I released desmume 0.9.8 r4387. It fixes "pixel poly" display of SoftRasterizer (example: Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, warp stone). See my previous post for the download link.

So, I have a question about the movieMode in DeSmuME. I was reading the code of it and similar functions in the other emulators and I found this code the most readable. While I was reading it I noticed something that confused me. It appears that the movieMode prevents any read (unless specifically specified) and write of SaveRAM, how does this work with verification movies? If no movie generates any SaveRAM after replay, that to me means that no movie can be used as a verification movie for a New Game + TAS or something similar.
Did I misunderstand a detail in the code or is it of no responsibility of the emulator developer to consider this?
My desire to understand this was spawned by the fact that Dolphin currently moves the save files around on disk to prevent over-writing which in general is not that good ... and I wanted to help rog fix this more elegantly, which appeared quite simple to me until I realized this little verification movie issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can explain this to me!
Hi! I'm working on 3 DS TAS's, and there's a problem I found. The firmware settings in the movie file doesn't get applied to the movie during playback, so I have to manually change it.
I'm asking to remove the green preview of the HUD only.

Can Desmume 0.9.8 use "while true do" in Lua?
The only way to remove the green preview is to modify the source code or make your own HUD in lua.
As for "while true do", emu.frameadvance() is hit or miss (it creates a few fake lag frames where nothing happens). I haven't checked the latest revision if it was improved or fixed yet.
Yes, it’s been a while since the last release, but we haven’t been completely idle. There’s a brand new jit cpu core which yields some impressive speedups, and a ton of work on the OSX port!
Head on over to the download page and check it out!
Also, please don’t post bug reports in the comments. It’s a terrible venue for that, and there are other places specifically designed for it, such as, say, the support forum.

Hey, I would like to report a bug. In the game, Nanashi no Geemu, during the cursed game stages, clicking "View Sound State" under tools and then pressing the down arrow causes the emulator to crash.
Emulator closed without saying anything. When I run the _dev.exe, I can see that an error message is written in the console but it close too faster; I don't have time to read.
I tried on versions 0.9.9, 0.9.8, 0.9.7 and it is the same (all 32bit). Either I miss something, or it's a bug.

I don't remember where I found it out, but there's some (correct) documentation for it somewhere. For some reason the function takes a table as input, for example:
stylus.set({y=100,x=200,touch=true})
or, to use a variable
stylus.set({y=y,x=x,touch=true})
Currently, the .dsm files become very large quite quickly in terms of file size. This wouldn't be a problem, except the site only accepts WIPs less than 4MB. For other sites, the problem doesn't exist unless you upload a ton of WIPs, which quickly add up.
So would it be possible to have an option that converts the input file into a hex file for uploading purposes, while also keeping the text format for user-friendly editting?

ZIP the DSM file before uploading, and the 4MB limit is for the zip itself, not the file inside (there are some more powerful compressors supported, but those are more exotic).
Submissions also have the same 4MB limit.
Also, the the files are stored compressed, and quota usage is calculated from compressed size.
As to if binary formats after compression would be smaller: Probably, but the difference wouldn't be that great.
I found a weird bug that causes the emulator to crash.

The emulator would for some reason then crash when loading. :|
