Homebrew RELEASE melonDS for Switch — continuation

[catlover007]

Quick question, when I plug in my mic it’s supposed to use that audio right?

no, though if you only need a "blow" into the microphone, you can press down the left stick

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me, I asked cuz in nintendogs you have to say the dogs name

you can also replace the wav file which is played (inside the melonDS folder there's a micsample.wav file, but the format is very specific it's 44100Hz mono 16-bit signed pcm)

I was thinking about that but I didn’t think nintendogs was worth it

Thank you for your work. You gave many Switch users a good time, and without a doubt a big smile. Hope we see more of your work soon. Great, awesome work man. Cheers.

In a later release will we eventually be able to have multiple instances of a game open for local play?

maybe if there's a hackable Switch pro which can handle melonDS more than once (though it would still be hard due to the way melonDS is programmed).

On the otherhand online multiplayer with both other melonDS instances and real DSs isn't that far away from reality.

Local play with MelonDS and a real ds is gonna be possible?

no, only online (wifi) multiplayer (as opposed to nifi/local wireless), because 1. the latency requirements are less strict and 2. the Switch (or any devices except real DSs and 3DSs or something custom build for that matter) doesn't have the hardware to connect with a real DS.

So does that mean I won’t be able to play new super Mario bros ds on switch and a real ds

First, I'd like to report that SM64DS is running pretty much flawless at this point (with max OC on CPU) with only very very minor slowdowns. In the NSMB card minigames, there is slowdown whenever toad enters the screen.
Also, I'd like to report a bug: The World Ends With You crashes in the opening sequence, as seen here




I've tried various settings, but nothing really seems to work.
On another note, I really love the gyro touch control! It makes the easier Pokemon Ranger games playable while docked.

Edit: I'm using the latest release, R4.

Trying this build out for the first time and I have to say I'm really impressed by the performance. Portrait of Ruin is mostly solid with an overclock, even when 3D elements show up. NSMBU also running quite well. It also replicated some effects in PoR that Drastic skips and doesn't microstutter when its at fullspeed like Drastic does for me. The UI still seems a bit rough for controller (rather than touch) navigation but I hope that may be addressed in time.

Are savestates supported yet or planned? I didn't notice any mention of them in the UI right now.

I know that this is such an odd request but I figured I'd politely ask anyway. Is there a way to have window configurations saved between different Global Rotations? I frequently go back and forth between docked mode and in my Flip Grip, and every time I have to re-arrange my windows so they're not off-screen or overlapping.

that's unfortunately a known bug in melonDS

I tried playing Wario Ware with it and found it to be harder, so hearing of someone playing Pokemon Ranger (which needs quite fast and precise touch controls) surprises me a bit

they're already implemented in the emulator core, but need to be exposed by the interface (like so many things ugh, cheats and slot2 modules…).

looked into it and it doesn't seem too hard to implement

Hey, thanks for looking into it! I really appreciate all the work you've put into this. Playing games on it is a dream.

ROMs can go anywhere

The legend of Kay still needs to disable branch optimizations,
because the character has strange behavior when walking, when deactivated it disappears

this seems to be exclusive to the aarch64 jit, so it's probably fixable

Is there a button which allows me to toggle between screens, and if not could you add one?
