Lameboy v0.9 Released - GB/GBC emulator for DS

[DanTheManMS]

New release from Nutki:

Here it comes. Not as many fixes as I expected to put in this release, but did not want to delay it any longer. There is no change to sound core so don’t expect any improvement there.

Remember what I said about no hardware bilinear upscaling in NDS in the last note? Actually I was wrong - you can get it with some simple tricks. So now you can toggle between no scaling / nearest neighbour / bilinear with Y button.

Lameboy DS 0.9

Changelog:

* fixed: joypad register emulation (fixes Wario Blast)
* fixed: GBC hdma (fixes Pokemon Crystal graphics)
* fixed: interrupt flags emulation (fixes Bouble Bobble)
* fixed: V-blank interrupt timing (fixes Altered Space)
* fixed: split window emulation (fixes Donkey Kong graphics)
* fixed: GB timer initialization (fixes Pokemon Pinball)
* added: fake serial interrupts (fixes many early games)
* added: RTC emulation
* added: pseudo bilinear upscaling mode

RTC feature needs more explanation. I tested it with only one game - Pokemon Crystal, so it can be considered beta. The emulated time is always synchronized to NDS RTC and not affected by fast mode. It’s the same behaviour as in VBA and opposite to GNUBoy’s. Also save style is compatible to VBA, with one issue: I think there is no way to check time zone in NDS (as it is not set) so I fixed it to +2h. If your timezone is different you will get timeshift between Lameboy and VBA.

Great Release!

I like the screen expand feature and the ability to use ROMS in any folder.

Not to mention improved compatability.

Thanks Nutki!

The bilinear filtering makes all the difference to me. Makes it look so much better without any noticeable speed loss.

Thanks Nutki.

An excellent update. Cheers.

Wow, Thanks! Hopefully more updates will add support for even more games. (like Pokemon Puzzle Challenge).

The screen zoom is some neat little eye candy. Unexpected from a homebrew emulator (the first I've seen it at least).

Love the zoom, the bilinear looks great. Thanks for the update it rocks.

Out of interest games like Wackey Racers and Mickeys speedway flicker an awful lot. What is the cause of this.

Once agian thanks for this, look forward to the next update.

Thank you for getting rid of the red background. . . . . it was kinda hurting my eyes a bit.

Need some help:

I d/led 0.9 and patched it through DLDIrc and got a lameboy_sclt.nds file for my Supercard Lite DS.

When I run this on my DS it brings up a file directory with white text and a black background and on the bottom screen it says
"fat:/LAMEBOY/
> [..]"

There are two GameBoy roms (.7z) in that folder but it won't show up.

Am I using the wrong DLDI program (DLDI right click) or do I need a different type of ROM than .7z/patch the rom with some program?
