DSLua 0.7 released!

[daltonlaffs]

Hey all DSLua-ers!

Guess what? DSLua 0.7 is now released!

I've been a member of the development team since we first started work on 0.6, even though I couldn't help much (devkitpro just doesn't seem to work on this crap computer), I'm guessing it's OK for me to release the finished product.

Here's the link: http://bio-gaming.com/daltonlaffs/DSLua0.7.zip

Changelog:

- Keyboard functions added! Now DSLua can access PALib's internal keyboard functions!
- 3D functions added! 3D graphics are now possible!
- Support for unconverted BMP, JPG, and GIF images is now possible!
- For Slot-1 device users, you can now access an official Nintendo DS Rumble Pak with DSLua!
- DLDI support added in full! Patch with a DLDI of your choice!
- 16-bit backgrounds added!
- GBFS version fully removed -- emulator testing is now sadly impossible. PACK.BAT is no longer part of the package.
- The multiboot menu has been removed due to coding problems -- now DSLua automatically starts /scripts/main.lua (currently is a new multibooter).

Enjoy!

(And by the way, do the Keyboard and 3D functions work for you? I have a lot of problems with them, myself... maybe it's my Supercard Rumble?)

Holy crap it's faster... at least with one of my apps. I have tons of images (1543) loading as backgrounds with sorting and what not and in 0.6 it could take some time getting between them, especially if the sorting called for several to be skipped over.

Now it's lightning fast!!!

However... the sprites I had which loaded perfectly fine before are all glitched out... anyone else having sprite issues??

[daltonlaffs]

Yeah, I have that problem, too.

I solved it by running a Screen.WaitForVBL() before every Create, Free, Move, or SetFrame. It can make the images do a 'flash' thing sometimes, but it works (even my turbo 60-framesets-per-second script ran).

So this means i dont necessarily need .raw or .pal files!!

Thanks Daltonlaffs for your brilliant efforts!

Well I think its your SC Rumble cuz it works on my GBAMP, SC miniSD, and MMD.

Have you tried this virtual-os for NDS development:

Seeing problems with Keyboard and 3D and Wifi here too. DS Lite with G6 Real. I notice the same problems with C programs compiled against the latest stable PALib, so I think the problem is there.
