pomDS V1.0 - Apple II Emulator for Nintendo DS

[paul3100]

what folders to put everything into?

Have the .nds file, plus some DSK images and the apple II bios image and put them all in a folder named apple II but it doesn't respond to buttons or touch!

help please, oh but nice looking emulator :-)

I think the readme file says that you must put the nds file and the bios / rom files in the root directory of your card / linker , isn't it ?
You can put dsk files where you want

was there anything worth playing on that thing?

KARATEKA !!!! :thumbup:

Wow, alekmaul, this is incredible. Your gui is already incredibly polished. It looks and feels like a apple2. I've only thrown Joust, Pacman, Repton(the defender clone), Montezuma's Revenge,Pirates, Sundog, War of the Lance,Xyphus,Mario Bros,Phantasie1,Hero, and Pitfall2 at it.
They all worked ,except the ones that required joystick input of course. There is a bit of a problem where the mapped keyboard buttons staying 'depressed', this actually helped in Joust. Some games like Pirates! the joystick seemed to be stuck in a downward direction. I've always wanted to play Sundog:Frozen Legacy(it requires joystick I believe) and it booted up with no problem.
You say that some copy-protected games don't work, if they are 'cracked' does it affect it?
I'm wondering,are in-game saves functional? I haven't made any 'character' disks for Phantasie or Xyphus to find out.
Anyway awesome job so far. Don't change the GUI. I hope savestates, joystick support, better sound and speed aren't too much of a hassle, because that would make your emulator pretty much perfect.
Thanks again(for all your emulators) this one so far is my favorite and it's a first release.

ok nothing starts how is this thing suppose to work?

You need a dldi patched version of pomDS.nds, a DISK.ROM and apple2 rom(I used APPLE2E.ROM). These all need to be in the root of your card. You then need .DSK images of apple2 games(these can be anywhere). The DISK.ROM is a little hard to find but not impossible. The rest is easy to find.

Sorry to bring this out one more time but has anyone suceedeed in running "Wasteland" on this emu? I've tried different configurations (bios, fastmode on/off) but can't get it to boot.

And since alekmaul asked for suggestions I'd like to ask about future .nib file support

Not for me it isn't! I'm trying to get every rom file the readme specifically lists but a good deal of them appear to not exist on the web for me. Feel free to prove me wrong (through PM or e-mail) though.

Wasteland boots fine for me. However after a series of disk swaps it hits a I/O error. This is when you first see the menu at bottom of screen with choices like Use,End,Disband,Radio,Save. I believe this could be a lack of input device error, which I get in GEOs also, furthermore this could be the game trying to save, which for me causes crashes and freezes. I'd wait and see if alekmaul can implement joystick and saving before I worry about playing a game that clearly requires saving.
While .nib support would be great , joystick and saving to disk is my wishlist.

Can you emulate the OS?

because minivmacDS is not possible for me (I don't own a mac)

and GEOSDS does not support dldi...
