when the 1' release ?

**GPF** · November 24th, 2005, 17:41

well I had planned on releasing something this week, but ran out of time. New baby in the house cuts back on a lot my of coding time.

I havent looked at my code in a month or so. So its basically still in the same state as all the alphas iv released in #dcemu and #dsdev on efnet.

Still need to figure out streaming sound, and some way to load d64 etc images, right now it only loads 1 prg file, by pressing one of the shoulder buttons. So the prj file has to be included into the build process, unless you use a gbfs injector to replace the current embedded prg file.

Right now I have no way of testing any of my code on my DS, I need a flashcard , gbamp/cfcard etc, I am awaiting my free neoflash mk2, so that will handle part of the issue, but unless I receive a donation of a flashcard etc- its very difficult to do ds coding.

I can't promise anything yet, but Ill see if I can get what I have released soon.

like i said I have plenty of people that can test my alpha binaries in the irc chat rooms, if you hang out there eventually Ill post something for test. 8)

Im still going to continue working on it, I was just hoping that someone might start a fundraiser for me or send me donations

, since I would really like to play the c64 on my nintendo DS too, as that was my favorite computer of all time.

I would be happy to donate a bit for a flash device if someone set something up. If you have a Paypal account, I'll send a bit to it. I recommend the M3 Adapter http://www.m3adapter.com You can get them here: http://www.yesasia.com/?/cgi-bin/div-cn...ml?id=xvBeY6Vp

There is a CF and an SD model. This is quite nice because you can just swap out the memory card when it gets full. Also, the MK2 you're getting, can take SD cards right? (I know the MK3 does.) If so, you could order the SD version of the M3, and be able to swap your SD cards back and forth.

I have the CF version, and couldn't be happier with it. No problems at all with it.

I also know some other people who would be VERY interested in seeing this emulator work, so there are some more possible donations right there.
