Adding a lot of data in NDS file

Post by naroin » Mon Jan 19, 2009 2:32 pm

Hi

I'm trying to add of the files needed for my game (.pcx, binary data..) in the NDS file.
It's like 3-4mb of data, much too big for gbfs.

How can I do?

thanks

If you exercise a little patience there will soon be a library released which supports the nitro filesystem. Unfortunately I can't currently recommend any of the other 3rd party libraries which claim to support this due to problems with their design.

You can also simply store them as regular files on your sd card and use fatlib (fopen, fread etc....). This has a disadvantage of not working on hardware however which the nitrofs overcomes (although nitrofs will not be writable if that is a necessity)

Interesting news there Wintermute, I was just starting to get my hands on NitroFS - great if it ends up in the toolchain somehow ;-) I'll just be more patient then and use libfat meanwhile.
