NDS - SNEmulDS v0.4 Final released

**DanTheManMS** · March 12th, 2007, 00:52

New release of Archeide's SNES emulator for the DS:

This release contains various bug fixes, which should improve games compatibility and stability. Some minor features have also been added like options saved in save states, background Layer selector, and hinge support.
Here is a list of changes:

* Fixed ROM paging, this should improve stability of large ROMs (especillay DKC2)
* Some CPU instructions were bugged because of the way SNEmulDS write in I/O ports, this should also improve stability (ie Crash before first boss in Zelda)
* Fixed a bug that made Chrono Trigger freeze during battles
* Changed the way emulator detect blank screen (Street Fighter Turbo, RTYPE3, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest now works)
* Fixed some bugs with SRAM memory, which unlock most ROM protections (Uniracer, Bust-a-move, … now boot)
* Now sound core doesn’t randomly crash when using line by line engine
* Better reset of sound core, some games now run correctly when they are launched after another game (ie Super Bomberman >2)
* Save states also save options
* Added background layer selector. You can again enable/disable backgrounds.
* Added hinge support. If you close you DS, emulation is stopped and SRAM is saved.
* SRAM is now automatically saved before loading another ROM

A compadability list for this would be awesome. Also, I'm a bit new to this, and have a saving question: I use Supercard lite, do I have to use QPC saving with this?

Well Chrono trigger won't freeze when you battle(yays!)But it still goes freaky with the text boxes,if that could be fixed,CT would be perfect to play.But the battle playability is a amazing jump for SmelDS!Great job!Anouther piece of the puzzle has been set in place.

Also Earthbound runs almost 100%(the text boxes are behind objects as always).But I noticed Ness walks faster.And Worms shows the text boxes if you mess around with the options.

So ya thats what I've learned with this update so far.Awesome man,keep working on it!!!

skipboris, check out http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/SNEmulD...atibility_List

I just finished creating the newest chart and adding about 5 games to it, but there are still tons more games to try. You can look at the older charts though for a rough idea. All three DKC games surely work fine now, though I've only officially tested the first one. I briefly tried DKC2 and was glad to see that it got fixed in this new version. Haven't tried DKC3 yet, but it was working very well in the beta version.

Archeide has said that he's going to try to get the line-by-line engine working better for the next version, which should help Chrono Trigger greatly.

Hows Punchout now? I was able to play the game perfectly, save for the fact that the graphics were scrambled on the fighters.

I'll have to dig it up and give it another go, this would make my DS complete
