Pocketnes

[naples39]

Seeing that no one has really stepped up to the plate with a fully featured NES emulator yet, I thought I'd throw out a suggestion that came up in another thread; how about a port of PocketNES, originally written for the GBA?

I know nothing of coding, but it is a quality NES emulator with full sound support and good compatibility, which runs at full speed on the 16mhz GBA ARM processor. I would think this would be an extremely easy thing to port over to the GP2x and get full speed and sound in no time. Anyone who actually knows what they're doing up for it?

Well PocketNES works very well with a DS too, but the DS is after all backwards compatible with the GBA. Does that mean the DS has those custom chips too?

I seem to recall DS has a GBA inside of it...

That's why it's so bulky.

It has an ARM9 and an ARM7 CPU. The GBA used to have an ARM7 and a Z80 (for GB support).

Who knows why it's so bulky? My theory is that the FCC were being idiots about wireless.
