News from Spinal (http://palib.info/forum/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=28&post_id=18656#forumpost18656)

At the request/advice of some of the forum members, I have modified my button tester app to test other thing as well.

As you can see I have based its visual style
on that of the Wii menu.

Current features are_
1. Button Test
2. Stylus Test
3. Wifi Test (Not implemented)
4. Boot GBA (Not Implemented)
5. Microphone Test
6. Speaker Test
7. Stuck Pixel Fixer
8. Power Down the DS (No icon yet)

The two blue circles at the bottom will both be used as buttons, one to return to the main menu, the other undecided (perhaps credits?). The current time is also displayed.

The download will be available when the app if finished, sinse I don't know how to boot GBA or Wifi test, it might be some time.

Wow, been fixing most of my friend's DS's when they are dropped... or 3rd party batterypacks explode.... this will be a great utility, i plan on watching for any new progress.

BootGBA and Wifi Test are now implemented. NDSMotion Card test added. The power button has been moved to the bottom right blue circle. I just need to think of 3 more items to add.

Might not be for about a month, I might be entering it in a compo, the rules might only allow 'new' stuff.

how did you get GBA working in PAlib, spinal?

I thought you had it working and were unwilling to share the method?

I had it working in libnds... and then I thought I had it working in PAlib but nvm. Did you use the way from hbfirmware or RyanFB's little app or did you use the _asm method described on NDS Tek and GBA Tek?

You could have shared your progress up to that point, perhaps we could have both worked on the problem.
Whats the problem getting it working in palib?

PAlib doesn't communitcate with the ARM7 easily. I added all the files from my BootGBA() lib for libnds and linked it to both processor's corusponding dir and headerS and C source files.... but one thing I have gotten working is Lick's rebootlib.


EDIT: I think I will just go rewrite it for good ol' libnds.
EDIT: There might also be a way to seperate a PAlib project for both processors by taking a regular libnds combined project's makefiles and adding -lpa7/9 to them and taking away the linking to the ARM7 binary, in the makefile. and adding all the compiling ways for PAlib.

I didn't even know the DS had a temperature sensor in it.

It checks the voltages across two diodes I think, then does some funky math to turn the two readings into one temperature.
