Hi !

I often hear that devkitadv is not very good. Why do you think so ?

Sometimes i thought about changing to something else - to mirko's for example. But using devkitadv, i worked very long on an user-interface (menus, messages, file-requester, onscreen-keyboards etc.).

And so i managed to setup mirkos, but could not compile my file ! I don't want to throw my work away.

So either i work on with devkit or i find a possibility to use my interface in other SDKs.

If you understood me. Do you have any idea ?

Greetings

Tobias
 
Devkitadv is not that bad, but it uses an old version of gcc.

Devkitarm r8 for example, uses gcc 3.4.1, which is very recent. So it's a better ide. Bit I think you would be able to use your scripts / user-interface easily with it.

To set it up, have a look at:

(Sorry, it's in french, but it's really well done and quite fast).

Not only old, but with known bugs. And some of these bugs are very nice. They cause that the compiled code does not do what the source code says. Happy bug hunting ;) . I don't have a concrete example, but browsing the bugtracking system should reveal some.
