I could use this too. Specifically examples that use a mix of 4bpp paletted textured polys and 16bpp textured polys. -_- Thx in advance if anyone has some...

mog you are seriously confused... for digital sample playing (and for programming the FM / PSG, although you could do this with the 68k as well), you'd use the Z80 (it's a Zilog cpu, not Motorola... the 68k [main cpu] was Motorola)... Z80 itself is however a fairly standard part, being used in many ...

Depending on how well it runs, it's fair to state that it's possible to get it running at least that well on DC... however just saying it runs, without giving any indication of performance, allows one to (wrongly) make such an interpretation, so perhaps some more information is in order to be given...

Take a crack at an entirely x86-oriented, DirectX oriented, Windows oriented emu ... *shudders, chuckles, and moves on*

is there someting about the SNES compard to the PSX that makes it harder to emulate? I mean it has a 5mhz chip ( not sure about that) the snes processor is quite a lot faster than that... It's more like 3mhz, and it's basically a slightly updated / overclocked version of the CPU in the NES, which i...

I seriously hope that was a joke -_-

We have that too -_-

Well your standard PC serial port will max out around 115200 or some number like that... in the 100000bps range... if you had a special serial port card though (a port with the extra stuff that makes it better than the standard PC ones) then you could get up to 2mbps, which is what the old homebrew ...

Just because they used an official SDK to code the emu does not mean it couldn't be done better otherwise. They get the benefit of a (hopefully) debugged development environment. That means the code is more mature and bug hunting accounts for less of the development time. You can probably achieve ne...

It's "Lunar", and both were released on PSX.

He kinda forgot to put it inside of < > though... and everything else he wrote was wrong... so it doesn't really matter :P...

sweet... Cless I agree, learn the language first before worrying about anything else you've asked... :|

Uh... these days there is little incentive to optimize when PCs that powerful are dirt cheap. Be glad the SH2 core is coded in assembly, or you wouldn't be able to play those games for a while yet. Hell, I can play 32x Doom near full speed on my P2-400mhz machine... it's not that bad. You just gotta...

The same way you would with any other language. The basics: get a CPU disassembler up and working; turn it into a CPU simulator/emulator (not too hard because you already have all the decoding logic in place); code in support for all the I/O to other hardware that makes it work. That's really the mo...

Hell, skip SPIM and go to Mipster... granted it's just an "IDE" with SPIM built in, but it's fairly spiffy... I've been playing with it for a few weeks now to brush up on my MIPS skills again. It's awesome. available @ http://www.downcastsystems.com/ And if you are wondering what platforms...

It all depends on which platform you want to learn it for. One place to look is dmoz.org, under the Computers subcategory... they have references for most of the older processors like 68k, z80, and MIPS. You should be able to find other stuff through Google I'd assume.

Also note, unless you plan on coding an emulator for a really underpowered system (read Dreamcast), assembly language really isn't a skill you should worry about looking into. PCs these days should have enough power to run just about any emulator even written entirely in C.

come on you know sometimes you forget a lil snytax and u gotta refer back to the api. heh A language reference isn't an API reference. There are differences. An emulator is going to use a lot of the primitive operators present in the language (mathematical and logical operations, control statements...

Yeah I also wonder that... yeah...

Uh... well one really bad way to fake the audio emulation is to use a pregenerated waveform and just resample it... that sounds like crap... the right way is to generate all the FM waveforms with all sorts of different effects and filters in real time... and it's slower as you can probably imagine :...
