Thank You, thank You Lino :)

[ShadowFX]

Tried it just yet, it's amazing how far it has progressed since the last version! Many graphics and audio fixes, and the speed has increased dramaticly here. Very, very nice release!

[sigmax]

Exelent news :D

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Looks absolutely awesome, time to try it out :D

Edit: Ok tried it now and it's blown me away. GREAT WORK LINO!!! :thumb:

I see you managed to fix those major issues Etrian Odessy had and also Labyrinth.
Absolutely awesome, time for the testing to start in earnest, quite a few extra games working propperly, those 2 having been the worst before (not perfect but MUCH better than before).


No the above was not criticizing you Lino it was there for any idiots that might say : "but you said it was perfect", that's why I added that in brackets.

[kevsta2004]

I've got a strange problem with new version all my menu's & text are defaulting to Italian for some reason instead of english even after i've saved.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Go File>Properties and switch to english. Remember to then reset the game.

[kevsta2004]

Thanks! for that :thumb:

What the difference from the Z & w buffers?

[shashClp]

Well, he added ELF debugging (http://spazioinwind.libero.it/linoma/ideas_screen/debugger.png), which is GREAT, really, really, GREAT. Probably the greatest addition from the homebrew developers point of view! (Not to mention that I'm jealous, because I wanted to add that too on desmume :D)

Kudos for the GREAT release :)

[Hiei-YYH]

only ARDS? why not raw CBDS too lino? it's easier than ards, and has less code types to mess with.

can you specify which ards code types you implemented? (or just basic 8bit 16bit 32bit constant write for now)

[Lino]

can you specify which ards code types you implemented? (or just basic 8bit 16bit 32bit constant write for now)

Why only ARDS? Because I must understand us more. The codes implement are:


0 - write byte
1 - write half word
2 - write word
3 - if a > read word(adr)
4 - if a < read word8adr)
5 - if a == read word(adr)
6 - if a != read word(adr)
7 - if hword a > (read hword & not a)
8 - if hword a < (read hword & not a)
9 - if hword a == (read hword & not a)
A - if hword a != (read hword & not a)
B - Offset = read word(adr + offset)
D0 - Null Terminator
D2 - Null Terminator
D3 - Offset = a
D4 - Data += a
D5 - Data = a
D6 - Write word(a+Offset,data); Offset += 4
D7 - Write halfword(a+Offset,data); Offset += 2
D8 - Write byte(a+Offset,data); Offset += 1
D9 - Data = Read word(a + Offset)
DA - Data = Read halfword(a+ Offset)
DB - Data = Read Byte(a + Offset)
DC - Offset += a


What the difference from the Z & w buffers?

practically it disable the depth test, because the w-buffer is not implemented:D

[Hiei-YYH]

Why only ARDS? Because I must understand us more.

lol you mean english?

anyway :thumb:

[gdmk]

why not I can't save the game now? I have tried many games.

[Lino]

iDeaS creates the file .sav only if it has been written something in the EEPROM.

[gdmk]

but it writes nothing to the .sav file when I have saven the game.
then when you start the game it will clear the .sav file.

[Lino]

Perhaps there is a problem with savetype auto. You choose the manual savetype.

[Hiei-YYH]

quick save from 1.0.1.6 gives error about other version :(

[Silent Xenocide]

Has the compatibility list increased at all? I'm about to go try some.

[gdmk]

I have chosen the savetype.and the old version can save and load ,the new version can't.

[Lino]

Sorry, but I have not changed anything in that part of code. Are you sure? What game?

[gdmk]

0098 - SD Gundam G-Generation DS (J)
0484 - Rockman ZX (J)
0524 - Final Fantasy III
0525 - Rune Factory - Shin Bokujou Monogatari (J)
0576 - Pokemon Pearl (J)
0918_-_Tokimeki_Memorial_Girls_Side_1st_Love_JPN
1157 - Itadaki Street DS (J)
all can't save or load.

[Lino]

Have you tried with the manual save?

[Serio]

It appears ideas got much stricter with the saves now. While before i was able to run cv por saves with both 64 and 512 eeprom settings, now 512 returns a wrong file.

Also castlevania portrait of ruin now freezes on emblem creation. Speed improved, but some of the palettes are now displayed incorrectly as well.

Edit: Interestingly, if i chose the right save format at the start of the program it doesn't recognise it. But when i stop the game and reload it, then reset the format it works. Resetting doesn't work with that.

[gdmk]

yes,I have changed the save type. but still can't work.

yes,butyou close the emu,then start the emu again the save file wil be cleared.

[Serio]

No, I mean start emu, start game, choose savefile format. Savefile will be unrecognised, so press stop and open the game again, select correct format and press play. It works for me when I do that.

[kismayas69]

wooooooooooooooowwwwwww now i gonna use wanna these version thanks lino great development for the project......rock on!!!!

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Errr...don't press play...that's for recording...or at least it was....

[gdmk]

it don't work for me,when I start game,press stop and open the game again,the save file will be cleared.

[Lino]

Sorry, but there is a bug in emulator,it doesn't create the file sav, perhaps i release a small update.

[gdmk]

wait for your update:)

[Mad]

Glad to hear about this new version.
Keep the great work!

[sigmax]

Thanks for the update :D

[MartinJ]

Appreciate the Hard work Lino, Keep It Up:thumb:

[Lino]

Ok,is available for the download the new file. Thanks

[gdmk]

good new,thanks:D

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Cool thanks Lino...I never noticed yesterday XD...then again I never had time to play propperly and therefore never saved anything.

[cloudsBro]

There is a big improvment upon the previous release, great work.
Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin runs more faster now:)

[Cobalt]

Damn GJ! :thumb:

[LightningLockey]

The largest improvement was the music in the game. It is almost perfect, the 'almost' part is that it stutters with pauses during game play of Castlevania DoS. When I pause the game to equip stuff, the music plays at normal speed and sounds flawless. The sound effects are well improved too.

The second is speed, for the most part, Castlevania plays the same unless there are no 3d effect backgrounds and no enemies. Then it runs at normal speed (blazing fast from what I'm used to). The speed is more consistent, it used to slow down to a crawl before the screen would go white.

The only new problem I noticed was the rooms between levels now has messed up graphics. Reminds me of what an old messed up NES game would look like. I'll see if I can get two screens to compare these rooms with the old and new version later on.

The hard work is well appreciated. Keep up the great work!

(me):bow: (lino):agree:

Realy God News
:D

[ShadowFX]

Ok,is available for the download the new file. Thanks
Lino, will it be possible in the future to implement a Window x2 or x3? The current window size is a bit small on higher resolutions. Thanks :thumb:

[Cheapshot]

Is the sound a bit crackly after a while for anyone else? If it wasn't for that, Phoenix Wright would be perfect.

[LightningLockey]

You can right click it, select properties and select compatibility and check the box to force it to open in 600x400 mode. It makes the game bigger, but if you want to do anything else, gotta shut ideas down which really sucks. If you play Castlevania with it like that, gotta use task manager to shut ideas down or your stuck at that mode after exiting it (for some reason ideas.exe won't stop on its own).

[Noja87]

Hehe, this is great. MMZX is close to perfection. The cutscenes are more fast and they almost say their lines now :D

Fix:640x480

You will also have to set your taskbar to auto-hide itself.

[f1r3f0x]

an "always on top" feature would be apreciated :D

[ShadowFX]

Fix:640x480

You will also have to set your taskbar to auto-hide itself.
That is why I'm kinda hoping for a build-in solution. Bigger window size or full-screen option.

[MartinJ]

doesn't anyboy else think there should be 512k Flash save added?:eyemove:

[kismayas69]

master lino can i ask something what spec's requirement for your project "iDeaS" pls give me some idea.. i will buy some new parts of my pc next month so i can use your project more faster than i have right now

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Don't be a fool kismayas69...don't upgrade for an emulator that's still this early in it's development....the requirements could be just about anything...rather buy the real deal (a real DS)...or an extra flash-cart or an original game or some other cool DS accessory.
Only upgrade if you want a better PC anyways, or need it for PC gaming or video editing or some line of work.

[Tony Luey]

Do you have any ideal how Action Replay works on iDeaS?:)

[Dualscreenman]

While booting, Lunar Knights the bottom screen flickers between the image that's supposed to be displayed and the image on the top screen.

This also occurs on the main menu.

[Serio]

The only new problem I noticed was the rooms between levels now has messed up graphics. Reminds me of what an old messed up NES game would look like.That's because of the palette error i mentioned earlier. It seems while working on the speed the palettes were broken/reverted back to few versions ago.

Portrait of ruin now crashes less with the speed improvements though which is a plus.

[Clord]

This emulator is good because it emulates games proper speed. Emulators like no$gba fail to understand dual cores right and start skip frames etc even when it can handle NDS games without frame skipping faster speeds than real NDS.

[kismayas69]

theres a minor bugs in Rockamn ZX advent the characters is missing in the game but is playable without the characters hehehehe..... ill post the screen shots later on

[Lino]

Do you have any ideal how Action Replay works on iDeaS?:)

Shift+C open the Cheat List, insert your code and then enable Cheat List with Options->Cheats->Disable Cheat List (uncheck).Resolved.:D

[Hiei-YYH]

I'm hoping for a complete debugger for cheating purposes too xD

[Light Fire]

Hi, why when i load a game the screen is always black??? i press execute and the same

[Lino]

what game game is always black?I want to know it.

[Light Fire]

with harvest moon DS and pokemon dungeon blue and this is happening with all ideas versions.Do i need firmware, bios or something??

[gdmk]

They are playable,I think you played them with No$gba before,and encrypted rom.

[kismayas69]

Looks as if something went wrong after you tried to fix the issue with Etrian Odessy Lino. Which you did really well by the way.

only 242x278? my screenshots are 256x384? What game?

It's DragonBall Z Supersonic Warriors 2. Here's some better pics.

Also, in the second pic, this glitch always happens before a fight, maybe that info might help you a little more.

[Lino]

Excuse me, but where the problem is? Does the background lack?
Thanks for screenshots.

[MartinJ]

All I'm trying to say is that there are some layers missing in the background. In the 1st screenshot the "green" parts are supposed to be mountains.

[Babygino13]

the same thing is happening im my pokemon diamond (US) and when i try to do the save state in the emulator it doesnt load or loads the game with a black screen

http://http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1498/screenjw6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[RockmanForte]

The funny thing is that people complain about pokemon. Give the developer a break. He probably has a job, and maybe even a life. He will try to gather an information until he knows the cause. He will fix whatever the problem is soon. Not just for Pokemon, mind you but for any games too. Jeez!

[Hiei-YYH]

those are the pokemon fanatics that we all know :rotflmao:

[Babygino13]

i forgot to say that Lino did a great job on this project and IMO it is the best ds emulator out there. Good Job Lino.

[kismayas69]

its concrens me that other games are can't read their *.sav file in other games otherwise they import them before playing....still waiting to play ZXA hihihi...

[RockmanForte]

still waiting to play ZXA hihihi...

Are you kidding ?

current playing in NDS Regular
Rockman ZX advent(playable)

Are you telling us the truth ? oO Then why wait ? :heh: Go and play this game on your DS. You're not making any sense. :rolleyes: There is no sense in waiting for this emulator when you already have your DS. :???:

[kismayas69]

im just borrowing a DS regular to my cousin and i have a supercard SD i just wanna try it.... im just a poor boy a rockman adik....

[RockmanForte]

im just borrowing a DS regular to my cousin and i have a supercard SD i just wanna try it.... im just a poor boy a rockman adik....

Oh, that's understandable. You will be alright. :thumb: Yeah, we will have to wait patiently. Don't worry... Time will fly fast. :D

[sigmax]

Rockman zx advent is very easy but is nice :)

anyway i will submit some bugs later :p or tomorowoO

[Uiriamu]

Now piracy is allowed in this forum? :~

By the way, great emu Lino, I'm just sad he helps piracy. Doubt if someone here even have a DS (I do).

[Babygino13]

I have a DS too. Dont be so quick to judge

Don't judge me because I live in Brazil, plz =D

[Hiei-YYH]

Don't judge me because I live in Brazil, plz =D

I'm not saying about you in specific, but the majority buy pirated games.

[kismayas69]

sure youve said it piracy is bad but the real deal is you spend because you got the money to buy but for us we don't have we use our heads....

[Serio]

Guys stop talking about it. Piracy or no, this is ideas release topic not the morality of pirating games topic.

Anyway i'm sure you're aware of this, but:

1.0.1.6 ------------------------------------------------ 1.0.1.7
http://serio.i-xcell.com/image/1016.pnghttp://serio.i-xcell.com/image/1017.png

The face portrait is using wrong palettes again. Same happens to some backgrounds, boss rush images etc.

Nice speed boost though. :D

[ShakirMole]

nice images... maybe the rapid speed increase is causing wrong interpretation

[Tony Luey]

Face portrait didnt bother me at all. As long it able to play longer. I turn off the sound, because too much static. I too have flashcart also, but for testing the game before buying the original. One game cost 1.5 to 3k pesos sold in my country.:rotflmao:

[LightningLockey]

How did you get past the room with the giant ram that chases you? After I get threw it ideas locks up. Both .6 and .7

[Serio]

I usually use memory hacking tools and stuff. First I go to a saveroom and save, then modify the player position to move myself to the room before Dracula. Then suspend and reload and I'm in the room I was when suspended. Then defeat Dracula and the game is saved in that room permanently.

But this one here is from my imported savefiles.

[Gladiator@]

seeing where you're from, you can't just say anything about piracy :dead:

Yeah, now we have an ignorant japanese that (obviously) don't know nothing about Brazil saying stupid things.
This is prejudice, not information.
You are an idiot Hiei.

First off, that conversation was already OVER then you came with that **** like always...
That is the THIRD time that you came and answered me with a ignorant post, next time I'll report you.

Oh, and by the way... I think everyone knows Brazil reputation about modchips and pirated games, or I'm wrong? If I'm japanese, North American or Mexican it make any difference in the end? :angry: just STFU dude, and again, I DID NOT TALKED WITH YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you're Brazilian and buy original imported games like Uiriamu, good. I don't have anything against, i said that the MAJORITY (and after that answer i believe that you make part of that majority) otherwise, F*** OFF and don't quote or even answer me anymore or you'll get reported for flaming. Go play your emulators dude and leave me alone.

YES, i HATE ppl who doesn't support anything for the console companies. if you don't have a lot of money that's ok, not everyone has, but at least buy the damn console/handheld since you download illegal roms.


damn, that retard just make a good thread another flaming one... i hate those noobs.


please mods, delete this and this guy post. it's just waste of time argue with him, he's just a flamer.

[Uiriamu]

YES, i HATE ppl who doesn't support anything for the console companies. if you don't have a lot of money that's ok, not everyone has, but at least buy the damn console/handheld since you download illegal roms.

Indeed, that's what I think too. It's because the companies you have that games to play, at least support a little.

I have a flashcard too, but I use in most cases as a mp3/dpg player and to run homebrew. If I add roms, is for testing before buy. (I just can't spend my money - very little money - to buy crappy games)

Nothing compares to a original game, with box, manuals and etc...with piracy you just can't give the game it's proper valor. (And is a crime, you know?)

Aniways, it's off topic xD

It's only me or the sound is lagging the emu? Needs more work in that. But is amazing to see most of the games booting and going ingame, great work Lino.

I wish I could. In fact, if I could afford one, I would buy a DS, and perhaps even a PS2 or Wii, seeing the amount of awesome games they have.

The thing is, though, that a PS2 alone costs around 330 dollars, while something like a DS costs like 220 dollars. Don't even get me started on the more expensive consoles...

A 40 GB PS3 costs around 1200 dollars.
Now, would you buy any of those consoles for those prices? And importing wouldn't work, because basically no country exports to where I live(and those that do generally charge a lot).

work harder and save a bit, ps2 is out since 2000 :P if you saved some money you could have one by now.

by the way, 40gb ps3? i thought there was only 20gb, 60gb and 80gb (new one)

[Matis]

Sorry, meant the 20 GB one.

And, it's easy for you to say. Over here, a dollar is worth 3.12 pesos(our currency), and we get paid in pesos. A VERY good job(and I mean VERY good) nets you around 5000 pesos a month.

A PS2 would cost roughly 1000-1200 pesos(a normal one, not even a slim one), and even then, you are not allowed to work until you are at least 18(we don't have those "summer jobs" people have elsewhere).

Besides, my dad is not going to waste a third or so of his monthly income JUST to buy me a PS2.

(and for your information, the PS2 has been out in the NORTH since 2000. It got here around 2001-2002. Lame, I know, but it's what we have)

[Hiei-YYH]

ah, so you don't work yet... guess you can't complain then lol
But even if ps2 was 5000 there, it's 7 years (ok, 5-6 for you) someone who works can save a bit and buy one or I'm wrong?

[sigmax]

Matis just save money

i remenber when i was a child i save money on my piggy bank to buy a snes and guees i bought it:D

if you really want to buy somethig save money is your answer.

wow, a complete debugger already? O_O even breakpoints? that's excellent :)

lol this is shareware like no$gba :(

yes it's a complete debugger with breakpoints, memory bp, variables inspector and etc etc. For now it isnt freeware even if some features are present in the actual version.:)

[R4F43L]

well, I downloaded ideas, but don't start the emulator...
what's wrong ? :(

you became annoying with that kind of post (remind me the pokemon freaks fans:dead:)

stop posting like that is SPAM

If you have a real ds just play the game on it;)

[Serio]

The debugger idea sounds good. As long as palette and tile/texture viewers are in and functional I'm all for it, it helps a lot with some stuff. :P

[Hiei-YYH]

I just need the breakpoints for code hacking xD hope the freeware version has at least a basic version of it.

i actually don't get it what do you mean, but I'll probably use the assembler in order to create asm subroutines lol

[ShakirMole]

great idea about the debugger that way iDeaS will have more people looking into it and obviously better fixes.

yes, but still you have to pay like yes$gba, so no much difference :rotflmao: I'm not saying that lino debugger is bad or something, but if i was willing to pay for a debugger, i would go to yes$gba. :dead:

[kismayas69]

id like to test this debugger in ideas to test some bug whats missing

[Lino]

In iDeaS there is already the debugger with the visualization of the source code, you try to load a elf file.

[kismayas69]

where can i find an elf file in the rom?

[Lino]

You must have the source and to compile it you. I don't release an emu to make the reverse of a rom

[kismayas69]

imagine u need iDeaS rather than speed like the Wifi that lino is working on is few words but massive concept so u need to know what u are doing rather than just doing it all quickly so ppl like me have to wait for it to work well rather than asking for it to be developed quickly

Leave Lino alone. :innocent:

any codes for all charakters?

[Hiei-YYH]

any codes for all charakters?

why do you ask? the code isn't working in ideas, at least i tried. or you're asking to use in real ARDS?

Besides, that code should work for all characters.

POINTER (02140254) + 14h = LIFE (All characters).

[Bass]

So, I finished the GBA levels of Phoenix Wright. However, after that comes a chapter specially written for the DS. This includes looking at evidence in 3d mode. However, this doesn't work (the wallet you find is supposed to show in 3d on the lower screen, but doesn't).

Did anybody get this to work?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

No emulator supports enough 3D for that part yet as far as I know.

[shashClp]

Well, it's related to the 3D core and how the "picking" of objects is usually done by DS games. I've a have a half working implementation (http://i18.tinypic.com/5yjxurk.png). It's not hard to support it, so I guess Lino will do on upcoming versions :)

[Bass]

Neat! Can you share that with us, or is it not an iDeaS plugin?

[shashClp]

It's not an Ideas plugin, neither I know how to write one for Ideas (neither I checked how :P).

[Hiei-YYH]

Neat! Can you share that with us, or is it not an iDeaS plugin?

Like he said, it's an desmume implementation, and like all his implementations, are just for his personal use. :dead:

[kismayas69]

still we don't have any update from lino's project hope that we still know what comes up

[kismayas69]

im still holding on in this game without the characters sob

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

How would a screenshot saying DeSmuME at the top be an iDeaS plugin????

[ShakirMole]

lol just wait for Lino pretty sure he is upto something and obviously as everyone knows wait till august 11 for the next release of DeSmuME

[Hiei-YYH]

Didn't you finished this on your NDS yet? I don't see why are you expecting this to be playable in emulators so fast...

[RockmanForte]

im still holding on in this game without the characters sob

That's enough. You are very annoying. Do not repeat "Rockman ZX" in this thread all the time. It's annoying. oO :eyemove:

DANGER!!! ROCKMAN FREAK FAN ON THIS TREAD :rotflmao:

[Hiei-YYH]

i want to hack this game too, but i can't. So i have to play fair for now :P and I'm not complaining about that am I?

I have a Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 @ 3.2GHz and CV: Dawn of Sorrow runs very slow even though the FPS counter says 60FPS or more most of the time. The audio also skips alot and doesn't play smoothly.

Is this how it should run? I'd have figured with my CPU I'd get smooth gameplay.

[Zerosu]

Um, quick question, is Etrian Odyssey supposed to be playable with this? I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what but... the game has severe, game-breaking issues when I try to run it... and I've got a pretty nice system. I actually have the cart but I'm hoping for an emu that will play the rom so I can delete my friend's characters and he can just emulate the game xD

[Serio]

I was originally sceptical to this, but after having tested the whole screen filtering I noticed, that if I set the screen smoothing thing to 4x the dark lines that run all over the 3d objects mostly disappear from the screen (they can still be visible in some cases and mess the otherwise perfect screenshot up, but that's rare and I guess it'd need some permanent code fix to remove them from the graphic drivers).

So I ask, would it be possible to force Ideas to use some screen smoothing, enough to remove the lines, but not too much so that the screen wouldn't become a blurry mess until the lines are hacked out/removed from the drivers?

Edit: XD Oops. Fixed. :P

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

You mean iDeaS of course...

[freebie0001]

i would like to see a transparency fix soon :D

[kismayas69]

we don't any news of lino's projects yet ......huh? it seems he workin on his project hope the outcome of the iDeaS will be more....

While it's not how the game should really run, it's as best as it will run in iDeaS so far. Why? Mostly because 3D is not fully emulated yet, and while iDeaS CAN get the speed to make it work at 100%, it can't load the 3D fast enough(because it's not yet fully coded, as I've already said).

Simply wait a couple of more versions. Maybe it will work by version 1.0.2.0? Don't think so, but one can only hope. ;)

[kismayas69]

in the next version will be more slower because he add up the 3D core codes in the project. thats my foresight in this next version...

[Agetian]

Does anyone know what happened to the official website? I wanted to redownload the latest version because I accidentally deleted it instead of the older revision, so I clicked on the link in the first post of this thread, where it said "moved temporarily". However, clicking on the "moved temporarily" link led to a different website that seemingly had nothing to do with iDeaS... :( Does anyone know where the official website with the latest release is located at the moment? Thanks in advance.

Simply delete the space between ideas. and newsit.es. >_>

I don't think the site exists anymore....At least I can't see it. it keeps on taking me to another site that's not ideas related.

Yeah, it didn't work for me now.

nop maybe he working on another site that's why he is not replying
/me hopes he has huge update for iDeaS too

It's not like it matters, he knows about us here and can let us know of any new releases if he wants to.

what really would be nice is a rom swapping, to use some cheat devices XD well, to early to get these things fully functional anyway... but lino, do you think this is possible?

I've tried using Sonic Rush and it freezes when i get to the end of the first level, but great progress nontheless since i last tried it
Keep up the good work :D

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

No clue why I am posting this exactly...I guess it can't really help Lino (he must have noticed, as must lots of others)...but this emu has a tendancy to prerender things somehow.
Like on some games it will prerender someone standing somewhere, but then it will refresh and you watch the preson actually walking from offscreen to that spot.

Let's say (and this is purely an example) you want to load a room with some chairs in it, what should happen is that you start outside the room and the door opens and the camera moves through the door and shows you the inside. What iDeaS will do is show you let's say a Table in the room. Then it will refresh and show you the outside and then perform the motion you original wanted and move the camera through the opening door and show the table with a lamp on it and some chairs around it.
How this is possible from a loading point of view just about gives me a headache it's so confusing.

I mean you would think game loads from what you see first to what you will see last, iDeaS almost makes it seem however that it loads the other way round which makes no sense whatsoever to me.

I guess I am just posting this cuz it's been confusing the living daylights out of me for a while now. Not to mention the spoiler potential.
