So i can just use printGUI in main.c? I mean printGUI + screenRender? I don't need to do it twice?

nop90 Alright this is my main.c now:
It prints what it has to print then it crashes back to the homescreen... This is the 3dmoo log:
Code:
#include <3ds.h>
#include "app.h"
#include "input.h"
#include "rendering.h"
int main()
{
// Initialize services
srvInit();
aptInit();
hidInit(NULL);
gfxInit();
// Main loop
while (aptMainLoop())
{
//As nop90 suggested
getFB();
//Gets input (keys and touch)
getInput();
//Prints the GUI
printGUI();
//Do stuff
app();
//Jumps to the required mode (menu or paint) or exit
if (input & KEY_START || mode==5)
break;
// Flush and swap framebuffers
gfxFlushBuffers();
gfxSwapBuffers();
//Wait for VBlank
gspWaitForVBlank();
}
// Exit services
gfxExit();
hidExit();
aptExit();
srvExit();
return 0;
}It prints what it has to print then it crashes back to the homescreen... This is the 3dmoo log:

I can't fix the same issue i'm having from days, so i'm trying to thing another way to use mic.
What is control voice used in mic sample? ( https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/blob/master/examples/mic/source/main.c )
How much bytes does ReadAudioData read in a single call?
Technically, what is sharedmem buffer?

nop90 Could you check my code: https://github.com/AlbertoSONIC/3DS_Paint I updated the repo. (Ignore the commented part inside app.c, i need it to move stuff)
ok, i'll do it later.
Edit:
I looked the code fastly, later iI'll check it. But I noticed that you are using my old drawing functions that I wrote for the first barebone homebrew experiments a year ago (in Te3DS for example).
Now you can use std c libraries. For example you can clear (to black, or white) the screen with a single memset call. I'll give you some hint in PM as soon as I have time (maybe tomorrow)

How does linearFree works?
Is it possible to free only a first part of a buffer allocated with linearAlloc?
Is it possible to free only a first part of a buffer allocated with linearAlloc?
AFAIK no if you don't want to rewrite the memory allocator functions.
With linearRealloc you can resize a memory block mantaining only the first part. But usually in C it's tricky: the allocator allocates new memory, copies the first part in the new allocated memory, than frees the old block and finally returns the new memory pointer
You could do somethin similar allocating new memory and copying the last part. Then you can free the original memory.

Guys could someone tell me what's the best way to print a text? 'cause i've been using this code since the beginning:
But the ctrulib example uses another way:
Which is way cleaner and shorter. But is it better? I mean, is it fully functional like the old one? Can it print in different colors? Can i choose where to write it? (top or bottom screen)?
Code:
sprintf(buffer, " CLEAN ");
drawString(buffer, 1, 31, 255, 255, 255, screenTopLeft, GFX_LEFT);
drawString(buffer, 1, 31, 255, 255, 255, screenTopRight, GFX_LEFT);But the ctrulib example uses another way:
Code:
printf("\x1b[15;19HHello World!");Which is way cleaner and shorter. But is it better? I mean, is it fully functional like the old one? Can it print in different colors? Can i choose where to write it? (top or bottom screen)?
Printf support was only recently added to ctrulib, so either way will work. Printf doesn't look the prettiest though since it's meant for basic console output.
The printf function added recently is weird.
. What does "\x1b[15;19H" mean? Is it something standard? I've never seen printf functions like that. Can't we find a way to avoid writing this weird part everywtime?
Code:
printf("\x1b[15;19HHello World!");

0x1B = Esc (escape in ASCII table)
here are the escape sequences:
http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/dev/ansi.html
http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm (VT100)
printf"Esc[x;yH
moves cursor to line x, column y
You can use it to set the colors too (using m instead of H)
I don't know if you can use multiple escape sequence on the same printf
"Esc[x;yHEsc[x;...;zmText to display" ?
or use two different printf, former without any text?

Yeah but you have to write a decoder for them.
Recently, we ported stb_truetype by Sean Barrett to lpp-3ds. We're still working to optimize it but it's fully working.

3DS Banner Maker
Create custom banner and icon files for your 3ds homebrews. Today I introduce you to an improved version of SnailFace's Banner Maker made by me! It has many usefull changes:
Screenshot of Popups:
How to use:
- To replace icons: overwrite the .png in the either one of the 'ctpk' folders and click convert.bat to convert the images. Make sure image dimensions are the same as the folder indicates.
- To replace the banner: In the cbmd_banner folder, you have to overwrite the 256x128.png file with an image of your choice. Click convert.bat same as before. Transparency is supported.
- To replace the sound effect: Overwrite the example.bcwav file with one of your choice. .wav to bcwav conversion is not supported at this time.
- To change display text and setting flags: edit the variables in AppData.txt. Further instructions are inside this document.
Dependencies:
- To convert everything to .bin files: simply click BUILD.bat in the 3DS_Banner_Maker folder. Next place place these two files in your 3DSTemplate resource folder and compile as usual
Python 2, PIL Image libray (Python Image Library)
Xcution's CiTRUS application is no longer a dependancy
