News from Lazyone (http://lazyone.drunkencoders.com/wordpress/?p=38) about his Mac emu for Nintendo DS


Thanks again to all those who donated towards the Supercard, now Mini vMac can use the ram on some gba slot cards (Supercard/M3).

Now that it is possible I can include builds for a 4MB configuration but keep in mind that there is a performance hit.

Currently it will run at 8-16fps when using ram in the gba slot, but hopefully there is room for improvement somewhere.

UPDATE:

Thanks to the help of WinterMute on IRC the speed penalty when using external ram is alot smaller with a difference of around 3fps compared to using the main ram.

And finally, a picture of 4MB emulation on hardware (Thanks to RyanFB)
