While you reply to krow, Two9A, When will you add the rest of the buttons on the DS?

I like Krow's enthusiasm in his sig.

It's good to see that people are excited by the prospect of this stuff actually working. Could be a while before it is, of course, but I don't mind that at all.

By those, I'm guessing you mean X/Y. There's a slight issue with those.. Nintendo decided not to map them into the standard Keys register, but on the second CPU. Why, I have no clue; the general concensus is that it's a strange decision. Hence, it could be some time before those work. (If you mean the touchscreen, that has the same root issue, being mapped onto the sub CPU.)

what buttons are L and R because a and b are z and x but i dont know the others

Er, I can't actually.. remember. Whatever they are, they should be the same as VBA's defaults. I really should do something about that key-input dialog box sometime.

He's a bit *too* enthusiastic in my opinion. But whatever.

I just wanted to say that I've been following the DS emulation scene since Day 1 and I've been very impressed with DSemu. The daily (or near-daily) updates, the quick responses online, it has all been very nice. I just decided to post my log file here to maybe help out a little bit. Below is my log after trying to load up first.bin (dovoto's demo) with LoadDS on (and also off) in dsemu.ini.

I also wanted to point out that I found the demo here: http://www.drunkencoders.com/ds/

 

I clicked the emulator friendly version and extracted the zip file.

 

That's it!

Good luck!

[Two9A]

Good luck!

It's great to see that you're interested in what's going on here, mate. It helps me to see what I do being commented and improved on by other people.

 

As regards first.bin, it's weird. Sometimes it runs on some boxes, and then it'll crash on the same boxes. And for some, it simply refuses to run. I'm guessing there's a certain memory blockage somewhere that I'm just not catching.

Fill1.bin has a problem. It loads up, then it pauses itself.

Pressing F4 changes it to Run for a microsecond and it goes back to pause. The log:

Here's the offset the error gives when you close a rom, before the emulator crashes. "5f14699b"

[sigloiv]

I'm going to compile and run DSemu on my old 900mhz Dell. If this is a hardware thing and not a performace thing (after all, you managed to get it to work on your old 700mhz box) I'll let you know. If not, I'll also let you know.

 

EDIT: I take it back. I didn't realize that the source code included only ran on Windows (duh!...win32 binary and source, not linux source) so I guess I won't be able to test it. I'll try to "borrow" one of my parent's computers for awhile, so don't give up hope.
