Might I suggest you build it with GBFS so those of us who don't use a CF-based cart can play it?

I plan to, just not yet. Too many other things need ironed out first.
Plus, I need to figure out how I'm going to set up GBFS, especially since I don't have a GBA flash cart to test with.

Did you download the data archive? It needs to go on the root
ex:
x:/data/lumiDS/base/blocks.pcx

Hm, for me no music and sounds are playing, and I do have the 0.2A binaries...
edit: or at least I clicked the link saying it would lead to them
#66673 - Lynx - Thu Jan 12, 2006 8:41 pm
You might want to change the /data to something specific, like /Limidata, as we are starting to have a lot of directories specific to games. :)
Anyway, It started fine for me, but I couldn't choose anything from the menu but the game starts when I press "START" and plays fine, with music, etc.

Well, its a really sad attempt at standardizing a "data" folder for all games.
Notice it goes:
/data/GAMENAME/THEMENAME/
I'll use it, I can't make everyone else. Just trying to reduce the number of folders on my CF root. I'd be perfectly fine with changing it if someone wants to suggest something else, but it'd be nice to have a sort of community wide standard :)

scene_menu.cpp line 93:
// TODO: Make this an actual menu

Is there a queue on the top screen? If its blank, you're still using 0.1A binaries. Otherwise, maybe its the card reader? What are you using?

Hmm...that's a good idea.
However I'd almost prefer to have the directory relative to keep the windows type system destruction from happening:
/games/LuminDS/:
LuminDS
data/
/apps/MoonShell/:
moonshell
data/
I guess the extra work then would be the path discovery to correctly change the directory context.
#66716 - FireSlash - Fri Jan 13, 2006 4:32 am
I'd use relative paths if the directory weren't reset to / when the rom was loaded :/
If someone figures out a quick way to discover the correct directory, I'll implement it. But I'm not going to write code that gropes the whole CF card trying to find the folder. Just imagine how long that would take on a 1gb+ CF card with lots of small files O.O

Well, couldn't you make a program to edit the start directory in the .nds file, or something like that, so we can at least choose our own directory?
Just an idea.

Nope, didn't notice.. Maybe if we can nudge other developers into that direction it would help.. I'll keep an eye out.. games with data directories are still pretty new.

This isn't related to "dsenimul", is it?
I guess here's some of your to-do list: - add some indication that you need to press A at the menu instead of touching
- make other menu options work
- make both rotate buttons work
- don't require two presses of the down key to move the piece from the top row to the floor
- add sound and music (there seemed to be data, but it didn't work on FW2 and PassMe1 and GBAMP CF and the game as _boot_mp.nds)
- add indication that the pieces on the top screen are the next pieces, with rightmost being immediately next
- add "destroyer" blocks
- pause when Start is pressed
- add scoring
- add progressive difficulty
- add skin cycling
tepples yanks the passme, reboots the DS into GBA mode, and starts luminesweeper.mb

It does have a queue... I am using a GBAMP CF.
edit: And using Moonshell.

Anyone know where to DL this? The original link isn't work anymore.
#99675 - Sektor - Wed Aug 23, 2006 5:53 am
tehskeen.com seems to be the only site that mirrored the .nds and the data files.
edit:
dcemu.co.uk has mirrored the data files now. They had the .nds before but forgot the data.

Here's a mirror so you don't have to go to a warez site to get it:
http://davr.org/ds2/LumiDS_0.2A.zip
http://davr.org/ds2/LumiDS_data_0.2A.zip
and a screenshot I made a while back:

Also, I built this version which MAY work on non-fatlib supported cards. But it is currently untested: (please post if the above doesn't work, but this special version does, along with your flashcart model)
http://davr.org/ds2/lumidsFCSRtest.zip
EDIT: FCSR version worked on my plain neoflash gba flashcart. yay.

How did you get the source? Not that I want it, I just didn't know fireslash made it available.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I didn't actually compile the source, I just built a FAT image from the data files and appended it to the .ds.gba.
