GBA Emu for DC Update

[DCEmu_Newsposter]

Ian Michael has posted some great screenshots of the new GBA emu running on his Dreamcast, also he posted this:[br][br]I just got a 8 meg rom to load CASTLE VANIA circle of the moon. It loads Wow dude. Did you try this game. Grafix are messed once you get into the game but it does load and display the title screen [br] [br]Seems some 8 meg games load. [br][br]Check out all the screenshots on this [br] Page [br][br]Thanks Ian for the screenshots and news, keep it coming. [br][br]infact heres more from Ian[br][br]"Ok Ive tested the emulator. It's Amazing to see this running on the dc. Surprizing was it loaded every game i tryed under 4 meg Seems to load the same compatable wize which is great. Menus work, settings and look rather nice colours were a bit off on the menus but perfect when playing games. [br][br]Game speed is about 5 to 10 fps at a guess. On retail games i tryed. I will be taking some photos and puting them up here for him. Emulator is very promising brought a tear to my eye to see the impossable brought to life by Troy davis GPF. Playing with the settings sound does work just sounds wrong did not really effect speed it seems ."[br][br]Cool Stuff

Got 2 hours sleep last night

Now I am at work, but I am working on GBA don't tell my boss

Actually I can only compile it at work, my home computer doesn't have enough memory to compile the code. And my computer at home is an old Athlon 700 mhz, I got a 2 gighz pentium at work. Still takes about 30 minutes to compile

Also I noticed on the new GBA page you created it has information about Chanka

I have only tried a couple of PD roms - found a cool port of frogger. I orignally ported the GP32 port of the GBA emulator to the PC and then ported that to the dreamcast.

I ran into some problems along the way, the precompiled sh-elf cygwin tools kept blowing up trying to compile it, so I ended up setting up the DEV-CPP environment precompiled DCFreeDev 1.0 . Spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how to switch the language to English
Then I fixed and replaced the SDL lib for KOS 1.2.0 with all the patches so I could get sound partially working.

Here is a link to a bunch of PD gba roms
