Dualis r20.4 is here

May 29, 2007

Dualis r20.4 is out, and it’s sure to make your DS homebrew days a bit brighter. Now lads, we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Dualis, the NDS emulator for PC, is NOT used to play game backups; it is used strictly for homebrew and will NOT work for anything else.

It took quite a while for this new version to come out, so we’re sure you’re all itching to get your hands on this one. But first, here’s what’s new with r20.4:

CPU:

fixed bug in the division SWI
improved IRQ handling a bit
added emulation of GetCrc16, GetSineTable, GetPitchTable and GetVolumeTable

GPU:

fixed a bug in the backdrop color selection that would sometimes occur
fixed a bug in the rendering of 256-color r/s BGs (mode 4)
modified palette offset calculation for 256-color textures

GUI:

fixed a bug where the emulator would occasionally freeze for a couple of seconds
fixed a bug where CFlash initialization would sometimes fail when loading a ROM through the File Menu
CFlash Emulation is now automatically disabled when a compressed ROM is loaded (.zip/7z)
added a dummy sound emulation mode that works on computers with no DirectSound (EmulateSound=2 in dualis.ini)
fixed a bug related to loading a ROM by double-clicking it in explorer
added a “Recent” menu
fixed some bugs in the map viewer

MMU:

fixed an LZ77 decompression bug

Make sure to check out the readme! Oh, and the full source can be found at the zip file, so you might wanna go ahead and tweak some features yourself using the app.
