I am totally new to libdns. I try to change the sample Graphics\Backgrounds\256_color_bmp to display the background on the subscreen.
Here is my code. Do you have any idea what is missing to display hey_typBitmap on the subscreen? I already managed to display the new image on the top screen.
#include <nds.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "drunkenlogo.h"
#include "hey_typ.h"
int main(void)
{
videoSetMode(MODE_5_2D);
vramSetBankA(VRAM_A_MAIN_BG_0x06000000);
videoSetModeSub(MODE_5_2D);
vramSetBankC(VRAM_C_SUB_BG_0x06200000);
int bg3 = bgInit(3, BgType_Bmp8, BgSize_B8_256x256, 0,0);
dmaCopy(hey_typBitmap, bgGetGfxPtr(bg3), 256*256);
dmaCopy(hey_typPal, BG_PALETTE, 256*2);
int bg2 = bgInit(2, BgType_Bmp8, BgSize_B8_256x256, 0,0);
dmaCopy(drunkenlogoBitmap, bgGetGfxPtr(bg2), 256*256);
dmaCopy(drunkenlogoPal, BG_PALETTE, 256*2);
while(1)swiWaitForVBlank();
return 0;
}
In mode 5 the DS has 3 background layers available, and calling bgInit
with 2 returns a reference to a different layer on the same screen. If you want to use a layer on the sub-screen, use bgInitSub
.
There are 2 palettes too; one on the main screen and a different one on the sub-screen. The sub-screen palette is at BG_PALETTE_SUB
.
Hopefully this code will show the image on the second screen (changes marked with /* ! */
):
int main(void)
{
videoSetMode(MODE_5_2D);
vramSetBankA(VRAM_A_MAIN_BG_0x06000000);
videoSetModeSub(MODE_5_2D);
vramSetBankC(VRAM_C_SUB_BG_0x06200000);
int bg3 = bgInit(3, BgType_Bmp8, BgSize_B8_256x256, 0,0);
dmaCopy(hey_typBitmap, bgGetGfxPtr(bg3), 256*256);
dmaCopy(hey_typPal, BG_PALETTE, 256*2);
int bg3sub = bgInitSub(3, BgType_Bmp8, BgSize_B8_256x256, 0,0); /* ! */
dmaCopy(drunkenlogoBitmap, bgGetGfxPtr(bg3sub), 256*256); /* ! */
dmaCopy(drunkenlogoPal, BG_PALETTE_SUB, 256*2); /* ! */
while(1)swiWaitForVBlank();
return 0;
}
