DesMuMe mods !!!

If you are able to build the latest official CVS from it's sources, you'll see it working perfectly (just tried).

I never heard of CVS... and I'm terrible with sources

Bad habit of leaving some info out it tends to freeze when I try to pause the emulation.

That is normal, alpha test doesn't work with mod2. It will be fixed in mod3.
Simple explanation : a texture is a square-shaped image, but the image on it can be not square-shaped, so there will be "transparent" pixels having the first color of the texture palette. Alpha test allows to don't render these pixels. But Alpha test is broken, so these pixels are rendered and that makes color squares being rendered around the textures.

If you want to compile the source, don't compile it in Debug mode, else you'll get an error "fopen.c : debug assertion failed "file!=_T("\0")"" on startup and your emu will be VERY slow.

How do I compile the source?

It's not broken on CVS, it works flawlessly. It's just a matter of using the CVS oglRender.c (or whatever is called, the openGL 3D core), and it'll work flawlessly.

Oh, and you explanation of the DS alpha transparency is a wrong. The DS can use alpha test and alpha blending, and the transparent pixels can be different than palette 0. Check the texture formats, and you'll see why.

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it :P

[NHervé]

Daejien : You need an IDE such as Visual Studio, create a Win32 app project, add DeSmuME files and build it in Release mode.

[Mad]

I used to compile using dev-cpp.
Dunno if the project file has been updated lately.

I didn't test it lately, but due to probably won't compile due to some missing files only added on the VisualC project. As you know, I don't use DevCPP :P

[Mad]

Yeah i know, but its not that hard to update the project file.
If you know what files are missing...

Shash : I wonder if DeSmuME's HLEd bios is correct. Maybe some games such as Worms2 and RaymanDS need the real bios, and so they won't start on DeSmuME whereas they start on NeonDS and all other emus that have a real bios dump.

Get some information about WHY they would need the real bios, else it's just pure speculation that will only lead to you loosing time. Remember that all times that you stated that the bios could be wrong, the reason was elsewhere. Anyway, I know that something related (but not running on) the bios is wrong on desmume, but it's long to explain.

REAL BIOS? Who? When? Where?

Thanks.


It had to be an ISO file...

[dreampeppers99]

Lino rula!

[NHervé]

Shash : Are RaymanDS and Worms2 working on your DeSmuME ? If not the problem could be the bios.

I guess you're talking about the express edition, else you should read the forum rules, really.

I can't test it now, I'm busy as hell. If you're not sure if it depends on the GFX FIFO, just log writes to GXSTAT and read the log.

[Daejien]

Actually sir, I am talking about the express edition.

[NHervé]

Shash : RaymanDS is freezing on this instruction in ARM9 :

MCR CP15, 0, R0, CR7, CR0, 4

which means "wait for IRQ", and the IRQ never occurs. Maybe it's "IPC FIFO not empty" IRQ.

[dreampeppers99]

NHervé thanks so much by your efforts.
And congratulations by your hardly work.

[BMarques]

No offense dreampeppers but are you doing a favor to someone ? you keep thanking him after any of his post ...

[dreampeppers99]

BMarques, i'm not making favor for anyone, but I wont repeat it [thanks].
