How does Giana Sisters under frodo compare to the standalone port? wish his was opensource probably could help in my frodo port

Sam, how cool. "Sam is here to stay..." Works great! As for Giana Sisters. It crashes.

What's a bit strange is the fact, that most programmers are doing their jobs alone in the homebrew scene. But teamwork would probably be more efficient.

I meant the standalone port.

GPF, thank you very much. Having a handheld c64 is really a plus - the underground or the bus are wonderful places to play fast retro-games. I did not use a 64 emulator in years, since I preferred to play other games when at home... but now, on the road, I cant' help falling in love with Frodo (don't get me wrong... ). Yesterday I completed Pitfall II for the first time in, say, ten years, and it was moving. Not only because I was on a moving bus. It was emotionally moving, that is.
Thanks again.

Hi

I've patched the latest version with the DLDI for the M3 SD but I just get the coding compo top screen and a white bottom screen. Anyone managed to get it working on an M3 SD? If so, any help much appreciated!

Great work, BTW. A pocket C64 goes ncely with a pocket Speccy!

You could try launching it with the Start button on M3SD (instead of A). I didn't have to do that with M3CF though. At the time this was posted, the most recent version is on this page 13.

Yeah works great on my M3SD thats what I use to develop FrodoDS with. So not sure why its not working for you unless you have a bad SD card? maybe scandisk it or reformat it ?

Thanks for the speedy replies.

Just tried another SD card but the same problem, whether I start with "A" button or "Start" button. Hmm.

Do I need to patch it with the DLDI for the M3 SD (which I am doing) or should I just try it "out of the box"?

Secondly, (sorry for the newbie post) how do I append a loader?

Thanks

ok I think I've made some definite improvements to the sound code, to me its the best sounding yet.

I hope that reenabling sound doesn't break the menu or the emulator again lol, I've tested it on my ds-x and my m3sd and seems to work fine on the couple games I tried.

Well off to play some M.U.L.E.

Enjoy,

as i've said before , great work , but i can't get a working copy of frodods even patched for sc sdmicro slot1 card , well that can load up games , i get the mount screen then the blue one but when i try to load it won't go , just says file not found ,also is there an upto date version i can download that isn't currupt , the download on page 13 is empty or currupted in some way that winzip or rar zip can't get into it with out saying it's invalid or currupt . can you give us a new link to it , cheers mate . dying to actually play paradroid , bionic commando , monty mole and some more from my c64 years .

*edit*

the download on page 12 is currupt to , also i have tried reformating my microsd 1gig .
my hardware is:
nds lite
super card slot1
1gig micro sd

frodods21107b is the version i'm trying to use , and the other downloads are currupt or no file format ? as a zip .
it is patched and then when i start it , it shows the compo' screen goes to the mount selection screen , i choose paradroid(as this is the one i've seen running in some vids on youtube) and it goes to the blue screen , i pres the right shoulder pad and get this with a strange noise :

load"*",8,1
searching for *
?device not present error
ready.
run

ready.

i have tried the other ways described here to get the directory up to choose from and the left shoulder pad button when pressed makes that funny deep sound and crashes by freezing up , i only have 4 games in the \rd folder . pleeeaassseee help . i hope you might know what is wrong with this . and if it could be the dldi patch <scds.dldi> currupting the file , any way hope this information might help . i am dying to get this running to bring back some childhood days of paradroid and monty on the run .

Hi there!

For those interested in composing SID tunes, have a look here

http://covertbitops.c64.org/

In the tools section are two quite interesting trackers, Sado Tracker and NinjaTracker for doing your compositions on the road.

They work quite well in frodo ds, but one major issue is, that it's not possible to save.

So here is my wishlist:
- Hot switchable 1541 emulation, so that saves are possible. (Load fast, save slow).

- Correct assignation of CLR/HOM and INST/DEL and their shifted counterparts to provide the possibility of inserting and deleting lines in the trackers. Left shift detection, needed for cybertracker, is a bit difficult I guess.

- Moving the cursor with D-Pad (switchable) would faciliate editing greatly!

- There are some timing (a tad too fast) and syncing (sound - gfx) issues.

However, as it is FrodoDS is already more that one could ask for, but some polishing would not hurt either.

Listened to sid tunes all night yesterday, am thinking about getting a used C64.
