Advance Wars DS

Pdflk · 2007-04-05 11:01:11

First of all, hi guys and nice job

I had some troubles with Advance Wars dual strike. I tried both European and US version of the game with the last Desmume release (0.6.0 both on linux and win) and along with some minor issues (can't read some text from menus and speeches) there's a big issue: map isn't visible at all. Here's a screenshot:

I tried WIP build too, on windows, and it corrects some minor issues (i can see menus now), but the main problem still remains, in a cow-like form

Here are my computer specifications:

1) win xp sp2
athlon 2ghz
768mb ram
nvidia geforce 4 mx 440-se

2) ubuntu linux 6.10
pentium 1.70ghz
1gb ram
integrated video chipset (dunno exactly)

It's possible that layer is supposed to be clouds and the game makes it transluscent. The emulator doesn't have that function implemented yet though, so you gotta wait till one of the future WIP versions with that function implemented is released I guess.

XTra KrazzY · 2007-04-05 16:33:16

Simply wait for 0.7.0/next WIP, there's no guarantee it'll work but it'd certainly be emulated better.

Pdflk · 2007-04-05 17:07:51

Yes I just thought they were a bit weird so I was wondering about causes. Actually in the first one there's a seagull flying over the black layer, so I think Serio could be right (the cow one resembles clouds too).

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2007-04-05 17:28:39

Yes they are clouds which are transparent....you hardly seem them anymore when everything works perfectly.

Advance Wars DS seems to work better on no$gba, but it is still slow and instead of red/transparent movement squares you see black squares instead (which cover up units and terrain,so you gotta memorize units and terrain before you select the unit).

Just posting cause this is my favourite game on DS, and hope it will be emulated by DeSmuME soon.

Raz · 2007-04-06 01:29:06

no$gba has a problem with transparency, i think this game will run better on iDeaS, i didn't test it though....

SmileKZS · 2007-04-29 09:56:02

No$gba can run this game? iDeaS can? Wah. I didn't know that. I thought they are all black.
Yea and this game is also the one I am waiting for. The COW? So now the problems with the clouds(Before I thought that it was the bird who made this mess)!!! Oh ...

SmileKZS · 2007-04-29 10:48:33

AND HEY! look at the top-left corner! if you play AW series you will know that the green triangle-ish thing is the plains! Shows that the game content is actually emulated. Just do something with that cow~~~ SHASH COME COME COME!

What has this has to do with me ?

SaGaR · 2007-05-01 06:35:47

hi, i was actually wondering, what is a WIP, i saw it before, but still dont know, its a release, so is it like a beta version or something?
and, how do i get a WIP version?

thanks

snkmad · 2007-05-01 12:52:24

WIP means "Work In Progress".
And you can get those from either compiling your own builds, or here: http://amponzi.googlepages.com

SaGaR · 2007-05-01 17:05:54

okay, but whats the use of a WIP? new features or little fixes?
cuz i would only download them, not make them, cuz i cant program or anything:p

shash · 2007-05-01 17:31:36

If you read the page snkmad referenced, you'll see that they are recent builds post 0.6.0 release. The changes listed are additions (like new features, more speed, more compatibility, etc).

SaGaR · 2007-05-02 06:44:01

okay, thanks, im gonna try one of those
but is it hard to make such little fixes?
cuz i'd like to try it myself

What little fixes?
It requeris a lot of programming and DS hardware knowledge to emulate a system.
If you manage to compile your own build, i say its a great achivement already

Well forget about it~ I must be in some kind of enthusiasm or something... or some desire to play AW:DS asap... Just forget about it~
P.S. Really much to do with u~ Or I would have joined in ur project. But did I? No! So there is much to do with u~~~

shash · 2007-05-04 11:55:58

Ok, but seriously, I still don't get what did you mean.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2007-05-04 12:50:36

Hey shash have you or anyone else found a fix for the braile like right side text yet where it reverses the colours? You remember I showed you that screenshot?

Just wondering cuz as you know I can't compile the CVS so I can't exactly check progress and I would think it would be fairly easy to fix....

shash · 2007-05-04 13:10:15

Nope, worked on other games I prefer over Advance Wars. I guess I could spend some minutes with it, if the bug is still there... Although I don't know when I'll have the needed free time.

Serio · 2007-05-04 23:29:01

If the texture bug was fixed (and it seems it was, seeing the latest screenshots on the blog), then most likely it's fixed.

shash · 2007-05-05 03:49:44

Just tested: seems to work fine with the lastest fixes.

You don't like advance wars?! Impossible!

Anyway, can someone confirm that advance wars will be fully playable (as in FULLY) at the next desmume release? Cause that would really be awesome.

shash · 2007-05-05 12:43:05

I didn't say I liked or disliked it, just that I prefer other games over Advance Wards.

No, we cannot comfirm that I'll be fully playabe, something can get broken before release. So better wait until a release, and check, ok ?

hfswjyr · 2007-05-06 00:45:37

Sweet.

Thanks for your response and all you're hard work.
