I'm getting ?file not found for some games that loaded in a previous version, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the update! I've just tried the new version with Rambo II ! :)
By the way, there is a new neoflash compo. They do accept updated version of previous entries :
http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.....html#msg17660 ;)
I was just wondering if this project was still ongoing, and if there are any new developments.
Hi GPF, when noticing your Frodo port to DS I was wondering if you are planning on updateing / re-porting Frodo to DC too... ? ;)
Thx Troy !!!!
Hi GPF, may I ask you a question?, is FrodoDS using for blitting PALib or libnds? I´m wondering how to write a blitter on PAlib.
Thanks in advance.
using libnds, but its just doing a memcpy from the emulated screen to the ds background.Quote:

I can't get FrodoDS to work on my DSlite using a Passcard 3 / G6 Lite.
All i get is the NEOFlash splash on top, and black screen on bottom with "unable to initalize media device!/rd/ ROM directory not found!"
I have 7 .d64 files in a folder called rd on the root. The FrodoDS.nds file is in a folder called NDS.
I tried using the FrodoDS_fs.nds approach, but when running that I just got a white screen on top and bottom. When running the createromdisk.bat it wasn't able to find a .gba file. See below output:
Any ideas?Quote:

the error about the missing gba file shouldnt matter, unless thats the version you need to use with the g6?Quote:

Not sure if the g6 supports appended filesystems like gbfs, romfs etc. but it could be that some step along the way is failing when you run the batch file?
Unforutenly there isnt a fatlib version that i know of that works with the g6 yet, I'v read about some kind of binary library/header file that was released but not sure if it works and would be better off for a source release.

Try this one:Quote:

I'm not sure how to include it and recompile - but it says it includes G6 lite support.
Yeah, thats what I was talking about and as far as I know no one has figured out how to use it yet.Quote:

that's a nice ADD also if you take the OLD release...
please...;)
Just wondering, has there been an update or anything recently? If the project is still going, I would like to suggest the following -
scale the screen with square pixels, or perhaps let the user set the scaling, allowing for unscaled mode (with clipped edges)
Also enable switching the sound emu on and off to speed up most/all games.

Need really something to speed up .
I wish another guy with good experience of Emulators/code/nds can help you for make a good emulator , before also this prj. can be dead on the sleeping time...(exp. Marcads...)
;)
I think GPF can handle this. The emu is slow, so what ? It works, some games are playable ! It is already amazing to be able to play Commando or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ77InCoxFo, my all time favourites.
sorry...but i' not have interesting of your think...
because my is only a test and not a critic!
this emulator for now is unplayable. you can say what you whant, but every game is unplayable.
to much frames dropped.
He need something in the code for work more fast.
That's true.
And remember GPF have made a GREAT work...nobody can say not... but is also incredible the NDS is the ONLY new (expensive) miniconsole...with not emulators...(can say thanks to the GBA devs.!!!! if run something...)
so...one c64...8bit... can run really well on the ds!
belive!
this is only a wish , can be GPF or another the author , or nobody... but sure the emualtion-scene on the DS is really ORRIBLE!!!! (look marca ds... every emulator born...is dead two weeks later...)
PS...my favorite games on c64 are little better... test..GHOST'GOBLIN... TRY and see.....
Hm... well I just stumbled upon this project, and I was excited, but I cant get it working. I have a M3, I threw the nds file on there, and it didnt work. I added a rd folder, nothing, added prgs, nothing, added d64s, nothing, made the romfs image and tried that, nothing, ran dsbuild, then used that version and its romfs versions (which takes 5-10 minutes to load, no joke), and still nothing. On none of these occasions has it been able to find the rd folder or image. What am I doing wrong here?
You have to DL the newest version, i think its 300507, patch it with DLDI M3, then put that on your card. easy really
Hi how would I get this to work on the R4DS?
download latest release from http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/Frodoc64.shtml ( I updated it to latest version from this forum thread)Quote:

i've gotten a report that the r4ds auto dldi patches the .nds but for other cards you have to manually dldi patch.
start frodoDS.nds
select the .d64 file from the /rd folder
either press right trigger for it to do load"*",8,1 then run, or manualy type the load command for the name of the file you want to load from the .d64 image.

This looks brillant,nice job there,Love the c64..;)
I have just got a NDS Lite so I am new to this..so here is the question...
What do I need to get this emulator to work on my NDS Lite...?
you need to buy a slot1 or slot2 card/passme combo and some kind of sd/micro/mini card.Quote:

I swear I'm doing this right but I keep getting the "not found fs_romdisk: mounting image at 0x0 at /rd " error.....I have tried all the suggestions listed on this thread but to no avail, so I must be messing something up.....I feel like a tard even asking this, as I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but could you please post a step-by-step "for dummies" tutorial for setting this up so I know what the heck I'm doing wrong? I know that's a lot to ask, and it's a crazy time of year, but if you could take the time to put something like that together it would be super-appreciated. I actually still have my C64 so I can play the games whenever I want, but I'm totally excited to have them in an on-the-go format.
Thanks a million!!!
Thanks...Quote:

dldi patch the FrodoDS.nds , copy the rd folder to the / and copy your .d64 files into it.
Troy(GPF)
OK, making progress....I can get it to load up properly now but the display is funky....
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5...0036on4.th.jpg
Please excuse the poor quality, had to take it w/ my cell...anyways, it's like the display won't fit on the screen so it's wrapping around, and the bottom screen is just blank white. Any further suggestions? Thank you!
So all i need is the slot 2 supercard then..?Quote:

what type of card are you booting it with? and are you dldi patching the .nds file, maybe your card has multiple available dldi patches , try some of the others?Quote:

Either of those should work fine and both act as a passme as well, so just need one of those cards, a microsd card and away to read/write to the microsd card from your pc.Quote:
