DS development > Help needed to run IDEAS emu

My first post on this board, I just hope its not in the wrong place or something else stupid.

Anyway, I've been doing some testing of the IDEAS DS emulator, and run into a few problems.

1. The touchscreen doesn't work - the readme says it does work - it works with Dualis.

2. The readme says something about loading arm9 then arm7 then the demo, well this doesn't do anything useful, I've obviously mis-understood the instruction. Can someone explain?

Thanks everyone.

Anyone?

Of all the brains here, including the emu author, no one can help.

Wonderful.

Might want to ask in the DS forum, and btw dualis is a work in progress :)

This forum is for people developing software for the GBA. Trying to solve emulator problems for a different platform are two strikes against anyone being able or willing to help you.

Moved from Beginners to DS development.

Any iDeaS on robbbert's problem?

Lino (the author) doesn't speak very good English, so his instructions aren't the best. A few developers (including myself) are working with him to improve it, and its coming along nicely. Anyway, onto your questions..

1) I also have never been able to use the touchscreen. If it did work once, it doesn't any more.

2) I'm not sure about the instructions from the readme, but I used to load just the arm9.bin and it worked OK. Nowadays I rename my *.nds file to *.pme, and loading and running that in iDeaS seems to work well - it simulates both processes so you can develop code for the bootloader, arm7 and arm9. I've been doing large amounts of this recently, and it seems pretty solid :)

Hope thats helpful for you :)
