@Dodain47 Could you verify if monkey ball junior still works with the master? It seems to be broken on the sound fifo branch, but if it's broken on the master too, it isn't related to that.

Okay, I found the problem. I forgot to write back a value to a dma register.

Huh? This is very strange, Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 3 worked very well for me. Did you make clean before building? And could you try the older version of devkitarm too?

I tried again and cleaned the Version before building. It doesn´t help. Which Version of devkitarm should i use?

 

[Gericom]

R41 iirc. I'll upload a build later. It might also be related to the dldi driver of your card or something. Maybe it does strange things with interrupts and stuff. It's annoying that cards don't simply all use the same commands and that I can't control what the dldi code does.

Okay. I have switched to Devkitarm R41, cleaned and build a Version for testing. I still get the same Results.


Could you please test this Build if it works for you?

@Dodain47 Hmm, after all the sound in donkey kong country doesn't work for me anymore either. I think I broke something after I tested it, because I had it working perfectly before. I am gonna look into it

Edit: Found the problem. I was appearently accidentally still acknowledging all ds interrupts when any other interrupt was acknowledged. I thought I had cleared the bit for the arm7-arm9 irq already. I'll commit it later today
