Homebrew 3DS developement - delay command in c for 3ds

Is there a delay command in C for 3ds developement

A sleep function? svcSleepThread(s64 ns); Where ns is in nanoseconds. You can also create events and mutexes which you can wait on with svcWaitSynchronization or svcWaitSynchronizationN. If that does not answer your question then try to be a little more specific.

TX!!!

sry pls ignore this

It's in nanoseconds. If you need a delay which are actual seconds, multiply it by 1.000.000.000 (1000 * 1000 * 1000, because multiplying by 1000 will give you microseconds, and then another 1000 will give you milliseconds, then finally, the last 1000 gives seconds). So if you're trying to wait 5 seconds, 5 * 1.000.000.000 should do it.

If you only need a specific amount of milliseconds, just multiply it by 1000. So if you're trying to wait 5 seconds, 5 * 1.000.000 should do it.

1 second is 1.000.000.000 nanoseconds, not 1.000.000

Whoops, corrected. Forgot about microseconds.

 

[julian20]

Yeah sry i already know, i thuoght ns are ms.......
But again tx

The only other way to do that is a loop, but that will be much more inaccurate than svcSleepThread.

You can use the following code as well:

		int i;
		for (i=0; i<= 60; i++)
			gspWaitForVBlank();

It will wait one minute/ 60 frames.

And to pile on one more - hidWaitForEvent looks useful too
