New Super Famicast & NesterDC SE releases imminent

[lantus]

Scherzo, it might be possible to have your codebase included into the official Snes9x CVS tree - which is only open to developers at this time. If your interested, drop funkyass a pm/email on the official Snes9x board.

I made a post on my site some days ago about this DC Emu being the "real" DC Emu, so I've been calling the other one fake I don't care for oo7cheatah much, so I pick on DC Emu alot.

I'm not sure if that's necessary right now since I assume that's what is happening to DreamSNES right now. Kind of like being eaten by the big monster, or, better put, returning to the Architect. LOL

It would be a very dedicated task which could be written in ARM assembler. There's much more people that know ARM than SH4 because of Gameboy Advance. If we could get someone like Loopy to help, that would be awesome. Of course, Loopy is plenty busy with his kickbutt project.

Does the ARM have its own memory like the PVR or does it use system memory? If it has its own memory then I'd worry about how much would data would have to be sent back and forth between that memory and the SH4 because then you'd have a similar slowdown when sending too much to video memory.

I know this might sound crazy, but maybe a whole new emulator could be written from scratch in assembler using snes9x as a guide. Im pretty sure that's what Loopy did with SNES Advance.

I'm all for teamwork. Yeah, at the beginning I wanted to work on it all myself, do everything I could by myself. Now I'm hitting roadblocks like DSNES did. Anyone is perfectly free to download the source and analyze it, screw around with it.

What would you all think about me opening a sourceforge project for Super Famicast? Then I could carefully which coders have CVS access and we could really make this a team effort.[/quote]

The ARM has its own memory 2mb afaik just like the PVR. It would be cool to have a sourceforge project for it. and starting it from scratch in asm would probably take longer and not work as well as just continually rewriting parts of it in asm.

Nice V2 scherzo. Yeah, its a bit slower than DreamSNES but still a nice release. I really liked. And I think your're doing right!

[wraggster]

great release, keep em coming

[Christuserloeser]

There was a discussion with Heliophobe, BlackAura and Ian Micheal here in this forum topic about the sound chip thing. It's a great idea and I don't think they thought about overclocking it.

[scherzo]

Thanks for the link to that topic. Sometimes I foget everything that's been talked about. I think it would be worth the time to experiment with the ARM a little. Like write a couple of demos that test basic functionality and also push it's limits a little. We'd at least gain some knowledge, right?

[Christuserloeser]

I love your energy

[wraggster]

well you only get somewhere by trying, hopefully the scene as a whole can help and in turn do the scene a favour
