FAT support

Moby Disk · 2007-04-16 01:06:47

I'm trying to use DeSmuME for homebrew development. The release notes indicate that there is FAT support, but I don't see any information on how to configure it. Ex: How do you set the root directory for the CF? Which fat drivers/libraries work with it? Ex: Which DLDI driver settings would work with it?

I tried opening some homebrew apps like DSOrganize, DSDoom, AmplituDS, and Moonshell - but none of them seem to work. I am hoping there is some FAT configuration setting hiding in the INI file.

Excerpt from Changelog:
0.3.3 -> 0.5.0
cart:
- Added CompactFlash/FAT emulation.

It works, using libfat just leave the rom unpatched, and the root folder is the same the loaded .nds is in. I don't know if subfolders are correctly supported, but it loads perfectly from base folder (tried it myself with a renderer I wrote a while ago)

Subfolder support still needs work.
I also had problems with files that are not 8+3, at least on GNU/Linux.

I've been unable to sort this out...

I was able to load a mp3 file on a subfolder with lmp-ng-beta, but it only played for like 1sec, after that only noise...

hey, works better in 0.7.1

opendir() works but paths in freetype don't.

I'm using 0.7.3 on Windows XP Pro (in VMWare Fusion under OS X -- I really wish the mac port worked). I'm also having trouble with the FAT support in the port I'm working on. Subdirectories just don't seem to work properly. I seem to get a list of all the files/dirs in the folder alongside the .nds file if I list "/" but if I try to list the "/content" dir I get *some* of the files from the "/.git" dir instead. It's strange -- I get the correct *number* of files, but the filenames themselves are from the wrong dir. So instead of "version" and "packages/" (the things in /content) I get "HEAD" and "refs/", two out of the 10 files in the /.git dir.

It's a real shame -- this means I can't use desmume to debug any more because I can't get it to load any files.

I looked at the issue of sub-folders a while ago, but forgot to fix it after reading through cflash.c I'll check in the future whenever I've some free time.

Great! In the mean time I've found that FAT works properly with a disk image passed on the command line.
