Definitely ran into that "decade old example" problem when porting an old college project to the Dreamcast. A lot of the Dreamcast dev scene is full of really dated examples. If you run into that again, what I'd suggest is just looking through the headers of the SDK. For the PSP audio problem, it might also have been a matter of streaming the audio file on-demand versus loading it in memory and playing it from there, but I haven't messed around with it myself. Could also be that the MP3 libraries might have been either a "proof of concept" library, or something intended only for using the PSP as some sort of MP3 player.

radgeRayden Pretty sure that's the problem it was running into, the PSP used ATRAC as it's primary audio format I believe. So converting the sound files to ATRAC and replacing the MP3s should fix the lag with audio enabled.

[@SerBallister]

@@Radgerayden-ist Slower than realtime decoding would nwould cause a buffer-under-run which would be very noticable clicks/gaps in the audio. Usually MP3 and other streaming formats use large buffers (=latency). Do these systems not support a RAW wave format like ADPCM or PCM?

[@xeridea]

For functions that need to change between systems, like loading assets, drawing things, etc, you can abstract it, so the function name is always the same, but it does different things based on system. You still need to figure out how to do stuff, it just cuts down a lot on refactoring. For screen resolution changes, you can have a base set of numbers, than then get modified by a factor based on screen resolution so you don't need to change all the variables, it is automatic. For PSP sound, perhaps sound needs ran in a different thread.

I got this recommended right after I ported my Platformer Game to Android. Games of this genre are notoriously unresponsive to control on Phones, because the buttons are tiny with no real feedback where they begin and end. They focus too much on replicating a console controller instead of making it actually control well. Because of my different approach of making the buttons basically as big as possible, I managed to make the first platformer which controls just as well as the Computer version, and I don't say it lightly (I've played other developer's Android platformers before, and even the best ones I've played so far don't control as well as this one because they replicated the wrong approach to designing the controls): github.com/Sosasees/flinkimaus/releases/tag/0.02.001
