Re: Homebrew Project Questions

6. Why must tile data be written to video memory using a bios call (swiCopy) instead of writing to the space directly? It does not need to be done that way, but if your copying a large amount of data that's in a pre-existing block of memory then an swCopy is the fastest way to copy the data over, y...

Re: cmake

Yeah but ... bat files don't work under linux or OSX and the devkitPro installer gives you a bash shell under windows. Your bat file needs arguments ... From the average devkitARM user's perspective this is way more complex than what already exists and doesn't seem to come close to what the template...

Re: Help to do my project

This board is mainly for support using the toolchains and supplied libraries. Your question is pretty much out of scope for us and we don't support PALib users, sorry.

Re: cmake

Really don't see the need. Very, very few people move away from the templates provided by devkitPro for DS code and, honestly, I have yet to see the gnu make replacement that's worth the bother. You might think cmake is easier but really, most of our users don't actually have to do anything other th...

Re: C++ constructors on GP32 using devkitARM and SDL++ EABI

No, this has very little chance of working. What you're trying to do here is use some unknown and inappropriately patched newlib built with some unknown version of gcc. The only sensible way to approach this is to extract the gp32 specific parts, separate them into a new library, add the appropriate...

Re: Problem with installing devkitPro

It's also worth checking the IE proxy settings.

Re: C++ constructors on GP32 using devkitARM and SDL++ EABI

Would have been a bit better if you'd posted some details here - I think I still have a login for gp32x but I'm trying to avoid the distractions of reading and responding to posts in the many forums where devkitPro toolchain users lurk. The basic problem with those EABI SDL++ libraries is the hackin...

Re: devkitPPC make Error 1

Yes, c:\projects\wii\helloworld is a path without spaces, your desktop is not. You can't build a project saved on your desktop, it's impossible to ensure that the spaces don't interfere with the operation of the many tools involved in building code.

Re: devkitPPC make Error 1

You need to compile the program before the text will change. The windows installer provides a number of examples and a lightweight code editor called Programmer's Notepad. Each example has a .pnproj file which you can doubleclick in order to launch PN2 with the example loaded - copy the template fol...
