CATSFC version 1.08, 2012-12-20
A Super Nintendo emulator for the Supercard DSTWO.
Based on:
* Snes9x 1.43, by the Snes9x team (with research by the ZSNES folks, anomie,
zsKnight, etc.)
* NDSSFC 1.06, by the Supercard team (porting to the MIPS processor)
* BAGSFC, by BassAceGold (improving over NDSSFC)
* CATSFC, by ShadauxCat (improving over BAGSFC)
# Compiling
Compiling CATSFC is best done on Linux. Make sure you have access to a Linux
system to perform these steps.
## The DS2 SDK
To compile CATSFC, you need to have the Supercard team's DS2 SDK.
The Makefile expects it at `/opt/ds2sdk`, but you can move it anywhere,
provided that you update the Makefile's `DS2SDKPATH` variable to point to it.
For best results, download version 0.13 of the DS2 SDK, which will have the
MIPS compiler (`gcc`), extract it to `/opt/ds2sdk`, follow the instructions,
then download version 1.2 of the DS2 SDK and extract its files into
`opt/ds2sdk`, overwriting version 0.13.
## The MIPS compiler (`gcc`)
You also need the MIPS compiler from the DS2 SDK.
The Makefile expects it at `/opt/mipsel-4.1.2-nopic`, but you can move it
anywhere, provided that you update the Makefile's `CROSS` variable to point to
it.
## Making the plugin
To make the plugin, `catsfc.plg`, use the `cd` command to change to the
directory containing your copy of the CATSFC source, then type
`make clean; make`. `catsfc.plg` should appear in the same directory.
# Installing
To install the plugin to your storage card after compiling it, copy
`catsfc.plg`, `catsfc.ini` and `catsfc.bmp` to the card's `_dstwoplug`
directory. Then, copy the source directory's CATSFC subdirectory to the
root of the card.
# The font
The font used by CATSFC is now similar to the Pictochat font. To modify it,
see `source/font/README.txt`.
# Translations
Translations for CATSFC may be submitted to the author(s) under many forms,
one of which is the Github pull request. To complete a translation, you will
need to do the following:
* Open `CATSFC/system/language.msg`.
* Copy what's between `STARTENGLISH` and `ENDENGLISH` and paste it at the end
of the file.
* Change the tags. For example, if you want to translate to German, the tags
will become `STARTGERMAN` and `ENDGERMAN`.
* Translate each of the messages, using the lines starting with `#MSG_` as a
guide to the context in which the messages will be used.
* Edit `source/nds/message.h`. Find `enum LANGUAGE` and add the name of your
language there. For the example of German, you would add this at the end of
the list:
```
,
GERMAN
```
* Still in `source/nds/message.h`, just below `enum LANGUAGE`, you will find
`extern char* lang[` *some number* `]`. Add 1 to that number.
* Edit `source/nds/gui.c`. Find `char *lang[` *some number* `] =`.
Add the name of your language, in the language itself. For the example of
German, you would add this at the end of the list:
```
,
"Deutsch"
```
* Still in `source/nds/gui.c`, find `case CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED`. Copy the lines
starting at the `case` and ending with `break`, inclusively. Paste them
before the `}`. Change the language name and tags, and update the `cmplen`
to be the length of the `START` tag. For the example of German, you would
use `cmplen= 11;`, because that's the length of `STARTGERMAN`:
```
case GERMAN:
strcpy(start, "STARTGERMAN");
strcpy(end, "ENDGERMAN");
cmplen = 11;
break;
```
Compile again, copy the plugin and your new `language.msg` to your card
under `CATSFC/system`, and you can now select your new language in CATSFC!
