DeSmuME-Reloaded

DS emulator with WiFi support === Author : JackoboLeChocobo

SETUP FOR LINUX

DeSmuME Classic Version :

• cd desmume/src/frontend/posix
• ./autogen.sh
• ./configure --enable-glx --enable-openal --enable-glade --enable-wifi
• make
• cd gtk

After compilation of the project, run the following command to use the libpcap functions in standard user mode :

• sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip ./desmume

Place your bios files in the Bios directory of your choice :

• ARM7 filename : biosnds7.bin
• ARM9 filename : biosnds9.bin
• Firmware filename : firmware.bin

Example for using DeSmuME after all these steps :

• desmume --bios-arm9 "/your_path_of_the_bios_directory/biosnds9.bin" --bios-arm7 "/your_path_of_the_bios_directory/biosnds7.bin" --firmware-path "/your_path_of_the_bios_directory/firmware.bin" --firmware-boot 1

DeSmuME RetroArch Version (64-bit version) :

• cd desmume-libretro
• make -f Makefile.libretro

A file named "desmume-libretro.so" will be created. Place it in the core directory of your RetroArch setup.

After that, run the followings command to use the libpcap functions in standard user mode :

• sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /your_path_of_the_core_directory/desmume-libretro.so
• sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /your_path_of_the_retroarch_bin_directory/retroarch

Place your bios files in the System/Bios directory of your RetroArch setup, and in the Core Options choose Yes for "Use Bios Files" if you want to use the WiFi and restart RetroArch :

• ARM7 filename : NDS-bios-ARM7.bin ( originally named biosnds7.bin on the Web )
• ARM9 filename : NDS-bios-ARM9.bin ( originally named biosnds9.bin on the Web )
• Firmware filename : NDS-bios-Firmware.bin ( originally named firmware.bin on the Web )

To use this core on RetroArch, you can use this command line :

• /your_path_of_the_retroarch_bin_directory/retroarch -L /your_path_of_the_core_directory/desmume_libretro.so Your-Game.nds

SETUP FOR WINDOWS

DeSmuME Classic Version :

• Build a Release project (tested for me a build of x64 version)

TODO

• See for useful ameliorations to add on my DeSmuME version ( bug fixes and suggestions are welcome)
• Collaboration with StapleButter (MelonDS developper) and other people to add WiFi local support (
