The BETA version of Ace Attorney DS was ranked 14th in the R4DS international competition. ^^
I've been working on perfecting a previous game of mine, Operation Libra, lately. I will continue development on this soon.

Question: Did you still want to have PW: ROTP on AADS? When I finish a case, I can unofficially release it to you so you can play it a recreate it on AADS.
That is, if you still want to.

That would be awesome, I'm always looking for cases to emulate on AADS. Every case equals another example that can be used to teach people how to use AADS.

Great, that's good to hear. I might have to find someone else to script the AADS version, the PWLib version alone is taking up a lot of my free time.

I got a ton of other projects going on (working on 3 games at once at the moment).
But I'll make sure this will be on the top of my priority list, I still got a lot of time left to do fun projects like this, not into my senior year at high school yet XD
I feel sorry for saluk/KSA with their post-secondary education, they don't exactly have all the time in the world anymore.

Thanks for your help. There may be some new features from PWLib that are currently missing from AADS, like the Mason System. If AADS isn't strong enough to add certain features, we can look at some alternatives.
But seriously, thanks.

Due to there being no current cases to emulate (if you have a case on PWlib/PyWright/AAO that you would like to port to AADS, please PM me), I am going to emulate this using GS1 case 2. This is just so I can demonstrate AADS's functionality in a sort of tutorial fashion.
I would rather see a fan game or a "tutorial" game instead. How about sending pm to Casemaker creators requesting for their game to be made on AADS?

Yeah, I decided a few minutes ago that I was going to make a set of tutorials on its functionality.
Here are the sections so far...
Getting started
Basic Text
Animation
Items
Sound
CheckFunction
Interrogation
Maps
ExamineMaps
Trial
DynamicOptions
Psychelocks
Basic Events
Multi-language support
This is a little early for a release date, but I've been working on this intensively lately (just finished my last project).
I'm estimating Ace Attorney will be ready for a public release by the end of this week.

Just one question, though. Will this be able to function with Custom Sprites?
Engaged to Reiji!
Credit to Nadindi for the awesome sig! :D

Just one question, though. Will this be able to function with Custom Sprites?
Custom sprites are covered in the animation section.
Sprites in AADS work very differently from other casemakers, though.
There are 4 layers on the Nintendo DS reserved for use.
Layer 1 - Sprite Layer
This layer can display 64 x 64 sprites. Used for EFFICIENT animation.
In other words, use this for character talking animations/eye animations, etc.
You can have up to 256 frames per animation.
Layer 2 - Text Layer
This layer displays text.
Layer 3 - Foreground Layer
This would generally include the textbox. This can be animated. Animation using this can cause tiles to disappear due to the amount of tiles each background uses. You may only have up to 32 separate animated backgrounds (including the ones used in the foreground layer).
Layer 4 - Background Layer
This includes the background (for example, Court Lobby) and the character sprite (for example, Mia). This can be animated. Animation using this can cause tiles to disappear due to the amount of tiles each background uses. You may only have up to 32 separate animated backgrounds (including the ones used in the foreground layer).

I'm making some adjustments to the sprite system, moving it back to my old system.
I'm going to move textboxes into the sprite layer. Textbox name labels will load from the file system.
This way, people don't need to merge their character sprites with the backgrounds.

^^ no problem,
it may be a little late, I will be making sure I get as much work on this done as possible. I've been a little busy lately, recently got an interview with the creators of the R4DS competition, something I was excited about.
Also going to see David Suzuki live tomorrow, so I'll try to get as much progress done tonight/tomorrow night.

None of the tutorials/etc. are ready, however.
I will be releasing Ace Attorney DS with the following tools:
mmutil.exe (for parsing sound files into a DS-compatible format)
pagfx.exe (for parsing image files into a DS-compatible format)
DSlazy.exe (for repacking/unpacking your ROM to distribute your game in a single, stand-alone ROM)
no$gba.exe (for testing/playing your ROMs for PC users)
DeSmuME-linux.exe (for testing/playing your ROMs for Linux users)
DeSmuME-mac.exe (for testing/playing your ROMs for Mac users)
This basically means that, unlike the incompatibility of PWLib (from what I've heard) on some computers/operating systems, you will be able to work with AADS as long as ANY DS emulator compatible to your operating system works.
The image files Ace Attorney DS currently supports are:
.jpg/.bmp/.png/.gif (non-animated)
The sound files Ace Attorney DS currently supports are:
.mod/.it/.s3m/.xm/.wav
I will start working on tutorials tonight and making the final product as professional as I can.
The features I am missing:
Mason System
Gyakuten Kenji movement engine
Perceive
Yes, the first revision will include psychelocks.
I will work on the tutorials, I will get back with you once I am finally finished.

You'll have tons of time for this, but ROTP will have .mp3 files, animated .gif files, as well as possible .avi videos. Will these be available at some time? There may also be other functions, like the Mason System.

1. You'll have to find a lower-level audio format, such as .midi/.mod/.s3m/.it. I'm sorry, but the DS cannot handle .mp3 playing whilst loading files from FAT and loading graphics at a high speed.
2. You can easily convert animated .gif's into the format used by AADS. I'll demonstrate how in a tutorial.
3. .avi videos may be supported, I will look into that. (playing an .avi file as a stand-alone process is quite possible, playing a .mp3 file while the game is also running at full speed with graphics/text is impossible)

What kind of media files can AADS support? I can use Magic Video Converter to compress .avi files and also change them to .wmv files, if AADS supports it.

You know, it'd probably be really easy to change .mp3 files to .midi using a program. So it's no big deal.
You'd think that...
but you see, .mp3 files are very raw. They're like .avi files in the audio sector, they're not very tangible in terms of conversion.
.midi files are very organized, in terms of having defined instruments and defined patterns in which to play them.
You can try though, although if you have a .midi/.mp3 artist that is willing to port a .mp3 file into a .midi/.mod/.it/.s3m/.xm, you're safe.
And the DS doesn't support DIRECTLY playing formats such as .avi, etc. You will need to convert it into a format that is more appropriate for reading on a 99 mHz core...
I'll keep you posted though.

Thanks for your hard work :)
However, did you know there was a new version of DSLazy, called DSBuff ? I use that one. ;)

Yeah, I've been checking out DSBuff ever since it was created.
only issue I have with it is the fact that it's so bloated. There's a lot of functions in there that don't need to be there for Ace Attorney DS to work.
Plus, you can operate DSLazy using a simple batch file, no need for the application itself.
EDIT:
I'm not actually going to be using DSLazy, I meant to say ndstool.exe.
Tutorials haven't been started yet, also need to modify the sound engine. Will be ready soon.

in regards to your .mp3 compatibility issue, AADS will support .wav files that are up to 4 MB in size. That should be sufficient?
Just convert .mp3 files to .wav files and test them out, I will test this out later.

For instance:
I'm going to remove the entire EVENT_VALUE system and have the system interpret like so:
Instead of
SCR(1).EVENT=JUMPTO_OPTIONS
SCR(1).EVENT_VALUE=2
it will be
SCR(1).EVENT=JUMPTO_OPTIONS(2)

Events now work like this.

I have to say DeSmuME is definitely one of the better ones, there's a version for Mac OSX/Windows/Linux, works with all the functions required and includes save states for players that play cases on their computers.
It is definitely a better choice, I'm going to distribute DeSmuME for the emulation portion of AADS from now on. It is also open source, meaning that if I ever wished to make a custom engine to emulate AADS with, I would be able to. Another convenient option about DeSmuME.

But AADS might need different standards, so I'm not suggesting anything:P

NO$GBA doesn't support saving states.
It does support reading/writing to and from .sav files created by .nds games. However, homebrew ROMs do not work the same way as commercial games. This is why save states will be needed.
And DeSmuME covers all the functions required by AADS.

That's odd, I'm sure No$GBA had save states... Well, I'm not the most experienced with emulators XD
DeSmuMe has all the functions required and more.
It has functionality for recording .avi's/.wav's, increasing the size of the window (you can play cases full screen), it's open-source, and is pretty much functional on any platform you may have, with very minuscule hardware requirements. The memory efficiency is pretty decent compared to other emulators as well.
I feel a little guilty considering the convenience that I have this given to me as a multi-platform client unlike other casemakers such as PWLib that require a developer to work and maintain their clients to even a single platform, like Windows x86 (and even then, efficiency, their casemakers not working on some user's computers and hardware requirements are all factors I won't need to bother with).

I remember when CR was cool and Croik was the only one in charge.
I also remember when we used to have respectable members. :(

what file format would you prefer more for DeSmuMe (the emulator used for this),
.dmg or .app?
For now, I'm going to stick with .dmg (the latest version for DeSmuME, 0.9.4, is in a .dmg format. version 0.9.2 is in a .app format).
