Homebrew [Release] PokeMini 3DS - Pokemon Mini Emulator

[nop90]

This is a Pokemon Mini emulator for 3DS. I'ts in 3dsx and CIA format.

The emulator runs fullspeed on o3DS and n3DS. It runs 72 FPS emulated (36 FPS real with 1 frameskip).

This is a port on 3DS of the excellent Pokemini v0.6 by JustBurn. Everything you'll see on your 3DS is from JustBurn, I only ported SDL code to 3DS libs and made it run at fullspeed.

You can find the last release (3dsx and CIA) on github: https://github.com/nop90/Pokemini/releases

The preview release of this project is in this thread. The source is on my github

PS: there are some color homebrews for this emulator out there. Try them.

I have to fix some folder handling problems first, or the CIA version can't work. But yes, I'll do it.

Nice! Looks like I'll be playing emulators tonight!

Ok thank you! I got a little confused when the .cia wasn't in the .zip file and wasn't on the "To do list"

Works like a charm. Thank you very much!

There is a note in the first row of the OP.

Looks great, nop90, congratulations on all your hard work. Is it possible for us to have a 3* zoom option in the platform settings? The Pokémon Mini's screen is small enough to fit three times (96*64, 192*128, 288*192). Other than that, I'm loving this, thanks for another great release.

FYI, you included a 3dsx and an elf in the release package; I assume you meant to bundle an smdh instead of the elf, but not a real concern anyway.

The 3x is not included for performance, with it can't reach 72 FPS on o3ds. Anyway 2x stretched is not bad IMHO.

For the smdh, i'm going to correct the attachment right now.

How did you make your banner for your signature (the one above the internet one) was it just photshop or something.

Enjoying it so far - can't wait for all the kinks to be ironed out and sound to be added.
It randomly freezes after a few minutes and requires a power off/on, but I've only tested it on my n3ds so far, and only with 3 roms... I might try it on my o3ds soon.

The freeze is a common problem on my emulators projects. Don't know if it's a problem in the latest ctulib or someting related to the way I use sf2dlib to render the screens.

Yeah, it seems like more than just a coincidence. Tried it on my o3ds and had it freeze and lock the system up after a couple of minutes too.
