  1. oh yeah, as for the GBA_MP not working anymore on GBA,

    that depends on which firmware version you used from chism...

    If you used v1, you'll need a boot_mp.gba on your GBAMP to make it working again. You're better off using v2 of his firmware.

    Even then, I expected the GBA_MP could be used to fix the corrupted Flashme'd firmware on the DS....

  2. ?

    the flashme fix isn't a crack to run mariokart;

     

    it's an updated version of flashme that doesn't conflict with mario kart.

    Previous versions of flashme would get partially overwritten because mariokart saves wifi settings in the same space, meaning you'd have to reflash your ds after playing mario kart. This problem is solved in newer versions of flashme.

  3. [...]then the psx and the n64 were at war (before dreamcast), and the psx ran media that had more space, ran compact discs (which allowed blue and red book audio), yet the N64 had better graphics[...]

     

    it had?

    You know, I've heard a lot of people say that, but I don't know if this was always true....

    Maybe it has to do with what the developers made for it (and who made it), but for example, comparing ridge racer 64 with ridge racer type 4, I find r4 to be easily the best looking of the two... I guess because of the higher polygon car models and superior lighting.

    However, Conker's BFD looks quite excellent.

  4. warning =P

     

    I tried to save to a disk image with this emulator, and I can't recommend that; it saved the disk with the same name as the emulator and this quite messed up the compact flash card's file system, so I had to format it =P

    So, if you try this emulator, maybe it's better to not try saving to disk....

  5. get a DS or GBA and a GBA movieplayer + CF card;

    even when using just the GBA part of it you can already play the nearly entire NES and GB (classic, not color) libraries of games.

     

    (ironically I got a GBAMP and flashme'd my DS and all but what I'm using most is Goomba, the classic GB emulator which works in GBA mode)

  6. Did some testing (with a GBAMP):

     

    The modified 0.02b that was posted about here by oshisama yesterday, has a much easier interface and supports subdirectories on the GBAMP (and M3) properly, unlike this version. However, this one has more features and a few improvements, such as better sound, and a (very early, as the calibration is off) touch screen keyboard.

     

    How to set it up:

    With both versions of fMSXDS, you need to put the MSX BIOS roms in the root directory of your CF card.

    Modified 0.02B can run game roms/disks from subdirectories, fMSXDS 0.03 can't, so you'd have to put everything in the root dir (which looks a bit messy when you're using multiboot).

    I just use DSLinux for some file management on the CF card; when I want to play a game on fmsxDS 0.03 I copy it to the root of the gbamp with DSLinux (the root shows up as the "gbamp" directory in DSLinux; if the root dir gets too messy with all the MSX rom/disk files, you can delete/move files with DSLinux - no need to put the CF card in your PC all the time that way :P

     

    Addition: both versions don't like long file names; use 8.3 instead (fmsx 0.02b modified will show long filenames, but that doesn't mean it boots them).

     

    Bottom line: 0.02b modified is easier to use, 0.03 has better emulation.

     

    Of course in the (near) future new versions might (and hopefully will be) released that improve on these aspects.

  7. for the slimline I use 2 tiny pieces of plastic and swapmagic 3.6... works like a charm, though some people reported the tiny plastic pieces didnt work for them and they used a fliptop instead. Also heard that it doesn't work with the new silver version (maybe by now someone's fixed that, don't know).
