PicoDriveDS 0.1.3 (Genesis Emulator for Nintendo DS)

[MasterMan]

@DarkworlPrince: RyanFB said it himself on GBAdev board.

Ryan FB,

Do you see sound with decent gameplay speed in the future of PicodriveDS?

Is it possible?

Possible, yes. As to when, I couldn't tell you, but these things take time.

If he sais it's possible, i wouldn't doubt.

About the processor,s thing. I bet if the emulator's currently using only ARM9 for everything, ARM7 would be free for all of the sound routines, wich can be enough.
Erm... Zodiac has these 2 processors too?

I think DarkworldPrince needs to have a little study time!! Opinions are one thing, biased uneducated ones are another thing alltogether.

[Junixx]

no a zodiac has one ARM9 processor clocked at 200Mhz

Scrabbus, please don't say that I need more education on this topic without a followup reason.

I am, quite confidently, more knowledgable than most people here on the handheld scene.

I've been part of the handheld homebrew scene since the gba's began to take off. I know my apples. You all jumped on my post like I had given some sort of fanboy opinion.

67 mhz is not enough to run a genesis emulator. Hell. 160 or so mhz was necessary for the GP32 to run DRMD. Do prove me wrong though. I will GLADLY eat my words if I can stick genesis games on my M3 someday soon and play them with cheats and state saves. I might even get to play landstalker! The PSP is frickin useless for any isometric 3d title using that d-pad.

Wow! Even better! Sonic and knuckles will soon be mine.

Just wanted to give an apology to Darkworld. Didn't mean to attack you. Though, you saying this emulator is "impossible" could be taken the same way by the author as mine and other posts were by you.

All of us want this to work, and doubting it will isn't going to make it work any faster.

EDIT: With sound and save states, as it works pretty good already.

look, look, what I should have said mr prince is that your opinions did look somewhat , well...biased, but thank you for the reply!! I do however believe that the DS is more than capable of handling the Megadrive., but look at it this way why are we wasting time arguing here? LETS ALL JUST GET BEHIND THE CODERS!!!!

[scrabbus]

ok?

[DarkworldPrince]

haha... sounds good :P

I'm more likely to humph my DS around with me everywhere cos it can take alot more damage than the psp.

Just to let you all know btw, I got my M3 perfect through yesterday. I loved my supercard, but... well. I *really* want to play gba games... and I was getting riled up about save issues and slowdown and things. I can honestly say that the M3 is absolutely incredible. What a system!!! Even all emulators work for me now! and not those awful little GBA ones! NesDS really is a bit good

Gave Picodrive a shot, and it's really coming along! almost as good as LJZ on zodiac! Not tried Snezzi yet, but even if I can only get a few games working. I can still put the rest on my psp.

I just splashed out and bought a 360 :P hehe... I have too many consoles....
