DS homebrew announcements > DLDI GUI for Linux

#131921 - Sh4wn - Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:00 pm

I've also created a GUI for DLDI, but this time for the Linux people out here. :)

It is created with the intention to improve my C++ skills, and also just for the fun. :)
I've modified the original DLDI source pretty much, which is now a lot more object oriented. And I'm using the gtkmm UI library :)

Download
You can download it from the sourceforge site:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196301

I can't unzip RAR files in Ubuntu, is there a RAR extracting tool for Ubuntu?

RAR For Linux

#132221 - oofrab - Sun Jun 24, 2007 7:22 pm

About rar files in Ubuntu. Google is your friend. Really!

Try opening it with file-roller. Other packages to try are: unrar, unrar-free or p7zip-full. All of these support rar in one way or the other (unrar-free does not support the rar format 3.0 and greater). Pick one and install with
sudo aptitude install <packagename>

(You might need to enable the universe/multiverse repositories.)

Although most cards already have auto DLDI patching, I released an update of my little program :)

Changes:
- DBus Support, so now there can be only one instance of the program at the same time. The great thing about this is, that you can set dldi-linux-gui als your default application for .nds files, and then it will add the file to the list.
- small fixes
- makefiles

Why do people feel the need to use the rar format to upload their NDS programs? It requires proprietary software and, for the meagre space saving for most DS files, isn't worth the hassle for end users. What's wrong with zip? If people want to save space, maybe they should ditch the deprecated .ds.gba "format" and just ship normal nds files.

Is it because warez are distributed as rars that people think it's cool or something?

rar is generally smaller than zip, and 7z is not well known. In addition, the widely installed WinRAR will make rar unless you tell it not to.

That explains everything. It's got nothing to do with the advantages of one over the other, just another example of viral behaviour in the closed source software world.

p7zip deals nice with rar archives

Well, the new version isn't packed with rar anymore :P Just a .deb or a source .tar.gz :)
