Import 3DS Consoles Selling Overpriced

February 28th, 2011, 21:54 Posted By: wraggster



For me the loss of region free to a Nintendo Handheld is a major backward step, seems they just want to kill off the import market, for someone living in Europe theres tons of games that are never released here and with the loss of region free our only hope is for Flash Carts to be able to play non region games, surely thats the wrong way. anyway rant over.

The new 3DS comes in Cosmo Black & Aqua Blue and is selling for those who want it on import for a rather high USD:467.42 which is near on 300 smackers for us in the UK, looks like il be waiting.

Will anyone buy a 3DS thats not from their region ?

Nintendo pins hopes on 3D as future of gaming

For more than 30 years Shigeru Miyamoto has been the creative force behind Nintendo, responsible for Donkey Kong, Mario and the Wii.
Now Nintendo's senior managing director is showing off their latest machine.
The 3DS can even take 3D photos and incorporate them into games.
Mr Miyamoto told the BBC's Roland Buerk that like other electronics companies, Nintendo is betting 3D is the future.

Nintendo’s newest handheld arrived in stores on Saturday and has already exhausted its initial shipment, according to Andriasang.

A Japanese newspaper – Nihon Keizai Shimbun – confirmed the initial shipment was a little over 400k, with Andriasang adding that retailers are already taking pre-orders for incoming shipments.
Previous reports suggest Nintendo will ship 1.5m units to Japan by the end of the fiscal year on March 31st. The worldwide target during this time is 4m.
The 3DS is due to launch in Europe on March 25th. Retailers told MCV that 900,000 units would be shipped to Europe during a three-week launch period, with up to 5m expected during the first year.

Dolphin-r7262- Gamecube and Wii Emulator for Windows

February 28th, 2011, 01:36 Posted By: wraggster

The Dolphin Team have released a new version
of the Gamecube and Wii Emulator for Windows, heres whats new

Changelog for 7262
DX11: Improve efb-encode shader some more.
According to AMD's GPU ShaderAnalyzer, most combinations of shaders have about 1.5x-2x higher peak per-clock throughput after this commit. For those concerned about performance, I do intend to make this at least as fast as the other backends. This is one more step toward that goal.

DS2x86 progress

February 27th, 2011, 23:27 Posted By: wraggster

News via http://dsx86.patrickaalto.com/DSblog.html

Firstly, sorry that I had failed to mention in my previous blog posts that the Worms and Warcraft versions I used to test DS2x86 were shareware demo versions. It seems that the proper games do not yet work in the current DS2x86 version. Sorry about this. I managed to find a proper version of Warcraft, and am currently testing it, so there is a bigger chance that it at least will work in the next version.
Since last week I have been working on improving the opcode support. I started going through all the opcodes in order, and implementing the missing versions. There are practically two groups of opcodes, the normal opcodes 0x00-0x0E and 0x10-0xFF, and then the extended group of opcodes beginning with the 0x0F byte. I have now implemented opcodes 0x00-0x0E and 0x10-0x7F (that is, half of the normal opcodes) for all the 16bit/32bit and real/protected mode variations. I am currently working on the second part of the normal opcodes. I doubt I will have time to implement all of them before the next weekend, but some more games might again work in the next version.
I also increased the emulated EMS memory size to 4MB, mainly for The Elder Scrolls: Arena, for which there seems to be interest. After incresing the EMS memory and implementing a couple of new opcodes, it seems to at least start up. I have managed to create a character, save the game, load the game and walk around a little bit. Other than that I don't know how far it would get (as I don't actually know how to play it properly), but it is worth a try in the next version. Oh, and I believe this time I have the proper version of the game. :-)
I have also managed to get little bit further along in Jazz Jackrabbit, as I implemented true General Protection Fault handling. However, it still fails to start, and it seems like the current problem is caused by it not copying correct data into memory. I am debugging it trying to determine the cause for this problem. I am also debugging Warcraft, which currently hangs when giving an order to dig for gold. This seems to be a "soft" hang, the routine it never returns from looks like code that determines the best route to take to reach the digging area, so I plan to compare the behaviour of that algorithm in DS2x86 emulation with that of DOSBox, and the difference should point out the misbehaving opcode in DS2x86.
So, my primary goal for the next version is to get more opcodes implemented, and some bugs in the opcodes fixed. No major new features planned in the next version yet.

Tick Tock Tank Fight v1.0 – Wii

February 27th, 2011, 21:11 Posted By: wraggster

News via http://thatotherdev.wordpress.com/20...3-wii-windows/


Its not quite a sequel but I suppose it is in a way a successor to Tick Tock Car Race. It certainly borrows a lot from it.
rather than racing from checkpoint to checkpoint you are instead tasked with destroying five tanks as quickly as possible.
Use the nunchuck analog stick to move and the wiimote point and B button to aim and shoot.
To be honest I’m not particularly happy with it. There where a lot of things wrong with Tick Tock Car race but most of it was behind the scenes and at the least I thought the gameplay was fun. But I’m not sure that I can say the same about Tank Fight…
The music used in the game is Biosphere by Joshua Arámbula.

Ctr-Gcs-DacoTaco-Edition 0.1

February 27th, 2011, 20:50 Posted By: wraggster

Ctr-Gcs-DacoTaco-Edition 0.1 released by DacoTaco

Ctr-Gcs : DacoTaco Edition is a tool built to create or restore full, raw memory card backups and GCI save files just like the GC application Ctr-gcs did. These dumps can be saved to restore later or be used in emulators like Dolphin-emu. Unlike ctr-gcs however, this utility can read or write to unofficial memory cards; no matter what its size is.
The program will read & write the dump to the SD card (in the ctr-gcs folder) as card_dump.raw
Also please note that if you restore a corrupt dump to a memory card, or if the program shows an error while creating or restoring a dump, you may end up with a corrupted memory card.
Todo list

• Fix CARD_Create error -6 (failure to create cause previous delete didn't free the allocations correctly) on GCI restore
• Do another attempt to get nintendo cards working flawless (no need for GC game or SM to unlock card)
• Make code nicer to look at
