a long list for nds development (mainly obsolete stuff)

[Deleted member 591971]

alright, i wasted my time investigating all of this, there are some spanish resources, they are not verified, they maybe obsolete, not longer work or use even PAlib (they may help) lol.

this spanish website just has a ton of stuff: https://nds.scenebeta.com/

First we need a programming language, right? https://gbatemp.net/threads/attempt...amming-languages-available-for-the-ds.357792/ (i linked this or else the list will just be huge)
Libraries:

Graphics:
libNDS (already included in the devkitPro nds-dev package)
NFlib guides (the best lib for development)
https://github.com/knightfox75/nds_nflib
https://akbatten.com/nds.php


I was about put PA2lib but i remember that the lib is work in progress lol
libGL2D (already included in libnds but the link includes a guide) http://rel.phatcode.net/junk.php?id=117
N3lib: A unknown lib made by the same creator of NFlib, it does 3D stuff. https://sourceforge.net/projects/n3lib/
Obsolete graphics libraries:
PAlib (my worst enemy, i am going to put some stuff because it can be useful for some people)
don't know how to write + didn't test https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/ΜLibrary

Sound libraries:
MaxMod https://maxmod.devkitpro.org/ (i think it has a guide on the download website, not too sure)
ASlib (does not work on modern libnds) https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Advanced_Sound_Library
NFlib's built in sound system.

Lets say that I wasted my 40 min of the weekend not studying but making this, at 3am

While it is more of the GBA then enough of it is similar to the DS that I include it anyway

Interesting link for some
https://blog.quirk.es/2008/12/things-you-never-wanted-to-know-about.html

https://gbatemp.net/threads/attempt...amming-languages-available-for-the-ds.357792/ might also be of some interest, though devkitpro/devkitarm and palib along with lua account for most things people are going to want to use in anger.

i added something to the nflib guides, i think it is obsolete and it is on spanish but whatever.

 

[Deleted member 636089]
