How To Use Mic On Mac For Ds

Posted on by



Your Macbook has an internal mic, but it isn’t that good. Off course you can buy those external USB mics from Amazon, but they are quite expensive as well. Turns out, you can use your iPhone’s mic as an audio input for your Mac. The trick here is simple. All you need is an app that transmits audio from your iPhone to your Mac and set up your Mac, to make it receive audio input. Let’s see how to do this.

Search this subreddit for phantom hourglass. I did a write up a while back about how i got around this in that game and explain the cross-emulator logic in what you have to do to accomplish this. Short version: you’re going to have to use another emulator to do what you want. Select Microphone in the list on the left Turn microphone access for device to 'on' and allow apps to access microphone (in case you are planning to use microphone in Windows applications) Check that microphone does not have issues in Windows.

  • A free app – Microphone Live

This is because your device has another microphone that you were probably not aware of. It is placed right on top along with the stereo speakers.

Get the source

The MicMac project is now hosted on the GitHub platform.On the former Mercuriel server (https://geoportail.forge.ign.fr/hg/culture3d), no source code updates will be applied (7017 is the latest revision).

Install Git

Download the source

Go to the installation directory, where you want to install MicMac.

For “optimisation” reasons, the project files were divided into three GitHub sub-projects:

  • https://github.com/micmacIGN/micmac : contains the source code of MicMac
  • https://github.com/micmacIGN/Documentation : contains the documentation/manuals
  • https://github.com/micmacIGN/Papers : contains some publications and other reports concerning MicMac

To retrieve the source code to micmac folder:

Build from sources

Automatically

Manually

From the installation directory, move to the 'micmac' directory :

Then, you have to create a build directory and go in it :

Then we have to generate the makefile with the right options. To generate the defaut makefile, run :

About option -DWITH_QT5=1

Use this option if you want to use tools GUI such : SaisieAppuisInitQT, SaisieMasqQT etc... Instead, use :
