DS homebrew - DSx86 v0.38 beta |
Listed in: Homebrew Emulators, News Tags: dos, ds homebrew, dsx86, emulator, pate
Homebrew coder Pate has released a new version of his DOS emulator project for the Nintendo DS, DSx86, bumping it up to beta version 0.38.
Changelog:
- Smooth scaling is faster in all 640x 16-color modes, courtesy of "sverx".
- 640x480 Smooth scaling enabled also in DS Lite mode.
Developer's note:
This version has faster smooth scaling in all the 640-pixel wide EGA and VGA 16-color modes (640x200, 640x350, 640x400 and 640x480). The 640x480 mode is now fast enought to be used also on DS Lite (it used to be a DSi-exclusive feature), though the screen refresh will be limited to 15fps. Big thanks to Sverx for his hard work on the smooth scaling algorithms!
The reason the speed improvement is not constant is because the complexity of the image to show had a big impact on the speed of the original code, due to cache misses when looking up the palette values. The new code has the palette values mostly in DTCM, so it runs (roughly) at a constant speed for all types of images.
