Homebrew WIP DeSmuME-NX (w/Laprox's Vertical Mod) [DS Emulator]

[Laprox]

DeSmuME-NX (w/Laprox's Vertical Mod)

The original porter MasterFeizz, has been inactive for quite some time: I thought I'd maybe help spark some interest back into the project.

OFFICIALLY DEAD!!!​

Update: ROMs booting in normal mode, crashing in vertical mode: multi-threading is still broken, so is sound, that uses it. Thank you to Jpe230 for debugging a hidden SDL2 font error, that prevented ROMs booting (Don't ask, I have no idea how it did this, but it did). Compiled with LibNX[1.4.1].

Update: due to the latest release of LibNX[1.4.0], the newest unreleased versions of DeSmuME-NX will fail to boot ROMs. I had trouble compiling on the latest version, after workarounds, a few changes to the code and a different compiler version: I was able to get a bootable application, but because of multi-threading now being broken, it fails to boot a ROM.


Update: the original porter has removed the repository from their GitHub page!


Update: as it appears the original porter has abandoned the project, who will take over and reignite the flame of emulation?

Featuring:

• Vertical/Portrait Mod with calibrated and working Virtual DS Touchscreen.
• New Temporary SDL2 Menu System.
• Toggle in the main menu to enable/disable portrait mode.
• An actual Homebrew Menu Icon.

You can download the modified version at my GitHub page!

You can do it. I believe in you.

I can't imagine that it runs all too well, but I'm pretty curious.

It runs quite bad, but it's playable: when it doesn't crash
Just don't try running something like, mario 64 DS.

what is missing in order for it to run at full speed?

I have No clue >> "Finish it yourself, but you can't because you know almost nothing about emulation!" << That's why I put this as an option in the pole, it means I can't finish it.

Don't worry, when you start working on it we'll give you (moral) support. You'll be the hero the Switch Hacking community needs, but also the one we don't deserve.

uhmm thats why asked the question you dumbasss?

Staph talking bad about the hero we need, but don't deserve. See you're proving my point about the one we "don't deserve" already.

I would work on this but I'm not a emulation g0d. I just want to be able to play DS games reliably on the Switch. :c

 

[Kazalber]

I'm rooting for whoever decides to revive the project

 

[YigglyPoof]

Man, god bless your soul. This is the one thing I want on my switch other than emunand, I will forever be in your debt if you finish this. You got it!

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Hmm. So that case that lets you mount the switch vertically to the JoyCons does have some use after all.

Don't be so rude. Maybe he was asking to try and help? Jesus

 

[Zabhahs]

nice! good luck!

 

[stewacide]

I hope somebody does this just because I long to play Last Window, after playing and enjoying the hell out of Hotel Dusk on a friend's borrowed DS years ago. But I've tried that game in emulators on my Macbook Pro and it's unplayably slow, so I don't hold out a huge amount of hope of playability on Switch.

 

[Laprox]

I think you misunderstand, I put that text there saying ME<MYSELF<I don't know that much about emulation.
Why does everyone think I'm being rude?

Maybe none of you are seeing the pole up top, or possibly thinking it's an ad?

Hi, I've tried to run it but I only get an error code (2168-0002)
I'm on 5.1.0 maybe that the reason.
EDIT:Nvm, i got it working, it was my error
