Squidge's Mmu Hack: Discovery Of The Month :)

[Draken]

Not that we have enough buttons anyway...

 

[banner88]

Not that we have any kind of suitable video accelerator and software will never do the job anyway...

 

[hackgrid]

Not that we have enough buttons anyway...

We have enough for Zelda

We have enough for Zelda

Zelda is a sissy game anyway, why bother?

I prefer platformers in 2D too, it's perhaps my deviation from 8-bit microcomputers era. And GP2x is very adept to be an excellent machine for 2D games.

 

[xinfernoofdantex]

Pepone, can you release a version without autoframeskip? pleasee

For gngeo or squidgesnes?

for squidgesnes

Also, before anyone asks, yes, it's also possible to write a MMU-based GBA emulator under Linux. But that's a big job, so don't expect someone to do it over a weekend.

And what's with N64? h34r: *runs away and hides*

If you want to write an N64 emu, be my guest

Just let me note that the person most capable of actually pulling it off would probably be you. ;P

It'd be feasible because of the potential to execute ARM code natively (ARM7 code on an ARM9 processor in the GP2X) rather than just for direct speed gain reasons. N64 is still going to be pretty much an impossiblity at anything close to full speed.

Is there an off button for this thing? It's like a magic 8 ball, it uses preset phrases that are not proven to bat down the possibility of N64 emulation, and mentionind N64 is like shaking it!

Not that we have enough buttons anyway...

We actually have one extra button, as I have stressed in MANY topics. Don't forget about the Volume buttons. With the volume buttons, you can set each of the N64's buttons to a button, leaving the Stick Click unused! (one extra button) We can then use stick click for the menu's menu, OR just not use the Stick click and come up with some sort of button combination, since IIRC, I think DaveC said that using the Stick Click a lot is what makes your stick cover fall off or something like that.

Don't diss Zelda. ;P It's unhealthy.

No it is just that some of us base our opinions and predictions based on something called *reality*

Epicenter is a coder and he knows about how emus and the hardware works.

I am not a coder but can tell you that emulating a 90 MHz MIPs CPU, 3D polygon GPU with floating point maths and a sound chip on a 200 MHz ARM based handheld with no FPU or 3D GPU is obsurd. To even mention the possibility of playable N64 emulation on the GP2X shows that you have no concept of what an emulator is and how they work.

I am just hoping for decent SNES emulation someday. That would be 200 MHz, fs0-1, full speed w/clear non stuttering sound on all emulated games (not just the select few) but probably no transparencies. That is at least possible.

I'm hoping for decent GBA =]... Golden Sun PORTABLE

yay i can post again, damn mods

 

[DaveN]

Golden Sun PORTABLE

...
( Do I really have to write something here? )

 

[greenmikey]

ill second that.
OH MAN...GBA PORTABLE!!! (hehehe)

 

[xinfernoofdantex]

YEa, you two agree with me right, that would be sooo awesome

 

[___]

lol are you actually in sarcasm mode too? Hopefully... lol. DaveC has a point: Do a reality check before you insult a coder!!! N64 is just not going to happen, never ever and no, it's not comparable to a psx! But seriously, that gba mmu possibility really turns me on... Rooooarrr.... well somebody would have to hack an emulator to implement the feature or better write one from scratch... it's so easy to talk about great emulation possibilities if you are only a consumer and the only thing you can do in C is outputting hello world. *sniff*

 

[xinfernoofdantex]

i love dreamcast, i think i'll ditch the gp2x scene for a while to revisit chui and the likes

 

[STTrife]

I'd like to see a n64 emulator no matter what the speed is it's just cool

Beat you to it, Squidge. I've asked this question twice at least already. Once in your own thread, iirc.
[edit] Nop, it wasn't in your thread... in that case, I have no idea where it was I posted that... maybe I dreamed it? >_<

 

[Epicenter]

Well, there's a straight C/SDL port that runs at 4 FPS, if I recall correctly.

 

[Vollgasasi]

? where can i find that?!

 

[Epicenter]

Probably the archive. I'm sure it doesn't have a menu or anything.

 

[Vollgasasi]

oh.. alright... no goody for me. i'm a windows whore and used to gui's

but i'd love to see n64 emu. let's hope and not just say it's not possible.

4FPS?

ridge racer runs at that speed on the psx emu
i wouldn't say it's worthless to make a n64 emu with such performance
