    FPC4NDS: first raw demo

    This post to show you the result of a wasted saturday late evening: my first nds demo compiled by freepascal. :mrgreen:
    Only for your eyes, here is a screenshot of the demo (as for the gba, a wonderful red pixel in the middle of the screen!):



    In short: it's a demo made using only the compiler, without rtl and without linker script/crt0 (yes, like the gba: stripping out things in the generated asm file )
    Next step is to make a working crt0 and linker script (the step that drove me crazy with gba compiler...) and making a better rtl (the current nds rtl is only a draft made by the gba one).

    Unfortunately next steps will be tears'n'blood, so don't expect something working in the short

    At this time there is some ferment on fpc svn, because fpk & co. are submitting some deep changes in the sources. The bad thing is that I can't go on (every day too much changes to trace out) until they'll slow down all that updates; the good thing is that fpc himself is applying changes and fixing bugs in the gba stuff

    Yesterday I have bought no$gba nds debugger (I'm waiting for the activation key), so hopefully it will help in porting process

    Not sure if this is good news or not, but apparently the Nintendo Wii uses a Power PC.

    Yes, and it shares the architecture with the gamecube, so it could be possible to use the gc docs for wii too. Though it's a bit early to think about a wii port... we need at least a way to load homebrew on it, jumping the "genuine check"

    The last time that we tried to get Nintendo to take Object Pascal via Free Pascal to their licensed consoles they "didn't see a benefit" for it. I'm thinking that we need to show them the benefit. Petition anyone?

    Of course the Petition could use a few demos of what can be actually done with the GBA, NDS, GameCube and the Wii using FPC... Something impressive I think.

    What do you think Sly? Could this be pulled off?
