Homebrew [WIP] 3DeSmume (DS emulator for 3DS)

[Deleted User]

You guys should make a video running yoshi's island, not mario party.

Would you like me too with my capture card?

Ok explain me please.
Why N64 emulator doesn't exist but NDS yes?

If you want to, go ahead. It will be a much better showcase.

made a compatiblitility list for o3DS http://walloftext.co/3DeSMuMe#148,2

Added Pokemon Dash to your list

Whats the difference? Does it just run better?

If it only runs better I'll wait until there are more features added/progress is made for a progress update.

Mario party doesn't do anything, Yoshi's Island you can actually see something happening.

NDS runs natively in the 3DS while N64 does not

Though in this case, 3DeSmume isn't running the NDS games natively.

 

[nooby89]

Like all other console exclude the NDS.

I think it's because the DS has a very similar architecture to that of the 3DS, so emulation will be much easier. PSP had a similar architecture to that of the N64 I believe, which is why it could emulate N64 games pretty well.

NDS is a better starting point for an emulator since the architecture is similar to the 3DS (Both 32 bit). N64 is 64 bit and completely different so all instructions have to be interpreted to my understanding

The real reason is there isn't a n64 core ready to be ported. And I doubt if this emulator would go any further than simply being ported. there are actually few people working on 3ds specific emulators.

The only core that could be ported that I know of is mupen64 and I think pj64 is heavily tied to Windows last I checked.

As for his emulator, even with a new DeSmume core I expect that this will need a lot more work to be considered usable for a lot of games. 2D performance might be good but I really wonder how well the 3DS will handle the overhead. It's certainly interesting and a good learning experience though.

@MasterFeizz I'm looking at citro3d and trying to get a good idea of what best practices for it are. Would you recommend drawing to an off screen buffer first? Does citro3d have a buffer swapping method? I can't find an API documentation.

I may not have time to work on this myself but I'd like to give @shutterbug2000 some guidance where I can.

I think someome messed with the site. It only says "This is pointless like that. Make a real wiki article."

 

[Inorizushi]

Like I said before, no need for a compatibility list right now.

 

[Deleted User]

Its a good start!

 

[Psi-hate]

@MasterFeizz,
@shutterbug2000 and I are having issues compiling, always getting: "relocation to invalid address". Any ideas?

 

[Inorizushi]

OK I'm fine with a compatibility list.
But could you at least make it a spreadsheet holy fuck

I made an account on the wall of text site and claimed the wall
I'll edit it as more games are tested and are proven to work then I'll take the list to a wiki page.
