running code on dsi

[cyberant]

I started getting intersted in ds programming recently, and I tried running some codes that came with certain tutorials on my DSi.

When I compiled and tested the hello_world code that comes with the devkitpro, it ran perfeclty on my DSi. However, when I tried following drunken-coders' day1 tutorial running the code below, it ran well on an emulator but didn't run well on the DSi:

Code: Select all

#include <nds.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
	int i;
 
	consoleDemoInit();
 
	videoSetMode(MODE_FB0);
 
	vramSetBankA(VRAM_A_LCD);
 
	printf("Hello World!\n");
	printf("www.Drunkencoders.com");
 
	for(i = 0; i < 256 * 192; i++)
		VRAM_A[i] = RGB15(31,0,0);
 
	swiWaitForVBlank();
 
	return 0;
}

Am I doing something wrong?

didn't you ask that same question here?:

err yes..
At the time I was a bit impetuous because of the frustration of being stuck right at the begining and from not knowing whether the DSi is trustful for hombrew checking (or should I say, vice versa). (at the time I decided to ask here I haven't noticed the answer at gbadev)

Anyway, apologies for being hasty, and thanks for your interest

Not everyone that reads these forums reads the gbadev forums and vice versa, cross posting isn't a big deal.

As you've discovered exiting from the main loop will shut down the DS - in this case the DSi is completely irrelevant as it's running in DS mode.
