Hu6280 Pc-engine Emulator Working On Gp2x!

[vobboomg]

Hi all...

just a little bit of news for ya...

I`ve ported my old pc-engine emulator to GP2X , its running @ ~44fps entirely running C code with a disgusting bodged screen copy routine to get it to display on an SDL surface...

Expect a first release in about 1-2hrs @ http://www.vobbo.gptheatre.co.uk/

I`ll throw up a copy of the windows version too, now running under SDL instead of direct X

The nice thing about hu6280 is, it runs < ALL > the pc-engine HuCard games... its time to play galaga,rtype,gunhed,bomberman and all your other favourite PC-Engine games!


wooooooooooooot!

Dedicated PC Engine fan - waiting !

And yes I own the real one, the CD based one and the hand held!!

Aaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!

Anyway, great job on the port. I see some nice games I want to play!

 

[sam fisher]

Muse play PCE games!

Do you intend of optimizing this with vast amounts of arm asm? If not, I wonder if I could steal your code base (I'm optimizing my current one hoping to get it running at 60fps @ ~100mhz)

 

[sam fisher]

Hows it at 100mhz right now?

 

[Squidge]

Just a snip over 30 fps (no fskip), but plenty of tricks to do yet

Working on a new cpu core and main control system at the moment (99% asm).

 

[vobboomg]

ok, uploaded it... V0.0000001 alpha

http://www.vobbo.gptheatre.co.uk/

enjoy!


It should run all the hucards, unless compiling it with gcc screwed something up...


let me know how it works for you, meanwhile, i`ll tidy it up and enable the sound

Thank you so very much. I used to use your emulator back in the day. It was and is a very good emulator. I'm glad to see you've decided to port this. Thanks again!

Mind giving a summary of the controls? I think I must be doing something wrong if when I try and load up r-type all that comes up is breakout ^^;; (a very fine game of breakout, might I add)

You could both work on one emulator......if you think that is a good idea..... h34r:

squidge or vobbo any chance of a port to GP32?

i know i have been saying that a little here and there.. i only ask cause A. Wicked fuckin' cool is what that would be, and B. I remember not unheard-of long ago squidge was working on a GP32 version (which has since been shelved I am sure). Oh well, just thouht i would ask. In the meantime, yet another reason for me + my kind to upgrade to 2X I suppose..!

Is that with sound? Sound is kind of important and a nice feature to have.. If it is, great.

The GP32 already has the best PC-Engine emu except for savestates.

Wow... that's a great idea! I hope more of the less-CPU-intensive console emulators (NES, GB, etc) get updated with underclocked versions to help save precious battery life.

Thanks for the release Vobbo!

Do any of the PC-Engine emulators for the gp2x run CD images?

Sorry for the rushed release... I had to bodge a fileselector in there before I went to bed


anyway , look at the the hu6280.txt for instructions, you just press the 'R' button to boot the rom you selected...


I`ll clean up the release when I get time, I`m off to work now

yes GP2XEngine

Basic but very good start.

the control it's little hard without diagonal
else it's very smooth.
