Hydr8gon's a bit busy rn, so it's not out yet.

No worries. I thought using the core melonDS versioning for the Switch port would reduce confusion, but I guess separate or the same there's always gonna be some confusion
Been busy with exams and such, so I haven't had time to update the build. It's possible to just merge the stuff from 0.7.2 into my build and make it work with no changes, but I also wanna add the UI functionality that the desktop build got, like microphone input. I'd also like to optimize the menus a bit before the next release. I may or may not have some time to work on it tomorrow, but either way exams are almost over and after that I'll have plenty of time to work on it.
Good to know, I planned to do it sometime
. While you're at it could you please replace this with a simple sleep call: https://github.com/Hydr8gon/melonDS/blob/master/src/switch/main.cpp#L661 ? It's literally burning away CPU cycles, which is esp. on an overclocked CPU not very smart. I profiled melonDS a bit and on lighter workloads the loop runs a few miliseconds per frame, just to.EDIT: also I'm currently trying to optimise melonDS a bit(I'm a novice in emulator dev, so don't expect anything fancy). Though I already had a first success in optimising the 2D renderer

Hey, that's awesome. Maybe hop in the melonDS IRC: irc.badnik.net #melondsGood to know, I planned to do it sometime

I'm sure Staple would appreciate the optimizations, and we can all talk about fun dev stuff
Also good call on the FPS limiter, I'll look into it.
I'm surprised by how decent some of these games run. Can't imagine how the others will be after that edit.
0.7.2 is out! Here you go. And here's the changelog:
Though I did more or less get everything I wanted to in this release, there are a few things I want to improve once I have more time. Let me know how the mic input works, I was having some crashes that should be fixed but let me know. I already know that the input sounds kinda farty, but I'm passing the input buffer directly to the emulator without touching it at all so there's probably more I should be doing there. Also, make sure you're using headphones that have a microphone, because the Switch doesn't have one built-in. Obviously, it won't work without a mic.

Hey @Hydr8gon Ive managed to encounter a big bug after updating to 0.7.2,

I was able to reproduce this issue once, but no more than that.1
Issue i've found at 0.7.2:
-With a ROM loaded and running, going into the settings menu pressing X, there is no way to go back into the same game without reloading a ROM again
-Closing melonDS through the Home Button after loading a second ROM leads Atmosphere 0.8.2 to a total crash, sometimes instant or the system hangs before putting the crash log.
Doesn't sound good. Guess that's what happens when I try to rush a release. I'll look into it and push out a hotfix for 0.7.2 when I get a chance.
Edit: In the meantime I'll take 0.7.2 down from GitHub so more people don't download a buggy version.

Really weird, but I couldn't reproduce any crashes. The only thing I can think of is that I somehow uploaded the wrong build, because there were originally crashes when I added mic input but I fixed them. Anyways, I put a new download up, if someone could redownload and let me know if the crashes are still there that would be great.
I tried the updates from the homebrew store as well as the one from gbaTemp and they both still caused a freeze. Any way we can help debug? Appreciate all your hard work and understand if you need a break!
Ugh, that's annoying. It's gotta be the mic init that's causing it, but why isn't it happening for me? Just to be sure, and also so there's a 0.7.2 build that actually works, here's a build with the mic stuff disabled. The white noise option should still work, though. Let me know if it works.
Edit: this build had busted audio, check a couple pages ahead where I posted a better fix.

Aye! That works! I left all the default settings except changed the audio input to white noise.
However I don't have any audio. It didn't work on 0.7.1 either. Kinda weird.
Weird, I've had the original 0.7.2 installed since it was put up, and have had audio working with it and prior.
I am using SXOS. I was actually pleased that some of the Castlevanias weren't hitching on audio during the loading screens, but tempered my excitement when they still played a little slo-mo-ish, which is in no way a knock. Definitely getting better with each and every update. Appreciate the hard work, @Hydr8gon and @StapleButter !
I'm just using barebones atmosphere. I also only boot into it when I'm working on melonDS, lol. Kosmos uses atmosphere though, yeah? It should be the same. Really weird stuff. I'll have to figure something out before the next release. I've had problems with both audout and audin now, so I might have to just handle audio some other way if possible.
Edit: just now realizing this wasn't directed at me, somehow I missed like half the posts above
Oh well, guess it's relevant either way.
