Load a demo

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

- 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.

 

 

What is really emulated

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

- arm7 and arm9 processors with the exception of some of the opcodes of arm9.

- A few the arm7 calls to bios are  emulated.

- All two the screens are emulated and give all the 3d output and gba output,

  naturally with big limitations.

- The touch screen works but only with the adc sets to 12 bits.

- The Real Time Clock is summary emulated.

DSEmu v0.0.3c Released!

Saturday, 9th April 2005

So it seems that the screen-flip implementation in.3b was immensely buggy; maybe the bottom screen moved to the top, but it happened all the time, and what should be on the bottom screen went missing. It turns out I was using a subtract instead of an XOR to flip. A small thing, makes quite a difference. Flip should work fine now.

 

Interface issues, and I mentioned that Normmatt had a config editor ready to go. Well, it was still in Visual Basic, and under the GPL, so I ended up only taking a general inspiration from its layout. The editor is available on the new Options menu; try it out.

Here is an update by Scull at the Ninphin site:

It's been 1 year now, since I slowly started to lose interest in the project. Since the last update there has been no progress and a lot in my life has changed. Honestly, I stopped coding at all.

Ninphin was never planned to be dead before it's release.

But though, I will release parts of the source code once I get some time. But at least, I learned a lot while coding it and met cool people. I don't have anything more to say. Sorry for those who waited for nothing.

 

- Scull

There were no releases of any sort and only a handful of screenshots but it's always a sad thing when an emulator is discontinued.
