Homebrew blargSnes -- SNES emulator for the 3DS (WIP)

[Onion_Knight]

If I'm building from source and I get this:

Makefile:11: *** "Please set CTRULIB in your environment. export CTRULIB=<path to>libctru". Stop.

I have the current DevKitARM installed with CTRULIB. I've also downloaded the CTRULIB from sources and compiled it. Do I want this to use the library in DevKitARM or Do I want this to point at the libctru.a I've compiled?

EDIT:

I used the ctrulib.a that I built and it successfully compiled.

You need to add CTRULIB to your PATH?

No. He needs to set the environment variable CTRULIB to the path to CTRULIB...

Thanks StapleButter for such an awesome emu

It called for it. However, the

I did it and it compiled after I also downloaded aemstro_as.py as it was also needed. It compiled however, when I try to run it, the top screen just keeps flashing. The menu works and I can navigate to a game, and start it. I hear the music on ALTTP but the screen keeps flashing. Evidently, I don't have everything set up correctly yet.

Just to make sure, you compiled from this branch of ctrulib, correct?

Also, I'm not sure if it's possible to get this far otherwise, but make sure you're using Python 3, as aemstro requires it.

Correct, I used the source from smealum's github, downloaded aemsgtro from smealum's github, and am using Python 3 since it was built for it. I do have 2.7 installed as well, which I use for FileInsight, but I verified that aemstro launched from Python 3.

For further bug reporting, I'd also I'd like to report that Super SF2 has weird glitches on fei long stage. Also characters kind of have glitchy graphics when standing still (happens in SF2 Turbo as well). Scratchy sounds in Megaman 8 as well. Haven't tried the English translated version but I'm sure it's the same for that one too.

 

[Myria]

What is it about the homebrew loader method and Gateway loading that prevents sound from working? ExHeader issues?

 

[Arisotura]

In a nutshell. Nintendo wants commercial games to use the DSP.

You mean Megaman 7?

 

[Seraphiel]

I think he means Rockman & Forte

 

[ShadowOne333]

I didn't know Megaman 8 had a SNES port.

 

[davhuit]

Bug reports are always welcome if they're about the last official release.

I started to make a huge list of compatibility but unfortunately, I had the whole goodset on the SD card and as I said, it just take forever to move in the roms list.

When we will be able to move from letter to letter and/or page to page, you cant count on me to try every game and list games that don't work/boot at all

 

[DiscostewSM]

Modes 2 and 4 have been supported for a while, but implementation of Offset-Per-Tile wasn't there......so, I tried my hand at it.

On the existing builds, his head and body don't move because they utilize offset-per-tile rendering to make it warp or extend. Took me a good long while to try and understand how it works, but I got it somewhat. As you can see at the top under the HUD, there are some misplaced tiles, and at the bottom of the body, a couple of tiles are not placed correctly. The intro of Chrono Trigger with the wavy text also uses OPT and works, as well as Tetris Attack having smooth scrolling of the tiles (but the bottom of the stack has the same problem as shown above). I've only dealt with 8x8 tile rendering, not 16x16, nor can I recall any game other than those 3 that utilize OPT, so if anyone has a list of games that use OPT, please link them so I may try them out (except for anything that uses Mode 6, since that isn't implemented).

 

[piratesephiroth]

I think he means Rockman & Forte

Rockman & Forte looks a lot like Mega Man 8

 

[Seraphiel]

Rockman & Forte looks a lot like Mega Man 8

Yap, same layout and sprites and even two identical robot masters.

It's already implemented, more or less. You can press Left/Right.

I guess I should have mentioned it in the changelog.


DiscostewSM hah, not bad! I'll have to look into that shit eventually

 

[lisreal2401]

This is off topic, but what is CSND? Aside from homebrew, what applications use it and why is it there in the first place? Additionally, have you looked into the strange issue I posted about DokiDoki Adventure a few weeks back? That one seems so odd.
