nice interview as usual hooka

good job. I always like your interviews ^^

I have loved the PCEngine for many years, and to have such an excellent emulator (even though its not finished) sitting in the palm of my hand is fantastic, I really enjoyed reading this Interview and getting to know more about the man behind HU6280.

Many thanks Hooka

Hooka: I read that you got it running at 44fps on the GP32 at 166Mhz, do you think you'll ever release it for GP32 and that it'll be fullspeed with sound?

Vobbo: Yes. Its actually running at more like 53fps now with the latest version... I just need to code a rom selector for it and I`ll release it when I get time...

This is excellent news! Great interview as usual Hooka, and keep up the great work Vobbo!

after reading that I decided Vobbo is one hell of acool guy

 

[Godmil]

great interview thanks

 

[TyBO!]

Very good interview, thanks Hooka!

Hooka: You really dislike the use of frameskip huh?

Vobbo: Yea, Frameskip is cheating [...]

I concur.

Cool interview. I originally thought Vobbo just ported Hu6280, but was not aware that he originally wrote the emulator. I remember when that was released...

I'm also surprised that he also codes for the Gizmondo. That is cool. I may have to grab one of those one day *just* to see how it runs

 

[PSyMastR]

Ya, vobbo is one cool guy. I read somewhere he wrote the original. Good stuff

Vobbo was whats his name, JamieDodger. Something like that. Also it runs much faster than on the GP2x. This is a direct quote from Vobbo.

Oh but I think Gizmondo has a tiny screen. Not sure though.

From what I've seen and tested, no better than the GP2X.

My PCEngine emu runs at 73fps on the GP2X @ 200Mhz, and 53fps on the Gizmondo @ 400Mhz
Zodttd's psx4giz runs at roughly the same speed as the GP2X version

The main reason is that the Giz's frame buffer is so damn slow.
Programs that run in OpenGL are pretty fast though (much faster than GP2X) but then again they are hardware accelerated. Shame theres like zero homebrew using OpenGL...

Vobbo's emulator runs bettting on the Gizmondo...

10633 hits on vobbos page = ? downloads = 23 donations :blink:

 

[sam fisher]

plus it took him a while to put in that hit counter. Soon vobbos site will be renovated.

 

[Draken]

Ah cool, though I already like this version of his site, better than the original.

 

[sam fisher]

black text on a blank white background with acknoledgements is all the rage though

The newer version is just a slight expansion of his site. So you think there should be a popup that tells you to donate once you have downloaded more than thress versions JK
