To make it work on M3 and G6 it needs powerON(POWER_ALL_2D | POWER_SWAP_LCDS);

Which appears to add 100kb to the size of the resulting binaries, and also still requires me to use lcdSwap(). What is wrong with them? Can't the manufacturers fix it in firmware?

Code:

static inline void powerON(int on) { POWER_CR = on;}


I fail to see how that can add 100k to your binary

if that line requires lcdSwap() then remove POWER_SWAP_LCDS ( be aware that the emulators appear to default to the opposite of the DS for screen swapping but specific settings work fine)

You are right, I had recompiled without -Os the second time.

This is what I get on my supercard:

1) Looks correct.
powerON(POWER_ALL_2D|POWER_SWAP_LCDS);
lcdSwap();

2) Keyboard on top screen (no swap?).
powerON(POWER_ALL_2D|POWER_SWAP_LCDS);

3) Keyboard on top screen (double swap?).
powerON(POWER_ALL_2D);
lcdSwap();

... So, I went with 1). But if you could clear up what I am not understanding about what this is supposed to mean, I would appreciate it.

Recompiled binaries uploaded, compiled as mentioned in the last post above. Works for me on the Supercard still.

This is a double swap.

powerON(POWER_ALL_2D);

should do the same thing.

This one swaps once

Quote:

3) Keyboard on top screen (double swap?).
powerON(POWER_ALL_2D);
lcdSwap();


as does this and should be the same as 2)

Well, I think the reason I am confused is that I get a different result with POWER_SWAP_LCDS not set in any way, than I do with just powerON(POWER_ALL_2D). Does Supercard give me a initial setting of "already swapped"? And powerON just initialises it back to not swapped?

Well, in any case, the double swap should be fine for M3 and G6, so I will leave it as is until I get interested in working on this again.

The M3 is weird, keyboard is on bottom screen, as it should be but there is no text output on top screen and the shark fin pattern is not displayed correctly.

It still makes the button click sounds and is probably still functioning but the top screen is just not displaying what it should be. txtWriter 0.3 has a similiar problem, I have no idea how to fix it.

Hi,

A usable version of Python 2.4.2 for the Nintendo DS can be obtained from here. Along with the source code. It hooks in chishm's FAT code so that the CF card can be accessed from the Python programming language.

http://www.disinterest.org/NDS/Python24.html

e.g.

print ndsos.listdir("/")
print ndsos.stat("cf0:/python")
f = open("cf0:/python/lib/helloworld.py", "w")
f.write("def f(): return 'hello world'\n")
f.close()
import helloworld
print helloworld.f()


Fantastic!
Finally I can dabble with a bit of code myself. (yes, foolishly I can use just about any language *except* C :p)

Have you tried downloading and compiling the source yourself? Maybe finding a demo with source that does work on your M3 and trying bits and pieces of its initialisation code in the NDSPython initialisation code might work out what I have to add.

#66447 - dovoto - Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:01 pm

I recomend:

powerON(POWER_ALL_2D);
lcdMainOnTop();


or lcdMainOnBottom();

a bit less Ambiguous

Maybe I will remove the POWER_SWAP_LCDS define and replace with POWER_LCD_MAIN_ON_TOP and POWER_LCD_MAIN_ON_BOTTOM

...thats a lot of typing though :)

Modern IDE's all have code completion so I guess it's not a big deal.
I think it's better to choose a descriptive name even when it's kinda long.
