Gba Emulator Port

[yaustar]

THe PSP scene has just be given a new GBA emulator written from the ground up. The source is under GPL but I have no clue on the level needed to port this over. The author has offered me the x86 files to use as a reference project. Anybody up for it or can provide more information?

sounds interesting to port to the gp2x.

but dont we have http://illexboyadvance.sourceforge.net/

maybe this guy can use some of the ideas from the psp emu

Don't forget, if written correctly, the PSP is much better than the gp2x at snes and gba emus due to it's graphics processor.

wouldnt the gp2x be way ahead of the psp on this cause it could map the cpu?

A dynarec ARM with graphics in hardware would still be faster than mapping the cpu and doing all the graphics in software - OpenGL can really speed up tile-based multi background systems such as SNES & GBA as it's the graphics that slow it down considerably.

That said though, a GBA written from the ground up for the GP2X would still be playable.

For example, the current SquidgeSNES runs DKC at 16 fps, whereas SquidgeSNES-SE currently runs the same game at a higher fps, but is very incompatible and that fps will considerably decrease by the time it makes the graphics look anything like what they should do.

I'd expect a similar impact on the GBA emu.

For example, the current SquidgeSNES runs DKC at 16 fps, whereas SquidgeSNES-SE currently runs the same game at 140 fps. Before you shit your pants though, this current version is very incompatible and that fps will considerably decrease by the time it makes the graphics look anything like what they should do. I'd expect a similar impact on the GBA emu.

-SE as in... what? Second edition? You've gotten me curious!

lol squidgesnes-se how cool is that but 140 fps is impressive nontheless squidge even though it will be less when released

You may want to consider moving this comment before the other statement. I feel people will be shitting their pants before they actually get to the warning part

 

[Vollgasasi]
