Cell Phone emulation

[Cereal]

I've been really interested in the quality of cell phone games these days and wondering how hard it would be to emulate Cell phones.

Theres tons of great titles for Japanese cell phones.
For example
Imode has FF1 and FF2, FF4
V602sh has a very well done version of Ys6

Heres a little flash preview of Ys6
So in general does anyone have any interest in this?

Sigh those are emulators on cell phones i'm talking about emulating the actual cellphone.

there is very little in that area on PC, so until that happens it probably wont happen for DC.

That i know of there are only 2 emulators ever that were written specifically for the DC, and one of them doesnt really count =P

Why do we need pc ports? Are you saying cd coders arent good enough to make orginal emulators?

[Saoshyant]

Yes, quzar probably means that as _most_ coders simply port open-source emulators on PC for the Dreamcast. Yes, someone probably could do it, a japanese cell phone emulator Dreamcast-only, but I kinda doubt it, though we never know...

If you wish to know my opinion I agree with you that it would be cool.

There has been ONE emulator only that was written specifically for the Dreamcast. Therefore there pretty much has to be a PC emulator first.

[Saoshyant]

Can you (or someone else in case you can't) tell us more about such only emulator? So far at least in this thread I have seen very little information.

Anyway, if it does have to be first a PC version, so be it. The point is that a Dreamcast-exclusive emulator can be done, while the problem is that it seems to there be very little interest.

I remeber crt0's emulator. Wrote for DC only. A Sega Genesis emulator. It got to about 50% speed with sound before he vanished. I think reaper and him had a fight and he quit after that.
If you need tech documents to help the write the emulator I can provide detailed ones I think. Or at least core parts. There probably common and simple it is a cell phone after all. Even tho the 602Sh produces graphics better than psx... its still much weaker.

Actually i was referring to Dreamengine...
