No$gba v2.2
Notes on New NDS Emulation
--------------------------

Hello to first no$gba version with NDS support. Parts are working fine, parts
are under construction. The most important (missing) things to be aware of
are:

Missing Feedback!
What's up? Feedback on no$gba v2.2a was great, that although it couldn't run
homebrew "libnds" programs. That's been fixed in v2.2b, and I've been hoping
that it'd allow a couple of people to use & test no$gba with their games, and
to get some useful feedback and bug reports from them. From that point of
view, v2.2b has been a total flop, and it seems to have caught even less
interest than my Atari 2600 emulator :-) For v2.2c, if something doesn't
work, please let me know about it!

Major Missing Features
3D Video, Sound, and WLAN emulation are still missing. Sound should be
relative easy to implement, WLAN probably isn't that important yet, and
for the 3D Stuff: I've meanwhile figured out how it works, and hope it'll
be implemented in next updates.

Things that work only with real NDS-BIOS-image
The "decompression-with-callback" BIOS functions are currently working only
if you do have a copy of the real BIOSes as ROM-images (see Installation
and DS Xboo chapters).
Encrypted ROM-images (with encrypted first 2Kbytes of the secure area) can
be used only if the (full) NDS7 BIOS ROM-image is present (which contains
the 1048h-byte decryption seed data).

Minor Missing Features and Glitches
Game screen sizing doesn't work yet. VRAM viewer Tile/OBJ windows don't
work. Some of the new NDS-related 2D-video features (eg. Extended Palettes)
aren't yet working. In the DOS version, the NDS video emulation currently
appears totally distorted.

Help please!
Nintendo appears to use a new file-format (at least a new file-extension)
for debug information (.srl files, rather than .elf files). Any info about
the .srl files would be great!
Info about the Wlan/Wifi hardware would be great, too.

Notes
Use Ctrl+T in debug mode to toggle between the two CPUs.
Oh, and the monetary stuff, my bank account is just about to drop to zero,
so I'll probably need to charge some update fees for future no$gba/no$nds
versions, at least from users whom have registered more than 12 months ago.
Some suggestions on reasonable update fees would be great; what would you
pay, and what do you think other companies would pay?

Anyways, for now, the current no$nds beta version is a free update for all
registered no$gba users. As usually, I'd be glad about some feedback, bug
reports, and maybe a priority list for missing/incomplete features, ie.
what you'd prefer to be implemented in the next update.

Remember, this emulator do not supported nds games at all and it is not playable right now so do not complaint about it. Anyway, it is only a beginning. :)

NOW LEAVE HIM ALONE. :evil: :)

[smcd]

the no$ guy could use some support, his tools are always awesome :)

[Miretank]

That caught my attention. :)
Btw, with DeSmuME source code released, they can do neat things.

[RockmanForte]

Indeed, he could use some support. His GBA emulator is the most accurate I ever seen but I hate this name, lol. No biggie deal, really. ^-^

Now the NDS is part of this gba emulator which is very awesome like a real NDS that allowed to play gba games as well. NICE! :D

[_Zack_]

Yeah its a promising emulator

[Darkfox]

If it were a brand of muffin I'd eat it. But since that is not the case, it does sound good at least. XD

[ninja1]

[diablow]

Anyone tested if it works with nds roms (homebrew and/or demos)?

[RockmanForte]

No for NDS roms which was already mentioned but why don't you test it for the homebrew/demos ? Help is appreciate. :)

[ninja1]

and n$gba released a new version, patch notes here:

http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm

[RockmanForte]

- nds/metroid: metroid demo intro-movie is now working (bg bitmap & bitmap obj)

I did tested but it crashed. I do not understand. Oh well. Good job anyway!

[diablow]

Well, this new version is running some demos and homebrew, not perfect, but a good progress was made. Previous version as I recall didn't run anything at all...

[Gialan]

This emulator only play demo or hombrew...no NDS games working...

[RockmanForte]

This emulator only play demo or hombrew...no NDS games working...

Yes, we know that. Why do you tell us that ? We are not stupids. :)

[WhiteX]

Dude, be more polite.

[RockmanForte]

Dude, be more polite.

No! I am the Dark Rockman EXE. Look at my avatar! I am an evil one!:evil: ;)

Actually, why should he repeat it ? :unsure:

[WhiteX]

No, that´s not the fact of him repeating a stated fact, only that you can be more polite on telling him.

[RockmanForte]

NO$GBA v2.3 released

http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm


3D Video - new in v2.3
All relevant 3D functions should be implemented in no$gba v2.3.
It's still excluding a couple of "cosmetic" effects like Fog, Toon, etc.
In some games, some vertex coordinates appear to be totally distorted,
I haven't yet figured out what is causing the problem.
Bug reports from programmers would be very welcome, especially if you
can track it down the bug to occur only in whatever specific situations...

Go and test those 3D demos NOW!

[Low Lines]

Is no$GBA still in like development wise, as in mainly just homebrew? Cos when it or if it does start run comercial roms (provided that is the intention of it's author) I would start making a list for it too ;)

[RockmanForte]

It will not run nds roms yet...I know he will run it but not right now. I have test a few and all crashes.

[xdaniel_FWB]

My results...

Commercial NDS ROMs: grey-ish screen, then sooner or later the error message "The ROM image has crashed."

DS Download Demos: several are starting, at least. Jump Super Stars' demo is partially playable (see attachment), Meteos as well, others do nothing or crash.

All DS ROMs, commercial and Download Demos, with ARM7 and 9 BIOS: black screens, at least for me.

[Low Lines]

sounds promising, though I think a list might be a little too early :P

[Hiei-YYH]

will be a good emu in future :) this guy who make no$gba is pretty good, for me it's better than vba (in speed), but vba has more tools and cheat support (since i hack game codes)

[RockmanForte]

Awesome and it is worth to watch for! :)

[RENI]

Well..if you use the encrypted roms the "The ROM image has crashed." error will gone.

[RockmanForte]

What do you mean encrypted ? You mean clean rom ? I test with Top Gun (E) and it was crashed. Mine is a clean rom.

Firmware require ?

[Hiei-YYH]

encrypted roms? o_O wtf!?!?!?

[RENI]

What do you mean encrypted ? You mean clean rom ? I test with Top Gun (E) and it was crashed. Mine is a clean rom.

Firmware require ?
The so called "clean rom" is decrypted which means it doesn't have secure area data.If my remembrance is correct,this area contains the excution code of ARM9.The ARM7 will do the job to "decrpyted" this area and extract the code.That's why you saw these words in the doc of no$gba:"Encrypted ROM-images (with encrypted first 2Kbytes of the secure area) can
be used only if the (full) NDS7 BIOS ROM-image is present (which contains
the 1048h-byte decryption seed data)."

[Low Lines]

it makes sense, but why use encrypted roms when 90% of the time, roms are depcrypted? I am guessing it must make it easier to emulate or something?

[RockmanForte]

Ahh, interesting. Maybe he will make this emulator playable with clean roms soon. Hmm..I dont know. Too early to know for now.

[diablow]

Has anyone tried to download firmware from DS and then use it with emulator?

[thepreserver]

Interesting...No$GBA(DS) looks promising, as well as the NintenDS(was that the spelling?) emulator.:)

[Low Lines]

holy shit Yoshi Touch & GO works on it!!! :bouncy: I bought that game and thoroughly enjoyed it. And this is all because of the encryption bit huh? How much stuffing is it patch the roms with the bios? (I am assuming that is what needs to be done)

[Edit]

Wait no sorry, I get it now....

[RockmanForte]

Those are demos I believe. I think they are require to be encypted..not dencypted as "clean rom" which I was told, I think.

[Low Lines]

Those are demos I believe. I think they are require to be encypted..not dencypted as "clean rom" which I was told, I think.
Can't be Rockman, I know 99.9% off all NDS roms and some of those games are most definitely NOT demos ;)

[Hiei-YYH]

it's only me or the nfs2 is upside down XD anyway, all rom dumps which you can find in internet is decrypted, how in world this guy has those encrypted roms to make nogba run

[RockmanForte]

Lino,

I will see! :)

Hiei,

that's what I wonder too, lol

[WhiteX]

Is it the first emulator to run 3d?

[RockmanForte]

Lino,


Things that work only with real NDS-BIOS-image
The "decompression-with-callback" BIOS functions are currently working only
if you do have a copy of the real BIOSes as ROM-images (see Installation
and DS Xboo chapters).
Encrypted ROM-images (with encrypted first 2Kbytes of the secure area) can
be used only if the (full) NDS7 BIOS ROM-image is present (which contains
the 1048h-byte decryption seed data).

then why can't it run ? The roms I am having is clean rom and I do not understand this emulator wont since the guy is able to test it ? I do not understand.O.o


Is it the first emulator to run 3d?

Yes, I think it is. Take a look at:


3D Video - new in v2.3

[Low Lines]

Actually no it is NOT the first....iDeaS had some 3D implementation (ie Metroid Prime Hunters - First Hunt Demo).....

Most clean roms won't work because they don't have that 2kb at the start of the file, Diablow did you rip your own copies of those games??

[Clements]

There are tools to encrypt decrypted DS images.

[WhiteX]

Are we making a compatiblity list for that?:D

[RENI]

There are tools to encrypt decrypted DS images.
Yep,two tools exactly.But i think that the authors' permissions are needed to spread the tools.:P

Are we making a compatiblity list for that?:D
Good idea :) or we wait until these missing gx commands are supported.;)

BTW:Nice to see some people agree with encrypted ones finally.:D

[RockmanForte]

No, you need one tool. I test it.

Lino, Phoenix Wright run just fine and better than desmume version! O.o

[RockmanForte]

I did test as well. It is amazing and it is going to getting better every time. This guy is doing a good job!!!!!!!!!

[WhiteX]

Rockmangames, talk to lowlines to see if he wants to add no$gba on his compat list, i´ll try to get ahold of the author to see if he wants low lines compat list to be official.

[RENI]

No, you need one tool. I test it.
LOL I mean there are two tools that can do the encrpte job.=]

This guy is doing a good job!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!Plus the GBA part of his EMU is among the fastest and most accurate EMUs for many years.:D Not to mention his great debugger.;)

[WhiteX]

I emailed him, let´s see what he will make of it.

[RockmanForte]

Rockmangames, talk to lowlines to see if he wants to add no$gba on his compat list, i´ll try to get ahold of the author to see if he wants low lines compat list to be official.

Sure, I will let him know by pm right now! :)

But I am not going to test all. I will need some help with people who know how to test it. It is better if people stop whine and ask how to run things with this emulator. :):evil:


LOL I mean there are two tools that can do the encrpte job.=]

Yes!!!Plus the GBA part of his EMU is among the fastest and most accurate EMUs for many years.:D Not to mention his great debugger.;)

You are right. I am sorry about that. Slap me, will you ? :evil:

[Low Lines]

i don't need to be asked ;) i am basically running off the idea that if an emulator can run commercial roms, then it needs a compat list for it :bouncy:

but if we were to do one....I think some documentation/assistance on how to encrypt roms would be great (considering I am at a lost with that at the moment), unless I suppose that it would be illegal to provide such information....which would be a real pain in the ass :P

I can't start on it right now though....I am supposed to be doing my homework...lol
I'll either get it started later this afternoon (when I update all the other lists) or next weekend ;)

[WhiteX]

We can wait a bit to see how things will develop for the emulator and the encryption than we can get started, this list i´ll help testing too.

[RockmanForte]

Yes, sir! :) :P

[RENI]

You are right. I am sorry about that. Slap me, will you ? :evil:
mmm....where's the /me command?:evil: XDD


....but if we were to do one....I think some documentation/assistance on how to encrypt roms would be great (considering I am at a lost with that at the moment), unless I suppose that it would be illegal to provide such information....which would be a real pain in the ass :P
Agreed.There's another problem.The two BIOSes are COPYRIGHTED material of big N.People have to dump them from their own DS.FluBBa's Nintendo DS Bios Dumper is the first (maybe the only) choice to do this.It's quite easy to use.:flowers:

[RockmanForte]

KID A,

You need to tell people if it is playable, crashes, something like that. Give it a description, ok ? :)

[Kid A]

:P ok ok, sorry. I´ll do that. English is not my first languaje. I´ll do my best. :)

Even if people dumped the BIOS off their own NDS it would still be breaching copyright, plus it would probably conflict with any warranty on your NDS (as I assume is the case)

But anyway, the whole point of these BIOS are so people can run illegal roms anyway ;)


I am more interested in the actual encrypting bit....I mean you could simply say something like.....

"In order to encrpt roms, you need the BIOS

NDSBIOS7.ROM
NDSBIOS9.ROM

though be warned that these are Copyrighted by Nintendo, so having them is at your own risk!! And do not ask or request on how or where to find them, or else you might find yourself banned from EmuTalk." etc ;)

Then you could explain what you do and perhaps provide the tools to do it :P

This is basically how they did it with the Playstation BIOS, so it should be alright I think ;) (Somebody point out if I am wrong or anything ;))

[Hiei-YYH]

lol, can someone at least tell me which tools encrypt those decrypted roms?

if possible, send to my email h.f_at_cheatcc.com the tools ^^

[Hiei-YYH]

Super Mario 64 DS (E)
no touchscreen responsive (see picture)

Bomberman (U)
Playable


CAN you tell me the tools name?

[Kid A]

CAN you tell me the tools name?

I think i cant do that. I think i´ll be breaking the rules. Don´t really sure, but...

[Hiei-YYH]

I think i cant do that. I think i´ll be breaking the rules. Don´t really sure, but...


are you crazy or something? it's only the NAME, i'm not asking you to give me the link, or at least send to my email

_at_ = @





edited: ok, if you don't wanna help, good. i'll wait someone tell me

[RENI]

@Low Lines
K i undertand.But still we should wait the permissions from the developers to reveal the tools IMHO.;) They have devoted a lot of time and effort to solve the myst of the encryption/decryption.:)

@Hiei-YYH
Please be patient,thx.

so you don't have it? ok then :/





edited: someone tested RE Deadly Silence? i just don't understant why can't someone just send those tools to me, i just wanna test nogba, maybe there is a good soul in this world which can share these? I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE BIOS NOR THE LINKS TO THEM, JUST THE TOOLS OR AT LEAST THE NAME, CHRIST >_<

[Sevilla_Forever]

I have a problem with no$gba. I've seen screenshots of games like Yoshi Touch and Go, Wario Ware, Metroid Pinball, Need For Speed, Project Rub... but when I try to use those games with the emulator appear to me the message: "The rom-image has crashed"

Why some people can play those games and I no? I don't understand...

PD: Sorry... I speak English too bad

you need to encrypt the roms to play in nogba, but since the ones who have the tools to make this don't want to share (even the name), nothing can be done

You really shouldn't have tht kind of attitude, it's not friendly and generally unwanted by most people. If it helps, I got no idea on what or how they encrypt the roms, and as much as I would like to see it for myself, it isn't the end of the world ;) Besides, it seems like there is some legal issues here that need to apprehended first (which might explain why I could find bugger all about it on the net) :bouncy:

i think no one gonna die if they share these tools, are they? well, if they don't want, at least say the name (which i don't think is illegal) of those tools to "us" search

[diablow]

My way of running clean roms on NO$GBA is to use NDS Patcher v0.1 by ]{ain (ndspatch) tool.

This program will patch a normal (ie. not a GST release) rom to allow it to load from a GBA flash cart instead of the usual NDS card. It also attempts to patch the saving functions so that it can save on the flash cart's SRAM instead of
using the NDS card's SRAM.


This way no firmware or BIOSes are needed, and it's "more legal" and simpler, but at cost of compatibility. But still, copying firmware from DS is one heck of a job (special cables and stuff).

[Normmatt]

To encrypt the rom you need ndstool (http://darkfader.net/ds/files/ndstool.exe) and use "ndstool -se romname.nds" on the command line or make a batch file for it

[diablow]

Arghhh... It took me almost an hour to find how to encrypt those roms. I enjoyed it, actually. ;)
So, now everybody can contribute to "The New And Improved And Especially Detailed Description of Working and not Working Roms on the Best and Most Compatible Emulator for this Moment" a.k.a. "NO$GBA compatibility list".

[Hiei-YYH]

New Question:
Where does no$gba look for the BIOS??

[Hiei-YYH]

The link to DarkFader's tool is giving me the 404 Forbidden message (been seeing that a lot lately) and I actually went all the way to his site first :p

Also the source code thingo isn't working as well. (link I mean)

Wait no never mind.....Just my stupid security program trying to block everything :p


New Question:
Where does no$gba look for the BIOS??


the link is working for me, anyway, put the bios in same folder where nogba is

[Clements]

I used eNDryptS:

http://www.gbadat.altervista.org/tools.htm

Copy the NDS images into the same folder as the exe. Click the exe and all the images are encrypted. Make sure you kept copies of the originals.

[diablow]

I'll start it on Friday ;)

OK, let's hope there will be no new version of emulator released until then :).

[Low Lines]

OK, let's hope there will be no new version of emulator released until then :).
This is version 2.3 right?

Hmm Let's see.....

Title: No$GBA/NDS
Version: 2.3
First Release: March 13 2002
Last Update: August 4 2006
System: Windows/DOS
Team: Martin

There's a start to it anyway....get back to it on the weekend ;)

[RockmanForte]

Yes, Lino!

It is getting better than desmume. Let's see if desmume will become number 1 but I do not doubt. :P

[ninja1]

wish i could help, but since i dont have a damn idea about how bios work or how to get those ram7/ram9.rom file thingies or sumthing :( i will just watch this play out i guess

[Hiei-YYH]

LOL, it's not ram7 or ram9 XD is biosnds7.rom and biosnds9.rom :evil:

[Normmatt]

Yes, Lino!

Lino!? Lino didnt make No$GBA, Martin did and he has been working on it for years making it a perfect GBA emulator

[Low Lines]

Nah Normmatt, he's meaning me ;)

Rockmangames....I AM LOW LINES, understand? L-O-W L-I-N-E-S :bouncy:

Lino is the brilliant guy who made iDeaS ;) lol

Ninja1, my advice for you is to check the older threads in this forum, (btw there is nothing wrong there so I can't get in trouble ;)) but apart from that yeah, this might just be a sit and watch thingo....I bet when noobs come across these lovely Yoshi Touch & Go screenshots they are gonna be like wtf????

And if anybody wants some reference...use my flash list as it is I think 99.99% of all goodroms (including demos).....also I have been working on a Rom Release List, that uses the CRC32 code as it base and cross references information with my list database.....Though it is missing quite a bit of rom information (stuff that can only be gotten if I actually got the rom) ALL roms (NUKES etc) are included and I have already implemented sorting functions that can manipulate the 4 different types (ie Numbered Roms, Un-Numbered Roms, Demos, Nukes) plus it also has the custom Region viewing as well.....
Basically a more manouverable version of PocketHeaven, which is at current, updated more often as well ;)

Would that be useful at all if I put that up (as I wasn't intending on sticking it up until it was finished)
33654
And yes it is very different to the compat list one because it houses strictly internal rom info and no it can't just be formed together with the compat list one because of the fact there are multiple roms of the same region

[RockmanForte]

Lino!? Lino didnt make No$GBA, Martin did and he has been working on it for years making it a perfect GBA emulator

Nono, I am talking to LOW. I type LINO by mistake, heh!

LINO,

I know. My mistake! :)

It's could to see that people haven't given up on emulating the DS yet, lol. I just want to play Super Princess Peach on my PC because I'm too embarrased to go out and buy it, rofl.

jessman(reborn),
that is only a good reason if you are aged over 40 ;)

seriously, you should not care what people think, in March I went to JB-HIFI (local electronics store) and bought Pokemon Emerald for my little bro for his birthday, and I was served by a teen about 2 years older than me :unsure:

it's the same thing with anime, and yes very off topic but I just want to make a point here....If you really want or like something, don't let other people's opinions affect your decisions or else you quite literally won't ever get anything done ;)

[RockmanForte]

I dont know about that because I never heard people will say, hey..it is too kiddie for you. Well, actually I have heard about that from an older european people but an american people as well ? I haven't heard about that. My father loved the video game..expect Pac man. HEH!

[RockmanForte]

Alright. I will see.

No, I like Nintendo DS (in GBA Mode) to be feeling like an Nintendo DS :P

[RockmanForte]

Good job! It would be nice to see those in pictures but I already test some of those as well. Thank you for your helping, Kid A! :D

[RockmanForte]

I emailed him, let´s see what he will make of it.

Did you got message from him yet ?

[RockmanForte]

perfect, even the 3d effects of the rainbow :)




ps: it's only me or no$gba is crashing if pintscreen is pressed?

Please give the name of the game and what region it is so that people will know what it is. Please edit and thank you!=]

Oh has anybody noticed, but we are already overlapping each others testing (ie people are testing the same game twice)

Yeah, it would be great to edit the first post and bring all the tested games to that post.

[marione]

may i set another language?

[RockmanForte]

What do you mean ? Please explain ?

[marione]

may i change the machine's language (like ideas)?

if it is possible, i may play (example) zoo keeper (E) in Italian

thanks

[ninja1]

at a few posts back ya i am back :P, not hyper active or anything anymroe though :shaun:,well maybe a lil:party:
ohh and i meant those .rom thingies of which i forgot the name already again :P

anyways still all i can do is look :(, cause i am to shy to ask how to get it to work properly :P

anyways @ marione, nope it aint (atleast shouldnt be anyway), neither is it in desmume yet, ideas uses a special bit of coding to activate that

[WhiteX]

Wtf?

[ninja1]

hello to ya to whitex :P

[RockmanForte]

ninja, what are you talk about ? O.o

I am lost.

[ninja1]

ya know ya need 2 certain files to run the no$gba right? :P well i dont have them/nor can i find them T_T so i cant do shit to help the compatability list on this one =(, found a old topic about it, but couldnt get any decent info out there either

[marione]

thanks ninja1, i wait it in future :)

[RockmanForte]

No, actually...3 files! two bios and one firmware. :)

[ninja1]

:( all i have to say i guess :(

selling penguins! :linux: or trade for beer! :party: =)

LOL!
Check your pm.

Sorry but I do not drink the beer. They are sucks! :P

Harvest Moon (Bokujou Monogatari - Korobokkoru Sute-shon) didnt run. Why it is run your, low ? Thanks!

[jessman(reborn)]

Can you at least tell me what the bios files are called? I need something to go on. This sucks that I can't even test the emulator out...

[Low Lines]

Like I said before ALL you need to do is look through the old threads in this forum, that's ALL you need to do (that is how I found them). Then all you need is the common skill of being able to know where to look, looking for the names of the BIOS is pretty useless because the ILLEGAL item that is being referred to is a ZIP file that contains the BIOSGBA.ROM, BIOSNDS7.ROM & BIOSNDS9.ROM ;) But it would be much easier if you stuck to my advice and stopped asking or someone might get in trouble for it :unsure: Ninja1, you should try harder :flowers:

Though all I am doing is exploiting the information posted in this Forum, which I am sure has been viewed by the Moderators, so I don't think I am doing wrong in making a notion towards it, though I probably shouldn't say anything....But it is one of those complications, that sorta disadvantages NO$GBA :(

[NoNick]

where do I need to put those files?? in what folder??

[RockmanForte]

Yay Ninja1 worked it out :bouncy:

Well I don't know Rockmangames, maybe I might have fiddled with the settings or something I don't know :unsure: None of the settings did anything when I played with them, except for the brightness one.

[EDIT]

Evrain suggested it might be a hardware/drivers issue or something...here's my stats (or well what I know about anyway)

OS: XP SP2
CPU: AMD Sempron Processor 3300+ (2.01 GHz, 192 MB of RAM)

[ninja1]

me neither i didnt do anything, well maybe a lil but nothing with brightness anyway :nuke:

just a small question does compatability depends on ur 3d video card? Oo or the settings ya use.... if so, we gonna have alot on our hands =X

[jessman(reborn)]

I finally got the correct files, but how do I use them? They're named properly and are in the folder as n$gba, but it crashes like the bios files aren't even there! do i create a Bios folder or something? There's no option in the emulator for a bios dir or anything! This is bull crap. The emulator doesn't work right. I've tested a few games that are reported to work, and it just crashes over and over again. Damnit!

[RockmanForte]

HEY!!! You need to be nice or we will not help you out, ok ?!

"damnit" is not going to do you any good. Someone already tell how to use your roms. Your roms will need to be encryptions because that required it and it is done right here and you will need to search this pages to give you an answer.

Your attitude is not acceptable to the point of our view, ok ? Next time, be polite and change your attitude, alright ? :)

Cheers,

Rockmangames.

[Hiei-YYH]

Mine is:

0100 - Bokujou Monogatari: Korobokkoru Sute-shone (J)(WRG)
Original CRC32: 3829343F
Encyrpted CRC32: 4926DDCE

I still cannot see this again. That's weird.

Whac-A-Mole (U) - MENU only

him: Encyrpted CRC32: B8C29BC5 (encrypted with ********)

you: Encyrpted CRC32: 4926DDCE (encrypted with ********)

those crcs are different, so it's a different file (he used different program to encrypt so that's why) there's nothing with ghraphics card or something else

[RockmanForte]

I know that there is nothing to do with graphic card because I didnt say that. :)

But that's alright. I do not like this game anyway, heh! :P

This emulator is a few months to a 6 months to improvement anything. Can't wait! HEH!

Bugger that, there are like 550 games after all ;)
Rockmangames, when you checked the CRC32 code for your Encrypted Harvest Moon (J) rom.....Was the Secure Area identified as "OK" or "BAD".....because in all public roms, (generally) it is bad, because that 2K has been removed for Flashcart purposes, but when you encrypt it, it obviously fixes.
Also I generally would recommend just using DarkFader's tool, mainly because he has a lot more experience and knowledge on the Nintendo DS, especially since he was the first to produce a proper NDS rom.

[RENI]

OK.The reason why you got different CRCs when using eNDryptS and ndstool is very simple.
SolidSnake and Drakfader use same method to encrypt the secure area.The reason why they got different CRCs is because the ways they deal with the area 1000h-4000h are different.Currently this area is normally not readable by any kind of method.So SolidSnake 's eNDryptS doesn't modify this area.But Drakfader's NDSTool generates some random datas here.So you get two CRCs.

I thought things such as time of encryption and that would affect the CRC32, because I don't think the same rom encrypted twice at different intervals would be the same. :unsure:

[ninja1]

which is exactly my point, but if they aint the same, one gotta be better, but which one?

i know ***** is easier, simply because ya can change an entire directory in a single shot but if the other one is better we should use that one for testing and not *****

They are the same.They get the same secure area and the area between 1000h-4000h is sensless and no longer required.This method is perfect and has been used for many months.That's all.

******** is easy too, just make a ink and put -se in command (proprierties)

like this

"D:\*\********.exe" -se

then select a rom and move to this ink (you can only convert 1 rom per time)

OK, i edited that post and i am asking you guys to edit all posts that use the tools names until we find for sure the legality of such tools.

I understand that No$GBA uses encrypted roms because that is the way they present themselves when taken out of the carts, decrypted roms are roms hacked by Warez groups, therefore pirated roms.

No$GBA uses only "backup" copies, legal ones as we know now, i´ll look into the legality of these tools and post it later, up until then i´ll ask you fine lads to edit posts with such names and refrain from posting them.

[Hiei-YYH]

ok :)

[RockmanForte]

you're talking this only because you have only to press the exe and the program run it self? lol

Yes, you can press the exe and the program run itself. I cannot tell you the name of the tool but it is able to and ndstoll wont do that expect you will have to go to DOS. :)

Make sure you have NDS patcher and the rom in the same folder and use MS-DOS to patch filename.nds to filename.nds.gba

[denash]

Make sure you have ********* and the rom in the same folder and use MS-DOS to patch filename.nds to filename.nds.gba

In the instructions it said I should just drag the nds file into the application ********** and then it would create a "filename .nds.gba" file. is this maybe wrong?

You can do that too. I test it your way. 0100 - Bokujou Monogatari - Korobokkoru Sute-shon (J) (WRG).NDS.GBA is able to run too!

Here goes No$GBA discussion, doubts and all that.

Thanks.

Yeah...um can people tell me who did the testing :( i didn't get a credits list up....
Here's the people i can recall off memory

Rockmangames, diablow, Kid A, Low Lines, ninja1, RENI, Hiei-YYH

I'm really sorry cos I know I've missed some people, but just send me a PM so i can get everyone's names. Thanks, and I doubt I'll be to do this list right now because I got homework, so I'll have to look at it next weekend (provided I am cleared of the projects I am getting right now)

[WhiteX]

It seems that i screwed up on this one, sorry.:(

[diablow]

I see this thread is splitting a lil bit, but I hope no one will be to much confused or angry about my almost offtopics :)
NDSPatcher is quite limited, and does work on just some roms. If it doesn't produce any .nds.gba files after runing - the rom is uncompatible, it's v0.1, not much to ask of it. But, I think it should be possible to use other similar software (if any exists) or write your own patcher (this should be a hard work).

[Low Lines]

It seems that i screwed up on this one, sorry.:(
WhiteX pack it up ;)
Besides, it'd be easier than me going through the "beast" post for names, if people just send me a PM saying they helped test :evil: Also I may not remember who exactly contributed, but I will recognise/remember though when the name comes to me, so let there be no fake contributers cos I will be able to tell (though I don't see why anyone would do that anyway:unsure:, but just making sure ;))

hmm weird i cant find my lil list anymore in this huge list Xd, anyways if ya included it low lines, delete it, had a bad bios or sumthing too T_T, which explains why my testing results were messed up :)

ok another crazy question, where does no$gba save it's screenshots?
ehh...looks like you can use Paint then paste the shot and save it.
no$gba's screenshot function is just a press of the PrintScreen button IMHO.

I knew the creator of No$gba would eventually implement the ds emulation into his no$gba emu, but im a little confused about encyrption/decryption. If anyone has a program for doing this stuff, could you pm me the download link? I also wish the creator the best of luck with this nds emulation ;).

The tool that you need is already mention here. Read carefully:




All the documentation backing it up can be seen on tepples post, we may discuss these tools now but with some discretion not to make this board some sort of NDSTool helpdesk for n00bs. :)

Bingo, "NDSTOOL" is what you need. The google is your bet to find it. ;)

there is WLAN support too?

there is WLAN support too?


maybe if you read the news :ph34r:

Major Missing Features
Sound, and WLAN emulation are still missing. Sound should be relative easy
to implement. WLAN should be quite simple, too. I'd still need a second
NDS console for testing communications.

NYF,

please go to no$gba site because we already mentioned that and we are not going to tell you again. :)

has nayone tried metroid prime pinball? It runs with full compatbility but is sloooooooooooow. Except in the first level as soon as the pests show up the game speeds up to near 100% speed, I found it odd it started working fast when the bugs went on screen but before it went really slow.


anyone else notice that?

[RockmanForte]

That's normal. It is not perfectly ......... YET! :)

[earbodig]

yeah I know, just find it odd how it speeds up when there are more things happening on screen :P


Oh, it was also very fast on the level select menu, the rest of the menu was slow...

Enjoy it while you can. The emu will get better in months. :)

heh, I think I speak for the vast majority when I say that I think I'll enjoy it even more come the next couple of months :P :)
