It's not that bad, but it's stylistically lacking, and the fastest mode available is the same as Easy in Tetris Attack.

In SNEmulDS, the game actually runs quite nicely except for the fact that the cursor doesn't align properly.

Here's my lame request: Can even more hotkeys be mapped?

Samsho4 has too many button combinations AB ABC BC BCD BD AC CD.. there's not enough room! Right now I've got the start button mapped to ABC+coin, so every time I 'rage explosion' I get that coin sound effect

I was thinking that holding L and pressing another button would perform a different button combination than the one already mapped on the emulator.

But yeah in any case thanks much for your hard work, it's been quite literally the only DS game I've been playing this past month

Do you mean a patch to play on emulator? That wouldn't be necessary if the emulator has tilt support, as VBA does. Options > Joypad > Motion Configure...

Do you mean a patch to play on GBC hardware? By 2002, when the GBA homebrew scene started to take off, GBC flash carts were already next to impossible to find if I remember correctly. It was cheaper to buy the authentic game than to buy a Visoly GBA cart and a GB Bridge.

Is there something specifically wrong with Planet Puzzle League? Or is it as off as #0104 Tetris Worlds (vs. classic Tetris) and #2581 Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (vs. Sonic 1 in jEnesis)?

Panel de Pon matters most to me, as far as SNES emulation goes. I don't think even the PSP has that down yet.

I don't mind the long waits, as I have a PC (and a Wii) for emulating SNES games. If SNEmulDS eventually is able to play Tetris Attack properly (unlikely), then I'll care, but other than a few games like that, this emu is already playable for most of the games I care about that it can even run.

So Europe simply didn't get it because they get shafted all the time.

I'm actually surprised that no one has made a patch for it yet, especially since there are ones for Yoshi: Topsy-Turvy and WarioWare: Twisted!.

Yup, you're right. I thought it was one of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch
...because the game mechanics are much simpler than the later games like wario ware twisted.
(and there are rumors around forever that this game wasn't released in europe because of mercury restrictions, heh)

But according to this:
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2001_April_9/ai_72949563
"The game uses Analog Devices' ADXL202 motion sensor micromachining
technology", and the ADXL202 is mercury free.

Someone actually asked on wikipedia how that specific chip works.

The current version of Lameboy plays nearly all GBC games at 59-60 FPS, including Wario Land 2 & 3.

Yes but I intend to play through the whole wario land series and Wario land is merely the first game.

Handheld Support :: Xrom and Win XP sp3?

Subject: Xrom and Win XP sp3?
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:23 pm (GMT -5)

The situation: crashed hard drive resulting in a re-install of Windows XP that was upgraded to sp3 and now when trying to install the xrom, the comp freezes on installing the second driver.

I have tried the original ini file both automatic and manual install, the augmented ini that helped some get xp sp2 to recognize the xrom. Tried canceling the installation and manually trying to change the driver in device manager as I saw on another How to guide. Anyone had any similar experience, and did you find a work around?

current usbcable -u gives:

UCVER: v2.1, OS: XP, HW: ~1673MHz AMD 586 [x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 1]
List of fully and partially installed USB drivers:

Vendor/Product ID USB Device (* = Supported USB Linkers)

USB Linkers found:
XROM Cable (XRC) appears partially installed.

DONE: Pass

Xrom will install on windows 2k sp4, but it would be nice to not have to reboot if I want to mess with it.

I know I should have done this years ago instead of waiting until the DS had been entirely supplanted by the DS Lite, but oh well. I'm looking for something like this, or possibly this if someone explains to me what the hell it actually is; why does it have a charger cable coming out of it? Does it draw power from the DS for something? I'm totally lost here. Anyway, since these things have been replaced by these things, I have no idea where to look for one. I've tried Play-Asia, Deal Extreme and a couple of other electronics stores, but all I can find are DS Lite accessories. Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: By the way, I am in Australia, but I'm pretty much resigned to buying this from elsewhere, as long as the shipping is reasonable. Free shipping would obviously be a bonus.

Exactly, so why settle for a cheap mix malt whiskey now(as lameboy isn't worked on anymore and hasn't reached a solid 1.0 release), when you can have a fine single malt later.

Thank you. How do you check? Is there a tool? I don't have a idea to do this.

you can usally check the crc by opening the rarfile, but somtimes it can be wrong don't know why so i unrar it and zip the iso and check the iso crc in the zipfile just to make sure, it is an utility that can do this but i don't remember the name now.

by the way the first crc (1313) was probably from the non scene ARA-C release (nuked) and (1463) was a typo

Was it even necessary for me to test on both hardware?
