>> Rob's Basement <<
Welcome!
(Updated: January 20th 2009)
Hello! 
My name is Rob and I'm also known as "silent_code" at the gbadev.org forum. I'd like to welcome you to my web site!
This is the place where I release my software (other content is planned as well), so visit it every once in a while to find out about interesting new releases or updates.
Well, even though I have released my demos only here and didn't announce them anywhere (except for the August 2007 Volumetric Shadow Demo thread over at the gbadev.org forum), I've seen a lot of good responses to my demos.
So, first of all: Thanks to all the people spreading the word!
I'd also like to especially thank those, who supply a link to this site, so people can always get the newest versions of my software, instead of outdated direct links!
Most of the free time I have, I'm working on my projects, hence there's currently just this simple page here. More content (like images, PC game demos, videos, music etc.) will become available later on.
So, just like the projects get updated from time to time, the page is also extended and updated when ever possible.

NDS Volumetric Shadow Demo 1.6.0
(Updated: July 5th 2008)
The current version 1.6.0 is very likely to be the final one, although it has not been decided, yet.
A higher quality program (both in presentation and programming) called "VSD 2.0" will take its place in the future, so visit this site from time to time and look for the new release!
Features
- Hardware accelerated volumetric shadowing - A mini-tutorial is included with the source release!
- Motion blur with video capture, using only one VRAM bank, at 60 FPS
- Hardware lighting, texturing, fogging, antialiasing etc.
- Display brightness control
- Viewport scissoring (thanks to gabebear off the gbadev.org forum)
- Loading binary and text files from disk (through libfat)
- Converting .tga 24/32bit image data to 16bit nds textures
- Displaying a custom font and a text area over a background image, all loaded from disk
- Smooth touch input
- Simple frame rate counting and some other rendering status info
The program's current release was build with devkitARM R23b, libnds 20071023 and libfat 20070127, using devkitARM's default AMR7 binary.
The toolset and libraries can be obtained over at devkitPro.org - open source and for free.
Emulators: When using FCSR, it is mostly compatible with no$gba 2.6. (The emulator is still missing some features.) Other emulators are not supported!
Hardware: Compatible with DLDI-able FAT cards - tested with SLOT1 M3 Real via the firmware's autopatching.
Through FCSR, it is also compatible with older SLOT2 (GBA) NOR cartridges - tested with NeoFlash 512Mb.
Zombie NDS Demo
(Updated: June 2008)
Based on that particle system, the game is a bloody and simple shooter.
Remember, it's not a complete game, just a Work In Progress "technology demo."
> Make sure you read the included readme. <
Compatibility
Emulators: It's fully compatible with no$gba 2.6.
Hardware: Fully compatible with all devices. (DOES NOT NEED DLDI!)
Notes:
Can't run NDS homebrew? Get the free version of no$gba!
Don't know what .rar files are? You need Winrar! (It's free!)
