play, it could still be interfering. I had an issue like that with the old Genesis emulator and after I re-seated the screen protector, it was fine. Something you could try anyway....if you are using a protector.

Does this emulator use the faster processor on a DSi, when running in an iEvolution?

Suggestion: Have a graphics mode where all of the NES 256x224 pixels are shown, but since the DS screen is only 256x192, the user can use the L and R DS buttons to move the screen up and down to see all of it. (It is possible to change the display now, but it's not obvious how to pick "1 to 1 pixels" and you have to go into a menu to move it)

Second suggestion: Have a graphics mode where all of the NES 256x224 pixels are shown, but since the screen is only 256x192, 192 lines are shown on the top screen and 32 lines on the bottom screen.

1. Yes. DSi has a higher FPS if 'Fast forward' is active. When using 'All Pure-Soft', DSi is able to play at a lower 'Frame-Skip'. That's what someone told me before.
2. NES/FC on a TV shows 256x224, while emulators shows 256x240. I think the touch menu thing is good enough to shift/scale the screen.
3. Impossible. BUT, there is a way to show that way, that is: Show the graphic on top screen in one frame, then show it on sub-screen in the next frame. Over agian... I'am not sure if it flickers too much. But some game will not be shown correctly.

Since many of my current in-progress games depend on save-states, I guess I'll wait until this is fixed. Thanks!

 

[Rayder]

For the first time on a DS-based NES emulator (as far as I know), Rocket Ranger is now working! Excellent!

Whatever you did, it worked!

 

[WiiUBricker]

huiminghao, do you plan to improve SNEmulDS by any chance?

Is save state working fine in the current build (v0.53b)? iIt seems to work only some of the times for me, I am playing Legend of Zelda. So far I only tried activating it with touchscreen though, so I am not sure if I am not actually hitting the virtual button.... I plan on trying to setup shortcuts but just wanted to see if save state has known issues.

 

[Rayder]

Been messing around with some games in 53b and found a few that are having issues:

Demon Sword - garbled backgrounds
Rad Racer II - garbled background
Dragon Ninja - fails to load
High Speed - garbled graphics
Shinobi - garbled graphics on 2nd level (common issue from what I understand)

Not complaining or anything, just a few I noticed weren't working and thought I'd mention it.

Question/request...would it be possible to make the ini file save my custom screen scaling settings? I tried setting it the way I like it and telling it to save the ini file, but it always resets the next time I boot the emulator, forcing me to have to adjust the screen scaling again. Or maybe there is some other method of saving the screen scaling settings that I'm not aware of?
