Are These Emulators Ready To Go?


Most Linux emu, as with Linux apps in general, are x86 based, like Intel's Pentium and AMD's chips. The GP2X is an arm processor, completely different architecture. Sometimes all that is required is a recompile, but usually needs to have the code altered a bit.

My guess is SNES and everything below it in speed can be emulated. Things above might be a little more difficult. Time will tell.

Thanx,
Stan

As he said, recompilation. But, the emulator have to be portable. It's not the case of all.

yeah, come in and and join us and let your 1st question be about emus. thank you. you are welcome.

Maybe it should be a rule that if you join the forum and are not developing at least one homebrew application of your own and you intend to use anyone else's applications, you should be banned on the spot, hmm?

My most heartfelt apologies if someone gets the mistaken impression that the machine was meant to run games with the name GamePark, from a company called GamePark Holdings, while succeeding a console that was made famous for running more high-quality emulators than any other portable console and had nearly no popular commercial software. How could I ever have made such a grievous error?

Hey, what are those overclocking things? Gotta check them out. :)
 
:blink: I though synkro was being nice.

Nothing wrong with that question.

He was creating the impression one shouldn't join the GP32x forums to ask about emulation on the GP2x, as though it were never a thought in the heads of the console's designers that emulators be run on it-- which is quite clearly not the case.

Am I at least grandfathered in? :unsure:
