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

[the_randomizer]

So just because there's no CSND access, suddenly Ninjhax is useless? Flawless logic there. >_>
I'll start digging into the DSP shiz after 1.2 is released.

I came to that conclusion because emulators without sound, that are run via the hack, aren't as enjoyable, see. That's merely my opinion, and therefore, there'd be no real incentive to get a New 3DS. That is all. If there will eventually be workarounds, then great. I don't know anything about programming, the 3DS' inner workings, etc, as such, I shall remain silent on the matter. My apologies for making that assumption.

Keep in mind that eventually the DSP will be reversed and usable. CSND isn't meant to be used the way we're using it, so it's more of a temporary solution than anything else.

See: above post - There will be sound, DSP will be reverse-engineered.

Um, no, that won't be necessary. Just...read post 922. Really not that hard lol.

Question: What are the limitation on file names?
Like is there a char limit, or no special characters/spaces?

Sound isn't a huge problem for me at the moment as I can either use the normal 3DS XL, or, as is more common, I use the n3DS when I am in bed before going to sleep, mainly for playing Tetris on Gameyob or SMW in BlargSnes, but always have a Podcast on the go via my headphones, but thought it worth mentioning in case anyone was interested.

@Staple, good to hear the sound will eventually come, once DSP is RE'd, there's no rush though, those of us without GW or similar cards have waited a while for HB, sure a little longer won't kill us

or you could just run the leaked cfw and install cubic ninja as a eshop title....seeing as you already own the game

erm, don't you need to have a GW card to install it, or at least a DS Flash cart etc?
I was quite adept at doing stuff on the PSP from cfw 2.71 onwards, but from what I have seen, messing around with the cfw for this looks a little harder / not Mac OS X friendly.

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

wait what? i though mode 7 didnt work at all? i am using the unofficial build from 3dbrew the one w/sound and mode 7 isnt working at all
so you are saying that the new build from piratesephiroth has both sound and mode7 working?

yeah just a NDS flashcard that works on 4.x....they are pretty cheap.....anyways its an option if you cant pick up another copy of cubic ninja

.....but yeah its a bit off a pain in the arse setting it up

Yes, that one has both working.

261 characters. That's the limit of the FS API. (and also much more than the screen can fit, heh)

As for special characters and whatnot, the limits are probably just those imposed by FAT filesystems.


Mode 7 does work, but the emulator uses frameskip because for now it's a software fallback. Although even with that it's able to reach fullspeed.

Oh, maybe the 1.19 build didn't have mode 7 yet.

So I tried to run blargSnes for the first time
It would freeze my 3DS
Then I tried redownloading it and now it worked but after I quit a game it kept making this clicking sound that persisted every game. I tried to quit but i got 3DS "An error has occurred" screen and had to shut it off

the best way to quit the emulator is probably getting to the rom selection menu and hitting the 'X' in the top right corner

Usually if I quit blargsnes it crashes
Sometimes it doesn't but when i open anything it crashes

Well I can't say anything about the homebrew launcher version but the CIA version always quits fine if I exit it via the 'X' close buton.

New bleeding-edge unsupported git build. Slightly tested. .3dsx only.

what is that feature? Just curious Thanks for the build, I will give it a try.

 

[weatMod]

the piratesepieroth works great, the only game i can't get working is super ghouls and ghosts ,

Super Metroid works fine for me.
