ApprenticeMinusDS is a Sega Master System / GameGear Emulator for the Nintendo DS. At first this was only made to debug the ARM assembler Z80 core used in jEnesisDS, but with a little work put into it, this can actually be used to play some games now.

Features

  • SMS/GG emulation.
  • 10 Savestates per game.
  • Rewind and fast forward feature.
  • Settings can be saved per game.
  • Fully rendered by the DS 2D hardware.
  • sample accurate PSG emulation.
  • Stereo sound for GG games.

Installation

  1. Download the lastest version and extract file
  2. DLDI patch it and copy it to the root directory of the card

Controls

B - Button 1

Y/A - Button 2

D-Pad - L,R,D,U

Start - START/PAUSE

X - Center screen

L - Move screen area left

R - Move screen area right (Note: screen area can be moved if it has a horizontal resolution of 320 pixels)

SELECT - Enter File Browser (Also accessible by touchscreen)

Touch the "CONFIG" icon to enter Settings ingame:

L+R - savestate menu (10 slots available / game)

L - rewind

R - Fast forward

X+R - cycle through screen modes (game on top or bottom screen, modes where just 1 screen is used)

Known issues

  • Timing is not exactly correct yet, so some games might not work, or have glitches.
  • No FM emulation (yet?)
  • Sprite updates need to be improved, sometimes there can be glitched sprites atm.
  • Interface practically ripped from jEnesisDS
  • Many more, that i don't remember now..


Changelog

v0.2.6 preview release

  • Enhanced Z80 ASM core used in jEnesisDS.
  • SMS/GG emulation.
  • 10 Savestates per game.
  • Rewind and fast forward feature.
  • Settings can be saved per game.
  • Fully rendered by the DS 2D hardware.
  • Perfect sync option, that actually syncs every scanline (emulated scanline to DS scanline).
  • This option is more accurate, and needed for some games to look correctly, but it can be problematic to use it, when "Rewind" is enabled.
  • sample accurate (almost ;P) PSG emulation.
  • Stereo sound for GG games.
