Homebrew GameYob 3DS - GB/C emu

[HtheB]

It don't detect.gba title and where To put the two bIos file?
I'm using cia version

Maybe because this is a gameboy emulator, not a gameboy advance emulator?....

You can put the bios file wherever you want it. You can browse through your files when picking the bios file.

I noticed that if you set up a Game Boy BIOS and then quit, the next time you run the emulator, when you pick a game, the 3DS crashes, forcing you to turn off the system. After looking at the gameyob.ini file, I found that the emulator has put the Game Boy Color BIOS as both BIOS files. After changing the info in the ini file, I was able to use the emulator again.

Games like Mickey's Dangerous Chase, Talespin and others (like DuckTales and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle) don't have coloured palettes (as like with the original NDS version).

Also... the paddle in Alleyway is still broken!!!

Noted.

This should be fixed now.

I have a question. Would incrasing sound buffer help to fix crackling? or is it going to cause desync?

It'd probably reduce the crackling, but to increase it to the point where crackling isn't an issue would likely cause horrible desync.

What's the deal with the sound crackling anyway? Isn't the 3DS running at 60hz? I know GameBoy runs at 59.7Hz... Is that the reason why? If so how does VC does it? I imagine they just sync everything to 60Hz right?

This is even more complicated. Sound is handled with CSND service, which isn't optimal for sound streams. BlargSnes works perfectly fine since it relies upon a precise timing, but I think Gameyob can not do it yet since people who worked on it hasn't found a better method to get a precise sound timing with CSND buffers.
For what I understood, I might be wrong though.

BlargSnes have it's own problems with sound, though I dunno if it come of the new sound quality. Most games which don't work are because the SPC (SNES sound) is not perfectly synched.

For example, Zelda 3 was working with 1.2, but not with 1.3 (which is where the new sound got implemented if I'm right).

Personally, I don't think I heard any crackling (at least, nothing enough big to say "wow, the sound is pretty bad" as I know GameBoy sound isn't perfect) so it probably doesn't impact a lot of people.

But I never use speakers, so it might also be why I don't really hear them a lot.

For example, Zelda 3 was working with 1.2, but not with 1.3 (which is where the new sound got implemented if I'm right).

That was due to changes in the SPC timing, wasn't related to the sound changes that I know of.

Don't know if this only affects SteveIce's version but whenever I go to the home menu (using CIA) and come back the top screen goes black and stays black. I can save state and reload just fine (I have to restart GameYob) but still a little annoying.

Which is why I suppose the sound change might have modified the SPC timing (if it take more time for example).

It's a known bug not fixed yet. For now, just need to avoid going to the home menu and then go back to the emulator.

The emulator now refuses to load when it tries to read gameyob.ini, works fine on first boot though.

Although... it seems to be a common problem as of late, when something is either added or changed with regards to the settings.

Did you fix the gbbiospath in your config again before launching with the update?

Also, can you send me your INI to test with?

 

[LWares87]

I did fix the gbbiospath and all i got was a black screen. Then i deleted the setting file (gameyob.ini) and redid all my settings, restarted and then got the same result.

I've sent you my settings file anyway...

Should be fixed now, sorry for all the trouble. It was a pretty silly issue too.

Just thought of a silly feature you could add for shits and giggles if you felt like it: use the 3d depth slider to simulate the contrast dial on the original gameboy, to vary the degree of yellow/green/blackness in mono mode.

I like the idea that would be cool.

That sound neat, I decided to give it a try.

This is just to get a feel for it, it doesn't discriminate against color or mono and there are no options to disable. But this is just for shits and giggles.

Nice, will give it a go later.
