Homebrew GameYob 3DS - GB/C emu

[froggestspirit]

Thank you. I'm a little new to this, though I've messed around with sound on GBA, but that was simple due to the built in Gameboy sound support

I might mess with it myself since I have a 4 day weekend. When I was testing CitrAGB though the crackling came mostly from too small buffers.

You'd have better luck at it than me. in the past, the most i did with the ds version was to dump logs while playing that separates code from data, making the games easier to disassemble

The DS and 3DS versions seem pretty comparable in terms of speed, compatiblity and even sound to the untrained eye like mine. In general, even the audio sounds perfectly fine.

The most obvious differences are the scaling and SGB border support and thus I use the DS version on my DSi XL for this reason, but I have been impressed by how close the 3DS version is even from its first public release.

OK, so I finally got the chance to take a peek at GameYob's audio code, I think I might have fixed some of the popping issues in some games (but not all it seems). I submitted a PR to Steveice10 for now, although in any case we could also just merge Steveice10's repository into Drenn's just fine. I'll probably keep looking to figure out why it still kinda pops in places.

Maybe taking a look on blargsnes code would help? DiscostewSM fixed popping with this emulator.

New build! Fixed the issue where it would show a black screen on startup, partially fixed sound popping (thanks to shinyquagsire23!), and added a new banner image/sound!

AWESOME!
Thanks for the new build.

Could you post a video showing off the new banner and sound?

Also, I think this is worth mentioning...
You should include/post the source code for the project.

Don't ask me the exact reason why, but it is related to license and legal issues (GPL I think).
Since it is a fork of another person's source code, I think you are somehow obligated to do so.

Don't want to sound harsh or anything, but just to help you guys out.

By providing a simple GitHub link might be enough.

It's already on GitHub as a fork of the original. https://github.com/Steveice10/GameYob

I believe that this is the commit you're referring to?

Oh good then!
And yeah, that link is the official commit for the Audio of blargSNES.

It's on Github, no worries. I believe it's at http://github.com/Steveice10/GameYob or something like that.

Wait I am seeing that the GitHub is referencing the DS version, not the 3DS one, am I right?

So the features listed there are not yet fully implemented, like Full Screen Stretching and other things.
In short words, the GitHub could be confused with the DS version and not the 3DS port.

That's great ! Can we expect full-screen at some point?

That's what I'm really looking forward to.

The readme is simply outdated. His repo has the source: https://github.com/Steveice10/GameYob/tree/master/platform/3ds

You rule. Thanks so much for continuing GameYob's development!

Exact! Could this be a good pattern to follow for sound buffers? That works great on blargsnes.

Hm, I'm looking at this, and I think I might have made a mistake in my implementation. I'll probably revert my commits and see how I can do it a bit better.

To any user of both the DS and 3DS versions...
Exactly WHAT features are missing from the 3DS version?

I am curious about that.
What is there in the DS version that the 3DS version still doesn't have?
