New release of the Nes Emulator for the Ipod:
Sorry for going missing for such a long time. I've havn't updated much. Improved speed slightly by moving the redrawing routine to the coprocessor. Fixed sound a bit by changing the timing (a hack because its slow). I've only updated the nano version for now. Same link as usual.
The source code... now bear in mind its pretty sloppy. Which is also the reason i didn't want to release it in the first place. But if anyone thinks they can help take a look. For a real speedup though we would need the pocketnes emulator core. The 6502 processor in pocketnes is hand optimized asm code for the arm7 and it runs at full speed on the gameboy. The only problem with the code is that it was compiled using ARM SDT 2.5 which has different syntax than gcc. So if anyone is willing to help me convert it to gcc we should have a full speed NES emulator.
