Snes Emulator Released

[iignotus]

Why doesn't someone port snes9x over, besides, It just need a new button map, and it should be very good, due to the high processor speed. Then optimized later...

​

Because it wouldn't be a port. Snes9x has a good amount of x86 assembler in it, and I'm not even sure that it uses SDL.

That's Zsnes, actually... Snes9x, iirc, is fairly portable as these things go. I'm pretty certain its 100% C/C++, and it *may* have an SDL version, although of that, I'm not so sure...

Zsnes on the other hand, is pretty much entirely x86 assembler, and therefore not worth touching with a bargepole, unless you're really a fan of X86 assembler and the conversion of it to ARM asm

EDIT: That is, idd, the PC version of Snes9x I'm talking about... OS9xGP obviously does include a large ammount of assembler. Assuming, however, that its possible to get this to compile in the first place, that shouldn't be a problems seeing as it is ARM ASM, not X86 ASM, and therefore will quite happily execute on the GP2x

From the Snes9x website

Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.

A good amount of assembler, not anything like the low-level monstrosity that is Zsnes. Of course, the comparatively small amount of assembler in 9x should be easily surmountable with a while of good coding. I just got my arm toolchain set up, so I'll take a look into these thigns.

 

[Tobriand]

Apologies... I can't claim to be always right lol!

Must say, I'm surprised though; I was always under the impression that the reason Snes9x was always chosen as a base for porting was simply because it didn't need ASM to survive (which made it fairly straight-forward to bring across).

Ah well.

​

indeed. Even if snes9x has asm cpu core, it also has Plain C/C++ alternative.

I made a theme for the emulator if anyone wants to check it out,

i just want to see the the latest opensnes9x gp32 (that with better sound) ported to HH and running at 266Mhz it should be fullspeed withg sound at FS0-1 in all games.

​

I think at 266mhz we might all have 15 minutes of battery life.

 

[x68000]

what would happen if we had both running at 266mhz together. Would we even get past the boot up screen before the batteries die??

 

[azurege]

I have tried to get this emu up and running but all i get is a black screen, the emu is in its own directory called Snes, i have kept the directory structure from the latest build (the one that comes with the Nes emu) but i am still getting a black screen and i have to reboot. the whole system locks.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Have you run SDL libraries?

http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,31,869

They need to be run as a util from the ROOT of the sd card, the screen should go black for a few seconds, it its black for only a split second they haven't been run from the right place.

After they have been run you can delete them from the SD card, you should have a bit more luck then.

i'd gladly carry a bag of batteries around for it

 

[Vimacs]

its not that bad, my gp2x runs since 9am (gmt+1) its 1pm now and its still running without a bad sign, 4 hours, i gues i can reach 5.
so at 266mhz 3hours should be expectable, or more.

 

[daminator]

Check the archives!

There's a new version of the Emulator! Hell yea ^^
But i cant read the readme

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[daminator]

But same low speed ^^

 

[PSyMastR]

As seen in the second quote in my sig

 

[noreason]

is there somewhere a lite what games work and how fast and so on? or maybe it's just not time to do that because emu is early beta?
