Re: New site front end

It's a nice new fresh look for the site.

Once the missing document's are sorted out I think this site will be THE place for help and advice, as well as the IRC chat room.

Re: Filesystem not working on M3, OK on emus

How without argv support you don't know what the .nds file name is going to be, and I've got a feeling your next step will be a "Scan the SD card for the nds file".

Sorry, I forgot one thing. The NDS filename has to be passed on compile time as well with the -D flag.

I'm not sure if I understood ...

Re: Filesystem not working on M3, OK on emus

Well, the real reason I'd like my homebrew to work on any linker menu is that I'm making NDS demos, and if I want them to be widely watched, I can't force people to change their menu. If they'd like to run cracked games, it's their problem...

By the way, I've thought about a way of making ...

Re: Better way to manage animations?

Then it was HOLY MONOLITHIC CODING, in C++!!!!!

Apart from that it looks OK-ish...

Oh why is FP_PI = 16 << 10??

Also have you looked in the tile viewer of DesMuMe at how your OBJ memory has been allocated?

Re: load sprites from filesystem

Thanks for posting these pieces of code. :)

I've read that the speeds of microSD varies. I'm guessing writing directly to vram might not always work depending on how much data you are moving and the speed of the card. I wonder if its possible to steam sound this way on some cards.

There is some ...

Re: Filesystem not working on M3, OK on emus

I just ran into the same problem. So, while looking for a solution I ended up here.
I just downloaded and tested the HBMenu, and it works great !
But I still miss some features from the R4 firmware. So I tried one thing : I put back the R4 firmware and the HBMenu in a folder. Then I launched the ...

Re: Better way to manage animations?

You missed one - ManWoman Hybrid.

This is where you work out your OAM in advance and use the best method for your game.

If you have multiple ships of the same type, all with different animation frames, and the number of ships on screen are more than or equal to the number of frames in the ...
