Homebrew [QUESTION] GBA Emulator with DSiWareHax

[bennyman123abc]

Hello again! I have a question about DSiWareHax and emulators with DSiWareHax. My question is whether or not there are any GBA emulators that work with DSiWareHax. I tried GBARunner2 and I was greeted with a screen that said, "TEST", and then my DSi presuming to hang. I don't think GBARunner2 works with DSiWareHax however, it might also be my dodgy homebrew compiling setup. I will give the emulator, gbaemu4ds, a shot and come back with those results. However, if there are any other emulators that may work with DSiWareHax, please let me know. Thanks for reading and as always, happy hacking!

You need RocketLauncher in order to run GBARunner2.

RocketLauncher isn't released yet, is it?

Nope.

You need to be using the arm7 build of GBARunner2 to be able to use the DSi SD card. I believe it's just a case of toggling a #define in one of the source files.

Now the question is, which source file?

Take a look at the repository of course.

But if I were to guess, it'd be the #define ARM7_DLDI macro in /common/common_defs.s. The one that was edited last in the commit "Disable ARM7_DLDI by default"

Thanks! I removed the commented out part and I will try rebuilding

Ok so, it just hangs with a different message this time. The new message says "DIFF". Could @Gericom perhaps shed some light on this thread?

It will not work with arm7 SCFG locked.

bennyman123abc says he's using DSiWareHax, surely that means SD access is possible?

 

[bennyman123abc]

I have HBMenu running so, SD access is possible.

Not how GBARunner2 does, in fact it needs of nds-bootstrap to set the dldi driver in arm7, but it is locked by the launcher on boot. That is why it requires RocketLauncher.
