Wee Windows – Now you can program for the DS on Windows

The official poll winners are those who asked for Wee Basic on windows. Now you know the power of the poll!

Wee Windows: Windows version of Wee Basic

Instructions

1. Key mapping

D-Pad: use PC arrow keys

A, B, X and Y: PC keys F1, F2, F3 and F4

Keyboard: Use PC Keyboard

(Do not use the on-screen keyboard in the emulator as it is only there to show if the keyboard is hidden or not on the real DS. Other than that it does NOTHING).

2. Mostly self explanatory. Use ‘run’ in menu to run your basic program ( a DS emulator will suddenly appear!)

3. To install: change ppt to zip. The unzip all files into a single folder of your choice.

4. Known issues

-pressing F12 crashes when using key()
- stylus coordinates cannot be used – they don’t scale to the DS
- only capital appear when using the input function
- residual keypress on run

Be gentle with me. It’s only a first release :)

Download here:release-01.ppt

As usual change ppt to zip before opening.

This program comes with no warranty of any kind – use at own risk.

  1. Hihi

    Is there any chance of you releasing the source to this? I’m in the middle of porting brandy ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=1657 ) and would be interested to see how you’ve handled graphics, stylus and the like…

  2. Adam, the source is in no shape to be released and I haven’t made a final decision on this in any case. However, I am happy to answer any specific questions you have. Just post them under general discussion on the forum:
