N3DS status / feedback

[KingdomXIII]

I downloaded the updated software and I can't even get past the Device Firmware Update this time around. I've redownloaded the drivers and the DirectX installer and still can't get past it. Is there something else I must be doing wrong?

I'm not sure what's wrong. I made a few changes and made it print more debug info, try the new version.

Minor issue: If the capture program is run when 3ds_capture.cfg doesn't exist, then the path used to save files is different from the one displayed in the program. The displayed path is the Desktop, but the actual path is the current directory (if you launch the program by double-clicking the executable in Windows Explorer, then the current directory is the one containing the executable). It seems that when the program is closed for the first time, 3ds_capture.cfg is created if it doesn't exist already, and from then on the issue won't occur.

Oops. Good catch, it'll be fixed in the next one.

Another update, stability improvements. I fixed the case where the capture board becomes unresponsive after closing/reopening the software several times.

Fixed the problem with software hanging on exit.

Huh, now I had the firmware update error that KingdomXIII mentioned. Decided to then run as admin, and while the program started (without getting the new firmware), it opens at least, to black screens. Now I'm just getting black screens. And going back to 3ds_capture_20221223 doesn't do anything either...

Sometimes I get this:

Code: Select all

closing
bsId(01C0B0A1)
reset1
187:fail(19)
183:fail(19)
205:writeCfg(4080) fail(19)
172:fail
closing

Hmm... ok. I made some changes, see what it does now.

Success! All working again. Nothing needs to be sent back, so if all problems can be fixed with a download, I think we'll be sitting pretty...

Code: Select all

Updated from: 3ds_capture_20221215.exe
Straight to: 3ds_capture_20221225.exe

No problems.

Tested a few of the methods of trying to get the software to hang by closing any of the windows in any order. During 3ds startup, while on, while shutting down, and off. Software seems to close and reopen every time now with no issues. Thanks loopy!

It seems like the important stuff is all working. Unless anything else comes up, I think I'll put the rest of these up for sale starting next year.
