Alpha release of SNEmul 0.4! - Snes Emulator for Nintendo DS Updated

[wraggster]

Archeide has posted a new release of his Snes emulator for the Nintendo DS, heres whats new:

It has been a long time with no real updates of SNEmulDS.. This first release break this silence, and i hope it will please everyone. First of all, the main change is the integration of the CPU engine of SnezziDS. In fact, I wanted to make my own CPU engine in ASM, but i rapidly saw that i couldn’t do better than bubble2k did. I recognize his work as a masterpiece in DS homebrews. I personnally added some new features from the original C CPU of SNEmulDS: speed hacks, memory protection, and ROM paging/dynamic reloading (giving Large ROMs support for Slot-1 cards). All combined CPU engine and speed hacks give a great boost in speed.
There are also various changes:

Implemented MODE 7
Partial line by line engine for MODE 7 games
Implemented MODE 3,4 (256 colors)
Now SNEmulDS uses devkitpro 20 and libfat library from chishm with DLDI support, for better compatibility
Improved ROM paging, reducing bugs for Large ROMs (> 3 Mo)
Fixed memory leaks (And consequently, fixed famous “Unsupported Large LoRom” bug)
Three level of speed hacks : no speed hacks, medium speed hacks, full speed hacks. Each level give various compatibility and speed enhancements.
Fixed various bugs
Now SNEmulDS sources are under GNU license, to be compatible with snezzids
Get it here : (don’t forget to patch it with your DLDI driver, SNES games are loaded from SNES directory)

Well that was fast. I was about to submit the news, but I guess I'm too late. Not bad.

I'll test some games out later.

You got to DLDI patch it guy, if you dont know how to do it, go to..... i cant find the site, hopefully someone tells you how though. And if you get it to run, remember to place the roms in a folder in the root of the card called SNES or else they won't run.

You can also do a Google search for "DLDIrc" which adds a right-click command to DLDI patch any .nds file you click on. I found it very useful.

I tried a few games, and speed seems to have improved in nearly all games. Mega Man 7 appears to actually run faster in 0.3 though, and I'm not sure why.

Running SMB I Fullspeed (even a bit more) on my M3 DS simply ... thanks a lot

Am I maybe doing something wrong? Mortal kombat 3 and 2 don't work, and street fighter 2 turbo has the graphics working up to the point of character selection...then only the sound continues to work as the fighting commences.

MK3 shows the initial screen, but then hangs.

If there's any suggestions on making these games work it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.
