Oh yeah, creating a blog system for developers, a homebrew database, and a wiki is forbidden right!? Then go talk to PIRATemp, NDS Zone, and a million other DS and other dev sites around the world. And I didn't steal your nitro hax story as Chishm posted that here and that is where I got it from as noted in the source on the news post. If you look at every news story on www.moddz.com you'll find that we are one of the only sites that quotes every source for every news story!

Let's not turn this into a flamefest.
Dragonminded, good idea to post updates here. I am in fact one of the lazy people that only read this board, so I wouldn't happen to see what's going on, on individual developers blogs. Great new policy change to keep us (me) informed :)
#122156 - TheAvenger - Sat Mar 17, 2007 1:59 pm
Great! It's always nice to get a new update of DSOrganise, you could make it easier to record sounds, though.
#122172 - alfatreze - Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:52 pm
Thanks for the new version, I'm off running to test the new text improvements!
Color support seems cool, will give it a spin, thanks for allowing us to increasingly customize the look and feel of DSO.
Would it be possible in the future to have a screenshot feature to show and share color profiles?
As always a big thumbs up for a new release, you always put a big smile in my face whenever I see a new version out :D.
#122176 - TheYak - Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:45 pm
Still causes FAT problems regardless of 16/32 or cluster size for me. It's minor, just invalid entries that get deleted (like for deleted or temp files from renaming) I get around that using the very handy MCTool so I don't have to be at a PC. Now if only I could launch it from DSO.
#122201 - HyperHacker - Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:59 pm
Nice work as always. Found a bug though; after rearranging my Home screen in the configuration menu, the Calendar icon is replaced with the Calculator icon (but still opens the Calendar). It only did this after rearranging them, but it remains after powering off. I'm using the default icon set and a GBAMP.
NSF support is nice, not quite as accurate as Moonshell's though. It's very loud too. Any chance we'll see the ability to have the volume less than 100%? I have to keep Moonshell's at 50% and turn the hardware volume control almost all the way down with my headphones to be comfortable, they're very loud... x_x
SPC support works beautifully. Does it just loop forever though? The progress bar isn't doing anything. It sounds pretty nasty with F-Zero's Mute City, I think the left and right channels are out of sync. This was after playing an NSF and another SPC, if that helps. Super Mario Kart's Vanilla Lake is also way off, and Super Mario RPG's 'Shroom Kindgom has a bit of an echo to it that I don't recognize.
Actually now I'm hearing the same desync problem with NSF (Star Soldier), and the dpad doesn't always respond while playing one. MP3 is still working fine though. The Super Mario Bros NSF sounds almost exactly like the real thing, maybe it's Moonshell that's inaccurate... I'd have to dig out some NES games and compare, no time to do that now.

i don't know why but everytime i try and use the dldi for mmd i get 156GB of memory in my dock and i can't delete them
and it won't work on MMD still
#122351 - alfatreze - Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:16 pm
Small question, when I try to edit the hex code for the colours, I can't seem to get them right, the only way I have to check them is by using photoshop, but it gives me a 6digit code, while DSO uses 4digit, I assume tha its for 15or16bit color depth, but what program can I use to make the color and have the 4digit hex code? Thnx in advance :)

A calculator capable of converting between binary and hex. I'm not sure whether it's 15- or 16-bit, but the format would be xrrrrrgg gggbbbbb in binary; convert that to hex and away you go. x should be 1 on the DS, it may not matter in DSO, but I'd do it to be safe.
Razeruk, you'll have to format the card. DSO used to do this with my GBAMP, but stopped a few versions ago. It could also be the DLDI having a bug in it.

Values are indeed in 555 color. The high (alpha) bit doesn't need to be set, as DSOrganize sets it automatically to ensure no problems with screen display. If you are using photoshop or other programs, chopping off the lower three bits gets you the right color for DSOrganize.

i did format, and lucky for me i backed up the stuff in there
anyway should i tryout 2.6 cause i don't know what's wrong with the dldi because it works with nitro hax

What SPC library are you using? I see too the buttons are a bit unresponsive while playing them.

Now that it has SPC playback, DSOrganize could potentially replace Moonshell for me. Though I'm one of the unfortunate few running homebrew on a MMD, so I can't even get it to run without resetting the clock to 0:00 (or renaming to bootme.nds, but that's a bit less convenient). If only homebrew booting in DSOrganize worked with the MMD, then I could just have it run at boot and use the browser to run anything else. Regardless, this is some nice homebrew, even if I do need to use an annoying workaround to get it to start. Excellent work here.

It looks like someone needs to port GBAMP DevLauncher to the MAX Media Dock.

I'm intending to try a special exec_stub.bin for MMD soon, like I did with success for M3Simply and R4. The problem is I need people in my IRC room to test for me as I don't have a MMD.
EDIT: I've posted a video of an upcoming feature to DSOrganize. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAcfI_-kduM

Some how i like more DSOrganize than Moonshell but DSO don't have custom character from my language (in polish language we use some special characters like "s" or "o" with coma above) and it's impossible to read ebook on DSO because they not show (just blank spaces). Here (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spos%C3%B3b_kodowania_polskich_znak%C3%B3w) are character encodings in asci, utf-8 and so forth for this characters. I hope this help to bring this characters to DSO in future. Anyway good work DragonMinded.
#122866 - DragonMinded - Fri Mar 23, 2007 2:17 am
I've decided to put an alpha out for you guys to play around with, at least to hold you over until I implement more features.

w00t! Who would have thought after all these months of "Okiwi vs. Gnirfleo" that DSOrganize would come in and release the first actually functional demo?
Shame we can't click on links, or at least see the URLs of them to type them in ourselves, but for an alpha release it's certainly more than enough. Congratulations on the accomplishment, and good luck with future enhancements.
EDIT: wait, your blog said links were clickable... *immediately runs back to test* wow, can't believe I missed that. That makes it even more awesome.

Say what? You can click on links fine.
I mean, mostly fine. For some reason clicking on a link to DS Misc on this site lead me to a topic in DS Flash Equipment, but that might have been a touch screen issue. Some feedback when you click on a link (like a dotted line around the link you just clicked) would be nice, so you can tell if clicking it worked.

The threat of NAND flash wear is overblown. The microcontrollers in modern CF and SD memory cards perform hardware wear leveling. When a sector begins to show wear (detected, perhaps, using ECC statistics) after 100,000 to a million writes, it is remapped to another spare sector. There are enough spare sectors to last until flash memory density has improved by an order of magnitude. This is why my next project, which is finally not another Tetris clone, will autosave what the player does to a log file every couple minutes.

Awesome, now I can see what's up with that AP at work that's no longer letting me connect to the Internet. It froze loading badgerx3.com though. I know it's not going to support Flash anytime soon, but I always load that first on a new browser. It's tradition. :-p
Immediately I see 2 minor bugs:
-Why does the B icon say "Toggle Hidden"? Wouldn't "Toggle Keyboard" make more sense?
-Going to www.qdb.us and clicking Random, the URL bar says "http://www.qdb.us//random" - there should only be one slash before random.
QDB isn't much fun though with the inability to click the radio buttons. Ah well, there's Bash too. :-)

Not that you can use secure pages anyway, but the http:// insertion seems too aggressive, being added even after backspacing it out to accommodate a https://.
Otherwise, working great on my M3miniSD.

Just in case anyone else didn't realize this: DSO works on GBAMP without being DLDI-patched, but takes a while to start up. If you use the GBAMP patch, it starts up almost instantly.

Anyway, nice work DragonMinded! One bit of criticism: Clicking links could really do with some kind of feedback. Right now I can't tell whether I have clicked one or not so it feels a bit clunky.

Hey it's pretty cool. But when I click links, it almost always ends up at the servers 404 Error page. there's two http:// at the beginning... you should fix it.
And I never know if I clicked a link or if it didn't process.
#123150 - Darkflame - Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:42 pm
First "easy to use" browser then.
---
Anyway, I had a go with it and it works fantastic :)
Supprisingly fast.
I too get the " http://" address when clicking on links occasionaly.
I think it might be because im clicking too often though.
Maybe, when in fullscreen, some indictator of loading/status might be an idea?
Either way, this rocks :)

Found 3 bugs trying to browse GBADev:
1) Bad ampersand handling. Clicking the "Nintendo DS" category link takes me to "...?c=8&sid=...".
2) Bad link handling. Possibly due to image links. When I click a link, the previous one is activated; e.g. I need to click the 1st moderator's name to enter a forum. In Wikipedia it's worse, some links don't work at all and some are off by a few (clicking one activates a completely different one).
3) It froze loading the DS Development forum.

I haven't had a chance to address most of the bugs posted here, but I think I may have solved the major corruption issue with gba_nds_fat. Also, I added quick search (eg. "g DSOrganize" will search google for DSOrganize) to hold you guys over until I can add proper forms. Enjoy!

Found a bug, but this is with the first alpha 2.7, so maybe you already fixed it. If I try to open /MOONSHL/SKIN/FBARCUR.BMP or FBARPLAY.BMP, it freezes; the animation keeps going, but it won't respond to anything, even the lid. This could be because they're 32-bit. I'll check with the latest alpha and see if it still happens.
[edit] Still happens with alpha 3.

Pardon the double post, but I found another bug and had a simple idea for the browser.
I went to the DSO home page to look up the file format for shortcuts, and when I clicked FAQ, it redirected to "/?loc=ndsdev/DSOrganize FAQ", not escaping the space. This caused the server to complain about invalid characters in the query string or some such (even though it works fine in Firefox). After that, I Googled "dsorganize" to try to find a link to the FAQ page there. When I clicked "More results from www.dragonminded.com" it actually took me to "www.dragonminded.com/search?hl=" and so on. After that I closed and re-opened the browser and it was simply at "blank" instead of "about:blank".
I noticed it doesn't always connect (a problem with most wifi homebrew in my experience), especially if you close and re-open the browser. I found a simple solution: Do a connection test in an NWFC game. When it says "Connection successful", power off and start whatever homebrew you're trying to use, and it should work. Seems the wifi lib may not be initializing or de-initializing everything correctly.
I tried to download the DSDoom shareware WAD, but it just stopped at 20%. It wasn't frozen (I was able to cancel), it just didn't download any more.
Finally, I noticed the searchpref.txt file. With some minor changes, this could be used as a form of favourites list:
1) Allow the first string to be more than a single letter, ending at a space.
2) Allow empty input (e.g. go to Google even if I just enter "g").
Then for example you could define "dsdev" as "forum.gbadev.org" and simply type "dsdev" in the address bar to get there. You could also change how the input is added: instead of tacking it on to the end, maybe replace any dollar signs in the URL with it.

Because gba_nds_fat still has lingering bugs with file creation and deletion that result in data loss.

Sure is, if you look at the plugin template readme.txt you can probably see how, also the header files included in the plugin template are a big help.

i tried to use the plugin creator, and it well told me that the make command does not exist and now i have absolutely no clue how to use it. btw, what kind of plugins can be used, and what really can be done?

What is the content of your PATH environment variable? Go to a command prompt, type
set path
and then copy the text here. (To copy text from a command prompt window, do Alt+Space E K, drag a box around the text with the mouse, and press Enter. Then switch to Notepad or the web browser and choose Paste.)

Have you installed MSYS? If you have installed MSYS, you should have a folder with several executables: sh.exe, make.exe, cp.exe. If you have installed MSYS through devkitPro Updater, these files will be in the folder "C:\devkitpro\msys\1.0\bin". Wherever you installed MSYS, this folder needs to go into your PATH.
You can make a batch file that changes your PATH only for one command prompt session, or you can edit your PATH for all programs inside My Computer > context menu > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.

SO to what extent can the plugins be used? like what can be done? is it possible to add like .avi compatablilty, or would that not work because it needs something to play it?

ok i tried that, and it still gives me the message. i must have done something wrong
edit:
How do i make the plugin from another plugin? do i need to edit the makefile in VC++?
edit 2:
C:\Documents and Settings\Sold\Desktop\Downloads\Default(2)>make
Makefile:5: *** "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment. export DEVKITARM=<pat
h to>devkitARM. Stop.
C:\Documents and Settings\Sold\Desktop\Downloads\Default(2)>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
is what it really tells me when i type build. DO i need to install devkitarm?

If you want something to run in real-time on a DS, it has to be capable of running in real-time on a DS.
Quote: |

Like .mov and .mka, .avi is just a container format; it can hold any video codec and any audio codec. Which codecs do you want, and how many seconds are you willing to wait for each frame to be decoded? The codecs used with the .dpg container have the advantages that they are mostly patent-free (MPEG-1 video and MP2 audio are old, and Vorbis audio is designed around all known patents) and they are comparatively low-complexity compared to "modern" codecs.

I'm playing about with the plugin system at the moment, excuse my noobness, but how do I retrieve the real time clock?
I was trying to display the seconds, for instance, with;
Code: |
sprintf(Scd, "%d", IPC->time.rtc.seconds);
libfb_dispString(SCREEN1, 5, 65, Scd);
|
But it just comes out as zero.
Compiles fine with no errors.

So I think my 1GB Compact Flash was corrupted when I was messing around with one of the alpha versions of DSO v2.71. Don't remember which alpha version. I'm not sure if it is the cause of the corruption, but my card reader won't even recognize that there's a CF card in it. There's no way of fixing it, is there?

Put it in a camera, etc. that reads compact flash and format it there. Unless this is a really old badly used card, a format on a different device should fix it. You really need to use the latest version of dso as it doesnt do that as much. Good Luck.
Btw the reason it was corrupted was because it is still an alpha with the browser and the cache if i am right causes the card to corrupt.

Yeah, my filesystem keeps becoming corrupted in the same way, and when Windows' error checking finds missing files, many of them are cache files. So I highly suspect it's DSO's browser causing this.

I haven't had filesystem corruption on my GBAMP since I started testing with Alpha 3. Sure, there is still the bug that accidentally creates lfn entries when the file is only 8.3 still, and there is the bug that occasionally corrupts a file itself if you write to it, but I haven't gotten one bad fat entry or needed to format once since updating to Alpha 3. I think some of the corruption stems from bad card drivers like m3sd suffered from back in the day.

#126307 - HyperHacker - Sun Apr 22, 2007 2:31 am
I'm using alpha 3 and GBAMP. I notice the corruption occurrs in the same way every time:
-/TXT/ideas.txt, when modified by any program (but only after using the DS for a while, which probably means only after using DSO's browser), will not actually be modified; a new file /TXT/ideas~01.txt will be created with the new contents. Moonshell can't open either of them saying the extension '. ' is not supported.
-If I rename any file in /linux in DSO, usually it and a few others in that directory disappear. If not, editing the file will cause this.
Once this starts happening I do a disk check in Windows and it finds 4 to 16 files, most of which are browser cache files, the missing Linux files, or filled entirely with 0xE5.
[edit] I noticed something else. While using the browser occasionally I get "incomplete download" errors, but if I use it for ~10 minutes at a time, I get this every time I load a page or even use the Back button to go back to a page that loaded successfully. The filesystem drivers go into a failstate. If I exit the browser and open the file browser, every file is listed as zero bytes. Shortcuts on the home screen don't work (as if the file isn't a valid shortcut), the todo list and reminder don't display on the top screen, etc. The files are still intact though, and if I reboot my NDS they show up alright. Presumably the "incomplete download" errors occurr because it's reporting that the downloaded page is zero bytes when it should be more.
This is using the GBAMP CF patch BTW. It works without (haven't seen any corruption) but takes a long time to boot up.

I noticed this as well. Scandisk finds both cache files (HTML code) and files filled with ? (0xE5). Fortunately, I have not experienced any other file corruption since upgrading from 2.61 to 2.7a3. I have used DSO for renaming, deleting, and copy/pasting save files only.

Same here. Additionally, when the browser goes into the "incomplete" state, if I hit Home, then start the web browser again, I get a black keyboard.

Awesome! I'm posting this from my ds right now! I love how the forms work, much better than the Wii opera browser :p
So far it works great, although it froze the first time I clicked the page 6 link for this thread... And it would be nice if clicking on a form while it already has focus would bring up the keyboard.
Great work, and this is definately the best browser yet!
(my Ns keep typing as Bs, is this my ds or is it DSO?)
#126924 - HyperHacker - Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:59 am
K, this is awesome. I only see one minor issue so far: When you touch a text field and the keyboard is hidden, it should pop back up. It can be confusing otherwise. "OK, I clicked the box and nothing's happening..." Then when you enter something, and hit Enter, it submits the form instead of just hiding the keyboard; you have to hide it again and poke the next box (e.g. for login pages). Heh, it even masks the password, nice.
I can't seem to log in to acmlm.no-ip.org/board; it only takes me back to an incomplete log in page (ending at "Register | Login"). This place was never known for having valid/decent code, so I'm not surprised. Being able to view source would help debug in these cases.
PHPBBs look much better now, probably because of adding line breaks after <tr> elements. It still has some issues (links' alt text is the same as their text, so the text is duplicated) but those are PHPBB's fault. :-p

The DS screen does generate coordinate values that aren't entirely accurate, especially at that split second where the stylus is barely touching the surface. Most touch code isn't perfect at dealing with these noisy values. Poke harder.

So I'm guessing nintendo had a way to deal with this, as most commercial games don't have this issue?

Yes it does. The touch resistance is inversely proportional to the touch area, which varies with touch pressure.

Yes. Nintendo has the exact spec for the timing that the touch screen expects. I seem to remember some effort in reverse engineering some DS Download Station demo's touch code in the R18-R19 days. And based on the changes to the ARM7 code of the combined template between DKA r18 and DKA r20, it looks like the timing might be done with vcount, which provides a roughly 63.5 microsecond timing granuarity.
When was the touch code in DSO's ARM7 binary last updated?

This is awesome. Posting from DSO 2.7 now. I did manage to crash the browser once after using it for a long time (it froze while trying to load a link - wouldn't respond to any input and had to reboot). Haven't been able to reproduce it.
This browser rocks now. I totally don't need images to enjoy it. though it could use a 'tab' key to cycle between form fields and maybe links (X and Y?)
Keep up the good work Dragon!

Hm, I didn't know that the DS knew the touch area either. Why isn't this used in games? Because its not too precise? I guess if you touched two places at once it would think you are pressing *really* hard?

I can guess three reasons: - The translation from pressure to area depends on what kind of pen you are using: DS stylus, DS thumb strap, DS Lite stylus, finger, etc.
- The translation from area to resistance depends on which lot the touch screen came from. Such data is not recorded in the DS firmware, unlike the translation from raw touch values to screen-space values.
- Pressure sensitive games may encourage (especially younger) players to press too hard on the touch screen, which could cause premature failure and extra warranty replacement costs for Nintendo.

That or you're using a fingernail, which deforms more than a stylus does and thus covers a larger area.

Has anyone else had trouble with ShoutCast streams in 2.7 final?
- With 2.7b3 and its resource bin, it plays how it should, and the bitrate can be up to 160kbps before I'll start running into buffering problems
- No matter -what- the bitrate, with 2.7 final here, the same exact stream plays a -little- too quickly, and the buffer drops to 0% rapidly (in like 10 seconds) and then has to reconnect
(...this is a stream being served by my computer like 2ft away btw. :/)
#127308 - DragonMinded - Tue May 01, 2007 4:24 pm

I got a file system corruption while using the web browser in 2.7-final last night. From reading earlier comments, I think this is a different sort of corruption than people were experiencing with the alpha versions. Basically what I got was this:
[Images not permitted - Click here to view it]
It looks like an HTML file was written to the ToC or something like that. Even the cart's volume label showed the same thing. Luckily, running Scandisk more or less solved the problem, I hust had to figure out what the proper names for files and folders in the root were supposed to be after Scandisk identified them and gave them placeholder names, and that was easy for the most part since files inside the folders were named correctly. I removed everything from the cart, formatted it and then put stuff back, though, just to be safe.
I had actually just logged on to these forums and was about to post in this topic when the problem happened (the HTML file that was written to the ToC seems to be the index page for the GBAdev forums if you look at some of the file names in that pic), but the forum didn't come up, instead I got a message saying that the download was not complete and that refreshing would probably fix it. I had gotten that message a couple times before, possibly because I was on a public wireless network shared with a couple dozen other users. Hitting 'A' seems to have the effect of refreshing, or at least it did the previous times, but this time, I just kept getting the same message 6 or 7 times, so I assumed that I had been disconnected or something like that. I exited back out to the DSOrganize menu and re-launched the web browser, but the keyboard in the web browser didn't come up properly, there was just a big black box where it was supposed to be, though everything else on the screen looked correct. Touching the stylus inside that black box would actually type letters into the URL bar, though I didn't actually try going to any webpages this way since it would have been pretty hard to type any addresses correctly. Instead, I exited back out to the DSOrganize menu without doing anything at all in the browser (it did seem to associate with the wireless network, though). DSOrganize then froze at its manin menu and I had to reset my system. When I reset it, I noticed the file system corruption. Like I said running Scandisk on the drive solved the corruption perfectly.
I'm using a G6 Lite with the v0.19 DLDI driver. The G6 DLDI driver is reverse engineered since the G6 people naever gave out full source. Iv'e had problems with the G6 DLDI in the past, though, things have been perfect since v0.19, but it's still possible that this problem is at least partially the fault of the DLDI driver, I don't know.
Anyway, what I was coming here to say in this topic when all this happened is that the DSOrganize browser is really very good. Better than I would have expected so quickly. One option that would be nice to have would be some way to view individual images. Not rendering all the images on the page since I know that will be difficult, but if we could somehow click on an image placeholder in the browser and have that image come up in DSOrganize's regular image viewer, it would be nice. Of course, that would only be worth doing if full image support within the browser is going to be a long time coming.
Also, is there any way to keep a music track from pausing when you close the DS?
...word is bondage...
#127348 - alfatreze - Tue May 01, 2007 9:41 pm
Why not change the behaviour for loading the colors.ini to load it only when choosing an icon set, this way the appearance customization is completely integrated.
It could also work with another option for loading the color.ini, but it would only add unneeded complexity.

I am getting a pretty fatal error with DS Organize BROWSER (not the web browser).
I was playing music on my M3 Lite Pro with DS Organize 2.7 BETA and I tried to change the song order from "Single File" to "Sequence". My music froze up (started to studder) and I got back to the browser menu but then it froze. Tried it again and said it was missing "RESOURCES" folder... I put it (the MicroSD card) into my computer and I went to the DS Organize directory... it was empty! Nothing left in it... no files or anything.
I had to delete DSOrganize (folder) and replace it.
#127400 - Dood77 - Wed May 02, 2007 6:47 am

#128047 - JLsoft - Tue May 08, 2007 2:05 am
Ran into my first filesystem problem with 2.7...was just editing a .cfg text file, hit Save, noticed the filename was gone when I browsed back into the dir...along with the DSOrganize dir.
No wacky characters/invalid filenames like 2.6 would sometimes do...the file+dir just vanished. A chkdsk recovered the clusters and I verified that the files it semi-rescued were the .cfg and the DSO dir :)
Sticking with using 2.7a3 for file operations and shoutcast stuff for now :/
[EDIT: Okay, tried 2.7 FINAL that was updated on May 7th...now the ShoutCast streaming doesn't play at all...it connects, the buffer fills, it says 'Streaming', and reconnects a couple seconds later :/ Anyone want to play around with using http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/ssshout.htm as a server and seeing if they can get 2.7 Final working? It works fine with Alpha 3 without any changes in configuration/etc]

When you close the DS, the music goes out the headphones jack, saving alot of power. I think there should be a version that you can change that.

I just want to stress that any filesystem corruption/problems I've seen have been random, and not caused by something that I can replicate consistently...that's what makes it that much more annoying :) So it's not that 'editing a text file' is a problem it's just that it happened one time while doing that. :P
#128151 - HyperHacker - Wed May 09, 2007 12:54 am
I suspect all, or at least most of the filesystem bugs are symptoms of the same problem:
-change the song order from "Single File" to "Sequence" - doesn't it remember your selection? This would require writing to a config file.
-playing 320kbps song - this is an interesting one, could be decompressing to disk?
-change the play order in an empty m3u playlist - again, remembering selection. May not necessarily happen only to empty playlists, or consistently.
-editing a .cfg text file, hit Save - obvious
DSO still uses GBA_NDS_FAT for whatever reason right? That had quite a few bugs.

DSO originally used GBA_NDS_FAT for directory listing right? Doesn't libfat support this yet? DSO is probably the worst program I've used when it comes to filesystem errors... Unfortunate, because its a great program.
(and I'm still confused about how we DLDI patch it but it uses GBA_NDS_FAT... anyone care to explain?)

Is there any way to disable the dldi auto patching, it's wreaking havoc on the older homebrew I use, and the homebrew that doesn't require fat access.
#128510 - DragonMinded - Sat May 12, 2007 3:49 am
Could you post more details about this? Autopatching shouldn't do anything to roms that don't have a dldi section.

On R4, it mostly works, except I lost a text file that I had been working on yesterday, only to have it show up in FOUND.000 after a chkdsk. I guess DragonMinded's customized gba_nds_fat is still not perfect.

It still has bugs. I squashed the major one that was killing cards all over, but I have yet to fix the minor ones like that. Right now I'm concentrating on trying to find what kills the arm7 side of the sound streaming implementation I've written.

I tried DSOrganize on my DS Lite with DSLink and FlashMe 7, but the upper third of the touchscreen is constantly flickering, icons and text are completely disapearing for short times. Any other Applicaition I tested worked fine.
I tried v2.7 with any DLDI Patch for DSLink I could find, and also a 2.3 version for DSLink I found. The failure happens everytime.
Is there any solution?

I had had this trouble several times, but unfortunately with hundreds of files at the same time.
It is not only a problem of DSO and DragonMinded it also happened with DSFTP - means with Chishm's libfat.
:-(
#130432 - tepples - Sun Jun 03, 2007 11:31 am
No, with Chishm's older gba_nds_fat, which DragonMinded forked to add more device support.
Chishm has developed two different file system implementations for the GBA and DS: gba_nds_fat and libfat. The former was standard around the time DSOrganize was developed. Chishm abandoned it in favor of libfat, not fixing bugs in the legacy code, but libfat needed enhancements to devkitARM itself that took longer than anyone expected, so people continued to use gba_nds_fat until devkitARM R20 came out, and DSOrganize hasn't been refactored to use the new code.

Yes, because DSFTP runs with Chishm's libfat. Or?
#130440 - tepples - Sun Jun 03, 2007 1:06 pm
I've been told that file system corruption happens less often with libfat than with gba_nds_fat. It still happens in corner cases, such as when eepinator tries to back up a 512 KiB Pok?mon save to a completely full card, but libfat is closer to correct.

It's annoying how programming things like this isn't really an exact science, correct? I have no idea where to start programming a FAT driver, so I guess it seems incredibly difficult to be able to track a corruption bug, especially since theres not really any way to see from the corrupted file why or in what way it was corrupted...
...hm, I don't know that what I was trying to say really came through here but whatever...
I guess maybe what I'm getting at is are these corruption bugs fixable? Or do we not have the slightest idea why or where they happen?

If you can make the shortest DS program that calls libfat and properly closes all files that it opens, such that you can consistently reproduce the following sequence of events, then chishm wants to know about it: - Run chkdsk /f H: in Windows, and get a clean response.
- Eject the memory card.
- Run the program on the DS.
- Run chkdsk /f H: in Windows, and get a dirty response.

I have a test NDS file that uses this exact method. This is how I tracked the major corruption bug that has been fixed. The reason I've been slow to find the rest is that they don't ruin whole cards like that one did. Since fixing that, I haven't had to reformat once, and not one time has a directory been corrupted. Sure, once in a while, a file gets created wrong and you lose that particular download/text file, but that's way more bearable than if the entire directory craps out.

Every time I delete a file in DSOrganize, I get a directory error that chkdsk fixes (something about "removed invalid long file name entry" in the directory where the file was deleted).

#130490 - DragonMinded - Mon Jun 04, 2007 1:55 am
This is because in gba_nds_fat, when you delete a file, it doesn't delete the LFN entry as well. I was meaning to edit that in, but haven't got around to it yet.

Yes, the most times my file system was corrupted after I deleted a file with either DSFTP (gba_nds_fat) or DSOrganize (gba_nds_fat).
For example:
After deleting an 'interrupted' file DSFTP wrote the new file correct, but some other files with strange 'Japanese' names appears in that folder, too. Chkdsk shows these are kind of renamed files from all over the disk...
---------
Edit: DSFTP uses 'gba_nds_fat', too.

Is there any difference in using FAT16 vs FAT32? I've noticed far fewer corruption issues - only found 1 - since using DSO 2.7 Beta weeks ago (still haven't upgraded to final) so I'm pretty happy with that. I'm using 1 GB formatted as FAT16.
But then I usually use the GUI scandisk vs chkdsk, so maybe I'm just not seeing a detailed enough error report to notice the long filename thing.

Might it be a save way to (indirectly) delete a file ???

I have never had a problem with DSO2.7's file deletion or DSFTP.
(GBAMP+4GBcompactflash)
I did have a problem with corruption on an early CF card, but that was due to faulty reader. (something that didnt occur to me, but I advice people to be warned; Dont automaticaly trust card readers, sometimes they can seem to work but corrupt data)

Yeah, a lot of the problems I was having with an older version of DSO were actually caused by faulty cards. However, I still tend to get entire directories, or at least a few other files, disappearing when I rename or (moreso) delete a file every now and then.

Hello DM.
I'm trying to compile the DSOrganize (I succesfull compiled libfb, libdt), and I'm currently compiling the libfatdragon.
Where can I finde the definition of ARM9_OWNS_ROM | ARM9_OWNS_CARD?
I have a compiled error.
Is the same definition as here?
#define ARM7_MAIN_RAM_PRIORITY BIT(15)
#define ARM7_OWNS_CARD BIT(11)
#define ARM7_OWNS_ROM BIT(7)

You don't need a previous version of devkitARM to build DSO but you'll have a fair bit of work to do. Personally I can't recommend the "use an old version" approach at all - bugs were fixed, code was improved and certain features are only available with later toolchains.
libfatdragon is merely a slight reworking of Chishm's nds_gba_fat. This has been superceded by libfat which is now supplied along with devkitARM.
DSO would benefit greatly from being built with a recent toolchain & libraries.

But has DragonMinded the time to rewrite/update the code for using "normal" libfat and full DLDI support (and other optimizations)?
We only can hope or self rewrite/rebuild the code and include the requested fixes/optimizations.

It could mean that, or it could refer to the fact that the browser saves HTML pages to the card before rendering them. I don't see any real reason actual file downloading in the traditional sense can't be done as it's basically already implemented. It's a pain, but it works: you have to browse to the file you want, which will display a blank page, then figure out which file in /cache it is and change its extension (and ideally move it out of /cache). :-p

Hm, maybe DSO needs an FTP client. ;-)
I've had less and less filesystem corruption incidents with each new version but they still do happen occasionally, mainly if I delete a file or (moreso) directory. I haven't seen just editing a file cause trouble anymore, but every now and then I'll find some weirdness with one or two of my files, and chkdisk will fix a few things and come up with one or two of DSO's browser cache files in /FOUND.000. I'm not sure whether to blame DSO (since it's always a browser cache file that gets found) or TxtWriter (since it's usually a file I frequently edit with it that gets messed up - its name gets changed, and an old copy under the old name remains), but I'm leaning toward the latter since it's old, unfinished, and uses GBA_NDS_FAT.

It certainly is to me. :D
And just a quick question: Is there a quick way to add support for other file types to be opened with the text editor in DSO? I've been playing with changing keysets for DScent a lot and they're stored in plain text files with the ".csk" extension. I've been renaming them to another extension type that is recognized so that I can edit them, but was wondering if there is a quick way to do it without resorting to writing a whole plugin for it?

Someone should make a DSE for it.
But really, we have a pretty decent standalone client.
Downloading would be advantages from the webbrowser for some stuff, but a full ftp might be overkill when we already have one.

There's still a minor bug in the configuration menu. Since both touching and moving to (using L/R) a text field activates it, you don't get a chance to read the description.
Startup sound is awesome. Directory listing can still take a while when you have a lot of files (~283); some sort of animation or something would help stop people thinking it's frozen.
Looks like either it or 7zip (probably the latter <_<) made a "dsorganize" directory in the root of the card, even though I put that in /data.
Looks like you've improved form elements in the web browser. :-) Not to mention favourites and that shortcut keyboard thing.
Excellent as always.
...but it froze when I poked DragonMinded.com in the favourites. O_o
[edit] File launching seems to have broken. It waited quite a while at "Initializing FAT", then printed this and froze (been waiting for ~5 minutes now):

This was launching Moonshell through a shortcut, which was already patched for GBAMP (which of course is what I was using), with the default boot loader set to Mighty Max. It's always worked before. I noticed it saying something like "Attempting to patch DLDI" quickly before clearing the screen too.

You would be right, if there really is one.
But if you talk about pretty humble DSFTP, we surely needs 'a full ftp'.
Try to load some mp3-files at a time - DSFTP stucks after 3, 4 maybe 5 files and you have to restart the whole thing (and if you are lucky your file structure wasn't messed up).
Try to start a big dpg-file loaded via DSFTP - 10 % it will start, 90 % it will state something like 'extension unknown' (and if you are lucky your file structure wasn't messed up).
Try to delete a file or a folder via DSFTP, if you are lucky your file structure wasn't messed up.

Again, this is not a bug. There are NO DESCRIPTIONS for text entry fields. There's not even code in place to load them.

You just have to setup the wireless config properly. I think my issue was that I tried to use a non-standard port at first, and going back to 21 made things simpler to use as it removed one possible issue from the equation.

Thats pretty bad.
I can only say,however, it had worked perfectly on my GBAMP every time.
(includeing deleteing stuff).
Its very slow, but apart from that I dont seem to have a problem.
I admit I never tried copying lots of stuff at once though....surely as long as the pc-side app queued the events though it wouldnt make a difference?

I found another bug in gba_nds_fat last night (two bugs fixed since the GBAX release). The previous one was a bug where it created an lfn entry for short entries that didn't need one. The current bug was one where it returned the wrong lfn name for some file lists. This last one is significant as it fixes the issuse with two files being named exactly the same sometimes, and directories freezing when the data is not corrupt on some cards. Also, it fixes issues where suddenly you are out of memory on certain apps.

Not trying to answer for DragonMinded or anything, but "it doesn't work" is not at all helpful in trying to debug something. If you provide more information on when exactly it freezes, and whether any buttons have any effect, it would be easier to help fix the problem.
#134384 - MechaBouncer - Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:45 pm
Does this mean that there will be a new version out once the GBAX competition is complete? Or will there be something like a v2.81 release in the near future? Just curious. Thanks!

MechaBouncer I usually don't release updates for awhile after a compo entry, out of respect for the compo. If I updated with a minor update, the splash screen would be taken out and that wouldn't be fair to GBAX.
oli321, delete your CACHE folder, restart DSO. It works fine on R4DS.

I was really hoping that the next version of DSOrganize would allow for browsing of two devices simultaneously (well, not precisely *simultaneously*, but you know what I mean) if you have both a slot-1 and a slot-2 cart. So that's disappointing, but of course it's always nice to see a new version of a much used homebrew.
DragonMinded, to you have plans to incorporate dual device browsing or are you waiting until Chishm introduces it into libfat (which I am also hoping will be happening soon)?
...word is bondage...
#134436 - tepples - Fri Jul 13, 2007 2:58 am
Dual device browsing has been in libfat since it had directory browsing, as long as one device is supported by the internal drivers. It's gba_nds_fat (of which DSO uses a customized version) that would need to be changed.

#134994 - Sweater Fish Deluxe - Thu Jul 19, 2007 2:55 am
Yeah, I meant once a dual DLDI system is implemented in libfat.
I assumed the version of gba_nds_fat in DSOrganize is modifed by code from libfat as well as DragonMinded's own modifications, which is why I thought it might have something to do with Chishm releasing a new verison of libfat.
Anyway, I have another suggestion for DSOrganize. It would be great if the Scribble Pad could be integrated with the Calendar so that each day had its own scribble picture that you could view easily as you browse the calendar or edit directly from the calendar section. Trying to write notes using the virtual keyboard is nasty.

Bug report regarding Internet streaming. I listen to the ORMGAS radio stream found at http://www.ormgas.com (80 kb/s one works fine) and have used it in DSO in the past. With 1.7, it would lose the buffer and have to refill it at the start of every new song, which wasn't that bad really. However, in 1.8, whenever a new song starts, it resets to what looks like a stream selection menu, which a single blue bar at the top of the touch screen, and no music plays at that point. I have to press B to exit and re-enter the stream to listen to the next song.

Get the newest load.bin. Patch DSO with the v1 GnM DLDI. Put it on the root of your card and name it bootme.nds.

I patched DSO with version 1 of the DLDI (Games n' Music), and put the load.bin in the proper spot. This does NOT fix the bootme problem. It does allow me to boot other homebrew (very well, in fact, just slowly) from within DSOrganize.
Is the bootme fix in a new version waiting for release after GBAX?

For some reason, when playing music on DSOrganize (.mp3's, 128kbps) on my Games n' Music card, sometimes the music will cut out, skip repeatedly for a while, and then DSOrganize will lock up. This has happened quite a few times, it doesn't do this in MoonShell with the same files on the same device. I haven't had it crash anywhere else, but it does it often in music playback.

I've been having difficulty with DSO crashing while playing audio as well. Only with mp3 and ogg encoded audio though, my mods play without any problems.
#135989 - calcprogrammer1 - Sat Jul 28, 2007 8:15 am
I bet it's some sort of buffer underrun or something. The Games n' Music is incredibly slow at reading from the card (as opposed to my GBAMP CF, which is very fast), and the new mp3 engine in DSO may try to read faster than the GnM's stream...then again this is all a guess. I saw a similar incident with MoonShell at my friend's house. His old Games n' Music broke (he got it replaced though) where the microSD wouldn't stay in, it was held down with tape, and while playing a video, the tape came loose and the card popped out. The video did something similar, it skipped and crashed.
Mods and any other tracker formats are relatively small, and are probably copied entirely to memory, and therefore don't cause any problems, while streaming formats (ogg, mp3, wav, etc) seem to cause problems.
The weird part is mp3's work great in MoonShell with my GnM...but ogg's sometimes crash, but that's cause the only ogg encoder I found encoded at ridiculously high bitrates.

I'm a bit slow tonight, I neglected to mention I'm using a max media dock, on which DSO managed to play music flawlessly in previous versions. Not that it's a problem for me, I've mainly been using DSO as a boot loader, so I'm sticking with 2.8 for now.

There are two distinct factions within the Ogg Vorbis users community: A) those who want to "archive" their CDs at maximum quality on prosumer audio equipment (nominal bitrate 256 kbps or higher), and B) those who just want to listen on low-end equipment. You were probably using a tool designed for A) to do B). I recommend going to RareWares and downloading oggdropXPd to encode your .wav files to Vorbis at quality 2, which gives about 80 kbps and is enough for the DS's 10-bit DAC. For more compression, you can downmix the files to mono either before or during encoding, letting you leave one ear open to the world.

I could use a cmdline, I know how, but I prefer GUI's...preferably something that could go from mp3, wma, and wav to ogg, I have a lot of wma's (yes, back when I got my old mp3 player that did wma, I actually thought M$'s proprietary junk was good, and encoded all my CD's to wma, now I have a bunch of unsupported M$ junk lying around lol) Though, it's not really important anyways, I'll find something eventually, I've converted a lot of it to mp3, and mp3's play fine in MoonShell (and my PDA, I use GSPlayer which only supports mp3, I use my PDA a lot because it has sound equalizer and stuff and the headphone output is loud for when I use it outdoors).

Nope, it's a DSO feature that saves battery power. When the screens are off, the speaker amplifier is a significant power drain.

#136069 - dantheman - Sat Jul 28, 2007 9:49 pm
Moonshell continues audio output through the speakers even if the lid is closed, as does LMP-ng, so you can use those if you wish. Alternatively, if you must use DSO but wish to keep audio playing through the speakers, you can see if LoveLite supports the reset protocol for your device. If it does, you can use it to turn off the backlight and then launch DSO, which respects the current backlight position. You'll still have to keep the lid open, but at least the backlight will be turned off to save power.

It's also easy to run the headphone cable between the buttons of your shirt. Consider that an iPod player doesn't even have an internal speaker.

the only thing I would like to request would be, that we can save linktargeturl's while we are browsing the web into a .pkg files on a specific folder in the card so we can download it later on
without having to, write down the link, create a .pkg file, remember the stuff written into a .pkg file, save, open the pkg file and hope that it downloads
Would this be doable ?
BTW: How is your PC Problem going DM, found anything ?

DM, I love the CSS, the rendering of small images and CSS is at a good speed, and, may be almost as fast as opera browser!!!
However, the way the page is displayed with the CSS can sometimes be a nuisance - especially white text! However with that said the fix of background colour with text seems to work well on most websites.
In other words, I love the release and hope you do well in the neoflash coding compo.

Module Player doesn't play module files anymore.
When opening a module file, DSO will play only first-row-notes and then stopps (files and card / filesystem are ok).
Another question: there's a file called "debug.txt" in the card's root since DSO 2.9; what is this file for?

When opening a module file, DSO will play only first-row-notes and then stopps (files and card / filesystem are ok).
Another question: there's a file called "debug.txt" in the card's root since DSO 2.9; what is this file for? |
Ok I looked through and modules play just fine. Also, no references to the debug funtions. Could you open the debug.txt and tell me what it says inside?

Wow, thank you for this update DragonMinded! I love it. I don't have to use DSO as a bootloader anymore (though it made a great bootloader). I'm on a trip, and connecting on an ethernet connection, so I can't test the WiFi stuff yet, but my friend said that images were starting to be supported in the browser. If it's true, great :), if not, it's still awesome.
Only thing, the dancing cow was better than whatever it has now, the neoflash splash is annoying >.<, so hope you win the competition so it'd be worth something :)
And what is Left Handed Mode, I'm Left Handed, but I am used to using the D-pad for movement, I only use the buttons as D-pad in things like shooter games. So if it just flips L/R, Dpad and ABXY, I'll stick with Right Handed mode, since that's what I'm used to using anyways.

I've posted on drgaonminded's blog and the neoflash topic about my problems.
Usin ez4 and alt dldi i get a very long loading and lag everywhere from clicking on buttons to playing music.
i know this alt dldi allows for slower access times than the standard one, and dragonminded said it is the problem, however all previous versions of DSO that i have tried have worked fine with it.
I don't understand what has been changed to break compatability with this slower access dldi.

Hmm strange... somehow copying files is broken for me :\ I can cut them, and it works, but whenever I copy them they come out as 0 Byte.
I use an M3 Simply to copy the exec_stub.bin from one to another location of my card, it does fail in the same way for other (bigger) files.
Plus, it does not work on my Gbamp aswell, anyone having the same problem ?
Connecting to wifi works fine as always with my Phat

i got a supercard ds one,
dso 2.8 works nice, i can connect to internet,
games works too, i can connect to internet,
dso 2.9 don't work when trying to connect to internet; "failed to connect"
=(
where is the problem? i erased all dso files before install it and is correctly patched, and located in root directory :s
#137944 - pas - Fri Aug 17, 2007 9:36 pm
I can't even boot Homebrew from my Gbamp anymore. I tried it using the Internal DSO Loader, and using the Chisim and Mighty Max one. No one booted only a single Homebrew :( .
I even tried to turn the internal patching off, didn't work.
Thought, if I boot them as _Boot_MP.nds or using another Program to load they work fine.
Addidionally i noticed that the two options:
- Disable Auto DLDI Patching
- Disable Writing to Card
are not available in the Config Screen, and we can just change them by editing the config.ini manually.
I hope you try to look into it.

Those objects are not MEANT to be in the config. ESPECIALLY not the write option. Just think, every noob on the planet is going to flip that option, restart, and realize it doesn't write, and then try to use the config screen to save the write setting again.
Also, it sounds like these are card errors. You forget that I develop on a GBAMP and booting works fine here.

I really like what you have going with that web browser now. It is still pretty simplistic, but very impressive.
Unfortunately, I find the way that it is always writing files to a cache directory very off-putting, especially considering the small size of the card I have DSO running on.
Is it really technically required to have the cache files? (If not, an option to turn those off would be excellent! Otherwise, I guess I'll live with them, but I wish they would pretend to not exist).
Also, is there a magical way that a web browser can find the mobile-friendly version of a page? Would be kind of cool if that happened here, since those versions work much better on the DS.

Like dualscreenman, I am having boot issues on my Supercard miniSD. With my 2 GB miniSD card, the opening logos fade in and out as usual, and I see the initial DSO menu with the icons, but the startup sound stutters for a second before stopping completely and the whole program freezes up (touchscreen fails, RTC freezes, etc). Tried using SCSD.dldi, SCSD_moon.dldi, and no patching.
With my 1 GB miniSD card using SCSD_moon.dldi, it boots and all, but I suspect things may still be iffy, as it's frozen on me a couple of times. Unfortunately the Ormgas radio stream is even more broken in this release than with 2.8 (now it plays 1 second of audio and is then silent), but that's just a minor issue that I can easily deal with.
From what little I tested of the web browser, the image support appeared to be a cool addition, though page loading did increase obviously. Not bad though.
#137958 - spalnndsstest - Sat Aug 18, 2007 2:47 am

#137963 - Dood77 - Sat Aug 18, 2007 3:52 am
My issues are similar to dantheman, and I also have a SCminiSD, 1GB kingston, SCSD.dldi.
Startup sound stutters, and touch screen does not work at all, though it works in official games and other homebrew. Wifi doesn't connect in DSO, but it works in other homebrew, etc.

I'm using GnM, and it boots perfectly (touch screen works, booting works, audio works, everything works). I haven't gotten WiFi working yet, but I haven't found any decent WiFi connections, when I get home, I'll try. My friend, who has a FW1 DS Phat and Games n' Music, got it working apparently, he said that the browser worked.

I've become accustomed to using DSO as the loader on my MMD, but it's good to know it can be run from the built in loader now. Also I'm liking the upgrades to the web browser. I wouldn't have figured images to ever be implemented, even if just smaller ones.
#137972 - DragonMinded - Sat Aug 18, 2007 4:13 am
Of course you have to have a cache for the browser. Where else am I going to put downloaded content? There's two megs of ram left in DSO, and I have to render webpages and images, and you want me to turn OFF caching?

When you say it caches files, you mean it saves them temporarily to your flash media? If so, it seems that it's a reasonable idea. 2MB seems like it should be enough for web pages and small images (say, www.google.com, one image and some text), but if it requires a cache, there's no problem in using one, image support sounds great and I can't wait to try it out.

Very nice, just downloaded it. Unfortunately I haven't spent any time playing around with the new features, because of a booting problem that I just can't figure out.
I've been having problems using DSO to boot other NDS files, ever since v2.8 (and now 2.9). I have an R4 (firmware 1.11 with DLDI auto-patch and I manually DLDI patched all files as well), and have already replaced the exec_stub.bin with the custom R4/M3Simply version. My config is set to boot using the MightyMax method (Chishm's and DSO internal boot methods have never worked for me). Fresh DSOrganize folder with all other options default.
This is what happens when I try to load an NDS file from DSO 2.9 - but it depends on what homebrew:
- loads but touchscreen is broken (Beup live 0.3e, Colors! 1.05, LMP-ng v1). LMP-ng also shows low-battery incorrectly, and freezes when trying to play music.
- loads, then freezes (Moonshell 1.71, Pop_tire, WordWrap 2). Moonshell is the English version from the R4 firmware. What's interesting is that normally, Moonshell shows an English message briefly on the bottom screen while loading. Now, the bottom screen is in Japanese, and it is stuck.
- no sound (Pop_tire, WordWrap 2) - anything that uses sound also seems to freeze.
- two white screens (DiagnoSe), white and black screens (Bunjalloo, DSAIM), or two black screens (ComicBookDS 2.2)
- works (DSFTP, DSO 2.9). DSFTP connected and transferred a file with no problems. But it doesn't use the touchscreen. DSO is the only one that loads and works including touchscreen and sound.
Ironically, I can boot DSO from DSO! I wonder if this implies some sort of missing initialization problem? I have lots more homebrew that I haven't tried, but I decided to stop there.
I have been able to boot homebrew from DSO before. I believe the last time this worked was 2.7beta/final (not sure). At that time I was also using an older R4 firmware. So I tried reverting to an older firmware (1.08, before DLDI auto-patch feature existed), but there was no difference. I would try reverting the DSO to a previous version as well, but now I'm too tired, and it's a pain transferring files on this microSD.

In theory, it would be possible to make a cache directory on a SLOT-2 card with RAM, such as a SuperCard, M3 Perfect, EZ-Flash 3-in-1, or the card that comes with Opera. But this differs for each make and model of SLOT-2 card with RAM, and the robust implementation (by Lick) is licensed incompatibly with some of the libraries in DSO.

Ideally, each page would put the content before the navigation, using CSS2 absolute positioning to move the navigation up when the current CSS2 media type is "screen". I notice that Wikipedia already does this. Ideally, a mobile web browser would interpret CSS and look for rules assigned to the media type "handheld".

Hmmm..
I tried the new version (had to patch it for my Gbamp cause it was prepatched for the GnM Card).
I still can't boot Homebrew from the DSO Shell, no matter what, I just get two white screens after booting.
And Copying files is still broken aswell, they have 0b and ofcourse that's not what I want.

Yeah, its certainly possible, although I believe you're referring to virtual memory, not the paging file. (Different things, I think...)
I'm not an expert as to what these are used for in windows exactly but I'm guessing most of what it's used for have to do with multitasking stuff, like switching between applications with large foot prints.

I have already gotten the official email from an unnamed source and have emailed them about it. DSOrganize is TECHNICALLY under the GPL due to linking against it, but if it wasn't, it would have been under an educational license. I'll have to see what I can do about this, but I can't afford a lawyer. I am trying to save for school. This is the exact thing I was afraid of when releasing my source code. I knew the companies that were making "homebrew friendly" cards and I knew their main business was piracy, so what was to stop them from just stealing my work?

No intent to trivialize how really stupid this is of those people (I would hate to have that done to my work), but it must be said that the changes they did do - with the exception of the pointless touch wheel - look pretty smooth. In particular, I think having the audio recording accessible from the home screen would be a nice thing.
I'm noticing lots of small gaps there as it loads stuff. Is it possible that they split the different chunks of the program into independent files to save memory?
As for GPL violations, there is sadly little that I know of which can be done, but you could check out gpl-violations.org. I've never explored the site very far, but it looks helpful.

It's not an issue of how smooth something is. If all I had to do for DSOrganize was steal all of the functionality, of course it would look better! That's the only coding work I'd have to do. There is no "must" in saying ripped off work looks better.
Besides, you can create a shortcut in DSO that launches the voice recorder on a specific .wav file from the homecreen.

Hmm... I guess you should never release any source again until you are REALLY done with your Project. We all here respect your work and I think no one would disagree on the fact that it surely must feel bad that others make money with own ideas. So DM just take the source down until so anything alike will not happen again. For that mediacart guys, don't mind them, they're like every firm: getting much money out of less work. It just proves how much potential DSO has.

Dude, that's illegal. DSO links to GPL code, and thus the source code must be available on the terms of the GPL license. You can't both have the cake and eat it.
That being said, it sucks that other people violates the license. But do we even know if that is the case here? Has anyone purchased a MediaCart and checked that the source code isn't shipped with it?
#138126 - Mr. Picklesworth - Mon Aug 20, 2007 2:17 am
Indeed, kusma speaks the truth.
Although I believe the terms of the license allow you to have a message saying "ask me for source code", as it still technically makes it available. (There is nothing saying it has to be a direct download, and there is really no difference anyway; in one case it's a machine responding to a request, in the other case it's a human).
You still have to give up the code, but it can dissuade most people who would be using it for ill, and makes the situation easier to control.
On a different topic, one does not need to compare the bins to figure out that Mediacart is a straight rip-off. As DragonMinded pointed out in his web log, you can just look at the config file shown in their ebook reader example.

Yeah, the one screen shot was the only I had seen at the time of that post. I've since seen the video review...
I'm not very enlightened on this licenses thing, but wouldn't it be illegal for them to sell it, even if they did include the source? (or would they just have to make the source free?)

Since DSO is under the GPL (due to it using GPL software) then there is nothing illegal at all about this, this is how the GPL is supposed to work.
Nothing in the GPL prevents you from taking the source code from a project, modifying it, and selling it. That is actually what the GPL is designed to allow. You don't need to ask permission from the original author or even let them know either.
The only possible GPL violation here would be if they do not release the modified source code (to those who purchase the device, not publicly) or credit DragonMinded as the original author. As this device isn't yet released to the public (as far as I can tell, there only appears to be a single review of it) we don't even know if that is the case. There is absolutely no reason they can't sell a modified DSO assuming they adhere to the other GPL requirements. For that matter, you could sell unmodified copies of DSO and still not be in violation of the license.
FSF FAQ
On the other hand, closing the source and claiming the code was "stolen" IS a GPL violation. You can't "steal" GPL code, that is the entire point of the GPL. You also can't arbitrarily close the source of a GPL project because you feel like it. If you really want to close DSO's source, then you need to remove all GPL'd code that it uses, and then relicense it under whatever suits you better.
What you are doing now is not only a larger violation then the (unconfirmed) Media Cart issue, but is also pointless since the source for 2.9 has been in the wild long enough for everyone to already have it.
I would however suggest you really think about what you are doing here. You used code written by other people, and you made a larger program out of it. The Media Cart people used code written by other people, and made a larger program out of it. It is the exact same thing. Nobody has "stolen" your code any more than you "stole" the GPL code used in DSO.
Now, it may be that you did not fully understand the GPL and it's implications when you used GPL code in DSO. In that case I can understand your current position (though I would have to question why you didn't fully understand the licensing before you started using other people's code) and see why you would want to revert to a closed source model. But if you knowingly went into the GPL, then what you are currently doing is just misguided and only making matters worse.
P.S.
I should clarify that I am not saying what they have done isn't underhanded, and I am not unsympathetic to your cause; if the same thing happened to me I would certainly be pissed off.
"Based on the work of..." should be plastered on every page of the site and every developer's name and site should be listed inside the "Credits" part of the software itself so everyone can see it; no question. Permission should have also been secured from the author of all the individual programs, not that it is contractually required, but just because that is the professional thing to do.
I can even understand your moral standpoint, that a device built to play primarily to play commercial ROMs is bundling your software as a "*wink wink*" feature to pretend it isn't all about bootlegs.
But when I see posts like "get a lawyer" and you try to pull the source...I have to chime in. The fact of the matter is that you have no legal leg to stand on, since nothing illegal has been done. Again, that is a bit forward-looking and assuming they don't refuse to credit you and release the modified sources to those who buy the device.
Which reminds me, let's not forget that even massive companies (Linksys, D-Link, etc) have made occasional lapses in GPL etiquette and didn't release the source to things they have modified. When called on it, they (usually) complied, and if not, there was a case against them.
We can't rule out the fact that the creators of this device simply don't know or don't fully understand what using GPL'd code means. When they are informed of the situation (and perhaps put under a wee bit of pressure) they may rectify the issue.

for everybody that can't connect to internet with dso 2.9
the problem is wifilib; you should disable DHCP and configure you connection manualy,
something stupid in my opinion becasue that dont allow you to connect quikly to a free AP in the street and check a web,
IMO old wifilib was better.
#138190 - Darkflame - Mon Aug 20, 2007 11:27 pm
Its depressing and sad in the extreme a company would not contact a creator and offer collaboration. I'm sure if they worked with Dragonminded they would have got a much better result for their software, as well as a great deal better goodwill.
Personally, I don't think source code makes much difference. I could equaly see them just bundling the whole app blindly.
This is not the sort of thing that will encourage us to buy it. (I'm sure the vaste majority of us wont be)
Still, as has been said, lets not jump the gun.
The device has yet to be released, so they may well have just not got around to everything yet.

See, I don't mind them bundling the app blindly. At least then it's my app getting free publicity. I also sent them an email letting them know that if they wanted to, they could simply release the code under GPL and it would indeed be legal, but that I would still be pissed off.
I think I like T3's idea. I am mulling over making public versions GPL free and releasing the source under my own license. That would, however, take away the calculator, the images capability, and most of the sound capability. I just have to think about whether it's worth it or not.
What irked me in this case was not that they were using my code in their program, but that they had based their entire interface and most of their product lineup on MY ideas that I'VE worked a year and a half on. The only GPL linked code they used out of my project was the images code. Basically, they took just my part of the source code, that if released individually, I would not have allowed to be sold. They didn't even use the original GPL software that was meant to be released modified if I made changes.
Basiclly, the entire interface, look and feel, and most of the IDEAS of DSOrganize were ripped off, not just code.

This is a bit of an aside from the current lines of discussion, but a quick question.
Has anyone else been having problems with DSO as of versions 2.8 and above when run from a SC:miniSD?
When running directly from my SC:miniSD DSO stalls on the Initial File System loading sequence (As indicated by the dancing cow/birdy icon).
However, if I launch DSO from Moonshell it works fine.
Is the problem my DLDI, or is it something to do with the SC firmware?
I think I'm using SC firmware 1.81...

This is based on the fact that there's two DLDI drivers for it and the fact that every version of DSOrganize has done something different on the sc-mini, dispite the fact that the core FAT library hasn't changed in 2 years.

The "two DLDI" issue applies to nearly all slot-2 Supercards, not just the SC-miniSD. Some Supercards work with the default SCSD.dldi, and some simply don't. It happens mostly with SCLites but can also affect the SD and miniSD versions as well. In fact, it may also have to do with the media card itself; I have one miniSD card that works fine with SCSD.dldi but my other one requires SCSD_moon.dldi for FAT access to work at all.
I've had great success running the DLDI-enabled builds of DSO on my SC miniSD ever since you started building them, except for this last release which, as I stated before, locks up and freezes on my one miniSD card (the one that usually works fine with homebrew and only requires SCSD.dldi). The other miniSD card worked when using SCSD_moon.dldi though I had odd freezes, which I'm guessing now is due to corruption I believe my card had at the moment, so I'll retest sometime soon.
EDIT: It appears they've taken notice, DM.

Yes. I've been in contact with the manufacturer and they are stating now that they promise to uphold the GPL by releasing full source to their product, as well as a credits screen for the homebrew code that they are using. I was afraid this was going to be a company like every other one, ignoring homebrew completely except as an easy way to boost sales of their own product, but it seems like this manufacturer is willing to take the proper steps to work with the community.
Once I hear from them again, assuming the response is satisfactory, I should be able to post on my blog that all is well and worked out, and that people should be encouraged to buy the mediacart assuming they have a DLDI driver planned.

Hmmmmmmm, in my case I found that DSO version 2.6 and below worked fine with my SC:miniSD, but that was prior to DLDI, yeah.
2.7 and above had issues, but not predictable ones :-(
If I recall, 2.7 beta didn't work with DLDI, then 2.7 Final did. 2.8 and 2.9 don't work with my SCSD at the moment.
I have yet to try the SCSD_Moon DLDI though. Hopefully it will help somewhat.

I'd give it at least 2.10 and 2.11, in order to port the codebase to libfat (as wintermute informed me) and to hammer out incompatibilities between the sound system and recent devkitARM, before 3.0 comes out.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but Team Cyclops released a BETA DLDI driver for the CycloDS Evo:
http://www.cyclopsds.com/downloads/CycloEvoDLDI_v1.0.zip
It is worth mentioning that it does not properly initialize SDHC cards:
TeamCyclops wrote: |
Hrm, there is one problem with this DLDI driver. The driver relies on a flag getting set by the loader to tell it if you're using a SDHC card or not. It doesnt detect this internally. Therefore, this DLDI driver will not work with SDHC MicroSD's. I'll work on a fix, but in the meantime, the DLDI driver posted should be considered BETA ONLY!
|
Here's the original topic:
http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthread.php?p=11382#post11382
I bring this up because of the need for separate exec_stub.bin files needing to be pre-patched for DLDI. And out of curiosity, does Chishm's load.bin file need to be patched also, or does it use the DLDI driver from memory?

Awesome work DM, I love the small images option. However I found some possible bugs. On the configuration screen, I do not seem to be able to access the web browser options using the start button, only using the L and R buttons to scroll through the fields. Also, when renaming a file in the file browser, pressing clear does not let me edit the filename; I must exit the rename prompt and delete the filename manually.

I've looked through the last few pages, I've tried searching the forum, and looked through DSOrganize's troubleshooting stuff, and haven't found anyone else with this problem, but if it's already been covered I apologise.
When I load up DSOrganize I just get two black screens. I'm using an M3 Lite (with a 1gb Kingston Micro SD card), and patched the .nds with the M3 Adapter (SD Card) dldi found here.
DSOrganize.nds is in the root of my card, and I copied the DSOrganize folder to root as well, so I've got no idea what the problem is. I've tried recopying and repatching it all from scratch a couple of times, still no dice.
Anybody able to help me out? Thanks.
#138645 - zAlbee - Mon Aug 27, 2007 5:25 am
Well it seems my post has been lost under the GPL and MediaCart-related discussion.
Has anyone with an R4DS been successful with booting homebrew from DSO 2.8 or 2.9? Can anyone confirm my problem?
Additionally, trying to boot NDSmail from DSO gives an interesting error message that points to an ARM 7 problem:
Code: |
Waiting for ARM7..
If you can read this, you are either not using the version that is suited for your flashcard, an emulator ... or Bronto forgot to link the ARM7 core |
Again it works normally when booting from the R4 firmware.

The exec_stub file from mighty max is not the best loader, but is the only one reported to work on R4. One of the problems it has is it doesn't properly initialize the arm7 on some homebrew.

#138688 - MechaBouncer - Mon Aug 27, 2007 9:21 pm
So the "exec_stub.bin" file is actually MightyMax's loading method and not the DSOrganize method? I'm experimenting with trying to launch homebrew from DSO on a CycloDS Evolution Slot-1 card. The Evo offers DLDI autopatching, but the beta driver is available for testing. I'm trying to see if any of the loading methods work with the autopatched DSO first (so no prior patching). So far, the DSOrganize method says that no loader is available whether I've patched the exec_stub.bin file or not and Chishm's method just seems to hang while attempting to initialize. I haven't been able to test it much more than that. I'm trying to figure out what I should try next.

(Tch, if I try to save my 2000th post for the release of my app, I'll never be able to post again. >_>)
So, the latest DSO is awesome. Images are working, hasn't broken my filesystem once, and fixed-width editor font is nice. OGG playback stutters, though. However, there's been one nasty design flaw that's been annoying the crap out of me lately: the text editor doesn't ask you to save when you exit (and also can't save without exiting). Combine this with the rare touchscreen misread (or an accidental poke/button press) and Murphy's Law, and I end up losing a lot of work by having the editor close without saving while typing. Bloody annoying.
Also, I was wondering if the plugin/executable system could ever be adapted for pseudo-multitasking, being able to load more than one plugin at a time and switch between them? Maybe using slot-2 RAM? For example, while using the text editor you could pull up the calculator, crunch some numbers, and then go back to the editor without having to save, exit, and find your position again. Or a plugin could be made that's a client for an Internet radio station, that would load up the music player plugin and let it do the music stuff while the client plugin does things like fetch information about the songs from a website.
One last question: background images? Even just one for all screens? They wouldn't even have to take up any extra RAM or CPU power (only VRAM) - just put them on a separate background layer behind the main one and fill blank spots with transparent instead of white, and load the image directly into VRAM.
Anyway, looking forward to future versions, keep up the good work. :-)

Well, after a bit of testing with DSOrganize and the beta DLDI driver for a bit, they've released a new driver available in this topic:
http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1203&page=4
Here's what TeamCyclops reports:
TeamCyclops wrote: |
We've just uploaded v1.1 of the DLDI driver for CycloDS Evolution. Download it here. There have been quite a few changes from the last file released, most notably:
* Now contains full SD init code. This means it will work with both standard and SDHC MicroSD cards, and it should work with homebrew executed via WMB (untested) or other alternative loading methods, allowing you to completely bypass loading through the CycloDS Evolution GUI if you wish. We've personally tested the driver by loading homebrew from slot2 CycloDS, which works fine.
* Various workarounds are included to enable support for the various ways in which 3rd party loaders use the DLDI driver. Its been tested to work with DSOrganise (Chishm loading method only), DSChannels and Chishm's standalone loader.
This is the same DLDI driver which is included in the new v1.2 BETA #3 firmware. Unless you're not using CycloDS Evolution to actually load your homebrew (which would be the case if you're executing code via WMB) then you dont actually need to manually patch anything, even in the case of 3rd party loaders. |
I've tested it with Chishm's NDS_loader, DSOrganize 2.9, and DSChannels Beta 5. NDS_loader and DSO (using Chishm launch method) launch and run unpatched apps without issue, but apps launched from DSChannels can't read from the memory card unless they are manually DLDI patched. It seems that DSO permanently patches what it launches, so all that needs to be done is launch them from DSO once and they'll work with DSChannels as well. This is a major update for anyone using a CycloDS Evo and DSO!

i tested dsorganize 2.9 and i don't secces connecting to ROUTER
a guy with "NecroBlade" nick told me to config ip manually...
okey then... seems the new fashion wifilib don't accept dhcp... argh !
any way... i config my ip manually... now i open dso 2.9 and i can connect to router, but irc or web browser dont receive any data when i fill in a URL
or a irc server...
okey, lets download the wifilib_test.nds ...
i do the test... and the msg is: "connected!"
then i do the DNS test and the msg is "NULL TO RESOLVE..."
o.O !
i can connect to internet with any apllication (dso 2.8 too) and with any game, but not with dso 2.9... so strange;
i know i got my wifi config correct...
ip : 192.168.1.40 ---> or 192.168.1.***
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
1? dns: 192.168.1.1
2? dns; 192.168.1.1
and all are correct, i just copy them from windows with "ipconfig /all"
i use a NDS Lite with SuperCard DS One, any one have an idea of what's wrong with the new wifilib?

Hey DM, it seems two promising homebrew DSFile and DSChannels have either become stuck or stopped development. It would be nice if you can implement some features from these similiar apps to DSOrganize.
A. Could you include the booting method of DSChannels using the dsgstub.bin? It seems this loader can boot on carts that the included loaders of DSO can't. Ex. EZ-V
B. Could you upgrade the Browser function of DSO to also browse Slot-2 if inserted. Allowing the user to transfer files between the two?
Congrats on getting 2nd place in the NEO Comp! Also thanks for your hard work and I hope you consider my suggestions.

That tends to happen when you don't give anyone a clue that you've taken notice to people's problems with your software, or tell any of them that you're working on a solution.
Now that we've come to that, are you trying to figure out why the latest version is very broken on a Supercard miniSD? I'd be more than happy to help you out in anyway I can.

I didn't necessarily stop development on DSFile, it's just that I'm out of clues as to what to add. I tried to add booting support, but since I'm using PAlib, the libraries don't work. If you could, I'd love to see dual slot browsing (and booting, if possible) added to the already way-awesome file browser on DSOrganize.
It would have to be converted to libfat though (but that's not a bad thing :) )
Just instead of reading the file "/DSORGANIZE/FOLDER/FILE.txt" read "fat2:/DSORGANIZE/FOLDER/FILE.txt" for slot-2 and "fat1:/" for slot-1. The slot-1 needs to have a DLDI patch, the slot-2 needs to be native to libfat (GBAMP, SCCF(?), etc). If you're smart enough to figure it out, loading a second DLDI (for another slot-2 device) would be great, and patching the chishm loader for whatever device then booting from it would be even better.

That tends to happen when you don't give anyone a clue that you've taken notice to people's problems with your software, or tell any of them that you're working on a solution.
Now that we've come to that, are you trying to figure out why the latest version is very broken on a Supercard miniSD? I'd be more than happy to help you out in anyway I can. |
I told him every time he came in, as well as that there would be a fix and he should be patient. Next time you assume, try to at least ASK first. As to the miniSD problem, I have no control over what boots my stuff, and the miniSD is KNOWN (as I've said before) not to work properly with homebrew.

I admit I was ill informed as to the situation, but I wasn't only talking about that one or my problem either. In my opinion you seem to be less involved about your DSO users than other developers and their software, maybe I'm missing things on IRC, but thats just something I've noticed.
And I still don't see how you can claim no responsibility for code not booting on the SCminiSD, since every homebrew I can think of worked the same on most other cards as it did on the miniSD, I think it's possible for you to change something around to let it boot, without effecting other card's compatibility, unless of course for some reason it would hinder overall performance. Is DSO compiled with r20 yet? Are you and/or wintermute working on that?
Like I said, I'm willing to help, like with beta testing, or even sending you my card if you're confident enough you can get it fixed (and you live in the states.

Funny, setting up a forum, offering realtime support on IRC, browsing ~10 other forums known to have posts about my software (including this one) AND posting on them, setting up a wiki, responding to emails, responding to blog posts, and setting up a feedback page is considered being less involved. What should I do to satisfy my users more... go door to door? All sarcasm aside, I put a ton of time into DSOrganize and the uesrbase and I find it more than slightly insulting for someone to tell me that I seem to be neglecting my users. I put as much time as I can inbetween a fulltime job and hobbies outside Nintends DS development. Please remember noone is paying me to support or produce anything.
On my MK2, MK3, GBAMP (x2), over WMB, and on my GnM DSOrganize boots and functions as intended. On virtually all homebrew enabled devices, DSOrganize is reported to load fine. Thus, I can very easily with solid evicence conclude that the scMini is to blame in this instance. Besides, how am I to fix booting on something I don't own. I'm not about to start stabbing in the dark for a reason. On GnM DSOrganize didn't boot because it was hanging up on a wait loop in the touch code in libnds (legacy). There is NO way I would have found that without having a GnM to actually test on.
If you wanted to donate, that would be fine, but there is a problem. I don't own any DSLites, so it wouldn't fit in my DS. Also, I can't make any guarantees or promises that I can fix anything given hardware to test on. Some things are just out of my control or knowledge.

Agree on the hardware issue, it's hard to debug hw-related bugs when you don't have the hw in the first place. SC miniSD isn't Lite only though.

Well DM, I think the issue is that the previous versions of DSO worked fine on the SC MiniSD. It's just this very latest release that doesn't boot properly. Perhaps the fixes you made to get the GnM working ended up screwing up the SC MiniSD?
And yeah, the miniSD versions fit in DS Phats fine.
#139969 - DragonMinded - Wed Sep 12, 2007 4:34 am
No, it didn't. You can't screw up booting by commenting out a loop.

All I said was that was something I had noticed on occasion. For instance, most likely it wasn't on purpose, but I've asked the question of whether DSO compiles on r20 or not I believe two to three times, and you have ignored the question. I understand if you missed it in my last post, seeing how both our posts were lengthy. Also you said things in your last post referring to mine that were too harsh, I only said less involved, not neglect, and from my point of view. I don't pretend to be all-informed about whose emails you answer, etc. but that is the conclusion I drew from what I've seen here on the forums, and a few fleeting moments on IRC. (Although you were in another conversation and some people on IRC are less than polite.)
I should've realized personal offense could have been taken from my statement, although if you can believe it I meant none, and should've kept my thoughts to myself and just asked you about the miniSD problem.
I'm not looking for a guarantee, but maybe there was some way you could send me a debug build that might ballpark the problem? And then I could send you my card with more confidence. I guess what I'm asking is, what is the first thing you would do to debug DSO on my SCminiSD? And is it possible for me to take these first steps?

Okay, I just messed around with 2.9 some more after having a problem with WiFi in it.
Narrowed the weirdness down a bit...I can connect fine now, unless there's a WEP key set -at all-. The key was always set properly because wifi worked in everything else, including a lastest wifi_lib_test version using 0.3.2
Can someone else with a newish Lite (one of the ones that don't work with wifilib stuff from last year/etc...you'll know if you have one :P) confirm whether or not they've gotten DSO 2.9's wifi to work with WEP set?
#140148 - DragonMinded - Thu Sep 13, 2007 10:47 pm
Dood77 I am not going to provide a debug build for a specific card. I was done with that last september when I burned out due to compiling release after release for each card that refused to boot homebrew properly.
Also, I've stated before that DSOrganize NEEDS r17 to compile.
JLsoft, I use WEP at my house. DSO connects fine here.

Alright, I was just trying to come up with some solution that we could both be happy with, but it appears you'd rather just have my card unsupported.

Yes, I would. It is a royal nightmare for me to constantly deal with differentiations in cards from manufacturers that claim homebrew support, then dump said support on the homebrewers themselves. The supercard miniSD is rather unpopular and IMHO is not worth the headache. Keep in mind that it was your choice of card, and I am in no way entitled to support any and every card out there.

You do seem to be a bit over the edge here. You put your complaint in already no need to take it this far. I'm sure he got the message and is trying his best so why bug him. That's just gonna make it worse. Just be patient and wait for an update.
Have you tried this: New SCSD DLDI.

Thanks god he is more patient than me, because he is doing great job both with writing his software and supporting it much better than commercial companies do.
Thanks DragonMinded.

I wish you would've told me you had no intention whatsoever to work on supporting my card, rather than leave me to try and come up with solutions that you've already decided against before I post them; it makes me look like I'm trying to get on your nerves, when I had no intention to.

Well it's been made clear to me that he is not working on fixing the problem, although it's true that it's hard to do without actually owning the card. As I stated before, I hadn't the intention of bugging him into fixing the problem, I was just trying to come up with a way to help fix the support that DM would be happy with. I guess all I can do is hope the next version will magically work.
OSW wrote: |

I agree.
As to trying to fix it myself:
I've tried multiple things with no success. Booting from 2.8, from moonshell, with the 2.8 DSOrganize folder, and with the 2.9 one. Also that new DLDI driver works fine for everything else, but its no different for DSO. It seems as though the problems are related to the ARM7, because the touchscreen doesn't work, as well as the X and Y buttons. (I knew that these two inputs are related separately to the D-Pad and other buttons, I'm most likely mistaken as to the ARM7 reference.)
Oh, and thank you for your comments, jetboy. They were a great help to the situation and benefited everybody.

#140501 - dantheman - Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:25 pm
I don't think it's just the ARM7 that's freezing up, it's the entire program (the clock display stops moving as well). Dood77, the only way I can run 2.9 is by using a different miniSD card that requires SCSD_moon.dldi to run things. The miniSD card I usually use for most things, that usually has very good homebrew compatibility, doesn't work for me. Have you tried using a different miniSD card?
#140505 - HyperHacker - Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:40 pm
The clock is handled by ARM7 too isn't it? If you can still move the cursor, use the calculator, etc, then ARM9 is still going. DSO doesn't use the ARM7 for much, so when it goes down, all you'll get is the touch screen, X/Y, wifi, sound and clock not working.

When I tried it upon its first appearance, it appeared to me that the entire program had frozen, and I don't think the Dpad worked. However, I haven't tried it in a while, so I could have been mistaken.
#140675 - Dood77 - Wed Sep 19, 2007 1:18 am
Actually, the clock doesn't freeze, it just takes awhile to get going. I know I can move the cursor around when it changes.
And I used to have another miniSD card, that in fact required scsd_moon.dldi, but it went missing a long time ago.

So I noticed opening an M3U file that uses \ instead of / in paths breaks things in strange ways. Most noticeably, if it doesn't just freeze, all files are reported as 0 bytes. I know the best solution is probably "don't open those, dummy" but I figured you'd want to know. >_>

Funny, DSOrganize includes code to translate those properly, and even removes drive letters from windows playlists. I've tested with windows playlists to ensure compatibility... maybe the files actually aren't in the right place?
If you are sure you are doing things right, send me the playlist.

When I open this playlist, it will quickly skip to the third song and freeze. Most of the time, the progress bar bugs out and covers most of the bottom screen (drawing >100%?), one time it only showed up at ~25%. LMP doesn't have a problem with it. If I select the individual files in the browser they play just fine, except for the first one which is a bit distorted and has the progress bar lagging behind. (LMP has similar problems, but everything else plays it fine; my guess is it's just taking a lot of CPU power to decode.)
The first song can be downloaded here (285K), if you need the rest I'll have to PM them for copyright/bandwidth-related reasons.
Also interesting is that the first one shows up using the 8.3 filename in the browser (KIRBYT~1.OGG).

#141270 - DragonMinded - Sun Sep 23, 2007 6:11 pm
The reason the filesystem dies is because for some reason it wasn't closing file handles when it failed to open files. I've fixed that for ogg files and it now plays the file even though the m3u stream fails. I think it's failing because the filenames are showing up wrong.
I thought I found a major bug just now, but I realized it was not loading anything because copying from this page added spaces to the end, so be careful you didn't do just that. I've added a check in the loadSound routine to make sure a file exists, and it doesn't crash on the third song now when it can't find it. It successfully loops to the end, and loads the first song again.
I've now tracked down the fat bug for you as well, it should be fine next release.

Hey DragonMinded,
I've just had to replace my old corega router with a new Linksys one, and it seems that DSOrganise won't access the internet any more. I've tried with the picture-chat app on the MoonShell website and that works fine, as well as any commercial games and most other DS homebrew. I have a silver DS Phat with V3 firmware, and my router has WEP enabled, although I'm not allowed to change that...

DSOrganize 3.0 works great. Not a whole lot of updates but it's definitely good. My favorite feature is that the music player doesn't randomly crash when I'm using a Games n' Music anymore :) and the new WiFi finder thing is pretty cool, now I don't have to carry MKDS around if I plan on using WiFi. I also like the tabs on the Configuration and the updated homebrew list in the Directory.
EDIT
Err....I spoke too soon....

I was listening to an mp3, I tapped the "Next Track" (R button icon, but I tapped it on screen) but it took me to the file list (wasn't on the last track though), then I hit A but it just blinked not played, then I hit B to go up, then when I tried going back into my AUDIO (music) folder, it crashed and gave the error. Nothing serious, but it did say to contact you.

These are some nice changes to the UI. I particularly like the new configuration screen, and the loading screen is good, too. (Oh, and the startup sound doesn't make the whole thing hang. That is quite nice).
One weird behaviour to bother you with so far: If I save or hit back in a setting in the config screen, it exits the entire thing. Rather annoying if I plan to do a lot of configuring.

That's because the save and back buttons relate to the whole configuration, not just each setting.

It might be my imagination but I've found that some versions of Windows decide to rejig the partition table on SD for you, thus rendering them useless in Linux. The way I've fixed this before is to clean off the partition table and reformat (using Linux). The only other thing I can suggest is to completely remove your card reader before inserting the card.

Hey! DSO is working on my SuperCard MiniSD again!
Thank you version 3 :-)

Hoorray! for version 3!
Now off to find bugs, 2.9 was hanging when trying to connect with no network available, gonna see if it goes away with the new wifi lib.

I like the new config menu and, although it was added a while ago, I love that you can press L and R in the home screen to go back and forth. This app is so useful I've replaced the CycloDS Evolution's custom Moonshell with a renamed DSO instead. Works quite well.
At first I thought I may have discovered a bug because DSO kept freezing when I launched things from the home screen (particularly going into the calendar) or tried to return to the home screen from them (to-do list and scribble), but I reformatted my MicroSD card in my Evo and it seems to be working properly now. I'll mention it if it starts happening again.

I'm about to do the same on my R4 now that MoonShell 1.7 doesn't want to play s3m or nsf files anymore.

Oh, sweet.
As usual, notes, bug reports, etc:
- As pointed out before, it's a bit annoying that leaving a text field on the config screen closes the config entirely.
- In the wifi config editor (awesome BTW), text isn't centred correctly in the SSID box; "GPRC Public Access" runs right out of the box onto the Scan button.
- The first time I tried to scan for APs, it immediately just said none found. I just hit back and tried again and it worked. A signal strength indicator would be good here.
- Nice touch showing a few hours of the day in the calendar.
- The image viewer cuts off the bottom row of pixels (all white) when viewing a 256x192 image. (I was actually coming here to report this in 2.9...) I haven't checked to see if other sizes have this problem.
- That OGG file that was showing up with the 8.3 filename is showing correctly now. It still stutters slightly when played, but not nearly as bad as before.
- OGG sound quality seems to have improved. The interface lags a bit, but there's not much reason to be using it while a song is playing anyway. (Just hit pause if you need to do something. <_<)
- Clipboard = awesome. The implementation is a bit strange (wouldn't separate cut/copy/paste buttons make more sense?), but not bad. It's a bit confusing though that the move/select button shows the current state, not the state that you'll activate by poking it.
- When I opened the Homebrew Database it immediately said there were no entries. Hitting refresh, it froze up at Getting MOTD. This is a DS Lite, 001656 range MAC address. Similarly, the web browser never gets past associating, although the system isn't frozen; I can still exit. The AP it should be connecting to (#1 in the firmware) uses WEP128. [edit: same problem on the V1 Phat.]

No, it doesn't. You are pressing save for the entire config screen, just like I told picklesworth earlier. Use L/R to navigate out of a setting that uses fullscreen.

I just fixed this, as I realized it was a bug in libfb's sprite display.

There is NO room for extra cut/copy/paste buttons, and there certainly isn't any on any PC platform, so why is using standard PC shortcuts confusing? Also, INS/OVR works the same way, showing your current status, and noone's ever stated that it's confusing.

Sounds like it wasn't configured properly. Works fine here with WEP, two DS's. Have you tried looking at the wifi troubleshooting on my wiki?

Because some of us don't come from a Windows platform. I learned on a Mac (though I've used Windows since mid-1999), which uses slightly different key bindings, but that's fine, as the biggest difference between the two is Ctrl vs. Cmd. Still, would it be hard to make space for an "Edit" button that brings up a list of commands that may include Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All, Show Clipboard, Find, Replace?

tepples the point is all computers have key bindings that do the copy/paste, not special buttons set aside that say copy/cut/paste on them. So why should DSOrganize? Space under the keyboard is already cramped enough, and I had to shorten strings on IRC to even make it fit.

I know this is kind of a lot to ask, but what about an update feature? You could have it check for updates in the HBDB and DSorganize itself every week or other time specified. I am not able to use my computer much anymore because I am traveling, so I just thought this would be good for people like me.

DSOrganize 3.0 works great. Not a whole lot of updates but it's definitely good. My favorite feature is that the music player doesn't randomly crash when I'm using a Games n' Music anymore :) and the new WiFi finder thing is pretty cool, now I don't have to carry MKDS around if I plan on using WiFi. I also like the tabs on the Configuration and the updated homebrew list in the Directory.
EDIT
Err....I spoke too soon....
Quote: | Fatal Error! DSOrganize has run out of memory. [oh no! 0_0]
Please email DragonMinded at shaun.taylor@gmail.com and let him know what you were trying to do when DSOrganize failed. |
I was listening to an mp3, I tapped the "Next Track" (R button icon, but I tapped it on screen) but it took me to the file list (wasn't on the last track though), then I hit A but it just blinked not played, then I hit B to go up, then when I tried going back into my AUDIO (music) folder, it crashed and gave the error. Nothing serious, but it did say to contact you. |
I can't duplicate this bug. I loaded my GnM with a few mp3's, set it to sequential, and tapped next until the cows came home, and it performed properly. I'm going to have to tally this up to a fluke.

That's the beauty of a touch screen, you don't have to stick to the standard keyboard layout.
It's not a problem, I just thought it looked like there was room for separate buttons, and the idea of using Ctrl seemed strange when I imagine those are the only 3 keys that are going to actually do anything.
DragonMinded wrote: |

Just taking a look now. I can't use a fixed IP without breaking everyone else's connection, and SSID broadcast is on. I'll try it again tomorrow, and switch it to channel 10 if it's still not working. It was fine with 2.9 though.

You can't check manually by opening the HBDB and sorting by date?

Well, no. Since control is there, I can add other keyboard functions that have no room on the gui otherwise, such as ctrl+b bookmarking the current page on browser in 3.0+.
EDIT: 3.01 just put out. Fixes a few annoying bugs and adds in wifi strength. Enjoy.

Out of curiosity DM, have you considered adding a reboot option to DSOrganize to return to the flashcart's firmware/OS menu? Either using Lick's rebootlib or by executing Moonshell's RESET.MSE executable? I ask because, as I said, DSO is so useful that I'm using it as the main application on my CycloDS Evo in place of Moonshell. Well, Team Cyclops' modified Moonshell has a custom RESET.MSE file as well for resetting back to the Evo's firmware menu. Being able to do that would be so useful. And I'm sure that other carts (like the R4) could do it too with the appropriate version of RESET.MSE. Moonlight even intended for other applications to make use of it:
RESET.TXT wrote: |
MoonShell execute plug-in
This plug-in is exclusive return to firmware function.
Reference URL that becomes base of reset function.
Most of reset.mse is a copy of LoveLite.
Lick + ds homebrew
http://licklick.wordpress.com/tag/lovelite/
For other homebrew developers.
'reset.mse' can be used from your self-made application.
Please make the C/D bank of VRAM accessible from ARM9.
example.
VRAM_C_CR = VRAM_ENABLE | _VRAM_CD_MAIN_BG_0x6000000;
VRAM_D_CR = VRAM_ENABLE | _VRAM_CD_MAIN_BG_0x6020000;
Please write the following values in 1024 bytes from 0x0603FC00. (16bit access is necessary.)
0x0603FC00 0x01
0x0603FC01 0x01
0x0603FC02 0x01
0x0603FC03 0x01
0x0603FC04 '?'
0x0603FC05 '?'

0x0603FC07 '?'
0x0603FC08 0x00
0x0603FC09 0x00
0x0603FC0A 0x00
0x0603FC0B 0x00
0x0603FC0C 0x00,0x00,0x00...
Please input the adaptor name (four characters) from 0x0603FC04 to 0x0603FC07.
Please fill zero from 0x0603FC0C to 0x0603FFFF.
Please start 'reset.mse'. (Please begin with usual NDS multi boot in a similar way.) |
Just thought I'd ask. Thanks for continuing to make DSO one of the most functional and polished homebrew apps out there!

I have the whole zip extracted to its own directory on my CF.
(5,598,154 bytes).
The resource file is 361,104 bytes, the exec_stub 48,576. (very small compared to the default, I note)
I have extracted it again, but no difference.
Do I need to remove older versions first? (they are in completely seperate directorys, but maybe it defaults to looking at those for the resource directory rather then the one its in?)

Great release! The new wifi config is excellent - in some ways even better than the ones Nintendo hands out for the commercial games using WFC. I like the fact you can see all the settings in one page without scrolling or anything.
Two small remarks:
- Could 'browser' be renamed to 'file browser'? Not using DSO regularly I always fail by going there first instead 'web browser'. :)
- It would be nice if the web browser showed scandinavian letters (?,?,?, same uppercase), currently they're all question marks.

I was using the exe stub linked here;
http://www.dragonminded.com/?loc=ndsdev/DSOrganize
" Custom exec_stub Files
GBAMP* "
Because that file is just 48,576kb when unzipped.
Is this wrong? :-/
(the default exec_stub is 97.5 KB and 352 KB indeed)

No. You are dead wrong, exec_stub has nothing to do with whether it boots or not. You are doing something wrong with directory extraction, as I've tested it on multiple cards here and noone else has this issue. Last person to complain about this formatted and reinstalled and then was about to tell me that it didn't work again when *surprise* it worked fine. Check your card and reinstall.

hmz...guess I'll try that.
Got about 3Gb of junk on my card now, so reformating is not my first choice these days :p
So the GBAMP exec is supposed to be 48,576kb ?
(and other installations of DSOs in different directorys on the wont effect it? and..hmz..err...I have no other dumb ideas).

In the past, I've deleted the whole "DSOrganize" folder and replaced it completely with that from the new version. I just have to make sure to backup any files I created and copy them back in. That works pretty well and avoids leaving any erroneous files that aren't overwritten.

Would it be worth mentioning that somehow the cache folder was corrupted during operation, or is that one of the "better luck next time" things that you don't care to hear about? If you don't want to hear about it, I don't want to bug you...

Its always possible something completely random happens, so I generaly try on another machine too.

Generaly speaking I keep my "current" DSO in the root.
New homebrew I extract to a /New directory keeping their own subdirectorys intact from there.
If they work fine (and its something Id want fast access too), Id then delete an old version and dump the new one on the root).

Well I think that's your problem right there. I think DSO only looks for the "DSOrganize" folder on the root of the card and under [root]\data\ while the DSOrganize.nds file can be anywhere. Most homebrew I've used doesn't work like Windows where it looks in the same directory as the *.nds for the subfolder. Rather it looks for the subfolders branching from the root of the card itself. So the new DSOrganize.nds is using the outdated and incompatible files from the older DSOrganize folder.

I always just overwrite everything in the DSOrganize folder with the new version. I have to go through an reconfigure everything to my liking, but at least my address book entries, scribble PNGs and desktop shortcuts remain intact without any extra bother.
I guess the worst that could happen is that there would be some old unused config files in there from an old version that I don't need anymore.
It'd be nice if it were possible to update to a new version without having to go through the whole config process over again, but I can't think of any easy way, so I guess it's not a big deal.

#141993 - Darkflame - Tue Oct 02, 2007 9:39 pm
I never like copying over something till I'm sure the new one works :p

Why can't you just copy it over without overwriting the config.ini? There's no reason you should be overwriting that with the default one.

Unless something gets changed or is added. I always play it safe between versions when I don't know how much/little has changed, so I just replace it all. It became SOP with me for Moonshell and carried over to DSO.

Uh, if there is a setting added it just loads the default, and when you go to edit it, it saves the new version anyhow. The whole POINT of having an ini configuration is so that it's compatible between versions.

That's not exactly true in most other applications, but I admire the fact that it's true for DSO. It's not their fault if the users haven't noticed/expected this "feature".

er, i've always done it too with dso, probably cuz with many other apps the config files change, like moonshell as mentioned before. now it's good to know i odn't need to do this with dso anymore.
#142033 - MechaBouncer - Wed Oct 03, 2007 3:13 pm
Agreed. I had no idea I could use the old file. I'll have to start doing that from now on. Thanks a lot for implementing that!

Yeah, that's pretty great. I had no idea you could continue using the old config file with a newer version of DSO.
You might want to mention that in the readme.

I shouldn't have to mention something like that in the readme. Since when do configuration settings not migrate when you install a new version? Every single program I have for my pc works that way.

I think that's because for other programs, there is an installation program, whereas for DSO the only "installation" is copying over a directory. And that directory happens to contain both program files and settings files (the INI).
When a new version of DSO comes out, I too just copy over the whole folder, and then reprogram my settings in the options menu (it's not a lot of work - kudos for a simple interface Dragonminded). It's actually more of a hassle to decompress, pinpoint the files that I don't want overwritten (should I search for a list in the Readme/website, or just open each file in a text editor and guess?), and then copy them over.
Might I suggest that you simply not include any configuration file in the release? If DSO is capable of generating the INI file and any missing entries anyway, might as well let it do that. Then people can do a "copy-install" very smoothly. Edit: additional advantage - nothing else to write or read in the Readme!

They don't. They just copy over and then whine here that their settings don't make it. ;P

Can't do that. What about the few devices out there that can't write to the card or who's DLDI is unstable enough that it causes write errors/corruption. Then they would want to have it on PC, or they would be unable to configure it at all.

Those people wouldn't be able to edit day planner items, contacts, to-do items, scribbles, or text files, or download files from Homebrew Database. So on a read-only card, what advantage would DSOrganize have over MoonShell,[1] which also plays video? Can DSOrganize's web browser work without being able to write to cache?
[1] MoonShell 1.6, because nsf and s3m playback in MoonShell 1.7x appear broken.

Well the fact that DSOrganize's s3m and nsf AREN'T broken, it does streaming audio, people state that it sounds better than moonshell, and includes other things such as IRC and a calculator that don't require writing means that it's still useful without writing. Besides, the interface is cleaner and more suited to the DS and it has better html rendering capabilities for ebooks.
Aside from all that, there still was demand for a read only DSOrganize, so for those that use it, there's obvious advantage.

Good point.
Here's something that should Just Work? on both read-only and read-write file systems: - Provide config.sample in the distribution.
- Load config.ini if present; otherwise, load config.sample.
- Save configuration to config.ini if writing is possible.

Config.sample IS the config.ini which is provided with the installation, including comments PER setting if you had looked. If config.ini isn't there, it has all the defaults set upon loading. It also DOES write back if possible.
Are you just saying this as a point, or are you actually unaware of DSOrganize doing this?

I only have a few files to test, but NSF playback appears to work fine for me in Moonshell 1.7. I haven't tried 1.71 yet.
#142164 - Darkflame - Fri Oct 05, 2007 4:19 pm
Got it working now.
Love the new settings interface, changing my wireless config is a godsend.
Too bad I'm now not near a wifi spot to try it all out, oh well.
Cut and paste works great, btw.
I like the fact it follows the pc standard.

Looks like the web browser doesn't handle links like <a href="?foo=bar">this</a> correctly. E.g. if this link occurs in www.foo.bar/somewhere.php, instead of taking you to www.foo.bar/somewhere.php?foo=bar, it takes you to www.foo.bar/?foo=bar. Also, does it not try to render images that have an alt attribute? Finally I noticed, like IE but unlike Firefox and from what I hear Opera, it doesn't handle <script src="foo" />; it keeps looking for a </script>. I'm not sure if it's IE's or Firefox's behaviour that's wrong here.
Regarding sound, I don't remember if I mentioned this already, but it stutters and lags badly with some OGG and SPC files, and although it's now extremely stable I did have one random crash playing an SPC. It repeated the sample a few times then went silent, ARM9 froze up shortly afterward.
[edit] Actually, it's not rendering the images even without the alt attribute. I've tried both GIF and PNG. They're quite small: [Images not permitted - Click here to view it], [Images not permitted - Click here to view it], [Images not permitted - Click here to view it], [Images not permitted - Click here to view it], [Images not permitted - Click here to view it], and those are the only images on the page, each occurring once. The largest of them (the first) is 228 bytes. (Yes, it's set to Extended With Images mode.)

Please provide actual sites with web browser bug reports. I can't count how many bug reports I get where I create test data only to find it works fine on my test site. Also, if the image doesn't have a width or height set, it will not attempt to render, as the wrapper needs to know before calculating how big the elements are.

#142201 - HyperHacker - Sat Oct 06, 2007 5:39 am
Eh, I would, but that page just so happens to be a rather powerful control panel. >_> Anyway it works now that I set the width and height. I notice images that are also links don't have a border like they do in other browsers (though personally I prefer it that way :-p).
The page that was having the script tag problem is here. I've changed it to <script src="foo"></script>, but if you make a copy and change that to <script src="foo" />, you'll see it only shows a blank page in DSO and IE6. I'm not sure if this behaviour is correct or not.
Still seems to be a FAT bug somewhere too. I created 3 todo files, and when I saved the third one, the first one disappeared entirely. No errors were found in the filesystem, the file was just completely gone. It hasn't done anything of the sort in a good while, though.

seems unlikely but for the wifi configuration - searching for APs - can you extend it to be able to record more wifi APs? currently it displays about 30 or so (can't remember).
i know it's kind of pointless, but i wanted to record all the AP's i found in a nearby road. as i was driving along (its a main road) i found hundreds of APs, some were named very funnily like "milf" and "banana". currently when it reaches the limited displays, they start getting overwritten.

From wifi_shared in the dswifi library:
Code: |
#define WIFI_MAX_AP 32 |
DSOrganize can handle infinite APs. The limit comes from dswifi. Each entry takes up memory, and 32 is already an awful lot of AP's to have when DSOrganize is trying desperately to have as much memory as possible. If you want to wardrive, you should probably use the wifi test app.

This might seem a bit weird, but how does the hbdb work? does it use an online file for the hb list? Im asking because this is currently my only way to get files onto my cart (linker not working), so, If I wanted to download calcprogrammer1's dsfile program through the hbdb, would I be able to do this without needing to edit any of the files on my card (like a text file or anything)?

You can set up your own hbdb or you can just create .pkg files that are scripts for downloading and launch in the browser. See my forums for information on that.

I wonder if it would be possible to add gapless audio playback to DSOrganize. This is more of a curiosity than a feature request, as the pause between tracks is already miniscule enough that I can't complain.
#142456 - DragonMinded - Tue Oct 09, 2007 9:21 am
It would be possible. However, it's far more work than it's worth.

Can DSO edit files whose names do not end in ".txt" or ".ini"? Can it create, rename, and delete files without making the file system inconsistent and losing directory entries? Have you fixed significant bugs in directory handling of your gba_nds_fat fork in the last few DSO versions?

tepples if you read the changelogs I put up on the site and the wiki, you would notice numerous bugs fixed to the fork of gba_nds_fat. It edits several formats, including txt, html, ini, cfg, xml, and a few that I forgot, most of them with syntax highlighting. Also, if you create a pkg or hbdb file, the alternate action is to edit.

And I would like to thank you very much for that addition. It was a big time saver to be able to use DSO to edit the snemul.cfg file for the latest SNEmulDS directly on my DS without having to remove the Evo, pry the card from the Evo (it's not spring-loaded and has a strong grip on the card), plug the card into my reader, plug the reader into the PC, browse to the file, edit it, safely remove the card reader, plug the card back into my Evo, put the Evo back into the DS, and run it again. In fact, right after I finished editing the file, I just browsed to the SNEmulDS.nds file and launched it directly. It all worked like a charm. It took me more time to write about it than to do it. :P

For the xth root of y, type in y^(1/x). I just tested these: - 225^(1/2) gives 15, the square root of 225
- 125^(1/3) gives what appears to be a decimal approximation of 5, the cube root of 125
- 2^(1/12) gives the approximate 12th root of 2, a number familiar to anybody who has implemented equal temperament, which is part of virtually all music playback engines at some level

DM, thank you for 3.01. Based on the previous discussion from a few pages ago, I have a few more suggestions about fine-tuning the text editor:
DragonMinded wrote: |
tepples the point is all computers have key bindings that do the copy/paste, not special buttons set aside that say copy/cut/paste on them. So why should DSOrganize? Space under the keyboard is already cramped enough, and I had to shorten strings on IRC to even make it fit. |
In this case, the "move/select" button looks a bit redundant. If I press Shift+arrow within this text box, the text between where the insertion point was and where it is becomes selected.
HyperHacker wrote: |
That's the beauty of a touch screen, you don't have to stick to the standard keyboard layout. |
Pressing Start hides the QWERTY keyboard and brings up the other keyboard. Likewise, pressing Ctrl could hide the QWERTY keyboard and bring up the Edit menu.
DragonMinded wrote: |
Since control is there, I can add other keyboard functions that have no room on the gui otherwise, such as ctrl+b bookmarking the current page on browser in 3.0+. |
The Shift key replaces lowercase key caps with uppercase key caps. Would it be possible to have the Ctrl key replace lowercase key caps with icons that represent what each Ctrl function does?

Love this homebrew.
the best ive ever put on my ds.
by chance when i "upgrade" my version of dsorganize
do i need to take all the files off of the ds. then reenter all my information and skins.
or can i simply just change out the .nds dsorganize.
?????
im downloading 3.01 now and about to put it on.
guess ill read all the read mes if there is one addressign that question.

Wait, are you suggesting the Move/Select button be replaced with using Shift+Arrows to select? Because that would really suck on a touchscreen. You'd have to poke Shift, arrow, Shift, arrow, Shift, arrow... the existing system is a lot better. I only suggested separate cut/copy/paste buttons because I forgot about some of the other buttons and figured that space could be used better.
BTW, I found a small bug in the text editor. I'm using the fixed-width font if it matters. When I'm typing, if the cursor goes off the bottom of the screen, it doesn't scroll down; I have to press Down on the D-pad. (Also, again, just having a Cancel button that doesn't prompt to save is aaaarrrrgggghhhh, especially since the touchscreen code isn't 100% accurate.)
It also seems when I paste something, the clipboard gets cleared. O_o
Also in the web browser, you can edit multi-line text boxes, but I don't see any way to insert a line break. If there's already a line break in the box, it glitches up a bit; you have to scroll through an entire box-full of spaces and then you see the line-break character and the next line. Would it be difficult to make it use the text editor interface for multi-line boxes?
One other thing, occasionally when I open the web browser it doesn't even try to connect to an AP, just immediately says "Failed to connect." It does this maybe half the time if I open the web browser, close it, and open it again, and on rare occasions the first time I open it. It's not a real problem though since if I just close it and open it again it will work the second time.

In the interface I envision, I first touch "Shift". I press arrow, arrow, arrow, arrow, arrow, and the shift key stays turned on. Then I touch Ctrl to bring up the toolbar-style keycaps and finally touch the X key (which now has scissor handles on the X) to cut the text.

Tepples, the keyboard is fully customizable/mappable. If you want keys that aren't there, feel free to change it around.
Hyperhacker, the clipboard does not clear when you paste. I don't know what you are doing but not only is there no code to clear on paste, but I've tested it pasting multiple times.
Inserting a linebreak is done by pressing enter...Making it multi-line aware inside the editbox on the browser would be extremely difficult. Besides, it should be fine the way it is now.
The AP thing is due to your router or weak signal. I've never had it fail connecting to my AP here.
I haven't looked into the fixed width scrolling bug, but I already know why it does it.

#143680 - Dood77 - Thu Oct 25, 2007 6:56 am
Tepples, if you get around to changing up the keys, post it up, I might be interested in what you're suggesting. Would your vision of the keyboard selecting include holding control to arrow between words, therefore holding select and control to select words at a time?
What would be nice in the way of selecting, is just touching and dragging. Currently, I have to touch move to start selecting (I admit the text on the buttons confused me at first; I guess I'm accustomed to the buttons performing the action thats displayed on them.) and then touch where I want to select, which, in the case of URLs, is often times way past the end of the visible text box. Then that makes me have to use the arrow buttons to finish selecting the end of the URL. Maybe a "copy URL" button would work?
Dragging to select would be really nice in the text editor, you could swap the screens and select what you want, maybe even hold a button and drag selected text to move blocks of text around... Yeah I know, we're getting past the functionality of notepad here.
Oh the woes of GUI on a tiny touch-screen...
Whats that? Make your own plugin you say? You'll be happy to know I'm currently learning C, (or so I'd like to hope) but sad to know I haven't attempted any DS programming yet.
Oh, and HyperHacker, I have the flakiest of routers, and DSO never goes straight to " failed to connect". If it's not going to connect it gets stuck at "associating..."

Animal Crossing does this by restricting the keyboard to the bottom half of the touch screen and extending the editable text area to the top half.

Swapping screens to be able to select text sounds cool, but drag and drop? Can you not just cut and paste?

Yeah, that's what it does for me when there's no signal.
I just tried again and the clipboard clearing isn't consistent. What I did was open a file, copy a line, paste, copy another, paste twice, copy a third line, and now Ctrl+V and Ctrl+C aren't doing anything (they respond, but nothing gets pasted).

I resized the keyboard to make it bigger three times, having to recode everything each time. Now after all the "it's not big enough I keep missing" crap, you want it to go back to original size?!

I feel your pain, but is there anything keeping the keyboard size from being a compile-time or even run-time option?
Also, I think much of the "it's not big enough I keep missing" problem was caused by old, suboptimal ARM7 touch code that reflected the homebrew community's lack of understanding of the details of the touch screen's timing requirements back then. Animal Crossing seems to have no problem with slightly smaller keys, but that's because it uses official ARM7 touch code.
Edit: Now you can compare keyboard sizes between DSO 3.01 and four official DS programs.

Is the old code still in there, and up-to-date? I can't imagine why it would be.
I don't see where anyone's mentioned making it smaller, though. There was mention of being able to bring the text box to the bottom screen to select text, and of being able to move word-at-a-time by holding Ctrl and using the D-pad, and select word-at-a-time by holding Ctrl+Select. None of those would require any changes to the keyboard layout, save for maybe a button that brings the textbox to the bottom screen. (Hm, B could do that, and Start could be Cancel like B is now.) There's no need to do like AC does with the textbox and keyboard both on the bottom. Just swap between text on top, keyboard on bottom and nothing on top, text on bottom.

Keep it big, cause bigger is better ! It's easier to hit the keys that way.
#144078 - Dood77 - Sun Oct 28, 2007 11:35 pm
Those images made me realize how much faster I can type things on official Nintendo keyboards than DSO. I think it's because of the older DevKitARM revision, and because we are using homebrew'd code here; I have to touch harder and watch to see whether my input was recieved.
On this note, lots of input functions in DSO seem to be kinda slow, they can especially be a pain in the browser, since I can click on a link and not know if I hit it, or hit hard enough, so I wait to see the text turn purple and the gray progress bar start going at the bottom. Overall in DSO I would be really nice, DM, to have the program notify you instantly whether it received the input or not, like having depressible buttons or something of that nature when you touch something. Now I know the 'instant' thing may not be possible, but thats what I'm getting at here; I'm not asking for an entire reworking of the GUI in the next release, but I feel it would really help the usability of the interface in the future.
Also another small suggestion I've always wanted, and I hope you can do for a release in the near future, is the ability to move the user shortcuts to the front page of the icons, and the DSO proprietary icons amongst them. Basically make the user shortcuts exactly like the DSO icons.

When you're talking about those Icons on the front page, I think it would be good to have unlimited Icons on the Main Pages (via arrows).
The keyboard is good (type-way I mean), but the link clicking in the browser and the grey progressbar (which is barely seeable) should be altered a bit to make the whole more useable.
Anyway, any updates we can look forward to in some months ?

Maybe a simple sprite (like a black dot) that shows up at the place that the screen is touched. It can show up for half a second then disappear again, just as visual feedback that the input was accepted.

It jumps to 50% very specifically to show that the site has been reached, hence the first half of the process is done. If I don't do that, then there's no visibility that a site who doesn't return the size of a file has been reached.

#144465 - Tets - Fri Nov 02, 2007 4:47 am
Woo, I love the new features. But I have a question about streaming internet audio. I recently became aware of this playback feature in DSOrganize, so I've been trying out a few of my favorite internet radio stations. They play well enough until the buffer inevitably drops to 0%, which happens usually between 30 seconds to a minute after starting, even if my connection isn't under a particularly heavy load. I talked to some of my friends and they all experience the same thing.
It's not a huge inconvenience, as I can listen to music at my PC just as well as my DS, but I'd like to know what is the most likely cause and if it's possible that it could be fixed. If it helps, I'm running DSOrganize on a fat DS from the original launch.

I'm getting this problem too...the version before this one worked fine, it seems like just the browser that is giving me an issue, the web radio feature works as normal. I know it's not the DLDI or my memory card (and the power of my router is turned up, and I'm right next to it)...I reformatted my card and neither DLDI driver makes any difference. It seems like everything else works, just the webbrowser isn't quite working for me.
It did load Google once, but it's not working for some reason.

The web browser was working fine for me although it took a bit longer than usual to connect. Here's some bugs, though:
- Loading this image freezes it right up. Moonshell also freezes, saying "PNG DecodeCache: out of memory" several times and then "safefree Request NullPointer". Firefox and XP's Picture and Fax Viewer have no trouble with it.
- http://jul.rustedmagick.com/board is broken. The content appears for a second, then all that's shown is the view count and Register and Log In links.
Also, I played an OGG file and about a half-second of it partway through sounded noticeably distorted, as if the pitch were off. Should I send you a copy and point out whereabouts it happens?

Sound freeze is still not quite fixed, it crashed after about 20 minutes on an OGG file. This file seems to use up a lot of CPU power as when I played it again it slowed down a bit at parts, and LMP stutters playing it. When it crashed I was able to exit back to the file browser, then only the Select button would respond. O_o

I've been a big fan of DSO sor so long. But I've always had trouble with my SC(micro-sd). The wiki specifies that YMMV with this cart.
Right now anytime I make a download, or rename a file, or use the browser? (or anything that writes to the microSD card) I get problems such as:
When I turn off and turn the DS back on, certain files have the wrong filename. like dslinux.nds becomes tombraider.nds. Since I downloaded the demo from the homebrew db from DSO.
Or I tried downloading from the DSO Web browser. It didn't seem to save the file. Even though it gave me a positive message when it got to 100%.
So Im a bit fed up with these bugs. My question is, are all flashcart having this writing to FAT problem?
What is the best cart to use DSO with the less glitches possible?

Sounds like a gba_nds_fat bug. When did you last run chkdsk on your memory card? And what version of DSO are you running? (Press Start at the home screen.) Newer versions of DSO contain fixes in gba_nds_fat.

It's not a gba_nds_fat bug, or it would be the same on all cards. The cards I use download, rename, and delete fine, with no corruption. The very reason it says YMMV for that card is that, well YMMV, the driver isn't good.

Who's to say it doesn't happen on all cards, but only in a certain unusual condition? Like how I found a bug in a Windows app of mine the other day that would only trigger if the system had been on for about 12 days straight.

Sorry for not giving more info on my previous post.
I've had this problem occur since 2.8 up to 3.05 (those are the only version's I've tried on the SClite anyways). I've made it a habit of formatting my microSD card anytime I want to install a new version of DSO. I tried both with a 1Gb PNY microSD card (SD-C01G Japan) and a 512Mb Kingston microSD card.
This is how I proceed. (I use linux by the way)
mkdosfs -F16 /dev/sda1
sometimes I use my wife's computer to try windows's XP own formatting tool
Then I prepare DSOrganize this way:
-patch DSOrganize.nds with sclt.dldi (provided on chishm's website dated: 2007-01-19 made by brisssou)
-I then use ratx's SuperCard Magic Homebrew Patcher v0.21 on DSOrganize.nds, making sure to delete the DSOrganize.sc.nds that comes with DSOrganize so there won't be an overwriting problem (since I would have Dragonminded's own NDSOrganize.sc.nds in the same folder)
-I transfer both the DSOrganize folder and the DSOrganize.sc.nds file created by the ratx's patcher program to my microSD card.
-And that's when any writing to the flashcart, whether it be renaming a file, using the browser, or downloading a demo from the homebrew DB, causes corruption to the microSD card.
I've tried many variations of DLDI patching, and ratx's patcher on DSOrganize before. But this detailed procedure above, is the only one that let's me use FAT writing. The default DSOrganize.sc.nds that is provided by Dragonmided does not write to the microSD. It only reads.
And if I don't use ratx's patcher, DSOrganize would only display an eternal black screen.
Actually let me go test all the different variations again and give a detailed tables of what happens if I mix some of these steps:
patch with DLDI / Don't patch with DLDI (with brissou's version and moonlight's version)
use DSOrganize.nds / use DSOrganize.sc.nds
patch with ratx's patcher / don't patch with ratx's patcher
#144748 - pas - Tue Nov 06, 2007 4:45 pm
Seems to be a DLDI wise problem (the driver is poorly written) check his wiki.
#144749 - h0t1ce - Tue Nov 06, 2007 5:10 pm
So here is the results of my tests. I put the only two positive results at the end with more description.
Results index:
Result #1: White screens
Result #2: The following error shows up: You are not using a card that is compatible with Chishm's FAT library. Please make sure you have properly DLDI patched DSOrganize!
Result #3: the top screen show's the DSOrganize white banner, with blue background. bottom screen is black. Nothing happens, no text whatsoever.
Result #4: the top screen has the DSOrganize banner with dancing cow. Bottom screen displays: "Initializing DSOrganize Trying Patched Driver...:" Nothing else happens.
with the "DSOrganize.sc.nds" file
DLDI patched: no, ratx'ified: no - Result #2
DLDI patched: no, ratx'ified: yes - Result #2
DLDI patched: brisssou's SCLT.DLDI, ratx'ified: no - Result #3
DLDI patched: brisssou's SCLT.DLDI, ratx'ified: yes - Result #3
DLDI patched: moonlight's SCSD_MOON.DLDI, ratx'ified: no - Result #4
DLDI patched: moonlight's SCSD_MOON.DLDI, ratx'ified: yes - Result #4
with the "DSOrganize.nds" file
DLDI patched: no, ratx'ified: no - Result #1
DLDI patched: no, ratx'ified: yes - Result #2
DLDI patched: brisssou's SCLT.DLDI (2007-01-19), ratx'ified: no - Result #1
DLDI patched: moonlight's SCSD_MOON.DLDI (2007-02-14), ratx'ified: no - Result #1
So these two are the ones that gave me somewhat positive results:
DLDI patched: moonlight's SCSD_MOON.DLDI (2007-02-14), ratx'ified: yes
DSOrganize works. But any writing to the microSD doesn't. Downloading homebrew goes through with the download, but nothing shows up on the microSD card. If I try browsing, it associated succesfully. But trying to go on any server results in the following error: The server sent an incomplete reply back. This can usually be fixed by simply refreshing the page. This can also be caused by file corruption or a bad DLDI driver. True enough, if I use DSOrganize to browse to it's CACHE directory. I get many files with odd symbols and "start" images or what not.
DLDI patched: brisssou's SCLT.DLDI (2007-01-19), ratx'ified: yes
Works very well. I can save to-do lists, drawing, download homebrew, browse the web. I cannot however create new files in the root directory. only new directories work. But after 2 minutes of browsing. I go to my favorites, I double tap Google and it freezes. I turn off my DS. Turn it back on. Open DSOrganize, go to the web browser. It associates right away. But then any website I go to gives the following error: The server sent an incomplete reply back. This can usually be fixed by simply refreshing the page. This can also be caused by file corruption or a bad DLDI driver. So far even if the web browser doesn't work. I can still download from the homebrew DB and open homebrew games without any problems. I can still save drawing and to-dos, etc. Renaming doesn't seem to corrupt the card.
I think Dragonminded is right in saying that the DLDI patch for this flashcart is bad. Or the rumors about the SClite not having the same hardware from one to another might also be what makes the drivers work good for some, and not for others.

So let me go back to my original question since it would be impossible for me to improve on the DLDI patch for my flashcart...
What is the best slot-1 or slot-2 (that fits perfectly on a DS lite) that are known to work well with DSOrganize?
*I think I should have started my own thread right? sorry for the thread hi-jacking Dragonminded. Didn't want to be rude
#144763 - HyperHacker - Tue Nov 06, 2007 8:26 pm
Do other programs work? Your card could be toast.

I don't really use any other program that writes to the card. Most other programs I use just reads from it. And the ones that read are working just fine.
LMP-ng is working fine. I use it daily to listen to music.
Would it help if I tried using another program that tries to write to the card to determine if my card is scrap? When you say card, you do mean the SClite cart? and not the microSD card, right?
Because I write to it with my PC once in a while to add or remove music from my microSD card and that works fine.

I'm testing the browser in various scenarios that caused it to fail (currently in DSO).

It works great, but I do have one problem. The homebrew bootloader isn't working right now either; the MightyMax loader used to work fine for me until I upgraded. I tried downgrading, no luck still.
EDIT: Forgot the important part. Using an R4 with the latest firmware.

I got a quick question about DSOrganize that i cant find anywhere.
Im a big fan of the program, but im wondering is there an option to let the DSOrganize turn off the screen after a minute of inactivity? Currently i have resorted to using moonshell to play my music, because i can keep the DS open(using the DS speakers) and it will turn the screen off when the music is playing. The power light also flashes like when u close the DS during a game. It will be great if the DSOrganize can do the same!
thanks!
#145048 - dantheman - Sun Nov 11, 2007 1:03 am
rexii, if your homebrew device is supported by Lick's "Lovelite" program, you can use that to disable the backlight, return to your cart's menu, and launch DSO, which will honor the brightness settings.

Removed plugin architecture and resources file. Were causing too much trouble with no real benefit. |
So does this mean no more plugins?
Is there some way to embed files within the DSO binary? I could still WMB it to my DS and listen to streaming radio, except I'd have nowhere to put the playlist. V_v

I can't seem to get DSO 3.1's scribble pad to work on my R4 or my GBAMP. Browser works fine on both. But when I draw on the image with pencil, the touch screen stays white. When I try to use the line, rectangle, or ellipse tool, the touch screen turns black until I release the pen.

:(
I know they were underused by creators, but I still think this is a very bad move. Personaly, I was currently using the Genesis/SMS one quite a bit, but ignoreing that it seems quite a backstep just to gain some space.
I understand why you did it, but I'm still very sad.
As for image viewer/orintation, neat feature but not sure how much Id use it.

I, as a writer of tiny apps, don't understand why no one even tried to take the tiny source of the tiny apps and convert it to a DSO Plugin. Also, the tiny apps were written BEFORE DSO Plugins were, so there was no "trying that first".
Anyway, I think the DS homebrew developing croud is too small for plug-in architectures. Everyone's just busy with their own stuff.

But I think purhapes a DSO plugin premotional campagn might have been an idea.
Personaly, I thought it was a good way to get started in DS programing.

a) Not sure Id call your app tiny :p
b) "the" tiny apps? I wasnt talking about anything specificaly, but a lot has been made post DSOPE that could have been plugins.
I'm not blaming the creators, or saying they all should have been. I'm just wondering how many actualy considered it.

Indeed we were doing that before, which is why I thought "yay! progress!" when you made it :p
But your right, the initiative wasnt picked up.
I partly blame myself. I didnt have time to do anything impressive, but I could have done a few small things and made a nice website/guide for them.

For starters, I did have a promotional campaign. See http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=12151. As you can see, everyone was all excited, but no one actually did anything. All that ever happened with plugins, is people would join my irc channel and whine that there weren't enough. I would get suggestions saying "your program needs more plugins." Every time someone asked for something I didn't want to do, I said to write a plugin, and then three people would ask me to do it. Then people who had no programming experience whatsoever would download the sdk with the intention of making something and then bug me for hours on how to program.
I thought it'd be a good way to get started on the NDS too, but no one could care less. They all wanted to do it their way. By the way, the whole "things were made before DSO" argument doesn't hold. Both the genesis and wonderswan plugins took me mere hours to convert from a .nds to a .dsp to demo to you guys.
The whole point of plugins and executables was to give people an easy way to add on and "help" DSOrganize, like people had been bugging me to let them forever. But it turns out they don't actually want that. They just wanted to do something easy to get their name on the project. None of this after the fact crap is going to help any. If you guys had actually wanted the plugin system, you'd have written something in the 11 months that it was out without me begging for you to do so.

#145243 - XThe-R-ManX - Tue Nov 13, 2007 1:26 am
ok i havent tried it yet.
but it worked for me last time i did just filled up memory really fast.
can anyone log into a site.
say aol or myspace for example.
i got into myspace on my home page but i tried to check my mail and it gave me errors saying it ran outta memory and to contact DM
anyways.
all i did really was just make a folder named cookies. and chache just the basic of what you would need to log into a site from your computer.
but is there a better way that somones figured out.
even if its not DSO id love to hear it.
but i would prefer to use DSO to do it.
Anyways.
Love the app DM
and the plugin feature wasnt being used that much.
* i still have 3.01 becuase im using some plugins* *batt indicator mainly*
and when i used 3.05 i got some error message when it 1st started up.
was when you 1st released the newer verson.

what do you mean you made a folder called cookies??? O_o
btw, i don't mean to be hostile, i'm just confused and bewildered.
#145343 - Darkflame - Wed Nov 14, 2007 10:05 am
Of all the plugins to actualy be used the battery meter O_o
I wasnt upgradeing myself, due to still playing over a few Sega games.
Allthough I might do when the presure of having better internet support takes over. (currently dont have a working wireless router).
I didnt actualy mean you have a campaign, I think the community should have.
(eg a sticky at the top with a "How to get started in DS programing with DSO!" or something). You did enough work createing the system.
A lot of these games written for contests could have been DSO based too, thinking about it.
As for IRC, give up.
I think people drop a few IQ points when going on IRC networks for some reason.
I'm not sure quite why, but it seems to breed arrogance and stress.
The slower pace of forums tends to let rationality win out at least slightly more often.

Hi. Anybody else get file corruption when trying to edit or copy a file via the browser? I'm using FAT32 on an R4 DS. I think it worked fine with the pre 3.1 vers.
#145375 - h0t1ce - Wed Nov 14, 2007 4:25 pm
I also get file corruption with both my SCSD and SCLite everytime I open the webbrowser. Instead of showing the actual webpage, it often opens some DSO spanish instructions from the SD card. But it's always corrupted. And when I put the SD card in my PC it says the card needs to be fixed. It then created a found.001 folder.
It seems there is another person on the DCEmu forums that have the same corruption issue with the webbrowser.
Although my test results aren't very reliable it seems, since I always get corruption with my SClite. Although with the latest version it's now always corrupting on the first usage of the webbrowser. The earlier versions would corrupt after a few tries only.
#145377 - GoopyMonkey - Wed Nov 14, 2007 4:45 pm
Once again, great work DM!
On the Configuration screen, the picture orientation tab seems to have the same description as the Browser tab, and the web browser image support seems to be breaking quite a few pages for me. When it loads a page with lots of images, instead of trying to load all of them as normal, it seems to get rid of half the page (text and all) once it reaches a certain image. Also, some images which load are corrupted, with random blurry bits in them.
I see the booting issues I had with some homebrew are fixed for me. =)

Never. Check the wiki for features that are requested or not happening. I'm tired of telling people no for the same thing. By the way, writing a plugin system was not an "excuse" for being lazy or not doing something. It was a way for others to add on where I am not willing. It's quite apparent from your comment that the whole point of plugins was lost on you.

Having a way for others to add on where you are not willing is indeed an excuse for not doing something and it is now an excuse you will no longer have, so prepare to get even more tired of telling people no for the same thing.
Meanwhile, I'll prepare to get even more tired of hearing you bitch endlessly about how often you have to tell people no for the same thing.

Then don't read this thread. You came in here, basically implying that I only put in the plugin system as an excuse not to do shit for you, then almost demanding that I do something else for you. I'd hardly agree that one post is bitching endlessly. I never once asked you to listen to me. I didn't ask you to use my program. I didn't ask you to read my threads or my blog. If you don't like what I am saying, then don't read it. I hardly need ANOTHER person who thinks it's their business to police me on how much or how little I am doing something.
My point on the plugins is that people don't want to add on to DSOrganize. They want me to add the features they want. This was proven by the fact that for almost a year, a perfect system for adding on was implemented, and no one bothered with it. The only people that mentioned it were the ones that wanted ME to write the plugins. If I'm going to write everything for them anyway, why even have an architecture? It completely defeats the purpose.

Most common image formats are stored in a fashion that if they're downloaded slowly, you'll see a very blurry version of the image, followed by increasingly sharper images until the entire thing is there. It's nicer than seeing the scanlines appear one at a time, since you can generally make out the content sooner. These corrupt images may just not have finished loading.

Was it perfect? How long was it before the ability to add items to the home screen (like the battery meter) was implemented? I remember coming up with a few ideas that would have required that, but as best I know the option didn't exist at the time.

Might it have had something to do with the different bugs in different FAT libraries? If you use raw .nds, you get libfat. But if you use dsp/dse, you get some version of gba_nds_fat, and a lot of gba_nds_fat bugs weren't fixed until 3.x series when you were about to discontinue plug-ins.

Possibly, but did anyone complain?
I remember I did ask once about a 24-clock plugin I wanted to make, but someone took that project over from me as a normal nds. (good result too)

It completely defeats the purpose. |
I *think* Sweater Fish Deluxe isnt being quite so arrogant as he appears.
Purhapes its just me being too nice to people, but I think what he was trying to say was what other people would say, not what he himself was saying.
eg. He thinks that having a plugin system meant you could legitmately tell people "Write your own". (even though they didnt)
Without a plugin system, you cant say write your own, so they will nag you anyway.
At least, I think thats what he meant to say.
But I could be wrong, and he could be as arrogant as his phraseing looked like :p

Was it perfect? How long was it before the ability to add items to the home screen (like the battery meter) was implemented? I remember coming up with a few ideas that would have required that, but as best I know the option didn't exist at the time. |
What ideas did you have?
Just curious :)
(also, I dont think DM meants littarly perfect, only perfect in comparison to most other development options)

I definitely get file corruption when copying a file to another dir in the browser in 3.1. rolling back to 3.05 makes the prob go away. Using R4 FAT32
#145437 - pas - Thu Nov 15, 2007 1:51 pm
Guys stop bugging him ! He can do with DSO what he wants and when he wants. Stop saying that he has to implement what you want now just because he removed Plugins/Executables.
We should be happy, because having a more stable running DSO for "just" something that no-one used anyway is not a big loss.
and IF you want him to bring those back then go forth and write a UBER Plugin that works with DSO 3.05 so he can see that you want it back.
#145445 - MasterMan - Thu Nov 15, 2007 7:13 pm
I'm geting several FAT corruptions with 3.1 edititing/managing files or even WebBrowser can't render pages with corrupted cache files.
I'm using Superard CF with 1.84 firmware and it corrupts even if i take out the DLDI.SCP file, wich enables the autopatch.
Also, the "[start] home" text on a empty folder is out of place, over the "this folder is empty" text.
I'll repost it on the YoungMX bug report forum.

and the error.
Im using GnM
1gb and the original i think its 154mb card it cam with.
i didnt update
ALL
just the ones that were different. but ill go do that and see if i still get the error.
and what do you mean by including the folder. do you mean like the folder on the root menu or all the folders inside that main folder.
the cookies folder was like to store "Cookies" the things the sites download. and a cache folder. idk i had some peoples help me.
but i never delete stuff and i always make copies so lemme dig through the like 200 homebrew apps i have on my comp and try to find it for you.
then i can tell you what i mean.
but it didnt really work that well becuase i used my 1g with nothing on it exsept moonshell and i logged in to myspace then i tried to change page and it said it ran out of memory or what ever.
idk youd probably have to create somthing that will write the info to the ds's flash memory so when you turn it off it erases the cookies.
thous allowing you to log in and store cookies.
*i think*

I'd need to reboot the DS to choose another NDS standalone app instead of having them all in the next door icon ready to be used. Like closing the webbrowser to use the calculator and back to it in DSO, or exit IRC to see any link in the webbrowser (nice integration ATM).
Everythig with similar usage and interface, without the need to configure everything individualy.
It's a shame DSOE/Ps are gone, it should be a standard, like every little app coming in NDS, DS.GBA, SC.NDS and DSE/O in the zip.
#145515 - OSW - Sat Nov 17, 2007 1:01 am
sure, point taken
though Calculator, Webrowser, IRC etc aren't plugins, they are already built in.
DS takes 5 seconds to turn off and on again? Or even faster if the the homebrew supports soft reset - (supercard one homebrew soft reset works for dso too)
IMO i use DSO a bit more than most other homebrew applications, but that doesn't mean I want everything interlinked.

But they share the same advantages as plugins would. Having to reboot can be a real pain, especially depending what equipment you have. In my case I'd have to fish out the ARDS from my pocket, put it in, turn the system off and on again, go through the Nintendo logo and ARDS startup screen, and then if my GBAMP managed to start up, choose the program I want. Then when I'm done that, reboot again and wait for DSO to start again. Maybe for some people with nice fancy slot-1 cards and hacked firmware, this process is a bit faster, but it's not going to be as fast as hitting Start and poking an icon or two.
Also, by having to restart you lose the clipboard and captured URLs.
As for soft reset, last I checked DSO didn't have this. Those of us who don't use Supercard have to hard reboot. (Or write a plugin... <_<)

again, good points. lucky for me my equipment doesn't really limit me much.
yeah i know dso doesn't have reset support, it was a general statement for homebrew in general.
in all, i respect the decision, and it doesnt bother me either way.
Thanks dragonminded for your valuable continued development of dso.

Much easier to write, because DSO delt with a lot of the hard stuff for you.

I can't get this software to work with my M3 Perfect Lite. I have applied the correct DLDI patch to the archive and extracted the folder at the root of my card, but nothing works. When I launch it, I just get two black screens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (It is not my first experience with DS homebrew since I can play QuakeDS or SNEmulDS without any issue)
#148531 - pas - Sun Jan 06, 2008 9:49 pm
try to format your card and recheck if you did REALLY apply the M3 Perfect SD Card Patch cause the CF one will not work.
Formating, defragmenting and trying is the only thing I can suggest now (of course you have to backup your stuff you had on your card before except if you want lose it ;) )

#150269 - one of ten - Fri Feb 01, 2008 10:31 am
This is a neat program. Nice work.
DSO will run on a slot 2 M3 SD. Just like pas said, format, make sure the .nds and dsorgainze folder are in root (folder can be placed under data/ too) and launch the patched .nds with start.
In my experience however, some major features of this software are broken thanks to what I can only guess (kinda new to this) is flawed write support in the dldi driver. It seems to write small files fine, but the homebrew database for example, when downloading a file only a 0 byte file will be written. Moving/copying files in the browser appears to be broken as well, and I have had a few instances of corruption. Now this is while using the normal dldi driver by Chishm. When patched with the alt driver, files saved through the database are written correctly and apparently run fine, (except for scumm, fails to dl every time) but the file browser remains broken.
A little OT but, it's not just DSO I've been having problems with though. I've been desperately trying to get a ftp server to work correctly with my hardware, but again only small files and occasionally a 256k file can be written to the sd without a crash. Neither dsftp or combox will start when patched with the alt driver. If you can believe it, these are the very first 3 pieces of homebrew I've tried.. nothing but problems. It's odd that the dldi tester will pass all tests, and that's writing a 1M file, much larger than I've failed to write with any other program.
I haven't received any feedback from other m3perfectsd users to know if it's my card, formatting, adapter, etc. or something beyond my control as an end user and only a vague idea who to try to contact to resolve this.

Is it just me, or is anybody else having problems with shift keys in the text editor? Sometimes, when I tap Shift, Caps, Ins, Spl, Ctrl, or Move, it acts as if I had tapped twice: the button highlights and immediately unhighlights.
DS Lite, R4, DSOrganize 3.2
DS Lite, GBA Movie Player CF, DSOrganize 3.2
Browser > navigate to a .txt file > press Y to edit
type a letter
tap Shift (see it highlight and unhighlight)
tap Shift again (see it work normally)

This isn't the only problem DSO 3.2 has (I just say one word: guru-meditation error).
I switched back to the birthday release cause it is the best so far. If DM has already given up the why try to use the 3.2 version which was thrown out without any control ? I for myself can't understand it and maybe never will.
So this is the end now huh ? That it had to end this way...

I have a bug report. I haven't read through this whole thread, so sorry if it's a known issue.
I am using the file browser to launch .m3u files which play streaming audio on the internet. I close my ds and listen to it, but usually after a while the audio will drop out, and then if I open my ds back up, I will find that it has locked up, and I have to restart it. Sometimes this happens immediately upon closing the lid.

Apparently DragonMinded does not want contact from anyone at all, and so anyone entering the default DSorganize IRC channel is auto-banned. Go into the config settings and try a different IRC server/channel. There's hundreds out there.

Just a little note for anyone using an M3 DS Real (and possibly G6 Real)...
If you ever experience any 'weirdness' when launching DSO or any other homebrew from the cart's menu, try this...run DSOrganize, and then use it to re-run DSOrganize.nds...then you can launch the homebrew from DSO's file browser.
This clears up freezing problems I was getting in DSO 3.2 while moving around the file browser, fixes the touchscreen-being-unusably-offset problem that people have mentioned when using MoonShell on the M3DSR/G6R, and various wackiness in other programs.
It seems the M3DSR's menu is leaving some sort of garbage around, or else it launches homebrew in such a way that some programs don't like, but launching them from DSO has fixed any such broken behavior.
#151139 - MechaBouncer - Tue Feb 19, 2008 5:44 pm
I wonder if DSO is permanently patching them after it runs them? I know it has in the past, at least when I've used it on my CycloDS Evolution and using Chishm's loader. Files with no DLDI were permanently patched with the DLDI driver DSO had in memory upon being launched from DSO. Perhaps it does the same thing?

Hate to tell you this but I'm pretty sure DragonMinded stopped developing DSOrganize due to being pestered to much on IRC (but don't take my word for it, I just heard that from a friend of mine). I have also found a bug in DSO 3.2 webbrowser, that causes it to skip a bunch of lines randomly when scrolling down a page. I recommend staying with the birthday release, as it has worked perfectly with 0 errors so far for me.

Apparently it was a temporary issue: Google has removed the warning for this site, and it should clear up after caches empty.

As a relative new user I trawled through this posting - crikey it's like a history lesson.. and a few smiles from the links to the developers site too.
Now I know what DSO does, and it probably does more than I need - but I what I want to know is which version is the most stable for basic file manager operations - seems to be some references to the birthday release as the best, but I can't determine if this is subjective -- and more to the point, which was the birthday version.
And dare I even ask for fear of invoking wrath, but should I be using something other than DSO if all I need is file management.
Thanks to the developers - and boll_x to the whingers.. all this is for free - fantastic..

Now I know what DSO does, and it probably does more than I need - but I what I want to know is which version is the most stable for basic file manager operations - seems to be some references to the birthday release as the best, but I can't determine if this is subjective -- and more to the point, which was the birthday version. |
The Birthday Release is known as Build 3.1129: Download from DragonMinded.com

Hey, the DSOrganize site got flagged by Google as "visiting this web site may harm your computer!" Looks like a false positive. Might want to do something.
#155742 - nsm333 - Sat May 03, 2008 7:05 pm
nope. still infected.

Hey, would trying to view a 64 page text document be worth reporting as why my DSO crashed? its something for a class that I saved to my SD card to transfer to my computer, and I decided to take a look just for fun... not good. Memory full, fatal error, lol.
#155756 - yellowstar - Sat May 03, 2008 10:47 pm
How big is that file nb? The DS only has 4 MBytes... If it weren't for the above problem with the DSO website, I'd tell you to try an older version...

64 pages? not really possible. i think dso tries to render the whole thing at the same time. i can check...
#155770 - HyperHacker - Sun May 04, 2008 1:09 am
Yeah, big text files use up all the memory, it probably loads them all in at once for some reason.

ok, just so's you know, moonshell works with 48 pages. so, try that.
#157446 - Alphanoob - Sat May 24, 2008 5:45 pm
rofl, ok. I just noticed that simply changing the ending from pdf to txt doesn't let me read it as though it were text. I didn't know how wierd acrobat reader files were. In any case, I just had it on my card for storage to put on my computer later. I am here now with another question: What sort of videos can DSO view, and where can I find something to convert video files to the proper format?

DSOrganize does not play video because DragonMinded thinks the DS's screen is too small. Try MoonShell, using either dpgtools, BatchDPG, or SUPER ?.

If you can already run DS programs on your SLOT-2 SuperCard, you won't have to do anything different to run MoonShell, other than perhaps finding the appropriate 'dldi.scp' file.

They aren't weird, they contain formatting information, just like .ps, .doc, .rtf and other formatted text (document) files. If the file format it not human readable (some use xml for their format description), the formatting information is binary (as opposed to text.) :^)

What version? I remember a few file system bugs in the version of gba_nds_fat used in the 3.x series, but the vast majority were fixed by DSOrganize 3.0, and I haven't got any corruption from 3.1129 on my R4 (unless chkdsk is lying to me).

3.1129 is the birthday release it works fine on cycloDS also but latest 3.2 had new issues especially with the web browser ( it may work better with some cards ).
I've got some random write issues when moving files with both versions but 3.1129 is definitively better for me.
From http://www.dragonminded.com/dsorganize/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

These bugs have already been found, but no solution has been found for fixing them:
* Corruption after some file operations, mainly writes (possibly due to outdated gba_nds_fat)
* Non-working homebrew booting on some cards (try latest chishm bootloader) |
#160165 - Apache Thunder - Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:44 pm
I think thats the version I have.
Right now DSOrganize works great as a replacement OS for my Max Media Dock. After disabling auto-DLDI patching (since it seems to...not work) I am able to boot any homebrew with it and even boot homebrew that wouldn't boot in the normal Max Media app.
So far DSO hasn't corrupted anything, so I'm not worried about it.
lol DragenMinded thought the DS was too small for video? Well just look at the iPod. People are buying those up like crazy and the screens on those things are even smaller then the DS!

Forgive the silly question, but do I have to DLDI-Patch with an R4DS card? If so, how do I do it?
Sorry, I'm a complete noob.
EDIT- Its ok, I worked it out.
#160651 - tylergraham - Sat Jul 19, 2008 2:26 pm
I am new to this stuff for my DS. I have just figured out that I can use the Moonshell program on my DSTT chip to play movies.
I am now watching movies but need a few answers.
How do I fast forward, rewind and pause the movie in Moonshell ?
Is there some kind of software that I can upload onto to the Moonshell to help out the playing of movies?
Is this what the DSOrganize program does??
If not, is there something out there?
What does this DSOrganize program do for your DS?
Thanks in advance for the help.
#160901 - whatevas - Thu Jul 24, 2008 4:46 am
I'm so sick and tired of DSOrganize not reading over half my files because their names have chinese characters in them. And since 3.2's source code was released, I want to know if I can make at least the Browser portion of it support unicode (UTF8).
I know it's possible, since Moonshell reads UTF8 just fine.
So how would I go about adding unicode support? Any classes I should be looking into?
#161328 - luckyphill - Fri Aug 01, 2008 12:15 pm

The site doesn't encourage stealing; it encourages copyright infringement. I've obscured the domain anyway.
