FrodoDS Update 2006-03-28

[Echo1]

I didn't know that a C64 emu was even made for the DS. I shall check it out later.

Oh, is there any work been done on this or any other C64 emu?

[PARALAX]

I think the romdisk.img is used for the Mac emulator, this is a Commodore 64 emulator.

extract it to the root of your card, although FrodoDS.nds can be anywhere.Patch frodods with the DLDI patcher and patch.

Find some c64 roms that end in .D64(easily done with google), put them in the folder named rd. Start up DS and FrodoDS, navigate to the rd folder choose the rom. I'm afraid with this version you need to initially choose the game twice so hit L trigger and chose the same rom again. Hit the right trigger to load first program on the D64 disk.
You may want to tweak the file named Frodo.fpr, Open it with notepad and change SkipFrames = 2 to SkipFrames = 3 or maybe even 3.5

You will also want to read up on the c64 perhaps, there is a great place to find manuals here

Finally it works, thank you!

Which version is this and where did you get it?

And how can I set or swap the Joysticks? Firebutton don't seems to work for both ports.

I didn't find a setting menu whatever I press.

It really seems to run very slowly, even with every 4th Frame, particularly Giana Sisters. I can't believe that it's only a problem with the DS CPU Power. My 486DX 80 played almost every game in full speed with C64S (an old C64 PC Emulator). Most games run with full Floppy Emulation perfectly with every 1st oder 2nd frame. The Nintendo DS has a CPU with 67Mhz., almost the same. What makes this Emulator so slowly and how to speed up a bit?

My current settings:

NormalCycles = 63
BadLineCycles = 23
CIACycles = 63
FloppyCycles = 64
SkipFrames = 3
LatencyMin = 80
LatencyMax = 120
LatencyAvg = 280
ScalingNumerator = 2
ScalingDenominator = 2
DriveType8 = D64
DrivePath8 =
DriveType9 = DIR
DrivePath9 =
DriveType10 = DIR
DrivePath10 =
DriveType11 = DIR
DrivePath11 =
ViewPort = Default
DisplayMode = Default
SIDType = DIGITAL
REUSize = NONE
DisplayType = WINDOW
SpritesOn = TRUE
SpriteCollisions = TRUE
Joystick1On = TRUE
Joystick2On = TRUE
JoystickSwap = FALSE
LimitSpeed = FALSE
FastReset = TRUE
CIAIRQHack = FALSE
MapSlash = TRUE
Emul1541Proc = TRUE
SIDFilters = TRUE
DoubleScan = TRUE
HideCursor = FALSE
DirectSound = FALSE
ExclusiveSound = FALSE
AutoPause = FALSE
PrefsAtStartup = FALSE
SystemMemory = FALSE
AlwaysCopy = FALSE
SystemKeys = TRUE
ShowLEDs = TRUE



Also the screen solution is a bit unfitting, the initials from the bootup C64 screen is a bit distorted.
Furthermore the disk image only can be accessed fully if I turn on the 1541 Emulation, otherwise I only cann access the first file of a disk (fast load).

This is the place I got it, read through it

this is also where you should post anymore

the select button swaps joystick

it has the same compatibility as the "standard" version of frodo for pc

And most of what your saying has been gone over allready.

Alot of games do work full speed.
