dsGermany's No$gba Gameboy Advance Emulator Homepage has released Martin's No$gba v2.3 - a programming tool for professional developers. This update is the first No$gba version with almost full NDS support, including 3D and NDS sound emulation. The app includes debugging features, which are only useful for programmers and are "completely useless" for gamers.

The details of the features and kinks of No$gba v2.3 include:

3D Video
All relevant 3D functions should be implemented in No$gba v2.3. In some games, some vertex coordinates appear to be totally distorted ans is currently being fixed.

NDS Sound
The app emulates all NDS sound channels and sound formats, as well as the various combinations of mixing and routing towards speakers and capture unit. Since the developer has discontinued updates for older GBA this app will not work with commercial reg keys older than 12 months.

Installation
Unzip the No$gba package into a new folder or into an existing no$gba folder when installing an update. Start the no$gba.exe file. The program should work (slowly) on at least an 80386SX. For more info about additional files you can check the built-in help.

Please refer to the readme file for more details.

Has anyone tried this with any commercial roms? What's compatibility like?

I do not approve nds piracy (*ahem* *winks*) but yeah ! haha



No seriously, you need obviously the BIOS files (which I can't give you the links, sorry) and encrypt your roms in a certain way (google it, again, sorry.) Indeed there is still a lot of work to be done, while the compatiblity is good, roms do not run much perfectly. The sound need works, some games do not work at all, and some does with graphical glitches. I haven't got around using the stylus emulation... It didn't work for me. But I guess you can try it out for yourself to know if you like it or not. Don't expect much of a result though.

I did! I can give you a few games but that's about it. Here it is:



Yoshi Touch & Go (U) - Fully playable, slow, and save.



Lunar - Dragon Song (U) - Fully playable and save.



Phoenix Wright (U) - Fully playable and you are able to use touchscreen on the bottom to see much better but no save.



HAVE FUN! >:D
