Testing of Dsemu 0.4.3


Test Results - changes from 0.4.2 will have (*) after them.
There will be no indication where the only difference is the top screen works again.

A major bug has resurfaced - when Close is selected, the emu crashes. Same happens if you open a new demo while another one is running.

Summary:
1. Close causes a crash. This plagued two9a for ages, see if you can fix it.
2. Huge increase in stability, only a few NDS demos cause a freeze now.
3. A few demos have the screens swapped around.


Tried a couple of basic GBA demos - instant crash.

Hopes it goes well with the emulator

Look forward for future releases.

New version up, DSEmu 0.4.4

http://www.double.co.nz/nintendo_ds/dsemu.html

This adds support for keyboard interrupts and implements timers on the ARM7 and ARM9. I also did a pile of fixes to the way interrupts are handled again, enabling my code for tutorial 8 to work on DSEmu. Currently it's the only emulator that seems to successfully run that tutorial.

hmmm...i'll have to test the new version when i get back home...
