DS development > Black screen...

#63020 - Durandle - Wed Dec 07, 2005 10:35 pm

I'm just starting out in DS Dev, so playing with some example code and templates. However, I can't get any to run... I can compile them just fine (DevKitPo) and creates the .ds and .ds.gba files, but they just cause the DS to go to a black screen and then nothing.

Using an M3 Perfect CF to load the files on and an un-modded DS.

Any help would be great, I'd like to get porting one of my SDL games to the DS but no use if I cant test it :P

Just for info, this problem was solved by adding the line
Code:
 powerON (POWER_ALL);
to the code, to fix it with the M3.

hehe thanks - beat me to it :)

I would have spent hours trying to work out what was wrong. As an additional note, this extra line of code was needed because I'm using an M3 Perfect card.
