iDeaS 1.0.0.6 Compatibility List

[diablow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DS and GBA shares the same ARM7 CPU. So, in perfect world, if you have working GBA emulator, just slap on touchscreen, X Y buttons and ARM9 emulation code and and you have a working DS emulator.
Now, back to reality, with some more games for almost complete compatibility list:
Tiger Woods PGA Tour (U) - doesn't work
Snood 2 - On Vacation (U) - doesn't work
Pac-Man World 3 (U) - intro only
Texas Hold'em Poker DS (U) - playable, graphics errors
Shrek - Super Slam (U) - doesn't work

diablow,
You've obviously been paying attention to all the NDS Emulation info. I forgot about ARM7 CPU, it's the main reason why NDS is reverse compatibile isn't it?? The ARM9 would be the main problem as to why things don't work properly, ie touchscreen and 3D. And the 3D graphics are supposed to be similar to N64 right?? So I take it they will be hard to do.

the ARM9 and ARM7 processors are quite similiar in instruction set encoding. As for differences between the GBA and NDS there are numerous. For example the ARM7 and ARM9 share common memory. They can be operated simultaneously as well. The biggest difference is the 1 meg of video memory the NDS has and it's 3d rendering. Not all games will work because not all of the ARM9 instruction set is supported as well as the synchronisation between the two processors. I'm not sure what the iDeaS authors are doing for the two instruction streams, too me it would be a bit insane. My explaination follows, shared memory (IE both processors can access it) you have to think of this in terms of process threads in a PC, in most cases cannnot be accessed simultaneously. SO the authors have 2 processors running at the same time sharing various chunks of memory between them. This can be done by 2 threads, however it requires thread synchronization just like the processors require synchrnization when accessing shared memory.

In simple terms, it's an expanded GBA that shares it's memory with another processor and extra hardware. Hence why making it work for simple programs that only use the GBA's features is easy. Making it compatible with things that use the addition hardware is not


Let's keep on the compatibility info her huh?

Low Lines,

I think tamagotchi no puchipuchi omisecchi is not correct spelling because I cannot find it anywhere. Obvious that it is the wrong name. Can you find the correct one because it is the last one I am going to test but cannot find the right spell to use. Thanks.

 

[Low Lines]

It's Tamagotch no Puchipuchi Omisecchi but it's a nuke so I'm not going to include it...Sorry

Actually, do it anyway and I'll go recheck my list,
And can someone tell me exactly what is a nuke anyway?
Is is a bad rom, or broken? I don't fully understand it.

 

[spotanjo3]

Then you should remove it from flash compability list

 

[diablow]

Final ones from me:
Yawaraka Atama Juku (J) - intro
SEGA Casino (U) - not playable, major graphic errors (I just couldn't go further than a thing that looks like name input screen)
SBK - Snowboard Kids (U) - doesn't work
Slime Morimori Dragon Quest 2 (J) - doesn't work

 

[spotanjo3]

diablow,

I already mentioned two ... please check them out before you given out those games in here, ok ? I already mentioned two before you did.

 

[diablow]

Sorry, my bad, next time I'll check twice before posting

 

[Low Lines]

actually that would be my bad, cos I must have missed Rockmangames's post or something....Sorry for that, 19 more to go!!

 

[spotanjo3]

you can edit it to remove what was already in list.

Soreike! Anpanman - Baikinman no Daisakusen (J) - Pinocchio shown on the screen then black screen

Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Dan - Kamen Genei Satsujinjiken (J) - black screen

 

[GCFreak]

Wow, we're nearly there, Keep it coming!

 

[Low Lines]

Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Dan - Kamen Genei Satsujinjiken (J) - black screen
???
Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Tan - The Masquerade Lullaby (J)

Which spelling is it????

 

[spotanjo3]

I do not know. I got it somewhere that says it. But I think both are the same..Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Tan - The Masquerade Lullaby (J) is some english in the title from someone else but accurate name is: Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Dan - Kamen Genei Satsujinjiken (J) is correct because japan do not use The Masquerade Lullaby as in english but Kamen Genei Satsujinjiken (which is The Masquerade Lullaby in english translated I think)

By the way, can you change my name RockmanRotti to Rockmangames ? Because RockmanRotti was almost 2 years ago and it was old and I never used it for a long time so this rockmangames is better and I used it for a long time now and permanent. ok ?


P.S. Chronicles of Narnia, The - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (U) - black screen

Chronicles of Narnia, The - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (E) - black screen

 

[Low Lines]

Whoops, I thought they were two separate people (or maybe someone else is now using it) No prob, easily done, it'll be in Update 6 for the file Compatideas.zip.

No, I was right there is someone named RockmanRotti, and they aren't you.
RockmanRotti Joined Feb 2004 and posted New Rainbow Islands (J) on the iDeaS 1.0.0.6 Released news thread. Anyway your new name should be in the credits as well.

 

[spotanjo3]

No, it was me. It was in my profile lol. I no longer used it before and yes thats me posted this game there, seriously. RockmanRotties was supposed to be but it happened to be RockmanRotti. My favorite game is Rockman and Rotties is my favorite dog rottweiler.

2 Games have been missed, and I did a search for them in this forum and came up empty.

Pokemon Dash (J)
Shichida Shiki Training Unou Tanren Unotan DS - Shun Kan Shoubu! Shuuchuuryoku (J)

And no, the second one is a different game to the one Rockmangames posted (the end bit is "Shuuchuuryoku" while the other one was "Handanryoku")
