The 'timing' branch Aug 7th 2018, by Arisotura |
In the meantime, I figured I'd give this a try. Basic idea is that emulating timings with reasonable accuracy will require emulating the ARM9 caches. I want to see if I can emulate those without completely killing performance. If I pull it off, there'll be several benefits: * much more accurate timings, fixing games that do weird things * homebrew developers using melonDS wouldn't fall into the typical 'forgot to flush/invalidate cache' pitfall that reveals itself when testing on hardware * if we take it even further, we can emulate the MPU (memory protection unit), which means emulating crashes I guess that if I manage to get it going, there will be a sorta beta release so I can get feedback about this, whether it's killing performance, etc... |

awesome I wonder if it would run better at a low end computer though. :/ mine sort of lags and I really like this emulator. wish you luck. |

Hello, is there a way to turn off sound for MelonDs? |

Hopefully the better timings mean that local multiplayer in Mario Kart DS won't bork out as soon as you try to join a game! ...unless that's something actually caused by inaccuracies in the local wifi emulation, in which case it obviously wouldn't... |

I hope some games which requires timing plus reverse engineering to make it almost works! |

I hope the next version of melonDS fixes the blue screen error that prevents wifi trading in the pokemon games. |

I doubt this will fix wifi related things. |
