NDS adaptor plus doesn't work on MAC #11

Open JaykayKent opened 11 years ago

Version:Application and driver for NDS Adaptor Plus (firmware v3.04) I cannot type in the field afterwards, so I cannot do the --debug.

Error message: Last login: Wed Sep 11 02:44:11 on ttys000 /Volumes/KAIRO\ 3/ndsplus ; exit; Drohns-MacBook-Pro:~ Drohn$ /Volumes/KAIRO\ 3/ndsplus ; exit; NDS Adapter+ firmware version 256 detected. Card title: POKEMON B2 Card ID: IREO Card size: 512 MiB It looks like you got a card that I don't know how to handle. Please run me with --debug and post the output as an issue on github - thanks! logout

You write your card is firmware version 3.04 - but the program detects it as 2.56. Are you sure you updated the firmware correctly?

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

I am not sure. I downloaded the file from the website (which has that name). Does it not automatically install the newest version?

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

How do I update it?

Thulinma commented 11 years ago

At time of writing, the firmware updater can be found here: http://www.hkems.com/files/0907/0907_v3.05.zip

It's windows-only, so you'll need to use a VM or a borrowed windows machine to run the firmware updater. After that is done, it will work on your Mac through this program.

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

I use winebottler or something I installed it for this purpose

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

I'm trying the updater, it's downloading

Thulinma commented 11 years ago

I'm not sure it'll work through wine - but let me know if it does! :-)

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

which others are there?

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

Do you know one that is free and works for sure?

Thulinma commented 11 years ago

I've used VirtualBox in the past to update my own adapter - that worked fairly easily. Of course you do need a windows install CD to get windows running inside VirtualBox - but those aren't very hard to obtain.

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

I dont have one though >.> ok so I got the updated the program seems to run but it says it's upgraded and nothing changes

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

Does the upgrader work for the MAC version or just the windows version?

Thulinma commented 11 years ago

The updater is meant for windows, hence why I suggested to use a VM or borrow a friend's computer to do it.

I have plans to include a firmware updater in the ndsplus application for linux and mac users, but haven't had the time to do it yet... This isn't my job, I'm doing this in my free time. :-)

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

thanks for the help anyway! :) good luck and im looking forward to the mac support! And thank you for using your free time to do this for people

Thulinma commented 11 years ago

No problem! I'll make sure to leave a note here when I've added firmware updating support to the application, so you'll be notified.

JaykayKent commented 11 years ago

thank you!

I do have a MAC that runs Windows 7. I tried this on MAC OSX (using the upgrade firmware software on Windows) and it still doesn't work.
