Only a 3dsx file, is there a way to make it a CIA????

 

[djleviticus]

When I load ZXDS only half the top screen works, I then press home, then resume and then its fine. Weird.

Same problem in my o3dsxl. The screen is compressed at the left side.

 

[djleviticus]

If you press the home button on the 3dsxl then choose resume it sorts it self out

V2.0.1 has been released.

Changelog:
* Fix top screen issues of 2DS and 3DS XL models by slowing the LCD display differently. Thanks Nige.
* Disabled turning off of bottom screen backlight on 2DS as for some reason it affects both screens.
* The optional ZL and ZR buttons are now bound to quick load and quick save actions, respectively.
* Considerably increased speed of scanning directories.
* Few more subtle changes (async file flush, display speed adjustment only at normal speed).

 

[djleviticus]

Yep all good now, cheers

Raxoft has updated ZXDS to v2.0.2:

ZXDS 2.0.2 (13.4.2020)

+ Created lists for ZXDB entry in servers.cfg.
* Fixed downloading from HTTPS sites by detecting non-standard EOF properly.
! Happy Easter.

Thanks for that info

This is great. Thank you.
With this one we are getting very close to having all the important old systems emulated now. Or perhaps we are already there?
Recently added were smoothly running emulators of Original Playstation, Commodore C64 + Amiga, Nintendo 64, and now ZX.
Great progress for an "unsupported" system!

Yes, nice job. Very nice job.
Made a cia, as this is now my favourite Speccy emulator on any platform.
I’m a stickler for tradition and load my games with a LOAD “” and use the media tape options for that nostalgic feel.

Please could you post the cia? Would be much appreciated- Cheers

Even better for you is to do it yourself for this and any other 3dsx with this really easy to use tool.

Just extract, copy the 3dsx file into the input directory, run the Start_Converting.bat and voila the cia will be in the output folder.

 

[fusermarucs]

Great stuff thank you!

 

[SLiV3R]

Perhaps a CIA in the next release?

 

[ber71]

It seems that a new release is out

 

[arquillos]

Yep!

ZXDS 2.1.1 (24.12.2020)

+ Added experimental barebone .cia binary. Use entirely at your own risk.
* ZXDS now refuses to run if it can't find its installation directory to prevent incomplete installation.
* Fix for proper rollback of media in case the user truncated it afterwards.

hmm I installed the cia but nothing is popping up on my HOME menu. Even after restarting. This is the first time it's ever happened to me.

 

[UltraSyko]

Okay, I see the problem. I think it's Title ID or ticket is clashing with another app I have. Dunno if I can change it or something to have both. I found it installed in a folder that overwritten a cia

EDIT: Okay it just overwrote some FNAF 3DS homebrew port. I don't care for that. This is a great interface. Just wish it had a 3DS banner for the Home Menu.
