I won’t catch up on all news, I’ll just update the news on a more regular base from now on; however, the release of No$Gba v2.3 adds compatibility for Nintendo DS emulation, so I thought it might be worth while being mentioned.
Some games are already compatible as you can see in the screenshots below, other features are still missing – here’s a snipset from the release notes:
Hello to first no$gba version with NDS support. Parts are working fine, parts are under construction. The most important (missing) things to be aware of are:
Major Missing Features Sound, and WLAN emulation are still missing. Sound should be relative easy to implement. WLAN should be quite simple, too. I’d still need a second NDS console for testing communications. (…)
Things that work only with real NDS-BIOS-image The “decompression-with-callback” BIOS functions are currently working only if you do have a copy of the real BIOSes as ROM-images (see Installation and DS Xboo chapters). Encrypted ROM-images (with encrypted first 2Kbytes of the secure area) can be used only if the (full) NDS7 BIOS ROM-image is present (which contains the 1048h-byte decryption seed data).
Couple of notes:
-The ROMs need to be encrypted. Most of the ones you “find” online aren’t.
Use this program to encrypt them: http://www.gbadat.altervista.org/gbadat/tools/eNDryptS_v1.1.zip
-You need the DS BIOS files “BIOSNDS7″ and “BIOSNDS9″
