0.0.3a Testing

[NukeFall]

Well since robbbert hasnt posted one I will

 

Gba:

 

ahawk - Has gotten worse now its just the same as Rob's was in the last one i can no longer see anything

 

Copper Bars - Works

 

Around the World - Blank Screen

 

Arm Wrestler - All the Arm VSTE Tests are bad

 

Fill - Completly Works now!

 

FontDisp - Errors out now.

 

 

Ds:

2dexample_arm9a - Now the Touch screen thing works.

 

2d_Exapmple - Works but no touch screen thing

 

Arm Wrestler - Same as before itll just blank on some screens but you can continue

 

BattleShipDS - Title Screen then Freeze

 

Birds - White screen

 

Cube, Ship, Tri, Nibbles - Balnk Screen

 

Dsmode4dc - Text then nothing

Dsmode4ep - Text on top blue on bottom

 

Davr_arm9a - Random Text on top with a pink background nothing on bottom

 

Drops-arm9a - Blue top Black Bottom

 

Draw-Arm9a - White flash on top then blank

 

Dspaint - Text on top with info then 2 strips of odd color on bottom Freeze

 

First1 - Nothing on top cool lava thing on bottom

 

Mines_arm9 - Top screen greens out and the bottom blues out.

 

Mode6.nds.arm9 - Disco like dance floor on top blank on bottom

 

PandaForth - Blank top screen white bottom screen but i get texto both saying PandaForth by Torlus

 

PongDs - Title screen is a little messed up PLAYABLE but 2 bugs would be that it slightly blanks out going from top to bottom screen but i think its supposed to like the real DS. But when it hits this side > it blanks out part of the ball

 

Tetris 1p - Works Perfectly

 

Tetris 2p - Works great and i can change bottom screens colors

 

Tile02 - Text and stuff then Freeze

 

Sman - FLashes red and blue between the screens

 

Sman Touch - Blue messed up on the bottom

 

 

And those are all the demos i have. do the logs even matter?

 

Also any roms not mentioned here that ive mentioned before have not changed.

I've been asleep. I'll have a look after work, in about 12 hours from now.

FontDisp - Errors out now.

Thanks for the tests. The ARM v5 tests are bad because the GBA CPU is no longer an ARM v5. It's what it should be, an ARMv4. This extends to Fill1, since it employed an ARMv5 opcode to stop the CPU, which no longer gets executed. As for fontdisp, it's more a stop-working than an error-out (here, anyway); and it's my skills at SWI handling that're letting me down, I think.

Well whats odd is that it works perfectly on ds. Or is it two completly different CPU's that ye be talking about. Also are logs usefull in anyway?

 

Well in case there are i forgot to mention that Mario demo doesnt error anymore or have that huge repeating undefined thing.

 

Another one has though. Arm Wrestler has a bunch of them. Ds has this repeated

 

[20050403.21:21:56] COPRO: Read from cpF c0/c0 op 0/1 to r2

 

And GBA just has alot of undefiened opcodes. That might be caused by the whole ARMv4 thing. But you fixed the COPRO errors that the gba Arm Wrestler gave in 0.0.2g although the ones from the ds are still there.

Indeed so. The GBA has an ARM7 core now, whereas the DS has an ARM9.

[20050403.21:21:56] COPRO: Read from cpF c0/c0 op 0/1 to r2

Note that these aren't FAILs, just messages. Most of the time, you can safely ignore log messages until they are preceded by FAIL. I happen to like using the logfile to write out pertinent messages for debugging purposes; it's not all bad.

[NukeFall]

Yea but i showed that cause the GBA no longer shows that after youve made changes. It used to show that with 2g in the gba it showed it in the ds too. That also appears alot in the ones that mess up and not in the working.

Haven't tested new version of DSEmu (yet).

 

Anywho, I saw this on Dualis's Download page.

 

It's a document on the Graphics handling on the DS.

Might be useful for DSemu to look at.

New major version means I report on ALL roms

 

Firstly, I think something good was attempted and it didn't quite work out... drag a rom onto the EXE and it opens in DS mode, even for GBA roms... oops.

 

DS ROMS

 

2d_emu and 2dexample_arm9a : checkerboard at top, lava at bottom, cherries are missing

 

armwrestler.ds.arm9 and armwrestler.nds.arm9 : load in bottom screen, top is black. All tests pass OK.

 

battleshipDS : freezes at start

 

birds_arm9 : white screen

 

cube_emu, ship_emu, tri_emu, DSnibbles : black

 

DSmode4dc : text, no colours

 

DSmode4ep : text and blue screen

 

davr_arm9a : purple and black

 

drops_arm9 : blue and black

 

draw-arm9 : black

 

dspaint : bottom screen corrupt and no response

 

first1 : lava at bottom

 

lights : black

 

mines_arm9 : text appears, click on bottom and game appears, no further response

 

mines_arm9a : bottom is blue, click on top screen and it turns green, then no further response

 

mode6.nds.arm9 : black. when emu closed it crashes

 

pandaforth : keyboard missing and no response

 

pongDS : no change - same bugs (1) ball is square should be round (2) slows down to a crawl after first point (3) all text is missing including the scores (4) ball goes invisible near right side

 

tetris-1p : works, cannot change bg

 

tetris-2p : works, cannot change bg of top screen. use A and S keys for bottom screen

 

tile02 : starts then no response

 

under_pressure : text is missing

 

tetris.nds : runs, no text, 1fps. All other NDS roms crash.

 

Overall, no change from version 2g, except it all runs incredibly slowly.

 

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

 

GBA ROMS

 

ahawk : "list.cpp 43 memory error"

 

copperbars : works

fill1 : works (advance)

fontdisp : freezes during load (regression)

aroundtheworld and gbadevad : black

ht : works

maddness : freezes emu

 

At this point I was getting tired of the slowness. Task manager shows that DSemu takes 99% of the CPU at all times. The slowdowns make testing impossible.

 

This CPU hog problem, and speeds like 0.3fps needs to be fixed now as further tests are pointless.

You seem to be getting stressed.

 

There is a reason for the CPU hogging; it's doing work all the damn time. As for the 0.01fps, I dunno what the issue is there; I get about 10fps on a P3-600.

 

If you take particular issue with the slowdown and the buggy output, I'd suggest that you fix it. The emulator is opensource, after all.

only 10fps? im geting about 50 with limits and 70 without x_X. Also since you said testing on all roms ill update my first post. Even though i dont have all those demos itd be nice if you could say where your gettingt them from. The whole fps thing might not be a problem with the emulator as it is with the computer what type of comp do you have?

 

EDIT: Updated my first post with alot more demos. Also about cpu usage. If its the thing i have open at the time it takes up like 90% of my cpu but when i useo therr things it goes down to about 40-50% which is still pretty large considering most things take up like 2-3% of my cpu usage.

DSemu only takes up about 10k when running, I dunno why robbbert was having so much trouble.
