Microphone

[Anuskuss]

I've never seen a mobile Nintendo DS emulator with microphone support, but I would appreciate this feature since I can't continue playing Nintendogs.

[WilliamLCobb]

I'll put that on the todo list. There's code in there for microphone input so it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

[Anuskuss]

Would it record my voice accuratly or would it just play a dark noise?

[WilliamLCobb]

Not sure yet. Worst case scenario you'll have the option to play different noises. Hopefully though I can get live recording to work.

It would be good if you could get the mic to work. If anything you could also check to see if desmume has some code for mic imput .

@pmp174 how do I input those cheats into iNDS? For the fake microphone blowing?

[ghost]

@pepperoony I have not tried this cheat but the correct way to do it is by going to the cheat menu clicking the + button and adding the code . If you need a mic cheat try to see if in the issue I refreced above there is one. Also search some up at some type of cheat database.

[Pepperoony]

Oh, it's in the latest IPA right? Could you send that to me please?

[ghost]

Sure what's your email?

Any updates yet?

[WilliamLCobb]

I'm making progress I just need some save states to test it on. If anyone has any please send them through the in app bug reporting

[ghost]

Seems like you are making progress. I will try to check my drop box but my app got deleted so no guarantee of save states .

[Anuskuss]

If you want to test it just download one of the Nintendogs, buy a dog and pet it until the game asks you to give him a name via the microphone (no save needed as it takes ~2 minute to reach to that point).

[WilliamLCobb]

Didn't mean to close this issue :/

And thanks! I'll test nintendogs today

[WilliamLCobb]

I have the microphone successfully picking up sound and writing it to a buffer for the emulator to use. However DeSmuME is only reading around 130 samples a second... which is bad because it should be 16000.

I think any point where you just need to blow into the mic will work now but voice recognition probably will not. I'll update the beta branch soon and anyone who wants to test it out can.

[Anuskuss]

It would be perfect if it could recognize my voice accuratly, since it can be used to call your dog in Nintendogs. A simple blow would let me continue the game, but it's sad that I can't call him (but it's still possible to whistle (with the menu) and the dog still comes to you).

[Macrey]

Most of games don't make a difference between voice and just a blow. I'm stuck in WarioWare Touched! because of that mic issue :/

Btw, very great job !

[WilliamLCobb]

Ready for testing. The iPhone microphone is so sensitive it makes it kind of hard to emulate the DS's. Loud noises from far away are picked up as static and make the game think you're blowing into the mic. I might need to turn the sensitivity down some or add an option to disable the mic.

Please send an inapp report or post back here if you guys get a chance to test it

[WilliamLCobb]

Nintendog works perfectly for me so its looking good. Hopefully other games will too

[Anuskuss]

Man I wish I had a Mac to test it (or the time to setup a virtual machine),

[kb317]

@WilliamLCobb You said nintendogs is working perfectly for you now? I gave the app permission to access mic but it seems like nothing is going through, the dog isn't picking up anything

[Anuskuss]

@WilliamLCobb First of all, thank you for implementing microphone support in iNDS. My problems so far:

• The 130 Hz is indeed not enough. I tried to give my dog a name, he "hears" it, but throws some question marks (aka he's not understanding).
• I updated through Cydia and the app ask me for microphone permission. When I build it through Xcode (I have finally found the time to set up a Hackintosh so I can help you beta testing now :relieved:), the app doesn't ask me (I checked the privacy settings but it wasn't there).
• I can't turn off Enable mic (.plist problem?)
• I sometimes talk but it doesn't get all of it (refresh rate to high?)
• This one is strange: I have to enable Volume Button Bumpers to get microphone to work (you can disable it afterwards). | rename .txt to .mp4 | @kb317 Can you try this?

[kb317]

@Anuskuss @WilliamLCobb I enabled volume button bumpers - it's now picking up my voice but sounds super distorted, the dog is doing the same question marks you mentioned.

[WilliamLCobb]

When you enable volume button bumpers it correctly sets the state of the audio session to pick up the microphone. I forgot to add that for when you don't enable those. I'll fix it today.

Also I turned down the sensitivity of the mic because mine was so loud but it may be different for other phones. I can add an option to set it manually.

Also how do you know what your voice sounds like? Does t replay it in nintendogs?

[kb317]

@WilliamLCobb Yes. after you speak, the game replays it.

[WilliamLCobb]

Do you hear your voice at all and it's distorted? Or do you just hear white noise?

[kb317]

@WilliamLCobb I hear my voice, but it's heavily distorted.

[K0m0]

I tried to send a save state for this issue through bug reporting, but it gave me an error. Is there any other way I could send the state?

[essiw]

@K0m0 You could synch it with dropbox (or get the files from iTunes) and upload the save state here.

[Anuskuss]

iNDS 1.5.1

• It looks like the quality of the recording was improved (I can actually understand what I'm saying now), but not to the point where my dog understands me
• It's sometimes tricky to (de)activate Enable Mic and it doesn't always take effect immediately
• There're a lot more crashes now (in-game, while talking, after talking)

[itsjustjordyn]

I just recently downloaded Nintendogs to test the microphone and I'm still having issues. I enabled the volume buttons options and the microphone isn't picking up anything at all. Help?

[benjamincrozat]

Hello,

My girlfriend is asking if you made any progress about this issue. She can't play Nintendogs, ha ha. :)

[tungkaka]

@WilliamLCobb You did great job, but i still can't use micro in Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass, i try to on/off some controls setting or audio setting but still not working. i test in game and the option in game for Mic test but stay the same. Everything was GREAT except micro :( btw thank you for your awesome work, god bless you !!

[frnkl]

I have downloaded iNDS 1.5.4. It's working fine except the micro. I know it's implemented since 1.5. but it seems like it really doesn't want to work. I have installed iNDS with Cydia Impactor on iOS 11.0.2. Is there a solution for this ?

[maritjuuuuu]

Can someone please just put a code here so I can play nintendogs? I have read all the stuff, but I can not figger it out. I just need to use my microphone, but I can't find an code that works. Someone, please, help?

[PandaPJYuri]

Mic Enable isn’t working for me on iOS 12 public beta 7. Just to let you know.
