devkitPro

I'm using a 600mhz intel celeron, Hitachi portable with 128 MB of RAM and devkitARM compiles fine for me. So the AMD architecture is probably to blame.

Sure I'd post any updates here. ;*)

BTW, I would use the latest libnds though since all it takes is to add just one line of code.

Thanks for pointing this out. I believe it's not your code or you. After you pointed out that the anya pic works well and everything is black I can assume that this is the problem: (In bold) libnds 1.4.9 * correct copy size for GLRGB. * add some macros for DISPCAP related registers. * rename vramSet...

fcg: I couldn't resist converting your code to use the 3D engine. You declared beads as *u8 so I had to use 256 colors for the bead sprite. Also I had to "waste" pal memory to make it behave like your rendering system. You might want to look at Grit and make your tiles from an actual tile ...

Would it be possible to add that here? I mean this would be useful for questions like:

1. Would pure-virtual functions slow down my game significantly?
2. How do you use fixed-point math?
3. Hi newbie here, how do I start coding for the DS?
4. How much RAM does the DS have?
etc...

Padrinator's mesh converter does't work if I want to use it... I mean, how can I create a bin file from a model? The readme file would tell you that. I used the console version AFAIR of that converter and it worked fine. Just be sure that your makefile can process BIN files. Then all you have to do...

Well, here's what I did: 1. Tried it pixel by pixel http://rel.betterwebber.com/junk.php?id=98 . Found out it it was too slow, so... 2. Messed with the OAM http://rel.betterwebber.com/junk.php?id=105 . Found out it's cumbersome to use and has a 128 sprite limit so... 3. Used the 3D core to draw 2D s...

Speaking from experience here (I still consider myself a noob and I still suck at makefiles). I believe coding on the DS is not harder/easier than say, PC coding. In fact I have an easier time coding for the DS using libnds than MSVS on the PC (I would even go as far as the tools Devkitpro provides ...

This is the texture packer that is used in the examples? http://rel.betterwebber.com/junk.php?id=106 Is this a accurate description of how to move textures from main memory to vram frame by frame? http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=17167&highlight=texture++textures Yes that's the texture p...

No problem. Just my way of giving back to the community.

Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you can test it for bugs and such.
