FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks for the new release.... A really good step FFWD !!!

I'v try with M3/cf

bugs:

AMIDAR is signed playable, but have a big trouble...
the enemies going false road...sometime out of the screen , at the bonus screen...the monkey going false ad random mode...and sometime or ever...in looping in the midle and you can't go out (Off the DS or ESC to menu')

PINBALL (set1-2) many sprites non compare , also the comands-rachette...unplayable.

PONPOKO....vertical in double screen ?!?

hopes:

scrool the list game FAST (10xtimes) with Left & right buttons

a few different VIDEOMODE , like a resize one (for play in one screen) because the resolution now is REAL and Beatiful , but for play is little bad..in many games you can't see the action around you...

I hope many anothers OLD and GOOD games can be insert... ( TUTANKHAM !!!!!!) soon!!

more sound add....

=)

Thanks for your reply jimiz
I have also noticed the same problems for amidar.
For pinball, it is normal, the sprites are not emulated yet.
For pompoko, the screen was too big to fit on one screen, so, I flip it vertically.
For all the games, I don't know how can i resize them becauses games like pacman are too big to fit only in one screen. I will try to do something else like copying a small portion of the upper screen to the lower screen, i will make a special version with this test soon.

TUTANKHAM (Z80)

Can be emulated yet ? wh't d' you think?

ps... MARCADS have nothing about MAME src...but of another Src ? (like sparcade or another coinop emulator) , or just is a src write by self ? meaby more people can help you to do somethnig more for this SUPER emu , not?! =)

MarcaDS is my own emulator, nothing to do with Mame src and others emus. At the beginning of it, i took a look at Vantage source code but I didn't used it. The only thing that is like mame, it is the informations about the games (I/O, memory mapping, roms, and so on).
and ... tutankham used a 6809 as main CPU, not a Z80 (only for sound)
sorry for you http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/tutankhm

This looks very nice... I have the Max Media Launcher and a GBA flash cart.

I ran makearcads.bat, and it generated the .pme file.

I renamed the .pme file to a .ds.gba file, and put it on my flash cart.

It boots up, I press A to skip the splash, and then I get the menu screen with "Searching for fat drivers..." Nothing else.

I had an uncompressed zip "dkong.zip" in the GBFS folder and in the regular folder.

Why does this not work? Is this not for flash carts at all?

Well, for the maxmedia launcher, you don't have to use makearcads.bat.
Just put the marcads.nds in a MARCADS directory in the root directory of your maxmedia, and put roms in zip format with no compression (0%).

Hi Alek, First you have done again a great work with your MarcaDS.
I want tell you there is a little misstake in your Marca Gamelist.
Battle of Atlantis (set1) includet the same files as:Battle of Atlantis (set2).
This 2 Games cant have the same name "atlantis.zip", in the same Folder. Battle of Atlantis (set2) Name is atlants2.zip and content romfiles from Nr.1 to Nr.10.
I have play Phoenix all versions from your emu and it is again and again the same problem.
Third wave birds are not to see.
The same in wave 4. In the last wave is no Alien Mothership to see.
Mr Goemon mrgoemon.zip hang up at start and in the boot menu stand that file 12c is bad. I have checked different Roms from different sites but again hang up with the this message bad 12c.
At last Le Bagnard (set 2) start with black screen, is not hang of because is possible go back to the menu.
Can you change something in your emu that the games worked.
I hope you can but more stuff (Games) to your emu, in near future. I love your MarcaDS emu.
Greetz from Germany to France

hello anónimo

thanks for your reply and tests ...
that's strange for mr goemons and others ... I will take a look at that.
Also, the next version will have a crc checker for each file, so it will be easer to have a corect set
regards
alek
