The Emu EX Plus Alpha is a collection of emulators, based on cores from various emu project, and with a common GUI (with an android taste).

All Emu use GLES (GLES|2 starting with build 10) for graphics (hardware scalling), and various input controls (even Bluetooth, with Wiimote or iControlPad, but I haven't tested). Also featured zipped roms and save states (per roms).

Nice! How does this compare to the full Gambatte though?
Gambatte-QT: No gles renderer, no vsync, scaled x11 renders diagonally, fancy filters, customizable palettes

GBC.emu: gles renderer, vsync, scaling, but always has a black bar at the top, no hq scalers, palettes can't be fully customized, menu is a bit buggy

Why the black bar at the top?

love to see how snes9x ex works on this

I don't have a black bar on top of GBC.emu(as you can see on screenshot, the picture goes from top to bottom of the real sreen). That's strange. Maybe I still have a prob with the fullscreen code. I hide the taskbar, maybe there is black bar when taskbar is not on autohide? I'll check later.

I have the black bar on rebirth - dont know if it's a model problem. Indeed on your screenshots it does not appear ! Strange.

I do all my developpemt on a Rebirth, with Vanilla SuperZaxxon 1.53, no beta GL driver (yet). So yes, strange.

*EDIT* I tested without "autohide" on the taskbar, and I have the black bar ?!! I guess I have to rethink my Fullscreen code :(

I tried to fix the black bar. It seems to work., on GBC at least. This is build 02. All other emu will come directely on build 02...

Build 02

----------

  • Attempt to get rid of upper black bar when taskbar is not "autohidding"
 
Added the Sega 8bits/16bits MD.emu to first port.

It's based on GenesisPlus. The SMS part is not perfect (micromachine is not correct for example) and no GameGear support.

The Megadrive part looks pretty good (but lacks 32x support)
 
Added the SuperNES/SuperFamicon port.

It use Snes9x, so everything just works very fine (tried Zelda, Starfox, Mario Kart, SuperMario RPG, all working well, with Save States).
 
I'm trying out the Snes9x emu, it works really nice. Excellent work.

I can see some tearing with auto frameskip, which disappear by setting frameskip to 0. But then the sound starts to crackle. Is there some other way to have vsync enabled?

Edit: With frameskip 0 the sound crackles because the emu runs too fast.

Wow, awesome, thhanks a lot.

Just some quick suggestions:

* Package default button config for Pandora into the emulator

* Make the GUI font smaller.

* Use keyboard to jump to game in menu

All emus running nicely so far, especially like the scanline filter :)
