DS development > How to update old homebrew to support newer Libs, like DLDI?

#132014 - daxtsu - Fri Jun 22, 2007 12:10 pm

I saw the Ti-85 emulator for DS, DS85, only to find out there's no DLDI support for it; it uses the older libfat. Is there anyway to update the source or somehow recompile it to work with DLDI? Thanks.

"the old libfat" meaning pre-2007 libfat, or meaning gba_nds_fat? If the latter, have you tried making a new devkitARM libnds project and just dropping the source files in?

Y'can either find the source and rebuild yourself, or contact the developer for the source or to ask him to rebuild.

Oh wait, to rebuild I would do the following:
1) Create a new project from the DevKitARM r20 templates.
2) Copy the ARM7 source files from the TI-85 project to your newly created project's ARM7 directory.
3) Same goes for the ARM9 source files (-> ARM9 directory).
4) Try to build the binaries.
5) If you get a build error, fix it and go to 4).
6) ...
7) Go bankrupt!

The source on this project is a mess. I don't think I've got the skill to be able to port it up to the new DLDI standard[s]. Want the link to the source, in case anyone wants to take a crack at it?

Won't know unless you try ;)

He's actually right, I've seen the source, it's a complete mess.

I warned you when I sent it to you, didn't I? :P
