fixing framerate and sound support

[lerabot]

I'm planning to use this for my upcoming project, Reaperi Cycle, but the fact that the sound doesn't work is quite liminting. I know you haven't work on this in years but how likely it is that this could get implemented. I'm also gonna on DCemu.

I've been toying with the code for the past couple days but it's way beyong what I can do.

So, you are able to get the video playing back for your game? That's a good baseline.

I still have a patch that someone contributed which turns on the sound.

You are using the old KallistiOS platform for development?

So, I've been using this version for couple month and I do get video playback indeed. But I've recently been testing PH3NOM r2-3 version and I can't get the video to play. I know that it loads fine because of the printf but I have a feeling that the threading might be the issue.

KOS has new function for threads and I tried to adapt it. Thing is, I know nothing about threading. I merely switched the functions.

You can find this new version here -> https://github.com/dreamcastdevs/dreamroq

I dug up the old dreamroq patch that I had which adds audio, but I see that that's the same version that you just posted. I had never gotten around to trying that on my DC platform. I will see if I can get it running again.

Sound does not work for me at all never has i dont see how it could were is it sending the sound to the ACIA? Ok the other version is see the code for that but when i try it the video dont play at all??

Oh wow, you've gotten this project to work in 2020, showing graphics? :-)

I never got the sound support merged in back in the day, so it's unsurprising that the audio portion isn't working.

Yes i have the video working fine.. very nice project i ported smpeg way back in 2003 but it was software using sdl 15 fps with sound if your lucky.. this is much better project.. Thanks for all your work on this..

Email me (address is on my Github page) and I can give you a patch that someone sent me a long time ago that enables AICA support. You can validate it if you're up to it.
