      New version (2.65)

      Hi all.

      I've updated the page. End game now allows dumping char etc, a bit too late for my comp char :-(

      --- this took quite some effort to track down (stack overflows usually do). So only minor additional changes for the moment...

      Dragon Bone Man: I've added 4 different additional DLDI patched programs for R4 cards in general. If you are feeling adventurous enough, you might find one of these works for you --- in which case let me know which one and include precise details of your card (product name, revision number, production date, everything you can find), and I'll make sure I produce similar patched versions in future.

      Cheers,
      Michael.. err, Immir.

        Michael/Immir,

        I have tried all four of the patched versions, but haven't been able to start any of them. Unfortunately I can't tell you much about my R4. It says on the back of the box that it supports DLDI auto-patching and the firmware it is running os Moonshine(is that the right name?) 1.18. But the product itself is unlabeled. The storage is a 2 gig Kingston Micro SD card and appears to be working perfectly.
        As I pointed out I am extremely new to DS homebrew so the problem could well be user error.

        I have downloaded all the NDS files you put up, put them in Angband's NDS folder, and tried loading each one in turn. I have also tried running them from the Angband folder (I remember some GP2X stuff being fussy about directories.
        Do I need to have everything on the root of the card?

          You have angband.nds, and angband (which is a directory). angband needs to be at the root of the card. angband.nds can I think be anywhere; I'v never tried it within angband, though.

            On my system, angband.ds it has to be at the root of the card, outside the angband folder.

              It worked!

              The directory structure on my card was indeed to blame. Moving the Angband directory to the root sorted it out. Thanks for your help, everyone.

                Shouldn't this go on the "news" page?

                  Yes, thanks for the reminder. I've submitted a news item now.

                    Feature request:

                    When browsing inventory and other menus that you can scroll with the d-pad, have d-pad-right act as [return] and d-pad-left act as [esc] as in faangband port. Makes things run incredibly smoothly.

                      Good idea. Will do...

                      Note, I'm in the middle of transitioning the code to the latest devkitpro and libnds, which turns out to be quite a non-trivial process (but ultimately worth the effort). This'll take a little while, so don't hold your breath for an update for a week or so. [good opportunity to refactor the codebase... again...]

                      Michael.

                        Well would you look at that.

                        See what happens when a person is away for a while, I come back to Angband after about 6 months hiatus, we have a new 3.1 version and a wonderful DS port all at the same time! Woot for me.

                        Keep up the great work This will definitely waste many hours of work time for me!

                        Note: I have an original R4DS and a SuperCard DS1, I'll give the port a try on both a let you know what happens.

                          To that end, Michael, it may not be a bad idea to compile a list on your site of DS carts which are guaranteed to successfully run *bands on the DS. It would probably be useful for people who get these things for the express purpose of DS banding, which I'm guessing will be more than a few.

                          For my part, I use a Datel Max Media Dock.

                            Hello,
                            I tried your game on a supercard ds one it works well.

                            I ve got some suggestion to make :
                            • When, I start a new game, I can't see my character stats during rolling phase. It is the blue square, that hide this stats. Perhaps putting this square on the bottom on the screen or having the possibility to scroll
                            • I ve got some problem with scrolling. I wish I could scroll using the stylus but I can't. It would be interested when zoom is activated. (Perhaps I miss how to do it)
                            • Keyboard seems not very sensitive some times. For example, when starting a game, when I am witting my name.
                            • And a tools to send your character to angband.ook.cz's ladder


                            But, It is a great Job. Bravo !
                            Cba

                              No problem to run it on my R4DS.

                                small issue with screen switching

                                Great work with the ds port Immir.

                                Got a small issue with the screen switching. What happens is the bottom screen (map) goes to the top, and the bottom goes all strange and then back again every 3 seconds. Attached a photo to give an example.

                                Look forward to future updates
                                (Using a R4 DS card v1.18. And it is a DS Lite)

                                Thanks Christiaan
