NTR-HR changelog

Fixed unintended pessimization with delta JPEG encoding from some earlier versions.

Increased audio capture buffer size.

Audio capture now use console's audio frame counter for sequence number.

Minor fix for dma handles.

Audio capture (DSP only). Thanks @denzi-gh for the initial implementation!

CSND is not captured, homebrews that use this will not have their sound captured.

Full-width (both eyes or 800px) capture.

Latest NTRViewer-HR is required for utilizing these features.

Added optional lossless mode (need latest NTRViewer-HR).

Tweaks to JPEG delta mode.

Fixed an old regression with multi core job allocation.

Other misc bug fixes.

Mode3:

Further reduced memory usage. Now all downsample options are available in Mode3.

General:

Minor fixes and text clarification.

Change:

Fixed flickering when starting remote play.

Mode3:
Reduced memory usage:

• Game plugins are disabled.
• Downsample (even/odd) is force enabled.

Note:
Some Mode3 games may still not work with remote play due to memory constraints. Frame rate will be low regardless, around 7 FPS on Old 3DS.

Source code:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/refactor1

Change:

Lifted restriction for Old 3DS. You can now try to stream from Old 3DS at very low frame rate.
(Apparently extended memory games won't work due to memory requirement. Not sure why I included mode3 version for this..)

Slight improvement to delta encoding.

Added downsample methods.

Changes:

Fix possible crash if attaching to game fails.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/ntr_bins

Changes:

Add RGB5A1 support, needed by some Virtual Console games. (perhaps)

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/ntr_bins

Changes:

• Improved start up handling code. Should no longer randomly crashes when initializing or when starting remote play.

• Can no longer receiver NFC patch through the network. Use NFC patch option in the remote play menu instead. (Press X+Y to open NTR menu after starting NTR-HR, then choose remote play)

Removed following features:

• Screenshot
• Process dump (you can still use the 3.6 version for this)
• Various debugger commands
• Night color
• Real-time save/load
• (...and maybe a few other stuff I can't remember)

Most features above are also available in Luma3DS' rosalina in better forms.
Real-time save/load doesn't work very well as it has no way of retaining handles across saves. If people have uses for it I can add it back in.

Currently only remote play streaming and plg loading are available.

Note: Currently there's no way to change the CPU state back to low clock or high clock without L2 cache after starting remote play. I should probably put this option back in in case there's an compatibility issue.

Some other logging and error messages display changes. (No more need to connect to each attached process separately with NTRDebugger to see error messages, everything get sent through home menu process by default.)

https://github.com/xzn/BootNTR/tree/ntr_bins

Changes:

Increase lower bound of encoder priority to the default value . Lower nice value causes slowdown anyway.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Synchronization adjustment. Less likely to hang when updating remote play settings.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Minor synchronization adjustment.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

• Fix variable initialized in wrong order
• Use separate thread for screen capture info

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

• Added option to change encoding thread priority (between 0x8 to 0x3f) to avoid slowing down the game and causing audio crackling
• Added optional memcpy method from PabloMK7 NTR 3.6.1 for screen capture
• NTR menu should no longer cause CPP to disengage, or games to hang. Using functions from Luma3DS to pause the game when the menu is open.
• Added a bunch of code from the current libctru to wait for vblank when overlay callback is not available.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Refresh unchanged frames properly when reconnecting.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Changed default options to be more compatible. Should no longer crash with CTRPF plugins (by default)
Added more options to NTR menu for game plugins loading.
Misc change to night shift menu.
_Copied some code from CTRPF for overlay hooking._ (TODO update license)

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Updated Remote Play request packet protocol to allow port number of viewer to be specified.
Used by NTRViewer-HR.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Added an option in the Remote Play menu to capture the previous frame instead of the current one. Can fix staircase artifact if present.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

• Fixed a typo in my previous commit that prevents overlay plugins (and night shift) from working.
• Priority factor 0 now behaves as expected.
• Added an option to disable all screen overlay functions to be compatible with CTRPF-based plugins.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Contains a major change: now use NTR's swap buffer callback to time screen capture if possible. Try the previous version if you are having issues.

• When active, should lead to smoother frames. (Currently there's no indicator if this is active or not. Fallback happens automatically)

Networking fix: a major bug that may cause random frame drops was fixed.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Maybe fix potential regression with home menu plugins (can't find any to test sorry.. do they even exist?)

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Added toggle to menu to disable sys region memory for plugins. For testing purpose only, as many plugins will crash if you use this option.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Fixed a regression where certain games would freeze when closing NTR menu

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Revert some changes that caused many cheat plugins to crash. Unfortunately plugins will hang the launch of next game again for most games

Minor change to menu code, it really shouldn't flicker out of existence now.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Fixed hang on launching another game after attaching a process, or after using a cheat plugin (some hang may be the result of how the plugin is written and likely cannot be fixed in NTR)
Removed intentional delay in UI
Misc stability improvement

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Misc stability improvement when starting NTR and remote play.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

NTR menu no longer flickers in and out of existence

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Fix crash when quality and core count are changed from the menu

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Edit:
Has known issue, use the newer version please.

Changes

Fix auto adjust last encoding core load when skipping frames and when changing core count

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes

Changes

Fix remote play viewer's IP cannot be changed from viewer's side

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes

• Can now start Remote Play from 3DS
• Can now change the number of encoding cores
• Can now update Remote Play viewer's IP if changed
• NFC patch from the menu

BootNTR changes:

• Can now exit first launch by pressing [B]
• First launch config now saves properly
• Version bump

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes

Main change is that duplicate frames (when actual frame rate is lower than encoding speed) are no longer sent.

Reported frame rate in viewer will be lower but frame pacing should hopefully be better.

Changed Remote Play menu so you can no longer start remote play from the menu. Can still change port before viewer is started.

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2

Changes:

Added Remote Play to NTR menu (accessible by pressing X + Y).

Can now change the destination port of viewer in the menu. (In case you want to stream multiple N3DS at the same time with Snickerstream.) Currently the settings aren't saved and need to be changed each time you launch NTR.

Slight stability improvement (fixed a bug where remote play would crash if the network thread is hung for more than one second, say while in the menu).

Source:

https://github.com/xzn/ntr-hr/tree/jpeg2
