Homebrew Snes9x GX 4.4.0 Beta - Feedback requested

[Bladeoner]

Top Gear 3000 works in 4.4.0?

Hi, there are no additional fixes applied for Top Gear 3000 so it works the same as in 4.3.9.

Hi Bladeoner, I'm trying to inject with TeconMoon Injector but the program fail when I select the boot.dol file. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi Bladeoner, I'm trying to inject with TeconMoon Injector but the program fail when I select the boot.dol file. Do you have any suggestion?

I don't have any experience with Teconmoon but I took a quick look that is for injecting Gamcube and Wii ISO files to use in a VC.

If you are referring to the Snes9X GX emulator with the boot.dol please read the setup installation on https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Snes9x_GX

Hello,

I have just created a New Channel with the TeconMoon's (latest version), the same way I did for the 3 GX emulators (GBA, NES and SNES), whereas the previous version worked very well, including Wii U Gamepad support.

Now, with this 4.4.0 one, I have found the following problems:

1.When I select the boot.dol within the TeconMoon's, the program throws an exception, but I am able to complete the channel creation. This exception doesn't occur with the previous .dol of the other GX Emulators:

2.After installing the created channel, the emulator seems to work well, except the Wii U Gamepad doesn't work. I have re-tested the previou SNEX GX version, by creating from scratch the channel, and with the previous version, the Wii U Gamepad worked.

I don't know whether this is a problem of the new .dol or anything else.

Could you please help us by making the Wii U Gamepad work?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

In the "issues" section, in this topic:
https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/issues/743
There is a comment that caught my attention:
"I'm using an official snes controller and I experience that its going up in the menu and while playing.

I will see if I can figure out what is causing this. "

Yesterday when I was playing version 4.3.9 with the official control of "snes classic mini", I entered the emulator menu by surprise, even though the control does not have a "home" button, maybe it is a problem related to the comment?

The controller that I use is an official SNES Controller that they released before the snes classic mini came out but basically it's the same controller.
I think the Dpad and Analog code are interfering whith each other, but since I only have this controller and wii+mote and gamecube controller I cannot troubleshoot or something like that.

What happens in the Rom menu it's going all the way up, and while playing a game it seems to press leftdown.

Veo al error pero para mi es muy complicado, no hablo mucho Español y el error es en Español.
Nosotros cambiamos mucho código, en versión 4.3.9 nosotros usamos Snes9x 1.53 y en versión 4.4.0 Snes9x 1.58, no sé cuál es el problema

Pero tu probaste versión 4.4.0 official?

I understand, I think that the control you have of snes came before the classic controls pro and as they told me in another topic, the classic control (first version not pro) does not work correctly, and if the emulator takes your control of snes as control classic first version, it would be the reason that with the control of snes classic mini does not have that problem, it should be taken as classic control pro.
Even so I was surprised what I was saying about the menu, I've used it a lot in the last week and once it happened.

Talking about another topic, in snes classic mini when running top gear 3000 using retroarch, it passes problems almost equal to snes9x gx, maybe the compilation tools are the problem with that game.

@Bladeoner and dborth Thank you for all your work

You do not think that the music of the forwarder (Dragon Roost Island, even if it is beautiful) does not really think about the SNES ? ^^

So I change the music with a Star Fox, you will notice that the sound is sync with the appearance of the logo

What do you think ?

 

[Bladeoner]

Since some people are having issues with the Wii Super Famicom controller and Wii Classic controller I uploaded a 4.4.0 version with the fix including my latest PRs that are pending.

 

[cebolleto]

I've been trying to compile this emulator with the latest devkitpro file with no success...
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Apparently that undefined reference to `__ctype_ptr__' happens because some of the libs (in portlibs I guess) is compiled with a different version of the compiler... this could be an issue with devkitpro so it would be great if someone had any idea how to fix it :/

@cebolleto I just uploaded "devkitPRO" on the first page in my second post, that contains all you need.

Didn't have time yet to test this.

Hmm. is this any different than the official installer? For what I've seen it downloads everything from their servers.

Its the same as the official installer in fact you need to use it to download the latest tools but you need the additional files to get it to work.

 

[cebolleto]

Oh, I get it!
Thanks to you I managed to do it

Gamecube builds seem to be broken? Anyone can confirm? It crashes after loading a ROM (4.4.0). Same is happening to my builds.

Could be. I don't try the GameCube builds. If you find out what the issue is, please let me know!

Yeah, i had it working until recently, i'll be trying to rollback some things to see if i can find the problem.

Hey @Tantric, i have found the offending commit. You gotta rollback:
9dd8ebcc6093a372990ec446ce1067d042c73038

It breaks the scanlines filter for the Wii again, but games will be working normally on the Gamecube.

Thanks for tracking that down! It's really simple, I just need to only do that memset for Wii because that memory is NULL on Gamecube.
