Homebrew CitrAGB - 3DS GBA Emulator (WIP)

[daxtsu]

possibility of having CitrAGB as a .CIA as well.

Now this is something that will be quite interesting to see.

 

[hippy dave]

if you have 4.5 sysnand you can just load the vc gba game with pbt

Seriously?! I know you can run dsiware that way, but I'm sure I read at the time that the gba vc didn't work with that method, so I never tried it. Now I've given my old3DS to my lady...

Either way, really happy to see shiny back at work on this, can't wait til it's ready

Can we expect a download link soon? I'm fucking hyped m8 :3

Also I guess other emus could benefit from this breakthrough, any estimation about how PSX emu or MAME would be do-able with such a tool?

This is dynrec using ARM11 kernel to flush icache as opposed to the HB service. The result is full speed CPU emulation, and the possibility of having CitrAGB as a .CIA as well.

That's really good news, thanks for the info btw and good luck, that video looked about perfect to me too

Awesome job, this project is the main reason why I come to this board.

Good luck man. Hoping for a DL link soon.

Nice to see progresses on this emulator! I have a question, maybe you can answer me:
Do you think that a fullscreen option can be done, I mean if it's not too hard to implement?
Good job,shinyquagsire23!

Or at least borders

 

[Psi-hate]

Shiny, do you think you can add support for bigger games like Mother 3? Or does Kernel Mode already support bigger roms?

 

[SLiV3R]

Very nice second video! I would like to test this beauty as everyone else! It seems like you really have figured out a lot of stuff on the 3DS. Existing times

 

[Retr0Capez]

Aaaaand it's good! Changes haven't been pushed yet though because it involves some kernel patching which I'll have to get situated, but it will be up and working momentarily.

Also, it runs at mostly 60fps, sometimes dropping to 50fps due to rendering (still flipping stuff and writing it to the screen in software, which is no good).

nice fan.

OK, finished getting patching in place, not entirely sure if it works 100% on all consoles though. If anyone wants to give it a shot, the new 3dsx is in the main post. One thing to note though, this 3dsx assumes that you have access to SVC 0x7B. To gain access to this SVC, use libkhax, FBI, or anything which uses ARM11 kernel to give access to all SVCs.

Download link is here for those who are willing to test.

FBI can load .3dsx apps?

No, but it runs libkhax once. So you could just open FBI, close it, then open gpsp. I'll probably just bundle in libkhax real quick so the process is more streamlined.

That'd be better.

How is the speed on an old 3DS?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but N3DS and O3DS have the same clock speed. N3DS has 4 CPU cores against 2 of the O3DS, but emulation relies on single-core performance.

TL;DR same speeds.

 

[ubergeek77]

Too bad this is .3dsx only... Cubic Ninja in Gateway mode doesn't want to cooperate right now >.<

 

[shinyquagsire23]

It seems that libkhax uses other methods in order to get SVC access, which prevents it from working. For now it seems only the ARM11 bootstrap test + return will work correctly. I'll still keep trying to get it to work with libkhax though.

Same here. New 3DS, 9.0.0-20E.
