What do you want to be saved?

Hi! Are you using the Nitro version: https://notimplementedlife.github.io/FSPDSNitro/ ? The normal version is known not to work with emulators. 

Additionally, you could try this homebrew to see if it loads assets and runs properly: https://samael-kethill.itch.io/hidden-palace . If it doesn't work with your emulator, neither will FSPDS.

Hi! Maybe this works for you:

You can make FSPDS not depend on the filesystem if you include the flipnotes in the NDS ROM itself. The link above directs to a page where you drag-drop a bunch of PPM files and download a NDS file that should see and play them. If that was the cause of incompatibility with the Wii U, then this should solve it. Please let me know whether you succeed or have any issues with it.

Good news! I found a way to make it run on phone emulators. You have to create your own NDS file that contains the flipnotes you want. Here's a drag & drop tool to do that (only desktop browser support for now):

And here's the app running on DraStic emulator:

I don't have experience with any of the Wii hardware. The requirement for FSPDS to run is a DS system/emulator/virtual console with access to a FAT filesystem. For now, if we can't make stuff work on things they weren't designed for, let's just hope a flipnote viewer is ported to a wider variety of devices in the near future!

Hi! The app was designed to use with flashcards on a real DS hardware. It does not work on emulator because it requires access to some filesystem interface which is not implemented in emulators. However, it runs on DeSmuME emulator (PC) with a specific setup to emulate R4 flashcards.

That's a fun physics game for the GBA! I love the looks of it, great work!

Hi! I know it's been a long pause, but now you can view the flipnote authors, among many other new features. Hope you've been able to repair your DSi in the mean time.

Interesting concept!

Doing it as Scratch project is what makes it the most unique Flipnote Studio related project I've ever found. I believe that rounding the computed number of frames up to the nearest integer would make more sense. If you' re up to a challenge and want to give it a deep thought, there is a more sopisticated frames-related problem addressing the sound issue:

Knowing the target length of an animation in seconds, one needs to find the correct combination of animation playback speed and bgm recording speed in order to improve the sound quality while keeping its size under acceptable limits (~249KB, <60 seconds). 

Overall, it was fun messing with your "game"/tool and that really made my day!

This game has so much potential! It's simple yet fun. Glad to see some nice homebrew for the DS being made once in a while.

Alright! Thanks for your interest in my game! And have fun!

1.5.2 is technically the last version of the game. The only thing the jam version adds is the GBA Jam logo splash screen. Otherwise, it's exactly the same game. If you want, you can consider that the jam version is the "final" one, because the game was primarily intended as a jam submission.

Thank you!

Thanks for trying it! It's alright, your feedback is pertinent, I'm aware that not really much is to be said about my game :))

I've always been a fan of title screens in form of a map you can walk around and interact with stuff, and I'm glad to see this idea is receiving love from other developers. I'd like to see how this goes on if you keep working on it.

A title screen full of originality. It is fun to watch, and the way Coquiman(?) catches a fly with their tongue from time to time is so entertaining. 

That's how the perfect testing playground looks like! Chaotic randomness and things that may seem out of place, but their main purpose is only to do their job. I can't stop watching the cool character animation. It looks so much like a 3d model that it first tricked me into thinking it is a bunch of geometric shaped sprites stacked on top of each other, like I saw some people simulate their 3d on retro platforms. 

The sky texture looks fabulous! Indeed, the screen screams for some animation like sparkling stars or something, but still it makes a good job of inducing a cosmic world vibes.

That picture background looks a bit hard to create by combining 4-bit palettes. Saying this is your first time trying GBA programming, you have my deepest respect for it!

Wonderful! The autumn vibes I miss in real life, here I find it in a GBA title screen. The scrolling map is absolutely magical. Everybody gangsta till you press B and skyrocket beyond map boundaries :))

Some modern UI looks come to the GBA. I don't exactly know what I'm looking at but that's damn satisfying.

The cartoonish style makes it feels I'm playing some kind of Flash game. Now I'm overflowing with nostalgia. Also, let's make dogs the center figure of this jam :))

Your art looks so good it makes me jealous :)) And the way the game's logo fades in is simply astounding.

The neon lines remind me of the nightclub in GTA Vice City. The title is so pretty, and it's obvious you have a spectacular eye for detail.

Virtual Boy vibes :) I'm amazed whenever I see Mode 7-like games, and the fog/shadow in the far distance is a splendid touch. Congrats for the game!

Such a nice game! The board layout reminds me of Fire Emblem in some ways. Good work!

Thanks a lot! I threw in some random playable screens because I didn't really want to deliver a "game-less" ROM. The chess metaphor illustrates how the human brain can make up things in dire situations in order to make us feel assured, but later we discover it was just a volatile thought and the only thing you can do is to face your actual fate. I refrained from explaining too much in the game because I wanted to give players the liberty to interpret this in any way they want. Glad you were curious about it!

Thank you! It is "silent" because my engine doesn't have any music routines, yet. Besides, the rotation stuff consumed enough cycles I was afraid it would distort the sound :) 

I understand. Being a bit struggling to read was kinda part of the design, but it shouldn't have been that hard. The text you're showing says "survive". I may rethink the font choice in the future. The rotation would distort some letters anyway, but hopefully would be much more clear that way. Thanks for remarking this issue!

I lacked inspiration to be honest. Thanks a lot for your feedback! Could you please explain the issue about the words you couldn't decypher? Is it about the title screen?

What a cool game! I'm smiling because it's all fun and cute. I'm crying thinking about how much work and skill was needed to make it feel that smooth!

I usually avoid playing Commodore games because I find them hard to emulate for a noob like me. Yet I come to realize there are beautiful games there too. Thanks a lot for making these gems more accessible to everyone!

Yeah

Thank you!

Thanks! Same goes for you too!

What a lovely game! I'm a galsses-dependent myself and can totally relate to Mr. Hedgehog. Also, I always enjoy your brilliant mechanics!
