Homebrew Problem with FLAC music file playback on Moonshell 2.10

[Kittyhawk]

The music files were ripped from CD and encoded in FLAC compression level 8 (max compression). They played perfectly fine on my PC but on my NDS Lite (running moonshell 2.10), there were occasional skips or short high pitched noises during playback

. Freezing sometimes happened when fast forwarding/backwarding a FLAC music file.

I've tried the exact same songs in mp3 format (224kbps CBR) and FLAC compression level 5 (the default) and WAV (no compression) and there were none of the problems mentioned above.

It seems that Moonshell 2.10 has a problem with music files encoded in FLAC at high compression levels. Is there any workaround for this issue (other than encoding at a lower FLAC compression level)?

no and no. nds CPU power is very low.

EDIT: Even FLAC files at compression level 5 are not spared playback problems I mentioned, after listening longer on my NDS Lite.

no and no. nds CPU power is very low.

So I'll just have to wait for a future version of Moonshell in which FLAC playback is improved?

Moonshell has been finished, but try to convert the songs with iTunes to AAC!

No more newer versions of Moonshell coming out?

If there are newer versions in development, I hope they resolve the FLAC playback issues (the same as high framerate and bitrate videos playback problems in the past).

Exactly!

Moonlight, the developer quit, don't expect any more official moonshell versions

 

[insanepotato]

say whut!? due to using moonshell to launch comercial roms?

i remmeber reading that moonshell is supposed to be GPL?
source code availiable?

I believe the source is somewhere but I dunno

Why would you want to listen to FLAC's from your DS? The quality would sound the same as 320kbs

Or try TTA, which uses less CPU
