Did you forget us?
Please give a Status of the Save Function.

No no, Im still alive. Basically I dont code anything, all I do is put the latest fat driver into scummvm and hope it works. So my progress depends on the progress of the fat driver, there have been a lot of changes lately but none of them good for SCSD. Ive been trying to work with chishm to get the code working (he doesnt have a SC) but progress has been slow because I've been spending most my time at uni (ok thats a lie, lots at uni and lots at the pub).

As soon as the fat driver can write files again (or read them for that matter) Ill let you know whats going on. As for the SRAM saving idea, its doable but the problem is time and knowing me it wouldnt be that stable so the best solution is to wait for a working fat driver

does this version also works with m3sd?
if someone can, please, post the binary, the file at yousendit have expired and i cant get it

It's being worked on.  See this post ->  http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=8440&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=195

The links are expired. Can anyone upload it again ?

Nobody will be releasing anything until they have fixed the read/write issues, so until then we are just gonna have to keep our eyes peeled.

I'm not sure if this will help anything but I just thought about something.  I have a supercard sd, and i was using moonshell v1.0 (which i believe uses chism's fat code).  I wanted to take a screen capture of my skin, and for those that don't know, there is a tool included with moonshell for doing this.  You copy over 'scrcap.nds' and 'scrcap.bmp', then while running moonshell, you execute the scrcap.nds and it builds a capture of your skin, then writes it to the scrcap.bmp.

I have no idea what this process involves, but it definately does not have any trouble writing to the file.  I wonder if this can be used to create a way of saving settings and games in SCUMMVM sd version.

It's a long time since any Scumm updates, is there any news?  Still dying to play Zak McKracken on my DS :lol:

[Linus]

if theres news its over at gbadev.org in the ds misc forum theres a sticky about scummvm.

as for the writing im looking at it every now and again but im not very good, cory hasnt been able to look at it lately and chishm hasnt got a SCSD so....progress with saving is slow.

sorry

Does anyone have the latest Version from ScummVM DS from Linus?
I want to try to Save with the QPC Method. The Original ScummVM works fine with that method, but the Touchscreen Code is horrible.

Man this sucks, ive been trying to patch in the writing code from, but ive broken the loading of the game again somehow!!

Got to redo my steps from the start:

rename ipc.h
change the makefile to include asm
edit disc_io.h to contain __cplusplus define bracket things
and comment out WAIT_CR lines

theres something else im forgetting, i know i explained exactly what i did to someone, but i dont remeber who or where

well either im forgetting something or the read speed of the asm isnt quick enough, if i can remember which version of the fat i was using that might help. was it moonshell 992?

edit: ok found it over it gbadev, havent forgotten anything just got to find a version of the fat with fast enough reading speeds then patch in the writing asm to that

[Linus]

Well Im having absolutely no luck whatsoever. I can load games with an old version of fat (from about feb) but when I try putting the read code from that into the new fat it wont write and when I do it the other way round it wont load, i cant even find the difference in the asm.
