thank you!
which hax version was this ? 2.5 ?
Oh right sorry, currently 2.1. Had to downgrade in order to figure out what was going on with the stutter/lag/vertical tearing thing some of us are seeing. And if you don't hear it enough, thanks for all the awesome work on this!

Doh, I forgot I meant to ask you if you had a chance to reply, but did anything change in how things are rendered to the screen at all between the 10/2 build and the 10/15 build? Sorry I don't have a smaller window there, but those are the two builds I am comparing between. Some of us are seeing a vertical tearing effect on the left side of the screen in various emulators (for me in CatSFC, haven't tested others). Its noticeable big time in the Metroid video I posted earlier. The thing is, its not present in the 10/2 build, and not everyone is seeing it apparently in newer ones. Figured best to get some insight from the man himself!

I can't really reproduce the tearing issues you have, so no, I have no idea what is causing them at the moment. I can't test catsfc since it doesn't run fullspeed here, but all other cores that reach fullspeed don't show any kind of tearing.

can someone run this on n3DS, either hax 2.1 or 2.5, and then post a screenshot? (I need one for each hax version).

Ok thanks for checking. Any reason you can think of why newer builds would work differently in that regard than older ones? If I had moved to a different 3DS during that time I could say hardware minute differences maybe mattering, but this is on the same system.

@Ardend I can't really say at the moment.

thank you all ! I updated the test based on the info provided, this will hopefully be the last one and would answer most questions I'm currently having regarding memory on n3DS.
only a test on 2.5 is necessary this time:

Ok thanks @aliaspider! It doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, and even seemed to correct itself for @Slasher115, so I'm sure its something that will resolve itself as more and more improvements are added. Thanks again for all the hard work!

After updating from Ninjhax 2.1 to 2.5, no build of the PCE emulator will work (seems others are having the same issue). I'd like to go back to 2.1 until this issue is fixed, but can't seem to do it. I have the 2.1 Qrcode saved, but scanning it just crashes my 3DS, now that the host only has 2.5. How are some of you downgrading to 2.1? (btw, I have a New 3DS XL with firmware 9.0.0-20U)

All available cia versions tested with GS2 the lost age.

Releases before the 10/17 have the infinite loop on GS2 (otherwise running at 59 FPS)

Releases from the 10/17 to the 10/20 (included) curiously have no infinite loop and no crashing, but run at approximately 27-30 FPS! Also these versions are incredibly talkative on the bottom screen.

Releases after the 10/20 are freezing/crashing on GS2 (and GS1 is now also broken) - both running at 59 FPS before the crash

Tested on gPSP core, cia build, 9.0 N3DS using Rxmode (Rxtools latest Lavanoid nightly)
I honestly have no experience with RxTools, I'm using GW Emunand.
You're using emunand, not sysnand, right?

About DSP stuff : just to be clear, I can use any game, they all include the DSP right ?

I can't see any tearing issues in SMAS+SMW or Super Metroid (the only games I've tried) through CATSFC. I do see it in the CATSFC+ core however, along with jerky framerate every so often. I've tried messing with some settings but nothing fixed it.

I'm using the 10/27 build and I'm on hax 2.5

NXEngine has worked for me since the very first nightlies back in September. It takes a while to load, though, but I can confirm that it is working as of the 2015-10-27 nightly.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
