ToD With DLDI Support

Posted on Saturday, 3 March 2007

Due to some request made, I have decided to throw a quick DLDI support to Tales of Dagur.
There’s a known bug that prevents game reset after the "Game over" screen. If anyone finds a fix for that, Please do not hesitate to notify me.
Thanks goes to DragonMinded for libfatdragon.

Grab the new binary and source packages on the ToD Page.

Note about ToD II: ToD II is currently in zombie state because we are missing story. We got one - yes - ONE writer and he’s doing his best. If you want to help and be a part of the ToD II development team, Please contact me or join #ToD2 in EFnet.

Roundup and a Thanks

Posted on Saturday, 20 January 2007

First of all I would like to send a (belated…) thanks to Headkaze for donating me a Black SwanCrystal and games! I promised him to continue the work on dualSwan to show my appreciation.
Some pictures:


Donated handheld and games

As I promised, and thanks to my friend strager we increased dualSwan’s speed by more then triple the original speed presented in dualSwan 1.2.1!

dualSwan 1.3 will be released as soon as we will finish adjusting emulation and fixing I/O bugs. The release will include a DSOrganize plugin corresponding to the release version and changes.



Another thing I’m working on is an isometric height map engine which will soon become a game that will use the DSerial’s accelerometer. I will not reveal any details regarding the game except for a screenshot, and you can try and guess what it will be.

Note: No support for the DSmotion card will be included as I don’t have one to test.

GTK PopStation

Posted on Sunday, 7 January 2007

After the release of Dark_Alex’s custom firmware, only wnidows GUIs were created to the popstation converter, so I decided to code my own GUI version.

Bare in mind that this is my very first GUI application. Feel free to suggest better ways to use the API.

Sue Me

Posted on Monday, 4 December 2006

So some coder made a BlueTooth ‘driver’ and a scripting language to work with the Wii-Remote.
On his application’s site he says:

NOTE! You may not use this software on military bases, or for military purposes, or in Israel (which amounts to the same thing). Violation of the license agreement will be prosecuted. See the readme for the license agreement.

In addition to this, he also adds in the program’s ReadMe:

* You may not export this software to Israel, or use it in Israel (including the occupied territories), until Israel has ended its occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and anywhere else it may occupy. If you try to run it in Israel it will give you an error.

Well guess what I did? That’s right. I (being from Israel) used this little application.
Don’t believe me?


That’s what I call, PWND.

 

Now I didn’t see any kind of this "Error" while this program is running in Israel. But if the author wants, he can sue me.

I’m waiting.

ToD Sources fixed

Posted on Thursday, 9 November 2006

Thanks to AlexFili for letting me know the sources for Tales of Dagur did not work with the latest devkitPro.
Therefor I have released a fixed version of the source.

For the interested ones, here is a list of what is fixed:

  • ARM7’s makefile is changed to produce binaries in Thumb mode to reduce the code size to fit the 64k limit.
  • The ToD engine had a bug enabling effects before switching to a level. This caused the level handler to crash when loading the first map.
  • Fixed a typo on the function itoa()

Download the fixed sources on the ToD Page.

WonderPong Released

Posted on Wednesday, 27 September 2006

I got really bored, and SausageBoy challanged me to an obscure platform pong contest - whoever finishes to code a Pong game for a weird platform - wins. We started coding and SausageBoy disappeared. I kept coding my game and finished it.

Result? Pong game for the WonderSwan / Color, with assembly source code.

First lesson on tutorial series opened to public

Posted on Sunday, 27 August 2006

As promissed to one of my friends, Chetic, I will be writing DS 2D Hardware tutorials converted from my previous attempt on the IRC channel #learn2d.

Lesson 1: Nintendo DS Hardware Overview has just been opened to the public to read. Please note that this is the first real tutorial I have ever written, so errors and/or mistakes may present.
For all of those who wonder why the lesson was password protected during the last 2 days, may now understand that I was working on it and wanted no one to critisize me while I’m working.

Please take your time to read the tutorial and if possible, send reviews on it to me, and be sure to check here more often as the tutorial series is growing.
