Homebrew [Release] (A newer) Sonic CD (2011) 3DS Port

​

Hi there. Today, I'm happy to share with you all a newer, up-to-date 3DS Port of the Sonic CD (2011) decompilation project by Rubberduckycooly and others.
It uses Citro3D for the graphics backend, SDL 1.2 for the audio backend, among the usual dependencies.




Features:

• Built on the most recent decomp code base (as of Feb 2023)
• Runs full speed on both O3DS and N3DS!
• Stereoscopic 3D support
• No laggy/slow special stages
• (Hopefully) less crash-prone than the other existing 3DS port
• Remappable (keyboard) keys in settings.ini (Uses bitmasks from libctru)
• And just like the other port, dev menu can be accessed at any time by pressing SELECT

Setup:

• You need to dump the DSP firm before running the game, otherwise there will be no audio.
• Using Data.rsdk from the mobile version is highly recommended; with the non-mobile Data.rsdk, special stage floor tiles are broken and Tidal Tempest has trouble rendering at all.
• Just copy `SonicCD.3dsx` (or install `SonicCD.cia`) and `Data.rsdk` to `/3ds/SonicCD/` on the SD card.
• Don't copy over an existing settings.ini; this might result in unexpected issues (i.e. no input). Just let a new settings.ini be generated on first startup before modifying anything in the config.
• FMVs are currently unsupported, so don't bother copying them. You'll only need the Data.rsdk for now.

Currently Unsupported:

• There's currently an issue where the title screen won't respond to button inputs when using the iOS Data.rsdk. To work around this, either access the main menu via the dev menu or switch to using the Android Data.rsdk.
• Mods (linker error when trying to compile the relevant code (undefined reference to `pathconf` in a part of std::fs))
• FMVs

Note that load times are still just as meh as the other 3DS port, ranging from around 8-15 seconds on O3DS. Of course, you'll get slightly better load times on N3DS.
Other than all of that, this should be more or less a relatively straight, hassle-free port.
