    Mini vMac DS(i)

    I've looked into it a bit, and it seems like I was mistaken about the amount of work involved. I might take a stab at implementing it sometime soon, if people are willing to do testing.

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    The thing with sound is that the emulator needs to be running at least 1x speed to generate enough sound samples, and the DSi is barely fast enough (most of the time). Really?! That honestly surprises me, but sure, I'll make a note to add more build types. Support for slot-2 RAM is a lot more...

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    What version did you use? I could have sworn I added trackpad mode in the Test4 build. I'm glad you've taken the time to play with it though :) Unfortunately, I have no way of utilizing slot-2 RAM at the moment because I do not have a DS/DS Lite or a memory expansion card.

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    Try the 1MB or 2.5MB versions with no sound, it might work but just be a bit slower.

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    Thank you. I know what's causing it, and after I think of a solution I'll make another release and post it. Hopefully not too long. 1781468094 Try this and let me know what happens.

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    I'll have to think of how to test for this since I don't have a DS lite anymore. Did you put the files in the new location (/data/minivmac)?

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    New update: https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/minivmac-dsi/releases/tag/Test2 Keybindings from the original post no longer apply except for START and SELECT. I'll have to add key binding back in sometime in the future.

    Mini vMac DS(i)

    VERY WIP: https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/minivmac-dsi This is a port of the Macintosh emulator Mini vMac to the DS(i). Unlike the original DS port, this should be full speed with sound on DSi systems. I have not tested this on the DS phat/lite, sound probably will only work on the DSi only...

    Homebrew GBA Micropolis (SimCity) WIP

    I'll be working on the city evaluation window and budget window soon. In the meantime, if you're feeling adventurous you can build Micropolis with support for music via the Sim City 2000 soundtrack: https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/gba-micropolis/blob/main/doc/music.md It's a bit involved, but...

    Homebrew GBA Micropolis (SimCity) WIP

    The simulator core is fairly straightforward to work with, and I have no complaints about it. Getting everything to fit onto the GBA is another matter. By default Micropolis has a "high-res" 16x16 tileset consisting of roughly ~960 16x16 tiles. I originally wrote a renderer to handle this and...

    Homebrew GBA Micropolis (SimCity) WIP

    Hi. I'm currently working on porting Micropolis (SimCity) to the GBA, and if you want to mess around with what I have so far you can grab the latest .gba file from the main branch of my GitHub repository: https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/gba-micropolis Controls: DPAD: Scroll around R: Next tool...

    That was it lol. *sigh* Okay so I've been trying to teach myself arm assembly in an attempt to speed up graphics conversion. I kind of succeeded in a sort of way. The speed difference between (on o3ds hardware at 30% syscore): void Unpack8BPP( const uint8_t* PixelsIn, uint16_t* PixelsOut...

    Yeah I do my basic testing on citra to spare the hinges on my n3DS and move it to hardware every few times or so. I don't get why it's not blocking for the duration of the mutex lock though, svcWaitSynchronization( RenderThreadReadyEvent, INT64_MAX ) seems to return instantly. Normally this...

    Okay, I got it working to the point where it will not request another update if it's already busy. However, one thing I don't understand is that as a test I cannot block until it finishes. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <3ds.h> int ShowError( const char*...

    I just want to check if it is actually locked, if it is then don't ask the thread to update the screen.

    It doesn't need to know when it's done, more like "If you're still rendering then don't bother, I'm moving on anyway". That way the emulator won't block waiting for the framebuffer to convert. e: I'm only blocking in my examples for perf testing.

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this lol, I haven't spent much time with threading. Step 1: Main thread signals render thread to start converting the framebuffer svcSignalEvent, svcWaitSynchronization. Step 2: Render thread waits for signal, does the conversion and releases the mutex with...

    Something like: volatile bool RenderThreadRun = true; volatile bool RenderThreadReady = false; Handle RenderThreadReqUpdateSignal = 0; Handle RenderThreadConversionMutex = 0; Thread RenderThreadHandle = NULL; void RenderThread( void* Param ) { gfxInitDefault( ); consoleInit(...
