DS development > That TI85 emulator

#73515 - fischju - Sun Feb 26, 2006 5:55 am

ok, Im new and im starting to get mad.
ive seen this http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?p=37738 its really old so....
I've searched for about an hour now and this is what i can gather:

The TI85 emulator only works on flashcards because its ds.gba.
Current ds.gba to .nds tools wont work because it wasnt compiled with ndstool

I have the originial files from davr, a ds.gba that i made, ndstool, what seems to be an arm9 bin that i found with some other files (presumably for the emulator), and the dumped rom

I want to know if there is anyway i can compile the file so it can be converted to .nds or if i can compile it directly to .nds

Believe me, i've looked

Are you wanting to run it on an emulator? If not, what type of flash cart do you have?

Edit: Sorry, I don't know anything about the GBAMP. I only have a Supercard SD.

can't be converted to .nds without rewriting the way the code works. it looks for the TI ROM in GBAROM space. You'd have to change the ROM loading code.

It should prove easy enough for the author to modify the emulator to use GBFS insertion instead of appending. The technique involves generating a big blank GBFS file, bin2s'ing it into the .nds file, and then overwriting the big blank GBFS file with a GBFS file containing the ROM on the user's side.
