[wraggster]

so im getting to catch up on everything

[GPF]

yeah, just got back from 2 weeks in Arizona. 15 hour drive each way from/to Dallas, Texas. I need a vacation from my vacation.

All of the splash screen ideas are great.

I am very busy right now, but I have a couple of things I would like to finish first though, but it depends on my freetime. I might just release it and let others help me finish it.

It's great to see you back, GPF. I hope things went well on your vacation.

I'd wait at least a bit with the release, atm it's just another GBC emulator.
IMO if you release the emu in this early status, it would disappoint too much people that won't believe that it is possible to emulate GBA at a proper speed. That would be bad for the interest in your promising project.

Another thought:
What's with this 'store qeues' thing that speud did with NeoCD? It speeded the emulation up a lot.

PS: Great to you around again

Good to be back

Its more a matter of my time depending on when I will release it. I have had some big changes in my family life, and my computer room is now my son's bedroom/computer room, so I don't get to do any more late night coding anymore, untill I get my wife'
s laptop wireless access, so I can vnc to my computer to code. or code at work using Chanka to test.

I am actually alreading using DMA to render to the PVR for the GBA video rendering, I am only using SDL to render the GBC emulation. Don't know if Store Queues are faster than using PVR dma rendering in this emulator.

I know how that goes. It's not easy, but you'll get used to it. I hope everything is ok.
I know this is easy for me to say, seeing as how I have the beta, but take your time. We'll still be here when you get things straightened out.

Also, kungpow told me that the GBA emu on Xbox actually uses a frameskip of 5 or 6 to play commercial GBA games, so your emu is really not all that much farther behind that one. You will get it straightened out. Maybe you should just increase the maximum frameskip to around 10 for now, and see how that looks.

This silly topic never actually shows the latest post.

Yup. Now I can see page 8, but I couldn't until Wraggs posted.
