xx3dsfml Multi-platform Capture Software Release Thread

Sup everyone
Recently, I overhauled my capture software pretty significantly and put out the first official release. I figured the best place to announce when significant updates are made would be right here in the forums, so I decided to open this new thread where I’ll do exactly that.
For this first announcement, I’m happy to say that the audio latency issue has been resolved and that performance as a whole for both audio and video has seen significant improvements overall. Also, significant changes to the feature set have been made which I’ll briefly outline here:
1. The screens can now be split into separate windows.
2. The screens can now be cropped for DS mode, removing the black borders.
3. Scaling is now done by a factor of 0.5x and now goes up to 4.5x.
4. All of the transforms (cropping, scaling, rotating, and blurring) apply to each window individually. Both windows are controlled separately when split and all three of the windows maintain their own configurations.
5. The settings are now loaded from a file when the program launches and are saved when it’s closed.
These updates should also improve stability, so if anyone was having issues previously, hopefully they’ll be resolved now. I’ll be continuing to patch the software as needed, but for the time being, I’m mostly interested in setting up something to provide an easier time deploying the dependencies and installing. I should have access to a Mac relatively soon too, albeit an older one with an Intel chip, but I’ll be using it to test things out when I can. I may even look to see if I can get this running on Windows, but that’s not really much of a concern as of now.
Also, I should mention that I haven’t actually had a chance to test the latest updates out thoroughly yet, so I’ll be shamelessly plugging myself again here by saying that I’ll be streaming at https://www.twitch.tv/static_zero for the next several hours today and tomorrow too (and probably most weekends at that). If anyone’s interested, feel free to pop in.
Anyway, I also wanted to say thanks to anyone that’s been using the software. I’m glad that I could put something out that’s benefited more than just myself. I’d be really happy if this has even given anyone enough confidence to buy a capture board in the first place, so I at least hope that it’ll be living up to expectations!
