nesDS EX Edition, using toolchain devkitARM.
We spent a few weeks to port the original nesDS project to the GCC toolchain. Then we made a new EX Edition, and
made it possible to emulate the the NES/FC games that the origianl nesDS didn't work well.
The original nesDS uses the NDS Video hardware the emulate the NES/FC's, so it has a good speed.
The Ex Edtion uses software to render the graphic of NES/FC, and the speed and sound not better than before.
The EX Edition is very nice, because we combine the two versions in to one NDS ROM, so we can enjoy boths.
Q: When to use EX Edition?
A: If the games you want to play works well on the original nesDS, then you have no need to use the EX Edition.
If not, then you can have a try with the EX Edition. If you want to know the figures of the EX Edition,
view the UPDATES.
UPDATES:
--------
0.22b
mappers supported: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 16, 19, 74, 246 (EX's mapper files is very different from the original.)
function added: cheat
CHANGES£º
--------
Touch screen should work better now
Fixed bug that was causing ARM7 to crash on emulators (ideas and desemu inputs were not working)
NOTES:
------
All other functionality should be identical to the original. nesDS inputs now work properly on
emulators. You can run the nesDS on ideas by DLDI patching it with the R4 dldi patch using
dlditool. You must then enable DLDI support for R4 under File->Properties. You can also run nesDS
on desmume but you will need to create a filesystem image from some files and embed the files to
the emulator (you need to use fcsr for this).
COMPILING:
----------
You need devkitARM to compile this project. If you are compiling on windows you also need mingw. On linux you
will need to have make installed.
The project compiles on windows and linux using devkitARM r32 (devkitPro). To compile on windows use
msys-1.0.15 (devkitPro) as well. You do not need anyhting else to comiple the project.
Compiling on windows:
1) extract devkitARM to a folder
2) extract msys to a folder
3) add DEVKITARM environment variableÂÂand set its value to the path where you extracted devkitARM,
e.g: /c/devkitARM (must be linux style path!)
4) (OPTIONAL) add path to msys binaries in you windows path, e.g: c:\msys\bin (must be windows style path!)
You only need to do step 4 if you want to compile from the windows command shell. You can compile the project
without step 4 by launching mingw using msys.bat in the msys folder.
5) change to the project main directory, either in the windows command shell (step4 required) or mingw then
type make.
Compiling on linux:
1) extract devkitARM
2) create a DEVKITARM shell variable with the path to where you extracted devkitARM, e.g: /usr/local/devkitARM
You can create a variable in /etc/profile or in your home directory .bash_profile file as follows
export DEVKITARM=/usr/local/devkitARM
or just type this command in the shell before typing make
3) change to the project main directory then type make.
To delete all object files type:
make clean
in the main project directory
If you make changes to the emulator and want to add them to this project or if you want to join the project notify us
on http://sourceforge.net/projects/nesds

2.Are there any cons compared to using the original NESDS, any reason I would have to go back to using NESDS?readme.txt said:The Ex Edtion uses software to render the graphic of NES/FC, and the speed and sound not better than before.Is the underlined word a typo?
4. Does this finally have the DPCM sound in it (ex. SMB3 drums)? Or no?
1. Lol Idunno
2. No, speed is a TINY bit slower in EX mode sometimes, but most of the time it's about the same. sound's a little buzzy tho (but nowhere near as buzzy as, say, MAME4ALLDSTWO.)
4. No
