devkitPro

Hello,

In my university we use a toolchain in Windows from devkitPro Updater 1.6.0 to compile C code and Assembly code into a .nds that can be run into an emulator (desmume) or even real hardware. I would like to port that toolchain into Linux to compile the software (and produce a .nds file) in a Docker container. I digged deep into the subject and I have many questions. Please, any recommendation is welcome.

So, the first thing would be to know what version of the tools is included in the devkitPro updater 1.6.0, but I can't find it online. It seems that it has been removed.

But I don't care since the updater was made for Windows. What I need is the equivalent binaries for Linux of the same versions that are used in devkitPro Updater 1.6.0 for Windows. I was wondering if someone could help me with that. I don't know how to search for the correct versions.

After that, I think that using the Internet Archive or searching online I will be able to find the correct binaries the moment I know the correct versions to look for.

Finally, I will try to build a Docker container to be able to compile code into .nds files.

If anyone can help me or give me any indications to find the binaries I'll be very grateful.

Thank you so much for your help.

The Updater has always been a web installer which downloaded the latest components we supply. It isn't possible to determine what component versions correspond to any particular version of the Updater - it could be a whole range. We also didn't keep a record of what those versions might be since we operate rolling releases.

The best option is to update your code to compile with the latest iterations of the tools and libraries rather than seeking out old versions in order to avoid doing that work. If you need assistance with that process then please just ask.
