DraStic Nintendo DS emulator teaser video

[Exophase]

Someone do me a logo for this please.. ~400x150ish dimensions, must say "DraStic", keep it pretty sharp and relatively darker colors (going against a black background), don't make it too colorful.. I'm asking everyone I can so if I like your logo it'll end up there even if I have to rotate multiple ones.

I don't suppose you have a link to a program to dump the firmware that works from a slot 1 card?
I've managed to successfully dump the 2 bios files, but the program I found to do that didn't dump the firmware.

The only program I've come across so far that does, requires a slot 2 (GBA) flash cart which I don't have.

EDIT: never mind, I found one. I belatedly realised my search terms had specified bios instead of firmware.

Great, do you mind sharing the link? I've found some but the links weren't all good.

Also, do you mind posting md5sums of the BIOS images?

Here's a logo I worked up just now, 400x150, font is GAMECUBEN by Bleutuna.

If someone can post a link to a good program to dump bios/firmware from slot 2, I'll be happy to try it.

 

[Exophase]

Thank you! Could you make the background black?

 

[Tensuke]

Here it is in black:

And my BIOS MD5s from a DS Phat:

BIOSNDS7.ROM : DF692A80A5B1BC90728BC3DFC76CD948

BIOSNDS9.ROM : A392174EB3E572FED6447E956BDE4B25

 

[Exophase]

Cool, your BIOS md5sums match mine. Thanks again.

I believe this should dump all 3 files on either slot. (just extract the relevant version to your flash cart)

EDIT

Heh I went to www.dev-scene.com to try to find a parent page for that link, and the first thing I saw was a banner ad for the Pandora.

I did find the parent page incidentally, ( http://www.dev-scene.com/NDS/DSBFDump ) but all it contains is that same link and the link to the now defunct site that I suspect was once the project's home.

Tensuke's BIOS md5sums match mine as well (dumped from my DS Lite)

I like drawing things, so here you go

I was going to work on it some more but I lost about half my work when inkscape froze :/

 

[Exophase]

I like it. Hopefully I'll have enough time to include yours (and any others) and make them randomly cycle. If not for the first release then probably later.

 

[Askarus]

What a mess.

Only have my games with me but no DS to dump the firmware.

Have to wait until Friday.

Great to read about the release

 

[PokeParadox]

Hmmm have to figure out where my DSLite is... Will it matter if I have a flashed firmware (flashed to avoid having to use a passme)?

Dev-Scene was my baby.. I haven't realllllly touched it in three years. I've noticed some of the pages are hacked with spam and the modules I created for the news feed are broken but most of the content should still be working.

That said, Id love to see how much of the homebrew works on his emulator.

I figured the pandora banner might drive a little traffic.. before the page actually dies of a heart attack considering it's a bloated pile of fail these days. Sweet jesus, it takes like 10 seconds to load! 

edit: If DSBF does not work. please try.

The one on cryptosystem.org was the first one I tried. It only dumps the BIOS files, not the firmware.

Could you link to the bios and firmware dumpers you used?

I doubt it'll matter.

uh... I already did.

I just dumped my DSi-XL just to see what I would get and the biosnds9.rom matches the md5 but the biosnds7.rom does not.  Also, the firmware is only half the size.  I would assume that is because it does not have the gba parts.

 

[mamemaniac]

Cant wait for the first alpha release, hopefully Super Princess Peach is playable with good speed.

 

[Exophase]

Compo version is out: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/

Might start a new thread for compatibility/issues/whatever or something, I dunno. For now just post here I guess? Read the readme.

Congrats !

OK so now we got pretty much everything emulate on the Pandora.  We still need Dreamcast and PS2.  Sorry I'm a little greedy but...
