This is tested on VS 2008 pro and express
It also works on VS 2005 but requires a slight modification…if anyone is still using 2005 and needs it I will post it…just leave me a comment.
Probably works on 2010 but have not had time to test and will likely require a slight modification as well.
[UPDATE]
To get it to work on visual studio 2K5 or 2K10 you must edit a single text file located (roughly) here:
D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcprojects\Nintendo DS and GBA Project Wizard.vsz
VSWIZARD 7.0
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0
Param="WIZARD_NAME = Nintendo DS and GBA Project Wizard"
Param="RELATIVE_PATH = VCWizards\AppWiz\Nintendo Game Console"
Param="FALLBACK_LCID = 1033"
The line:
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0
needs to be updated from 9.0 to “8.0″ for 2K5 or 10.0 for 2K10.
Save and that should be it. (You may have to adjust your permissions on that file to allow you to overwrite it).
[/UPDATE]
Cool!
That’s very nice.And could please tell me how to modify it to make it work on VS2005 ? Thanks a lot.
Sure, although i highly recommend the update to the free version of VS2008 (its better than the paid version of 2k5 unless you need some of the more specialized features of the pro version). Will update the main page
i just got the app.
very nice idea. is this palib or libnds?
Well, I don’t use palib but it should work fine with it…everything is pretty customizable
Okay, just installed this on a clean machine with visual studio 2010 and it didnt work, turns out i had to install 2008 express to get the wizard to work in 2010 express. There must be some component no longer included in 2010 that makes it fail. I will look into it.
If you get the following error:
Error: Failed to write to log file “C:\NintendoDS1.log”. Access to the path ‘C:\NintendoDS1.log’ is denied
Change the build log location in project properties -> general
This is how you convert it to different visual studio versions:
Visual Studio 2005:
– VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.8.0
Visual Studio 2008:
– VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0
Visual Studio 2010:
– VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.10.0
Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 11 Beta:
– VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.11.0
Thanks, havnt had a chance to try it out on VS 2012 yet. Good to see its still working
I tried changing the version to 11.0 for Visual Express 2012 for Windows 8 and it doesn’t recognize it the template. I had to install Visual Express 2008 or 2010. Anybody else having this problem and know any solutions?
I had noticed that issue as well (it doesn’t seem to affect the full version of visual studio). If you are using express 2k12 then it seems to be missing something from 2k8/10 that normally allows it to work. I should look into it.
