Looks like it's working, to me!
Shame about the issues, but at least you're starting to get somewhere with it.

This is getting irritating, I can get the RGB values correct OR I can get the pixel spacing correct, not both. Dammit!

Woahhh! Best of luck with porting an emulator! I wouldn't know where to begin with that!

Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

I'm using FrodoDS as a starting point so most of the leg work is done already. Just a case of figuring the nutso screen out and redoing the file selectors and stuff. (hopefully)

currently it only loads one game, which is binary included in the build. need to do a file browser and lower screen stuff from scratch, grrrrr.

Keep at it, and we'll soon have Sen3DSitive!

Now to figure out what the hell I commented to stop the audio system from giving me a million errors, then reenable it....

Cool.

How are you running this BTW - is it purely emulator based or on actual hardware?

Mostly emulator atm, for speed. But it runs fine (as expected) on hardware, using ninjhax. looks like it'll still need a frame skip, not 100% sure though, hard to tell without sound.

I have the keyboard mostly working, just need to add support for special keys (ctrl, shift, cmb etc)...



If only the 3DS had a tiles gb mode, what a waste of ram/storage. Coupled with the fact that the screen is sideways and I don't like the idea of hand pixeling the whole bottom screen every frame (I already have to do that with the top screen!)...

It doesn't do tiles?! .. Yikes!!!

I haven't seen any info on it yet, but from what I have read so far, you only get two bitmap buffers for the top screen (left/right eyes) and one for the bottom. Apparently also in the official dev kit, you have to do the 3d stuff manually, theres no auto 'make it 3d' function.

Hit a snag,

1. Can't get any sound out of the thing. Two reasons for this, 1. Can't figure out how frodo is outputing the sound. 2. Can't get a 3DS audio example to work, so don't actually know how to play a sound.
grrr.

2. Can't find any info on the web about implementing the CMB or CTRL keys in combination with other keys. Can only send them as single keys. Really not helpful.


|edit| Can anyone think of a good name for this? It seems a bit boring to call it 'Frodo3DS'...

Gave up on getting the ctrl + another key and cmb + another key working. It doesn't look like frodoDS had those either and nobody noticed, so I'll leave them out.

Just need to come up with some sort of file selector, which is what that crap in the other post is for. I hate c/++.

Drive LED's (one at lease, haven't had a chance to test properly.

... I wonder if I can use an actual LED on the 3DS for that...
