to use this skin, you need NOZ. you can get NOZ here (check first post)

okay, my first skin.
i called this No$GBA-4-DS
tried to mimic an NDSLite running a flashcart's firmware
i've design both normal and rotated view to bedifferent, since NOZ make it possible to start noz directly into rotated mode

Normal view :


Rotated view :


and oh, it's has transparancy, grass image outside skin is my desktop background *just incase someone curious and thought that it would look like that in your pc.

i've also made blank blue screen for anyone who wanna customize their own image

do not use this image, download the file instead in the other thread. since this image was optimized, so this image's magenta colour isn't pure magenta hence transparancy will fail

preview



okay, a new skin
i know i said i'm goning to make iPhone skin this time, but it seem that i'm still obsessed with No$GBA-4-DS lol. so i put iPhone aside for a while, and come up with this white version of No$GBA-4-DS with all of it's glamourous visual.
they say you can't find perfection, you must make one yourself. i id that on this one, instead looking for nintendo's product image (can't find any with high res and high quality, only got bunch of crap), white DSLite was build from scratch. every single pixel of it, giving it a much cleaner visual. since it 'home made' DSLite, it wuld also be easier to get 1.5-2x skin with the same quality, though i'm not encouraging 1.5x-2x skin size. since it's gonna eat up all your desktop space. i only got 1280*800 pixel LCD display, so 1.5x is the biggest size i've test so far.

just a little info if you wanna use bigger size. in skin mode, NOZ won't apply filtering, even though you activate filtering, therefor, bigger display size would give you poor quality on game display. not to mention that NOZ use BMP :| kinda dissapointing, since i can't implement alpha channel in it (corner get jaggy edge using bmp transparancy method - if this actually can be called transparancy-) and the file size, oh man.. spare me please. i've tried to make 1.5x and 2x skin, for 1.5x each image would weight roughly 2 Megabytes give you 4Megabytes total for a skin, it doubled on 2x skin, each file roughly about 3.8MB (total 8MB per skin) :| 24bit PNG would be a lot better in quality and size rather than 24bit BMP :|
ah man, but well, it's already good enaough

okay, 'nough said with all those ranting.
let's get on with teh skin

i present to you all, No$GBA-4-DS White edition.
crystal clear, elegant, White Nintendo DS Lite booting No$GBA-4-DS firmware, lol



for my next skin, i'm planning on iPhone and PSP, like my previous plan. gonna try to make it look like you were running NDS emulator on iPhone or PSP


download Tyo_No$GBA-4-DS_white.rar

infernape inspire me ^_^
so here goes...

btw, infernape skin only on normal position, for rotated, i use my old no$gba-4-ds skin

Hi, I'm new here, but I've noticed that it's hard to find a completed list of cheats for pec. The forum where this info use to be is down and has been for a while so I've noticed. So I was thinking that perhaps we could help each other get a completed list. We could post what we have and ask for what we need, a nice little community helping one another. I realize we could all do it ourselves, but if it is already completed by someone else, no need to waste time inputing the codes when we can simply cut and paste their info to our codelist. Well, think about it. Here is what I need for the rpg category. If you know of others that are not in the PEC release or not listed here, please inform me. From rpgs the skie the limit, I guess whatever you guys want to focus on. Let me know.

Items needed to help:
PecEdit (trust me, makes it a lot easier)
Ultra Edit (trust me, makes it a lot easier too )
Patience and a bit of free time
A love for Cheating!

Games Needed To Complete The RPG Category:
All Final Fantasies other than 7 and up (except V)
Legend of Legaia
Legend of Mana
Persona 2

Well, hopefully this will catch on and people will post their codelist.inf as well, I'd be happy .

Also, a completed .inf of a game is what we are trying to go for. What I mean is all the wildcards included. It's a bit more tedious, but once you get the hang of it, not that bad at all. The last one I added was Tactics Ogre and it took me right at 40 minutes to complete it, and it had a good many wildcards. At any rate, ANY CONTRIBUTION is welcome, so don't feel like you can't help or donate something to the project. If there are any questions, concerning .inf editing or whatever, feel free to post the question and hopefully me or someone can help. HAPPY CHEATING! .

COMPILED DATABASE OF ALL GAMES:
I added the names of people at the top of the .inf file who have helped with this project, as well as the games they worked on. I'll continue to update it every ten games or so.

Would have been nice if someone would have found this BEFORE I spent all that time!

After reading so much about the benefits I decided to lap my CPU.
Keep in mind this voids warranty.

Here's my CPU before. I just pulled it from my system in this pic. You can see from the uneven contact imprint in the arctic silver that the heat spread isn't very uniform.


Here's my CPU all cleaned up.


Here's the required materials.
-Sheet of glass or a mirror as a working surface
-Isopropyl alcohol
-Sandpaper in varying grains. In my case I had 400, 600, 1000, 1500, and 2000
-Cotton balls for cleaning afterwards
-Tape to secure everything


Here's the 400 grit sandpaper prepped on the sheet of glass.


I sanded in straight back and forth motions, not using too much or too little pressure. After 8 swipes or so I'd rotate the CPU 90 degrees. This is halfway though. You can see the nickel plating has worn off in some areas and not others. This shows how the heat spreader was not a uniform surface.


I keep sanding until the nickel is gone and only copper is showing on the surface


Next the 600 grain paper, same procedure


Next the 1000


I apologize, I missed the picture for 1500. However, for 1500 and 2000 I switched to gentle and consistent figure 8 motions on the paper, keeping even pressure on the cpu.

Here's the finished product after 2000 grain and cleaning:






I will post temp differences when the AS5 sets a little bit. But so far the difference is already very noticable.


Disclaimer: Don't do this. If you mess up your CPU I told you not to do this. There.

Hi i read some posts in the other compat thread about updating it and the topic starter not comming back. I will update this list when ever a new come come up and change game status's if they change.
Do not post any game that has small graphics bugs or any small and very low priority problems, the Dolphin emulator is not perfect

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 PAL: {reported by RazLaron}

Sound: Only some noises. I advise to enable Dual Core and maybe Idle Skipping.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Official Thread)

Current Issues

1. Only the PAL version works as of revision 2,655, not the NTSC version, the NTSC version still has the green DVD Error screen
2. The game often hangs after the intro video with the message 'GFX: Unknown Opcode (0x..)'. To get past that you'll just have to reboot the game.
3. The game seems to always hang or entirely crash Dolphin after a match when you try to go on to the next match. The same thing happens when you try to get out of a demo match (that is playing because the game was idle for a while after the title screen).

General Settings (PAL)

• Dual Core: Works
• Idle Skipping: Works
• Use EuRGB60 Mode (PAL6): Doesn't matter, both On and Off works
• Enable Progressive Scan: Both On and Off works, it has no noticeable effect on graphics or speed
• Optimize Quantizers: On works, there are no noticable problems with this optimization

OpenGL Settings (PAL)

• Disable EFB Copy: Yes, it gave me a 20% or 30% speed increase in the game (but I have a slow graphics card)
• EFB Copy to Texture or RAM: No noticeable graphical difference, perhaps a small speed difference
• ZTP bloom hack: No noticeable effect
• Use Safe texture cache: No noticeable effect

Sound Settings

• Enable HLE Audio: On
• Enable DTK Music: Doesn't matter, it's not used
• Enable Other Music: It doesn't use this type of music so it has no sound effect, but as usual turning this off also turns of throttling

Controls

For multi player you can use either all four GC controllers or one Wiimote and four GC controllers. If you just want to use the regular GC controllers (through nJoy for example) just leave the Wiimote controls untouched. The final decision about if to use the Wiimote or the GC controller is if you press the Wiimote button '+' or the GC controller button 'Start' to start the game. So the bottom line is that you can use four nJoy controllers just like in the preceding game Super Smash Bros. Melee. And the controls should be familiar to anyone who played SSBM, the left and right triggers are for blocking attacks, and the jump buttons and the other buttons are in the same place to.

In Depth Information

The earlier problem with the game was related to the MEM2 init vars. Since revision 2,655 the MEM2 init vars was changed so that the game can use 61,732,864 bytes of the total 64 MB of MEM2 instead of the old 54,392,832 bytes. The changes in Boot_BIOSEmu.cpp are shown here:

Old from IOS version ?
Memory::Write_U32(0x90000800, 0x00003124); // Init - MEM2 low
Memory::Write_U32(0x933e0000, 0x00003128); // Init - MEM2 high, 54,392,832 bytes of 67,108,864
Memory::Write_U32(0x933e0000, 0x00003130); // IOS MEM2 low
Memory::Write_U32(0x93400000, 0x00003134); // IOS MEM2 high

New from IOS version ?
Memory::Write_U32(0x90000800, 0x00003124); // Init - MEM2 low
Memory::Write_U32(0x93ae0000, 0x00003128); // Init - MEM2 high, 61,732,864 bytes of 67,108,864
Memory::Write_U32(0x93ae0000, 0x00003130); // IOS MEM2 low
Memory::Write_U32(0x93b00000, 0x00003134); // IOS MEM2 high

The game also use a few unsupported /dev/es and /dev/net/kd/request calls, they may or may not be the cause of the other problems with crashes and hangings of the game. The game use these Wii IOS functions that are not implemented yet:

/dev/es
0x1b DiGetTicketView
0x16 GetConsumption
0x12 GetNumTicketViews

/dev/net/kd/request
0x1 SuspendScheduler
0x2 ExecTrySuspendScheduler
0x3 ?

The 0x12 in /dev/es is implemented in DevKitPro so it may be possible to get good return values for that. But the other functions may be a little trickier to fix because they are not implemented in DevKitPro so you would also have to figure out how to make custom IOS requests that works on a real Wii so that you can copy the returned messages for them. But as stated they may not be needed.

MusicMod

I added some music support to Dolphin. It's admittedly very primitive but it can play some music in games that use ast, afc, dsp, hps and a few other music files. It works by detecting when a music file is loaded and plays it with vgmstream.

Detected file formats

• ast: Zelda TP, Mario Kart
• afc: Zelda WW
• hps: SSB Melee
• dsp: Metroid Prime
• adp (currently tested): 1080 Avalanche, Crash Bandicoot etc

* Notice. If you find a game that use another sound format that you know vgmstream can play just post a message here and I can add support for it in the program with a simple one line change. You can see the games that are supported by vgmstream on this site GC Stream DB (broken link, access from the archive). But remember that even if the files can be played it's not certain that the timing is as good as it is in SSBM.

Tested games

Because the AX music is already emulated in almost all games that use it, I have divided the list into a AX and non-AX part, with the non-AX games being the interesting ones

AX

• Baten Kaitos: Music already works with the HLE plugin
• Metroid Prime: Music already works with the HLE plugin
• Super Smash Brothers Melee: Played all music, but the music already works fairly well with the HLE plugin
• Starfox Assault (NTSC): Music already works with the HLE plugin

Non-AX

• ? Luigi's Mansion (NTSC): Opening screen music as he walks up to the mansion (reported by Hemi3)
• Mario Kart Double Dash: Plays ingame music, it's tested for the first course
• Pikmin 1: Sequenced music
• Pikmin 2: Sequenced music
• Super Mario Sunshine: Only the intro music works, all ingame music is sequenced
• ? Zelda Collectors Edition (PAL): Menu music (reported by Hemi3)
• Zelda - Four Swords (NTSC): Sequenced music
• Zelda - TP (NTSC): Intro music, there's not much working music ingame, the game uses a lot of sequenced music
• ~ Zelda - WW (NTSC): Menu music, Tower of the Gods music, more? It uses sequenced music to

• Super Mario Galaxy: Plays all music

Explanation about streaming and sequenced music

This modification can only play the music in games that use streaming (prerecorded) music files. This means that games like Mario Sunshine can probably not get ingame music before actual sound emulation is fixed for the Nintendo audio microcode (one of two microcodes that are written for the GC DSP, the other being the SDK microcode). Mario Sunshine only has the 1.5 minute title music in prerecorded format. The other music seems to be in sequnced format meaning that it's composed by the CameCube from hundreds of very short audio clips. It works the same way as a midi file but in this case produce better quality music. It's very complicated to make a program that would be able to play that music so it's probably better to put any of that work towards getting the sound emulation in the emulator to work instead.

Does .aw files never contain streaming prerecorded music? It seems like that. If you unpack the .aw files in the zelda games with hcs' tools from his website you will notice that some of the resulting wav files are 15 or 20 seconds long. But that's not music, it's long sound effects. The .aw files can contain both sound bits for sequenced music and sound effects.

Usage (SVN versions of the MusicMod)

Check that the needed DLLs are in the PluginsMusic directory in the Dolphin directory. The necessary plugins are attached to this post.

You can turn off automatic looping in the Plainamp.ini file by changing Loop=1 to Loop=0. You can also use the mute or volume controls to mute the music.

Chosing between out_wave_gpl and out_ds (32 bit only)

I made out_ds the default output plugin in the 32 bit version now because it has its own volume function, it doesn't change the Windows Wave volume bar like out_wave_gpl does. If you still want to use out_wave_gpl you can download the file "out_wave_gpl settings.zip" and owerwrite the old ini file. You must have out_wave_gpl.dll in the Pluginsp (PluginsMusic with the new SVN version) directory before that. (It's included in "New (all features) (32bit).zip" so it should be there.) There is no problem with having both out_ds.dll and out_wave_gpl.dll in the Pluginsp (PluginsMusic) directory together. "DolphinWx (music).ini" (Plainamp.ini) chose which one to use.

If the music stutters when it begins you might want to try different settings. If you want a graphical menu for the settings you can download Winamp 2.95 from here Winamp - OldVersion.com, change the settings in out_ds (that is included with Winamp, it's the same as I have included below), close Winamp, then copy them from Winamp.ini to the end of Plainamp.ini in the Dolphin directory. Here's a guide to some of the settings (the default settings are the ones that are given):

cfg_hw_mix=1 # Hardware acceleration, on or off, if you're having trouble with 1, try 0
cfg_buf_ms=2000 # Buffer length
cfg_trackhack=0 # Buffer-ahead on track change
cfg_prebuf2=500 # Prebuffer on start / seek / underrrun
cfg_fade_seek.on=0 # Fade the music when seeking occurs, never used because seeking never occurs
cfg_fade_pause.on=0 # Fade on pause, keep it off if it cause problems when you pause the emulator
cfg_fadevol=0 # Smooth volume changes, if it's on it will take a few seconds before the volume setting is applied, just annoying in my view
cfg_wait=0 # 1 = Don't abort fadeout when Winamp is shutting down (probably never used)

Volume notice

When using the MusicMod to play music together with regular HLE plugin sound effects it's beneficial to be able control the music volume separately. But that is only possible with the 32 bit out_ds.dll. For 64 bit there is currently no alternative. I'm looking for a better 64 bit Winamp plugin. The standard output plugins are mostly not open source and I haven't seen anyone compiled in 64 bit, probably because Winamp is not compiled in 64 bit.

Notice: The 64 bit version may have a Visual Studio 2005 dependecy problem. If you like you can try to download and install this and see if it works after that
Download details: Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64)
When we find out exactly what the depndecy problem is we may be able to upload only that missing dll.

I have now added hcs new 64 bit build of in_vgmstream that he posted below. That should take care of Visual Studio depdency problems for in_vgmstream. But you may still get the message in ConsoleDLL.log that the output plugin is not working. In that case you can try the above redistributable package from Microsoft.

Latest edit

The music modification is now in the SVN on Google Code

Old version:

Removed the Zelda fix files, meaning that Zelda WW and Zelda TP will hang because of the problem that was fixed in revision 251 of Dolphin.
If you experience crashes that mention in_vgmstream.dll you can try the new Visual C version I made.
Added mute and pause buttons in case the looping gets annoying.
Added multiplayer support (with nJoy).
Added Baten Kaitos PAL support

Suggestions

Potential future development: Detecting sound effects to

I also thought about detecting when .aw files are played. Especially for games like zelda that have a function map list included it would be possible to match common sound effects with a certain function execution. So with a little work one could get the most common sound effects to work in the games that has no sound emulation at all so far.

=============================================
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It is recommended that you use the MusicMod from a new SVN version of Dolphin rather than the versions posted here. To use the old versions that are posted below you should be aware of the fact that sometimes after revision 217 the 64 bit version will fail to load all DLLs and the 32 bit version will be extremely slow. Please use these files together with pre 217 builds or use the updated SVN build. If you can't find older versions of Dolphin to use it with, I posted them here in the files called "complete with plugins", you also need "cg dll" (I had to place it in a separate file because otherwise the zip hit that max size limit).
=============================================

Well, I decided to give it at try. So far, I've managed to build the main app and plugins zeroGS, GSSoft, CDVDNull, FWNull, SPU2Null and USBLinuz.

I had to port most of the asm files to nasm as gas on mac is very picky, some more hacks too

I've tried gtk+ for mac os x first but it didn't work for me and anyway zeroGS uses glX so I had to use x11 anyway. Now, looks somewhat like this


I've tried to test zerogs but unfortunately it just gives me

Bios Version 2.0
GIF reset
NTSC
Framelimiter rate updated (UpdateVSyncRate): 60 fps
MTGS thread unlocked
Bus error

Well, I didn't hope that zeroGS would work straight away. Now I wanted to also test GSSoft, but I get the error: error loading GSsetBaseMem. According to other threads it means that GSsoft isn't compatible with new plugin specs. I wonder if one of the devs could update GSsoft a bit so I could test it.

And just generally to learn if anybody cares enough to help out with porting pcsx2 to mac/x11?
