Neoflash MK2/3 Menu V0.6 BETA 1

[bruceg]

Attached is a .gba cart version, tested working with F2A powerwriter compatible carts and EZ client compatible carts (DSBuild was used to make this version) - should work with any cart writer that does not modify the header.

Does it work with ezf advance (realtime )

I don't know.... if you are trying it out, let cory know if it works with the cart you are using... thanks

Cory, i tried to load a save, and it stops always on 98%. I have noticed that maybe there is a problem on my mk3, because always stops loading saves, and when erasing save.
It says when starting a game: Erase MK2 save and when i push a or b it get stopped. And to continue i have to MOVE the mk3, for example i touch 1 or 2 times the mk3 and pass to the next step.
The same loading saves, stops on 98% and when i touch 1 or a few times smoothly it complete. and then can use it but same problem, doesn´t save and doesn´t load too games. Thanks

q_armando: I just drag and dropped the .nds version onto DSBuild.exe that is included in the current devkitPro/devkitArm. No worries though, I will supply it after testing it (hopefully I or someone else will get the chance to do so _before_ the release, but I did not get any notification of impending release of this specific version)

samsar: one of the two version should work fine for you. I'd try the .gba version I did first though. The .gba version works on my EZ1 just fine.

Alealeale: try and clean the contacts (gold fingers) of you MK and DS game. Sounds like they are making bad contact if you move it then it works. (qtip and a tiny bit of isopropyl alchohol (dont use ALE!!) will do the trick)

New find, I tried to get this working on M3 using M3 powerloader by pepsiman, and hey, it worked! Attached below, should work with M3 and G6.

The powerloader is a workaround for broken homebrew, please fix the menu instead.

powerON( POWER_ALL_2D | POWER_SWAP_LCDS );

Unfortunately the menu can be considered broken homebrew when used on the M3 - it is the only device I have run into so far that has this type of problem at all. Please fix the M3 launching code (I only do documents and bug tracking myself). I will forward your message to the people who actually do the coding via a bug report. Do you have an assembly equivalent?

[pepsiman]

Do you have an assembly equivalent?

I'm sure the coders can work it out.
It's not a complicated macro.

Dont I know it.

edit:/ works out to
(*(vuint16*)0x04000304) = ((BIT(0) | BIT(1) | BIT(9)) | BIT(15))
still havent figured out the order of signifigance of the bits though...

I thought I'd ask just in case you knew off the top of your head (I prefer to provide as much info as I can when making feature requests from other coders)

PS. if you havent noticed, powerON is something I have been adding regularly to any homebrew I release since our initial discussion about G6/Etools on GBAdev. Occasionally on M3 all it provides is a garbaged bottom screen though.

PPS. welcome to the forum Pepsiman ;-)

Sorry I haven't been here for a while, lots of events, including my dad passing away... and my upcoming exams. But here is a savor to those who wrote the menu something else:
Try using A+B+X+Y on the menu on the flashcard, it boots the menu

[q_armando]

Sorry to hear about your loss,it surely puts any other priority aside.
My condolences to you and your family.

[Jackalo]

Something that would be nice while browsing the MMC/SD card would be to consolidate Copy to Neo/Copy to MK3 to the Y key (L+Y = Copy to Neo, R+Y = Copy to MK3), as that would free up the X key to erase a file from the MMC/SD card.

That way, we wouldn't even need a computer to manager our NDS Rom dumps.

EDIT: Sorry to hear that Extreme Coder.  I haven't lost anyone close to me yet, so I can't even imagine what it has to be like to lose a father.  =\

[rogerpoco]

Yeah,E.C..That's tough to get through.Sorry.

Makes some of the stuff we deal with here seem trivial.

[Extreme Coder]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
This is kinda the reason I couldn't get anything good enough for the compo:(

[niutailang]

the saving manager dose not function well, in fact, it annoy me. when it point out that i should choose whether erase the saving from the mk2,no matter what i choose, the screen keeps still and the light behind the mk3 turn red. what is more, unless i turn the power off, the screen will keep still and every button do not work at all.

after click  the sd/mmc logo ,I can see the nds rom file in my MMC card, then I select one nds file and press "Y" , it flash into the mk3 flash zone, but When I back to the main page to open the mk3 logo , there is always nothing in it , it alway says "format the mk3?"
I have tried lots of nds file, only the 8MB(64mbit) game can be flashed into mk3.
My MK3 is 512m + neokey and my nds with flashmev6
Please help me,thanks.

macrocubic, If you are talking about the Ninja beeing better/Beaten the MK2/3... How?

I mean you dont have one... do you?
They only just came out so theres not a lot around.
also its been 2 years almost 3 sinse the NDS first came out and they only just started geting into it.
Neo-Flash has been around the longest, Sinse the start.

also why do you post about another product beeing better than Neo-Flash ittself? do you see us or any one posting on there forums?
