mostly dedication I guess, and me having mostly nothing to do until March :P


anyway, current status, with a few tested games:

* NSMB: as described above.
* SM64DS: freezes when starting a game, but minigames playable. 3D graphics missing, main menus are garbled.
* MKDS: boots but fails to access its save.
* Worms 2: plays an intro FMV at a crappy speed. no idea if it works past there, no 3D graphics.
* Rayman DS, Rayman RR2, Super Princess Peach: black screen.

Tested some more games:
  • Tetris DS: Playable with some missing graphics
    [thumbnail]
  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky -- Playable, missing textbox borders and HUD elements, can't save
    [thumbnail]
  • Pokémon SoulSilver -- Some of the intro works, crashes on the title screen. Same with Pokémon Platinum

There isn't really an easy way to build it right now unless you feel like installing Code::Blocks, you can try this build of this revision (I cross compiled it from Linux, hope it actually works on Windows...).

To use it, extract the tarball somewhere, then create a directory in the same directory as melonDS called roms/ and put the game you want to try in there as sm64ds.nds. Obtain the DS firmware/BIOS and put that in the same directory as melonDS.exe too.

The structure should look like:
.
├── bios7.bin
├── bios9.bin
├── firmware.bin
├── libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
├── libstdc++-6.dll
├── libwinpthread-1.dll
├── melonDS.exe
└── rom
└── sm64ds.nds

dunno if it needs that many DLLs, but that's definitely something I need to check. it requires atleast one apparently.


also, pls don't spread that build.

* no depth buffering, so it looks derpy
* no textures and shit
* clipping is still iffy, haven't yet found out why

this is a software renderer, so performance is crap when there's a lot of 3D, but it's not really been optimized yet. SIMD comes to mind, but even without that, the renderer could avoid a lot of the divisions it's doing.

I guess a proper 64-bit build would also be faster, since 20:12 fixed point multiplication requires 64-bit numbers to avoid overflows.

the possibility of a hardware renderer isn't excluded.

well to be honest, desmume isn't bad in this regard. it has defects, but it's more accurate than NO$GBA for example.

on the other hand, my renderer is close to being pixel-perfect. one of the 'big' issues is that I haven't yet managed to understand how the DS interpolates vertex colors when doing clipping. 'big' because the difference would barely be noticeable in most games.

I also still need to do tests regarding the Z-buffer. especially the W-buffering mode as I'm not sure I got it right.

and maybe implement shit like texturing :P


2D graphics wouldn't be a big problem regarding accuracy. at worst, desmume would give you slightly different color effects, because it processes 15-bit color instead of 18-bit. so does NO$GBA.


regarding performance, an idea is to put the renderer on a separate thread. this could help nicely. then again, there are likely optimizations to be done in the emulator core itself.

yep, it's getting better. textures are on the way.

since the last screenshot, it's closer to something real -- the clipping issues have been mostly fixed, Z-buffering is in, etc...

and I don't get how W-buffering works. according to a test I did, it just takes the W coordinate as-is, but doing so in SM64DS gives shitty results. oh well.

Last view: 212 days ago 		When you are working on graphics, could you add a "Free Look" feature - like in dolphin? It'd also be good if it worked with 2D graphics as well as 3D.

Last view: 2051 days ago 		Are you working on wifi and local wireless emulation? If so, that would be amazing! I read somewhere recently (possibly on NSMBHD?) about local wireless having to be frame perfect to connect properly, so I imagine that would be tough to emulate.
