Azahar v2124.3 (3DS) brings back .3ds file extension support

“This update re-enables support for the .3ds extension, which was previously removed in Azahar’s initial release.

We previously made this change as a clear motion to distance ourselves from the mass piracy that lead to the closure of Yuzu and Citra, however, we have now determined that this change is causing more harm than good.

We’ve noticed that the removal of the .3ds extension has caused unnecessary fragmentation in the 3DS emulation community. This led to the creation of dubiously safe forks, to which a portion of the Azahar userbase migrated. These forks used unsafe deployment practices, presented licensing concerns, and confused users as to whether the forks were part of the upstream Azahar project. These circumstances created an unhealthy open-source development environment, and we don’t believe that this is in the best interest of the 3DS emulation scene.

Given that the removal of the .3ds extension was originally an act of project philosophy rather than a technical change, we don’t want this decision to overshadow the very real leaps which have been made in Azahar over the last year. Because of this, we have decided that it’s for the best of everyone that we revert the change.

It is important to note that support for encrypted ROMs is still disabled; This will not change for the foreseeable future. Unlike the .3ds extension, which is a matter of project philosophy, encrypted ROMs still present actual legal challenges that we do not want to take on.

We have decided to publish this change in its own Azahar release to avoid the change overshadowing additions made in the future 2125 update.

We hope that this change will help to bring the 3DS emulation community closer together.”

I though it would be a good time to share an update on the little PS1 emulator I've been working on. It's getting there! :robot_grin:

At the moment, the drawing timing is now working correctly (vsync/vblank sort of fixed). Only a handful of polygon primitives have been implemented. Enough to get a result. Texture stretching isn't correct yet (hence a duplicated copy of the logo at the bottom) and the texture palette. Blitting isn't 100% correct on what’s implemented. Oh and the flipped view port.

CPU is 98% done. The virtual memory devices still need a bit of work. Only parts of the DMA, timers, interrupts and GPU have some functionality (and cdrom?).

Yeah there's still quite a few things left to-do. But progress is still progress. It's been the challenge I need right now to push my skill set in multiple directions. :blobhaj_witch:

Of interest is a view of the boot sequence orange and yellow diamond (missing elements) on a light grey background with a reverse and flipped Sony logo that's been duplicated.

если установить операционную систему Android в виртуальную машину, она (операционная система) будет работать быстрее чем в эмуляторе? ведь, как я понимаю, эмулятор — это программная прослойка, которая добавляет лишних тормозов, а виртуальная машина просто выделяет имеющиеся ресурсы. #emulator #vm #? #Android

I was delighted to discover today that there's a test suite of sorts for the PS1. :robot_grin:

Loaded up the some of the CPU test binaries into the emulator and saved the results (via the Zig testing tool).

Not a bad result :blobhaj_witch: with these being the only failing tests (so far), for something I haven't written tests for. (it's on the todo list and still is despite having these binaries available).
