Ha! How he doesn't drop dead from a heart attack is beyond me.

Most community-based commercial projects are likely to fail. Not so much in software/games but this is hardware, and a sophiticated piece of hardware at that. I'd write this off immediately as a pipe dream. Of course, if it is ever developed you can expect me to be first in line to get it.

Frankly, I would like to write an emulator from scratch for my next project. Interesting. Any specific hardware that you have in mind ? I would like to try to emulate SNES but from what I hear it's one of the most difficult systems to emulate well. I know there are a million NES emus out there but ...

Even someone who does know hell about programming would find it near impossible. One way I could envision doing this is to reverse engineer the format the levels are stored and load them in a separate program on PC or something. I bet this wouldn't be too hard for games that were made with industry ...

I don't want money. It's not like I don't want to do it either. I just don't have as much free time as I used to. Frankly, I would like to write an emulator from scratch for my next project.

Unfortunately, I haven't worked on that for over a year. I'm just a very unmotivated person. Forgive me.

It's been over an hour since the last post in ANY forum. This forum really is dying?

I have definitely been in a lazy mood in terms of doing side projects. If it would make enough people happy I might consider revisiting NesterDC SE. I don't have a dev environment set up right now. I should just get the DCDevISO and play around. Maybe I'll begin to feel the force again. I dunno.

Come on, the graphics looked fine. I think there is always too much stress on graphics and not enough on gameplay. At a certain point, graphics are simply "good enough" for me. Anything more detailed doesn't add the the game's enjoyability.

No, they could have just stopped making more Street Fighters and came up with a new concept. I'm still curious how it plays; I'll rent it.

Baa-fuckin-humbug

The ones in the Chicago area closed about a year ago. I went to their Going-out-of-business sale and there was already nothing left. CompUSA was my store of choice until I discovered MicroCenter and TigerDirect.

Hum on my balls.

Too expected

Thank God. Most Genesis music sounds like metallic vomit.

If it was within a distance of a 2 hour drive from me, then yeah, I'd come. Obviously that would never happen, as Darc said, the travel would kill any hopes of this ever happening. Still, if the opportunity arose, I would try to come. I would be the most boring person there, though... No, I think I...

Is that the Portuguese version of carajo in Spanish? Whenever my wife and I are in Ecuador, her family randomly yells CARAJO, especially when drunk on the national beer, Pilsener. I'm not exactly what it means. It's just some strong exclamation.

I feel that if I could just write the emu with the idea all along that the graphics would be driven by 3D graphics card like the PVR instead of a frame buffer, then I'd have a higher chance for success. Old-school VDPs do basically everything line-by-line; I'm not sure using modern hardware for the...

That site doesn't allow hot-linking to their images, but I still managed to see it. Looks cool!!! If they ever make that I'll eat my shorts.

I doubt it. If they re-enter the console market I'll eat my shorts.
