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

[VinsCool]

I'm sure Gaussian interpolation and ADSR (which helps with echo I think, acronym for Attack Delay Sustain Release), FIR sampling, ADPCM, a few things to work out, but man, full speed, this emulation is proving to be quite impressive

a better thing about sound is it doesn't glitch like on psp or zsnes. Just the mushroom/pipe/dragon coins/sound effects in smw sound like the real thing

Damn, you serious? That's my main nitpick about Snes emulators on portable devices, only two emulators previously could emulate that right, Snes9x 1.52+ and Bsnes/Higan. Zsnes is old as sin and the PSP only had Snes9x 1.43 ports, prior to it having cycle-accurate S-SMP emulation. Mushroom sounds in the Mario games are tricky as hell to get right

I am once possible, test by yourself

Well, I just got a copy of Cubic Ninja, I assume that the version of Blargsnes with sound can be used with that exploit, correct?

 

[piratesephiroth]

Actually, it can now support 60 fps on Chrome, as long as the video is encoded at 720 or 1080 at 60 fps or IE 10 with HTML5 http://kotaku.com/youtube-finally-supports-60fps-and-it-looks-awesome-1652460542

Just for the sake of clarification


VinsCool Seeing that at 60 fps, and the sound emulation's actually quite decent already, dayum that looks awesome

Damn it why my Firefox is behind IE

indeed, this is the version I'm using. Unofficial and unsupported by StapleButter, but still WAY better than 1.1

Use the HTML5 player, I believe you can switch YouTube play as that instead of Flash or whatever it defaults to. Or use Chrome.

Good, glad to hear it works Now, what other games have you tested and have correct sound effects? Do Final Fantasy games work, like VI?

I compiled the newest version and this already plays Super Mario World better than the Wii emulator version did, both unofficial and official, very nice.

Final Fantasy III crashes, Final Fantasy II works (but gets stuck at a text screen) and FF MQ doesn't work either. I don't have any other FFs on it to test.

Is it normal for blargesnes to take a while loading roms? Earthbound work without sound and i later could not see the starting menu where you select your file (just disappeared). A link to the past has been loading for about a minute. and megaman xtreme and super mario didnt work either ? tried cia and hc versions.

I always use the HTML5 player. 60pfs is just not supported on Firefox right now.

On IE it even shows on the quality selection menu '720p60' instead of '720p'.

I don't use google's browser. They already have my internet searches... I don't want to give them my whole browsing history too.

Megaman X works fine. X2 and X3 obviously won't work because they use special chips.

-SMW + All Stars
-LOZ a link to the past.
-Super Metroid
-Earthworm Jim (earth worm jim 2 crash)
-Tetris Attack
Everything else I tested seems to have proper sound effects working.

Final fantasy doesn't seems to work for me.

Ah well, I'm sure it will eventually Still, this emulator is already freakin awesome XD

That's what Control Shift N is for lol. Use incognito mode, they can't track it then.

It is. Seriously, It is even better than snes emulation on psp. At least blargsnes keeps a nearly constant 60 fps in mode 7

A minute to load a rom and get it started? Link to the Past loads in about 5 seconds for me. Maybe you have too many games in your folder, though.

 

[placebooooo]

I do actually. Didn't know that was a problem

 

[dronesplitter]

I can't promise it will fix it, just a guess...may not help you, but please try hopefully it does help you

 

[piratesephiroth]

remember you roms can't be zipped (I don't even know if it will list zipped files, heh)

this worked. went from 300 to 50 roms. Thanks!
its kinda creepy how you guys know all of this stuff lol

StapleButter are you thinking about implementing a full screen feature in the future?

Heh, was playing some U.N. Squadron, and during gameplay, I had to do something, so I paused it and put my 3DS off the the side. A little after, I thought I heard something, but dismissed it. Once I was done with what I needed to do, I went back to the game. Unfortunately, it had froze in the pause scenario.
