Help Wanted > Testing on the real thing

#30842 - XyzZyx - Sun Dec 05, 2004 1:36 pm

I wrote a little program, but want to test it on a real GBA before I publish it on gbadev. I don't own a flasher/linker device, though, so I'm asking you to run it in an emulator and on the real thing and see if they differ. Thanks.

Controls are: Up and down buttons for controlling the number of rockets.

No sound was playing on the real hardware. Seemed to slow down when you add loads of fireworks, but I suppose that's expected!

Nice job!

Thanks! :-D

I think this was wrong: I set SOUNDCNT_L and -H before SOUNDCNT_X, and the gbatek says that no other sound registers can be written to before sound has been enabled in SOUNDCNT_X.

I don't know if that's all, though..


PS: If you run it several times, do the rocket pattern repeat, or are they sent at random?
