No! He's working on fixing a VM program so that we can all play Counter-Strike on our Pandys!

But seriously, thread derailed and nobody will be able to see if it runs decently until some of the more verbal devs get bored and give it a shot.

isnt this awesome news?
i mean n900 is also open source, linux and has same hardware? So this should run on pandora with not to many problems?

What is there to say exactly? Someone ported desmume to N900, showed screenshots of what's basically a PC recompile of it running. Although a native N900 build is confirmed to work it's also confirmed to be very slow.

Is any of this surprising? desmume is portable, getting it "working" on N900 or Pandora was never supposed to be a challenge (it was also ported to Wii, N800, even PSP). It was also ported to Pandora ages ago by cpasjuste. Everyone should have known these things already. Everyone also should have known it'd be piss slow, and it is.

Time to move along...

28fps is less than half speed anyway. Here's hoping I don't have to explain this again.

full speed is 60hz. since it's not like a PC game, 28hz means the game runs at less than half-speed. it doesn't mean that it's just jerky.
 
Borg: Unfortunately the screeny is of the SDK on a PC :(

But the build that is running on the N900 that Exo mentioned is an old build which was as he said; Piss slow.

I've been playing around with it.
I have not bothered even testing an actual ROM. No point.

The best fps I have managed to get is 16 fps (23+ with a frame skip of 9!) and I was running Inferno (OS based on Plan9).
It froze pretty quick, so did DSlinux and just a low end homebrew game.

Very crap build unfortunately.
 
just fyi,
the "current" desmume port for the n900 (like just about anything else) seems to be a quick and dirty port, so no optimization or anything and on the actual hardware @600mhz it crawls at around ~5-10fps in actual games (and thats with sound off and frameskip at 4). people reported an increase of about 4fps when o/cing past 1ghz
so yeah, nice to see it running but thats pretty much it
