Are you the same guy that was posting in the NDS4DROID page back in the day? i remember someone with a name similiar to yours posting there, i followed that page religiously, and i think i found u later on Drastic forums too ehehe
Yep, that was me! I was the guy who figured out why the Pokémon games were locking up on nds4droid [emoji14] I was also a moderator on the DraStic forums, though I haven't been there in a while...
I've tried DeSmuME through Linux on my Switch and while it runs faster than DeSmuME-NX, it still doesn't run fullspeed in a lot of cases. Hardware rendering will help, but I think what we really need is a JIT.
Great job! lolAlright, here's a "final" build of melonDS. Since the last build I posted, I've converted everything to SDL2, and added sound and a basic file browser. The file browser freezes when entering an empty directory (not that I bothered adding a way to back out of directories anyways!) and for some reason the X and Y buttons seem to have broken after I switched input handling to SDL2 (did they work in the previous build?). It's still slower than DeSmuME, which is why I'm not bothering to fix that stuff, and also why I decided not to make a new thread for it. It was a fun learning experience for me to make this, and it was actually a lot easier than I anticipated! If you have some programming knowledge and are interested in learning to port emulators, check it out on my GitHub here. I forked and built directly off of the official melonDS repo, so you can easily see the changes I made to the project. Another advantage of this is that, if development of melonDS were to (hopefully!) continue, it would be extremely easy for me to update the Switch port without even touching the code. Anyways, play around with my build if you want. I think SDL2 is more stable than directly using libnx functions? I haven't had the emulator crash my system once. If anyone is interested I can make a DeSmuME port with SDL2 as well. Or I might just do it anyways for fun.
I'm still using libnx, but I'm using the SDL2 library on top of it to handle display, input, etc. The advantages are that it's a lot more flexible and makes porting easier, especially when the desktop UI already uses it. A good example of this is sound output for melonDS. I literally copy/pasted code from the desktop UI and it just works! I also find it's more stable.
nice work.. it work on 5.1.0 but game is slow but great work keep it up
