you have no idea how excited i am that a version of touchHLE can run Rayman 2. i loved that game as a kid, it feels like an incredible honour
it's also a game I actually bought for iPhone OS, back in the day… it's on my iPod touch! though the PC version was the one I played most.
btw the reason there's no music is that, so far, I've refused to incorporate an AAC decoder into touchHLE due to patent concerns. if anyone knows of a library that lets me easily use the host OS's AAC decoder (Windows/macOS/Android/GNU/whatever), that'd be great.
@hikari AFAIK, the patents for decoding AAC-LC has been expired for years, and I expect the relevant HE-AAC patents by now as well. Fedora has a patent free AAC lib https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fdk-aac-free which removes patent encumbered functionality (as of 5 years ago) here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~wtay/fdk-aac/commit/?h=fedora&id=8dcaebbdb5112d5930b6202a8880f89aeabb3722
@kanongil ooh thanks for pointing me to that, maybe I'll be lucky and the AAC content I want to play will work with that
@hikari I would expect most files to be AAC-LC in an mp4 container. If it’s HE-AAC, it might still be playable (with worse quality) since it has a backwards compatible mode.
