    That looks like the problem. Everything worked fine after I deleted the old .ini file.

    Really nice updated version! The scaling probably needs hardware acceleration, but having the SGB colour pallet is a great step forwards!

    I think it SGB backgrounds were working the lack of scaling wouldn't be such a big deal. Indeed, with the DS version on the DSi XL I prefer to play unscaled with the backgrounds anyway.

    Sound with homebrew on the N3DS won't come until the DSP service is reversed. Homebrew currently relies on the simpler and much more basic CSND service, which the N3DS lacks.

    I think that's rather because sound is currently unsupported. Correct me someone if I'm wrong. There's no sound for me using Gateway and the original 3DS.

    Yeah you should get sound on an old3DS if you use .cia or .3dsx, but there's no sound for .3ds

    All the 3DS versions do have CSND.


    The thing is that Ninjhax relies on things from the 3DS browser, and uses its permissions. The old 3DS browser uses CSND, but the new 3DS one was upgraded and uses a custom DSP binary, so no CSND access anymore.

    meh that's fucked up, so the only way to have sound would be through kernel access?

    So, Gateway support (3DS/CIA) for N3DS would make sound works for emulators that use CSND?

    Behind you breathing heavily
    Would it be possible to implement the IR port on the back of the 3ds to enable pokemon trading and other game title IR features.

    Sounds like it'd probably be possible, might try that out sometime in the future.

    I think the original GameYob had some code for wireless connection, although I'm not sure what kind of communication it used.

    Wouldn't it be useless to implement scaling when the 3DS can already display the whole resolution of GB/GBC games? :wtf:

    Except if you talk about a function like the GameBoy Advance, where you could push "R" button to make the screen bigger, but it's wasn't really proportional so not really useful...

    Edit : Okay, I only tested the emulator now and I now understand what you mean about scaling. Emulator use the original GB resolution, when it could make the screen bigger and still keep the good ratio.

    So I tested it a bit more today and it looks pretty good. Can't judge the sound because I tried in on a N3DS and Ninjhax can't get CSND permission, but seems pretty compatible, have classic options (savestate for example).

    The only lacking feature is the scaling (to be able to make the screen bigger, using the full height of the screen, while still keeping the good ratio and maybe a full screen one for people who doesn't care about the ratio at all) because the window looks pretty small compared to the screen resolution.

    But it seem scaling is already in the work (I think I read on a message that there is already a software version now, though it slow down games).

    Very nice work!

    Could a speed hack be used to compensate for the slowdown?

    You can improve it slightly by holding the fast forward button, but it still runs slow. Can't go any faster than the 3DS will let it, I'm afraid.

    It "just" need an hardware render for scaling to fix the speed problem.

    Nice to see anyway that this emulator might be the first one to be completed on 3DS (except better sound and hardware scaling, it's already pretty much perfect), which might motivate people to do some other ones (because even other ones look pretty nice, Snes, NES, GBA, there are still far to be completed).

    Too bad no one seem to care about Sega system though (when you know Genesis could for the firs time be done on a Nintendo system without requiring scaling, that would be pretty amazing!!)

    This emulator ist pretty good already. Thanks to all who made this possible!!
    The only game that is not working for me is Pokemon Pinball. The menu is starting fine but when playing on a table the game resets and shows graphical glitches.
    Has anyone else tested Pokemon Pinball yet??
