BCSTM-Player v2.0.0 by NPI-D7

The file browser only lists .bcstm files. It plays ADPCM, PCM8 and PCM16 tracks with up to eight channels, and tracks that don't loop play through to the end. A file inspector shows what's inside a file, and opens BCWAV sounds too, though it can't play those yet. The menus are in English and German.

Without a DSP dump on the SD card there's no sound.

The author's known bugs: it runs at 30fps on an original 3DS, the licence screen runs off the edge, and you can get stuck in the licence menu. tobid7 wrote it. cheuble made the original BCSTM-Player, and some of that decoding code is still in there.

After almost 3 years, it's time for a new big update.

As all the Updates before only fixed Logical issues with the filebrowser and some visual bugs, it was time to focus on the file loading/decoding and playing code.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>And finally it is time to mention @cheuble, the creator of the Original BCSTM-Player which took advantage of ~~Freeshops~~ BCSTM Playing Code. This code is still kinda used in the BCSTMV2 decoder which i left in the codebase for historical reasons.

Last words

If you encounter any issues (including crashes or just bugs), report them in an issue please.

If you want to want to have your language supported as well, feel free to open a pullrequest with the json of your language. But keep in mind that i will remove some strings in some cleanup commit

I will get on them when I have time but for now i need to step back from coding. I always do too much projects and other stuff at once and it is finally time to take a break.

And finally:

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone 🎄
