After many weeks in development, we finally bring you an eXclusive 1Emulation Review of the R4DS Flashcard!

Review Author(s): GameCop, Mooney, and iq_132

Currently, the most popular slot-1 solution is the R4DS flashcard. Developed in China, it has become notorious for its capabilities and cheap price compared to its predecessor, the DS-Xtreme (retail value: $100). The R4DS also uses the removable microSD card as its choice of memory instead of onboard memory. So can the R4DS pass the 1Emulation test? Let’s find out!

Source Changes

-----------------------

Added actual emulation of the microcontroller used for the Namco 50xx chip as found in Bosconian and Xevious. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

In the COp420 core, fixed the XABR opcode, added LBI skip for extended opcodes, and fixed the CPU name in save states. Added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to the Cidelsa games. Draco still has no sound though. [Curt Coder]

 

Fixed crash in playch10 driver when run standalone. [Curt Coder]

 

Added skeleton driver for Konami Viper system. [Ville Linde]

 

Added skeleton driver for Dreamcast-based systems.

 

Added very preliminary SH4 CPU core. [R. Belmont]

 

Added DIP locations to the mario, mrdo, sheriff, and spacefb drivers. [Justin Szczap]

 

Added debug attribute to the XML output. [Firewave]

 

Got the Hang Pilot driver working. The analog controls are still missing, however, so it's still marked as non-working. [Ville Linde]

 

Fixed crash with multithreaded rendering and the graphics viewer. [Couriersud]

 

Improved the NWK-TR driver to get Thrill Drive mostly working. [Ville Linde]

 

Fixed bug that caused video glitches when frameskipping due to using out of sync textures. [Nathan Woods]

 

Updated video timing in the Sega System 16, Hang On, Out Run, and X-Board games according to measurements from the boards. [Aaron Giles]

 

Substantially changed the TMS340x0 interfaces to allow the CPU emulator to directly manage the video screen. Glitches in several games are now fixed as a result (for example the flashing screens in NBA Jam are now gone at last). [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed internal timer counting in the TMS32025 core. This makes the music in Cool Pool and 9 Ball Shootout bearable. [Aaron Giles]
