Homebrew [Release] Bread Box (C64 Emulator)

[spinal_cord]

I think I just figured out what the problem is... The only thing I can think of that would affect the cia and not the 3dsx is... (back in a sec)...

Needs a DSP dump, see first post.

And on the PAL vs NTSC debate, I'm emulating a PAL C64, if you don't like it, don't use it.

I had the dspfirm.cdc file already in the folder / 3ds. The program (CIA version) starts, but crashes when opening any disk image and selecting a file to load. I copied the dumped file also to the SD root and /c64. What am I doing wrong ?

 

[kenseiden]

I can also confirm that it still crashes even with dspfirm.cdc present just as Muxi says.

 

[spinal_cord]

Then were stuck, I can't get it to crash on my 3ds. I can't think what the problem might be at all.

CIA works great for me (O3DS XL on 10.7 EmuNAND)
Most games work flawlessly, only in my former favorite game Paradroid sprite collisions are not happening most of the times and the sound has a strange noise ...
But apart from that ... great work
If you are planning on working on the software some more, I would have some feature requests though

 

[Muxi]

is it possible that the problem with the cia-version has to do with a9lh and/or with the 3DS-hardware ?
My system is N3DS XL with CFW Luma3Ds and Sysnand 10.7, no emunand.
On O3DS it seems to work.

 

[Badda]

I'm using O3DS XL with A9LH and Aureinand booting into 11.0 EmuNAND, SysNAND on 9.2
The emulator CIA works great

 

[kenseiden]

That does sound like that the CIA crashes might be related to an N3DS issue if CIA builds seem to work fine on O3DS; I'm on N3DS 11.0 Luma3DS Emunand, no A9LH.

 

[Muxi]

I´m confused. On my second N3DS with the same system configuration it works. The only difference between the two systems is the SD-Card. One has a size of 64GB, the other 128gb. both are from the manufacturer SanDisk. On the N3DS with 128gb it works. I look after times whether the two prefs.inis are identical...

Ok.. now it works. I don`t know why, but the problem was the prefs.ini.

 

[Muxi]

I've experimented a little with the prefs.ini. if the path assignments as indicated are as they should be (c64/games) crashes the program at the moment from when a file to be loaded from a disk-image. I change the path to c63/games, then it works, although the path assignment does not exist. In addition, I must always start from the root in the selection of image-files.
What could that be ?

 

[spinal_cord]

Starting from the root is normal, I haven't added the option to save the current location. Although within the emulator session, it should start from the last folder.
As for the c63/games thing, I have no idea how that is even in there. There was a typo early in development but currently no reference to c63 anywhere in the source at all.

Give this version a try, can't remember what I changed in it, but it might be better.

is the version from 06.01.2016? The problem is still there. I need to rename the path to /c63/games in the prefs.ini, then it works.

[spinal_cord]

In that case, for now, leave

DrivePath9 = /c63/games/
DrivePath10 = /c63/games/
DrivePath11 = /c63/games/

like that. I can't think how it would be doing anything at all though. There are no checks for /c63/ at all anywhere in the source.

*update

I have added the latest source to the first post. If anyone wants to take a look and find out why the cia crashes unless drives 9,10 and 11 are set to /c63/games/ (even though I can't find any reference to that folder anywhere in the source, please be my guest).

Discovered the cause, turns out the /c63/games/ was just a red herring. It turns out that currently you cant give it a valid folder name because it will try to mount that folder as a .d64 image. To avoid crashing, just make sure that drives 9,10 and 11 have invalid paths for now.

@spinal_cord

Can I ask two things of you please?

(1) How is your work on this great emulator going?

(2) Could you update your github account with your latest release so it could be added to the homebrew channel for easy updating?

 

[snejk]

Can u add the CRT support? I guess it's the only way to play the Prince of Persia c64.

 

[BothyBhoy]

if any of you guys fancy a challenge. I would love to see a CPC464 Emulator...........out about the same time as c64......but had some great games too......thx guys....

There's this - it has a gbatemp thread somewhere too iirc. It's a cpc emulator but only supports one game currently, you could ask the author to expand on it, or see if you could hack in a different game.

Hello,

I use "BreadBox.3dsx" and the specified folder is / c63 / games / I tried to put a game in the specified file but it does not work, I have 3 questions:

Where to find games? On which site ?
Where do I put the games?
What type of file must be the games?

Put the games anywhere, they must be .prg,.d64 or .t64 and you can get them from "the internet "
