Homebrew blargSnes -- SNES emulator for the 3DS (WIP)

[DiscostewSM]

The thing with such LUTs is that out of the 65536 possible values, only 256 would be used, which is kinda wasteful. Although it might be more cache-efficient, dunno. Would need proper testing eventually.


CIA version is planned if it's not too much of a pain to build.

Yeah, that is the side-effect in this case. I was looking at it with trying to reduce the number of instructions, if cases, etc. Technically speaking, the values grabbed when masking 0x8080 and 0x4040 for the separate pixels is the same, so if adding some right-shifts and reducing the size of the LUT would help..... /shrug

I was a bit like wtf as well. More like "is working really fucking hard at making the emulator play sound and graphics at the same time and not explode".

Well it plays sound in his video!

So we cant convert the .3ds to .cia using the current conversion methods? I was going to try but I'm still new at this .cia stuff.

Maybe it's because of the additional sound module smealum talks about in the FAQ? Didn't know it helped things along THAT much.

It does indeed have sound since a while ago in cia form, but you know how StapleBut is about unstable builds.

I for the life of me cannot get this to even appear in the homebrew launcher anyone know the proper installation path
(and yes im using the 3dsx version)

I had the same problem, but then I renamed the folder to blargsnes and deleted the .3ds version (leaving the .3dsx there) and it worked, not sure which of those two was the solution. Unzipped ROMs go in root://snes

Thats the problem the 1.1 in the folder name
let me try it like that

Now I got it working can OP include what Opoth and gypsynimrod said to prevent the same question over and over?

Don't know if I somehow downloaded mine from somewhere secret but I have sound (Super Mario World). Gonna be honest, didn't expect the emulator to be this far along. So far no problems at all.

Got it from https://mega.co.nz/#!LJpC0ASK!Jke6Snsfs2sOkQyxfFUC1alGvH6zt9b6tjwdxVKwmm8

Does this build maintain the borders or does it stretch?

It isn't leaked. That Mega link is from http://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Applications.

The hell, but, it still unstable, why is it on there?? Er, why hasn't StapleButter said anything about it?

Argh, Zelda appears to be really playable (with sound!), except that the maps aren't visible... Exciting sneak peek!

Is the audio interpolated (filtered, soft-sounding) or kinda scratchy/unfiltered?

Yeah the dungeon maps work for me, but not the world map. I wonder if it has to do with one of the SNES's modes being broken.

I wouldn't say it sounds soft... I'll see if I can nab a quick video

EDIT: Video will be live in ~5 minutes at
