Large modifications demand a number change, so welcome to version 0.0.3. Firstly some relatively minor things. I changed the MMU to actually register waitstates with the clock, instead of just adding them to some useless variable; you should notice a little speedup. Also, I've modified the way SWI waits are handled, so they require acknowledgement before they can continue.

 

Moving up, I've moved the child window creation and handling from the main executable into the seperate DLLs. It was getting ridiculously unwieldy, and starting to clutter up the DLL vTable with entries that could be removed with a small redesign. There may still be a few bugs with the new child window handling; if you come across any, do let me know.

 

Some of you have commented that the emu has purported to load.NDS files for some time, without actually being able to interpret the header structure. Well, now the DS core can load the seperate CPU executables into their right places and start executing them. I'll leave you to see what loading two binaries means, but just note; it's bugged to high heck, and is unlikely to work in almost all cases.

iDeaS emulator 1.0.0.1  31-03-2005

 

This is the second release of iDeaS 1.0.0.1, now run the 3d demos.

 

Fixed bugs in matrix stacks.

Now the irq routines for ARM7 run.

Fixed bug in write palette memory.

A few bios functions are emulated.

 

To load a demo on iDeaS open the dialog Open and load in a strictly order 2 files, first you have to choose the arm9 executable file then the arm7 file.

If you don't load the second file (arm7 file) the arm7 code will be disabled.

The arm9 binary will be loaded at the address 0x2004000, the arm7 binary at 0x2380000
