Re: In-Progress Pichu Bros. patch (feedback requested)

Re: Multiboot for DITTO mini

WARNING - OLD VERSION WITH ISSUES! The latest is in the first post in this topic. OK, the timer reset problem is fixed instead of _int(0x0) one needs to use _int(0x2). Since it is a slight change I'll attach only the binary: bootloader.min The sleep mode crash is still a issue. I suspect the only so...

Re: How would development work.

I want to know if there was a guide to how to develop on Pokemon Mini or if there is an engine that can be easy to develop with. I am thinking of buying a Pokemon Mini with a DITTO Mini. Pokemon Mini is a console with 8-bit processor. Hence you can't expect engine similar to unreal and such. Beside...

Re: Multiboot for DITTO mini

I think you always need to remember the last started game to solve those powering on issues. As some games will keep their state when you power off and on again. Unfortunately that is probably not possible. The reason for this is that the power to the cart is cut once the power button is pressed, t...

Re: Multiboot for DITTO mini

I don't get it I quess... With the file 'bootloader.min' it should be possible to write more than one game on the DittoMini card?? But how do I have to do that? Do I have to use the program I use for writing games to the dittomini?? You need to use one of the above commands (depending on your OS), ...

Re: Multiboot for DITTO mini

Initial issues with freezing were solved for most part...

Many other features could be added too. Those that I'd like are: remembering the last started game and restart it by pressing "B", backup and restore saves, dumping the BIOS, transferring games between two consoled over IrDA...

Re: BIOS dumper for DITTO mini

A side note - it is an example how to calculate CRC32. It could be useful for other checks - consistency of a save data for instance. Second side note - too much writing to either Pokemon mini saves or flash cart itself is deteriorating their life. It is not so small - the flash specs say at least 1...

I decided on CRC32 as a check since it's more reliable than a simple checksum. However it needs 3-4 seconds to be calculated...
