It seems that Lino has released a new version of iDeaS, and it also seems that it hasn't caught on yet...
I'm very optimistic right now cos I'm sure that there will be a substantial improvement to the last, even if the touchscreen is still not perfect. I mean just seeing that Castlevania can get a lot further now and that Polarium is doing something that is meant to be just like on the original NDS, I believe the number of games marked as Doesn't Work will hopefully go down (assuming you have used the Flash Database (http://llref.emutalk.net) before.
I would recommend obtaining these bios (though I am not totally sure yet how much use they are) Cos I've been told that iDeaS does use them to a somewhat point.

Also, I will do the same thing ninja1 did with the DeSmuME 0.3.3 Compatibility List (ie keeping all the game tests in a single post), cos I think it is a brilliant idea and it would make the task of putting it into an XML very much easier.

AND if we can get at least 175 games tested by the weekend (which is about 50%) I will try and get the Flash database fully (or close to it) functional, ie with search functions AND cover images. And I'll even get started on game descriptions as well (though I'm a little disapointed no one replied to my request for game description submissions, see HERE (http://www.emutalk.net/ideas/33381-nds-game-descriptions.html)).
Now I might sound like this is all no big job at all or anything, well it isn't really, it's just that I've got things like school work to do which cannot be left aside. But I think that if I really put the effort in I could get it all done by Sunday afternoon, I would just need a reason to put that extra effort in (hence getting half the games tested).

So if you would like me to try and get my Flash database in order ASAP or you would just like a challenge. I want to see if 50% of the games can be tested by Saturday afternoon. Can It Be Done??
:drool:

All games tested will be stored here along with a list of everyone who has contributed so I can give them credit for it in the XML. I will also keep a stats details so you can get an idea as to what comaptiblity is happening...

;), blackscreen games atleast gotta be retested, since they appearantly start after 5 mins, and the time i let them run was 3-4 mins orso on my comp

advance wars dual strike works better because you can now see the landscape if you are playing the game but the game wil start after the blackscreen that is probably after the first 2 mins

Mario and Luigi doesn't have anymore scrambled sprites but the colors on them are incorrect.

hmm response aint very good :(, and dont look at me this time, for sum reason, i dont wanna test most of the games if it gonna take loooonnng to start or if they start to see that they dont work a few screens later :(, like sum do on desmume,

*example*, me *cough* happily *cough*runnin sum (50 orso) roms past the emu, and hey, that game looks kinda cool, nice intro, kinda slow.... *10 mins later* woot it finished, 5 seconds later, damn chrash, bye bye hope for good game :(

*wishes luigi and mario rpg worked :P*

Meteos (U) is playable with few graphic errors.

0331 - Tak 3 The Great Juju Challenge (E) - playable but on the top of the screen in the back ground is blue and invisible so you are not able to do anything because you can't see!

I've been playing around a little bit with it and I think it is worth looking at. For one, the touchscreen is very much perfectly emulated for some games (ie Polarium, i think Puyo Pop Fever too, and others) And most of the games (I've got about 60 games at the moment) that run on DeSmuME do now work on iDeaS...the only thing that separates them is the fact that most sprite rendering is still wrong and also (and I'll highlight this) there seems to be a slight transparency issue with sprites now too. An example of this is in Animaniacs, Lights, Camera, Action (E)...The character's head is transparent (I think this is because it is black).
I am in no way complaining or anything, I'm just being a helpful tester who is very impressed with the progress that is happening with iDeaS.
The firmware language is also a great addition to it too. I mean (and this may sound a little unimpressive but) I can now get Sonic Rush (U) to display English text instead of Japanese which it seemed to be doing on older versions when I tried it.

Metroid Prime Hunters - First Hunt has improved as well, for one, the controls are no longer playing up (they were locked on going left in older versions).
And some other 3D games will in fact GO INGAME, but this does not mean they are perfect and play unbelievably well of sorts. ie Asphalt Urban GT (E,U,J) you can actually see the 3D race course inscreen, but there's so much crap (sort of like a messed up tv) that you can't really see what you are doing, but the 3D is working and at a reasonable speed too I might add.
Need for Speed Underground also goes ingame, but the 3D is only a black screen, but if you watch the touchscreen (while holding the accelerator) the little markers actually move along the track so the game doesn't hand or anything, it's just missing things.
And my final bit of information is that Mario & Lugi 2 (E,U,J) appear to be a little more working than it first seems. Yes Mario and Luigi's sprites are properly showing, but they are only about 80% perfect cos when you move them about they don't always render properly. But for some strange reason, all the other sprites still don't show properly (which is a little strange). But when you get into the battle with bowser, it actually doesn't hang (or at least I don't think it does) cos you can actually now see the shadows (which are rendered in reverse).
I'll post proper tests once I get set aside a fair bit of time to properly test them, but apart from the problems with sprite rendering and touchscreen problems with some games, iDeaS is very close to DeSmuME's level of emulation and I think cos it can do 3D as well as play videos found mostly in intros and that, iDeaS is very much as impressive as it too and is still my favourite!!

Hopefully all this talk might urge a little effort towards this new version...

0332 - Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble (E) - After SlideFilm appears on the bottom of the screen then that's it

0127 - Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney (U) work great without any problem and a few gfx errors but saving is not work. I tried to save it then exit and replaying it and all I do is start over. Guess save is not fixed yet. Otherwise, thats great!

0334 - Itsu Demo Doko Demo Dekiru Igo (J) - Playable but graphics errors and hard to see what you want to pick

0335 - Itsu Demo Doko Demo Dekiru Shogi (J) - Playable but graphics errors and hard to see what you want to pick

hmm, might as well do sum more decent testing, aint got much to do now anyway :P

taking so long to even load i dont think i will, sooo boring :(

0336 - Fifa Street 2 (E) - black screen

i'll get to testing some now... until now i had been playing Phoenix Wright... i wanted to be able to claim to be the first to actually complete a ds game on an emulator but the client crashed near the beginning of the 5th chapter (last chapter)... got a virtual memory error (the program had been taking up 99% of my system resources for the last couple days)... congratulations to ideas for running for 4 days straight until crashing, though...

ps: i'd kill for a save state option... seriously, just tell me who needs to die... *looks around eagerly*

here's some... i'll do more later

a lot of these are labeled "fully playable"... what that means is that i was able to get ingame and play a little... what it does not imply is that the game is finishable... you'll have to decide that for yourself

Woahh... the NDS emulation is progressing very fast !!! I can play Mr. Drill perfectly using the touchscreen... I can hardly wait to see sound support =D

once upon a time, long a go, a leaked emulator had a save option (ensata)... so it is possible, and will prolly re appear soon (i hope :P)

I think you shouldn't mentioned that because it is illegal and copy right by nintendo that was leaked.

But again, I do not think the next leak will ever happened. I doubt, anyway:P

It won't, since Miyamoto is still anally raping every single programmer at Electronic Arts for leaking that Ensata copy. No wonder no other software house is willing to do that :) Besides, there is also a PSP emulator made by Sony, in case someone did want to know, and was originally used to show previews whenever a real system wasn't available; and once again no one is in the mood for violating a NDA and get sued by Sony.
The same mantra applies: buy a real DS and just wait for emulators to improve. First of all because it's a GREAT console (I'll never ever regret buying mine), and then because I wouldn't like to apply that lock I was considering some time ago: will lamers ever learn I won't allow them to play Mariokart for free???
Evrain

You got that right!

I owned psp and nds because they are both wonderfully portable systems and I will always play psp emulator and nds emulator and still keep my portable systems no matter what. You see my signature and you know why I did. I supported them so that emulators can stay alive ..without them there will be no emulators and there will be no tomorrow. :D ;)

No, I am not Japanese. I am just fondly of Super Famicom System and Famicom System and they looks so much better than USA versions of Super Nintendo System and Nintendo Entertainment System.

anyways /me thinks were gettin a tad off topic :P, get back to the topic? :P

Yep!

Anyway, here it is:

0339 - Daikoukai Jidai IV Rota Nova (J) - Everything is fine and playable but slow and the dialogues is blurry a bit until at the very end until you see the map on the top of the screen and on the bottom of the screen with no sprites in it and no back ground to see.

0340 - Super Princess Peach (U) - Intro is fine but the menu have a few gfx errors then ingame on the top of the screen is white with missing sprites in it but on the bottom is where Princess Peach stands in front of you is fine.

0341 - Kim Possible: Kimmunicator (E) - Could not read the data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Card.

0342 - Doraemon Nobita no Kyouryuu 2006 DS (J) - Could not read the data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Card

0343 - Narnia Koku Monogatari Lion to Majo (J) - Could not read the data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Card

Ouch, that makes us take another blow from Desmume... I just wonder whether I should get Lino to focus on that, as well as fixing once and for all Phoenix Wright (which looks a tad better in the last beta), or keep him going on Castlevania and Trauma Center.
Evrain

It is up to you. Whatever you think is best for him. Take care and peace! :D

0344 - FIFA Street 2 (U) - black screen

0345 - Viewtiful Joe - Double Trouble! (F) - Capcom logo, then flash on the both screens and now shown a nice INTRO but SlideFilm on the screen is on the bottom and that's it

If only super mario 64 ds would work.... Then I could start hacking it! The code in super mario 64 ds is 3 times easier to understand than in super mario 64.

Your going to make a hack of mario 64 ds? Oh that is so cool.
I understood what you said too of course, having to wait stinks.

Well, if I haven't forgotten everything I knew about ROM Hacking, a "simpler code" would mean simple pointers and ASCII text...
Oh well, enough, I'll get bck to Trauma Center (hint hint...)
Evrain

0346 - Tengai Makyou II Manjimaru (J) - playable but bad gfx error

0347 - Blades of Thunder II (U) - Intro but if you select "COALITION HQ" then error message here: Could not read the data. Turn off the power and reinsert the DS Card.

But if you select FREEFLIGHT then you got black screen.

0348 - Texas Hold 'Em Poker Pack (U) - black screen with nintendo licensed on the top and on the bottom as well and that's it.

0349 - Ultimate Spiderman (Italy) - Vicarious Versions Alchemy on the bottom is fine but on the top of the screen as Vicarious Versions Alchemy logo is gfx error then freezing.

0350 - Pokemon Trozei (U) - white screen

0351 - Ping Pals France - Wiress is require or it wont be playable

0352 - Bust-A-Move DS - (E) - Fully playable but badly gfx errors

0353 - Lunar Genesis - (E) - On the top is badly gfx error but on the bottom is fine with subtitle in storyline then ingame is having some gfx errors..playable.

0354 - Space Invaders DS - (U) - Fully playable but a little bit slow and only one gfx error is (hard to see the flash to ask to press start or something) but you will notice something with "start" and it worked!

Here's the other half of my testing debut....I'll them to my Flash List soon

The ones in bold & italics are games I do not have so I therefor could not test. If people can fill them in for me it would be much appriciated :bouncy:
