Great news for a boring Sunday!
Thanks CraigT, will give a test with
the new version, as usual, will report
trouble if found! (By the way, 128K
support is on you plans?).
Cheers and thanks again.
Excellent Works !, I look at the screens
and I dribble !!!!
I Try this on my DS lite with G6 without hope that this Works !
…. and I always have the same problem, I run .ds.gba, and Freeze!
The problem for G6 lite, the company don’t give sources of fatlib.
There is can be a solution, if you can do something.
I hope that i will see a day your great works. I Support you at 100%.
Waiting next version …
Superb!
Saves states work a treat.
ds phat flashme 5
sc sd
many thanks for your hard work.
/runs off to play head over heels.
Looks marvellous. Another call for G6 support here! Any chance of a version that allows ROMs to be appended to the binary?
Just to let you know v0.2 is now working fine on my M3 SD, as is saving .z80 files back to the card.
Great release Craig… Just fantastic.
I’m impressed, looks really good.
Gotta find the time to try it out though…
I can’t believe I have a brand new Wii next to me and I still get excited for a new release of a Spectrum emulator….:)
Not had a chance to try it yet myself, but Z80 support makes my DS happy. I now have 12000 roms at my disposal:)
Thanks!
Incidentally, aside from 128k support (oh I hope so), do you plan to add save support at all?
Tested a bit last night trying to save
on my dslite with supercardlite and got
freezes, maybe had to wait more, but
waited at least a minute.. anybody that
got a succesful saving, how much time
does it take? does it save a full .z80 file?
Thanks.
SpeccyDS still does not function on ez4, a fatlib is available, on http://www.ezflash.com could you looked at, thank you
All those poor G6 owners … Unfortunately I’m also one of them, and I hope that this nice emulator will one day also run on the G6 Lite … Nice work anyway!
With 0.2 I was able to save full Z80 snapshots in less then a second on a Supercard SD v1.63!
Hey Yo!
Just to let you know that i think your emu is awesome, and it works flawlessly on my NDS setup:
NDS (PHAT) / Flashme v7
SuperCard SD v1.7
Puremedia 1GB SD
Many thanks
Regards

I said about saving when it already does… Whoops!
Tested it a lot last night. Ton of stuff didn’t work. Mostly demos, magazines etc… Of the games, inexplicably, Auf Monty, which worked just fine in SNA mode, died horribly in Z80 format?
Man, I’d forgotten how hard Manic Miner was:)
not working with my DS lite with Supercard Lite firmware 1.70
freezes on start up (shows keyboard screen but no top screen output).
is this a known issue?
I tested this out tonight. Outstanding work. The sound emulation seems spot on, the responsiveness of the user interface on the touch screen is great and this is the first release that works on my M3 Mini-SD version (tested loading .sna, .z80 and saving .z80). I love the file navigator.
I was so excited I got my digi-camera out, and photographed my DS-Lite running the Hobbit and email the pic to my spec-chums (who are also getting a bit long in the tooth like me).
128K emulation would be great(so I can play the bigger text adventures), but take a rest for now and pat yourself on the back for a job very well done. The DS has proven itself to be a dream portable-zx platform.
Yeah, I always suspected that the Speccy would feel great on the DS, but I was surprised just how wonderful it feels on it.
Like everyone else the sound seems pretty damn spot-on for me, with the only game that really sounds wrong being Heartland which screeches a bit. Long live this emulator!
I bought an M3 miniSD to play homebrew yet it seems to be not the brilliant buy I first thought it was as it constantly fails to load a lot of homebrew games and apps and it sucks the life out of my DS’s battery in just a few hours. What is the best option for playing this Spectrum emulator and other homebrew and is purchasable in the UK?
yadster: get a supercard from http://www.supercardstore.com
Screw the Supercard. I’ve got a regular CF M3, and pretty much everything works, and this emulator works great!
thanks for this..it works now with my supercard 1.70,and games are great when running..
one problem..the touch screen keyboard seems way off in places,like you have to press keys,under them/or to the side.
manic miner cant be run,as “ENTER” needs to be pressed,but it wont acknowledge it.
same with load(have to select it right in the top left corner of the screen) and controls,there positions are off too..apart from that..great release.excellent work..
Great to see that this works on my M3 MiniSD.
I have tried loads of games and the majority of them work really well. Very impressive indeed if this is your first emulator + DS project.
News!
G6 drivers have been released!
