Homebrew SNES9x for Old 3DS

[simba115]

This is my favorite emulator! I am so happy when i want to play a snes rom because I can switch to this from retroarch. I'm just wondering if there is a fast forward option? Some games have long cut scenes it would be nice to zoom through them.

He means Fast Foward. It even said.

Fast Forward is also called Zoom sometimes.

Fast Forward is also called Zoom sometimes.

Point being is this emulator does'nt have that option.

I decided to create a fork with AdmiralCurtis's PRs and made an unofficial release. Hopefully this isn't considered a necropost. I hope people find this useful.

What exactly does this fork add over the original?

AdmiralCurtis pushed some ctrulib 1.2.0 fixes, code cleanup, fixes for the audio bugging out, saving savestates is faster, and the emulator resumes where you were last time you played.

What I did was I changed the version number (Of Course!) and add the word Region in the automatically determine framerate option.

Oh sweet, that's awesome. Thanks for the unofficial release.

Hey this is interesting. Maybe this is the beginning of the flood of Snes9x branches, like on PSP?

Recently Netplay was added in a new PSP branch, it would be amazing f somebody added that to the 3ds version too.

@FateForWindows, thanks for helping with the merge. Would you be okay for me to add you in as a collaborator into the main repo? You could merge the PRs and release from there. When you are done I'll just put it as a link in the first page in this thread too.

If anyone's keen with implementing Netplay, by all means.

One little side question.

In this file:
https://github.com/bubble2k16/snes9...21969f715f37cf902d64fff399/source/3dsmain.cpp

You have these lines:

bool success = config3dsOpenFile("./snes9x_3ds.cfg", writeMode);
if (!success)
return false;

bool success = config3dsOpenFile(S9xGetFilename(".cfg"), writeMode);
if (!success)
return false;

Now my question is regarding the second one.
I don't have the required tools to compile the app (yet), but I want to give this a try.

If I change S9xGetFilename(".cfg") to "./snes9x_3ds.cfg", would the app basically save/read the configurations into the main snes9x_3ds.cfg instead of creating an individual .cfg for each game?
I'm assuming S9xGetFilename is what gives it the same name as the ROM we open up in Snes9x.

I'll invewtigate this and see what it does. I may add an option to just use a global config.

Is there a possibility to add borders just like in blargSNES?

That'd be neat, thanks!
VirtuaNES also has a similar code I believe, so if the change works for this one, it could be implemented to that one in the same way as well.

I'm also planning to add VirtuaNES/TemperPCE's adjustable rapid fire to this.

Alright, here's my to-do list for the next release:
- Minor performance optimizations.
- Attempt to add SGB support.
- Global config option.
- Option to change rapid fire speed.
- Fix BS Zelda.
- (Possibly) Built-in CHX generation.
- UPDATE: ZL+ZR will be able to launch the menu. (Thanks AdmiralCurtiss for coming up with and implementing the idea)
