Seems like the author seriously needs some dedicated testers...

It's stated in the homepage that there was a serious bug that prevented sound from playing correctly on newer machines since the time sound was implemented. For god's sake. xD

The EMTK DS emulation ppl offered him to test the emulator and give compatibility results but it seems that he is on dial up and it is hard for him to get results from a website or another source, only text works for him.

Lowlines has hisa compat list made on flash, i think, and the author could not see it without making a prohibitive dload, but i think Rockmangames made friends with him and is giving out compat test results but i agree, he should have dedicated ppl.

Compat list has been in hibernation for a bit (cos of Year 12). Will hopefully get back to it sooner or later Major reason why it's stopped is beacuse the way it loads a list visually choaks up memory with more items. I know how to fix it, but it sorta means I gotta rework the whole code around it because I wrote my code back then when I wasn't smart and made things work only one way

Am thinking maybe if I look into it I could write up a simple executive xml list viewer, which could work alongside my flash one...but that's just ideas atm...no point even bothering about it during my term break cos I only got 1 week off, plus I get homework to do at the same time. And the above will actually require a little bit of teaching myself how to do things ^_^

If anyone needs any help with testing or compatibility I would be glad to offer some services. I keep my NDS set current, and I have some spare time here and there, and a love for emulation. Let me know what you need...I feel compelled to give back to emulation since I've been around for like 10 years (I'm finally learning some C++ now too), anyway let me know if you need me.
