I am still playing with this. Yeah, I’m slow, but I have already done stuff between that time, even though I would have liked to have finished this sooner. It will be even longer for this to be done, if ever. Here is some screen shots and downloads.
This is a program that will turn a 3ds file and an optional bitmap into 1 file with one object and one texture. This should make loading 3d images easier and reduce file size with a more DS like format:
The header:
4 bytes char “MDS0″(0×4D445330)
unsigned int version number
bool istexture
unsigned short number of faces
unsigned short number of vertices
unsigned short number of texture coordinates
Model data:
The faces are 6 bytes each. 2 bytes for each point. Each face has 3 points to make a triangle with each point equal to the vertex and texture number of the set of vertices and texture coordinates used.
Vertices are 6 bytes each. 2 bytes for each XYZ position.
Texture coordinates are 4 bytes each. 2 bytes for each XY position.
If there is a texture, the next 8 bytes will be the the size of the bitmap. X and Y are a 4 byte unsigned int.
The bitmap is in a 16 bit format(ABGR1555) for each pixel. 1 bit alpha(not used) 5 bits for each blue, green, and red colors.

Edit:Fixed a few things.

This is slow stuff here. I am trying to make this GUI, but putting everything where it goes and thinking of how it is going to work is the hard part. One thing at a time I guess.
Still working on shit so I thought it would be cool to post some more screens.
I think the graphics engine is starting to look nice. Working on an object editer so I can place objects and stuff. A bunch of trees everywhere would be cool. Make it look less fake.
Newest working copy for demo download yes awesome!
-Have flashme installed
-flash this to GBA flashcart
-d-pad moves
-touchscreen looks
-hold L to move up and down with d-pad
-press A or B to change fog settings
-hold L and press A or B to change fog settings
