[quote author=curt_grymala link=board=dcemu;num=1082494155;start=135#138 date=06/07/04 at 23:17:45]This is fantastic news, Scherzo. Â*You came out of nowhere (to those of us completely oblivious to any scene other than DC), and came on strong. Â*You are doing some amazing things for the scene, and I am really looking forward to all of your future releases. Â*Super Famicast has already exceeded my expectations, and it's only your second attempt at it. Â*Keep it up. Â* ;D[/quote]

...I'd like to second that

I have been adding to it slowly but cd theft has left me bereft of my some of my archives including the nester cheat file and my dreamsnes GG patch disk
and thanks to Christuserloeser for helping me get back on track[/quote]
Well, I'm still in the middle of re-porting NNNesterJ. But if everything goes well, it's pretty safe to assume that the new port will have the same level of compatibility as NNNesterJ 0.23.

Well i would like to say that you are doing some very hard work i would like to say for 2004 that its amazing how far of a progress you got on the Snes emu and i believe myself how more progress will becoming now we already have a Nes emulator but i am not putting that project down as i am going to download that cause of new features and other things. there is one thing i would recommend and i am not sure if it has been asked i have MsPacMan on nintendo and this is a game i used to play with ma back in the old days the controls aren't very compatible in Nester DC and i hope it can be repaired for your next version

Bare with me here my punctuation is crap

Thanks

@Scherzo: A guy named 16Bits joined in recently and he says that he's working on an SH4 ASM core for the NES 6502. You might want to contact him about that. Also there's an open source code out for the 6502 core in DC compatible SH2 too. Third try, one more time:

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/...;start=120#120

As Ian Micheal posted here that Gleam used a 6502 SH2 ASM cpu core for NES emulation. The source is available. Maybe that'll help to get a NesterDC speed up too ?

I still don't know if that emu (Gleam) runs at a reasonable speed but one should not only judge by its end result anyway, as the core could be fast even if the overall emulation speed wasn't fast at all.
Maybe a optimized NesterDC C core is faster than this old SH2 ASM core?

And last but not least the NES uses nothing but an older version of the 65c816 CPU that you already have in SHx ASM.
I wonder because I thought I've read that Nintendo had the idea of an downward NES compatible SuperNES so they modified the NES core for the SNES a bit but it is almost the same CPU as far as I know.
Don't know if it's interesting at all cause they might differ on some key issues and I bet there were some ppl that already would have noticed that fact.

hey chris are you suggesting a Muilti platform DC emu. one for nes and snes.
If It were possible then I think that the DC community would be the first one with it. and since we are talking about nester and snes9x two extremly kickass emus.........WAIT a minute i guess you could just use sbi's and put them individually on the same disc. and cd space might get cramped anyway.
but maybe, it's just crazy enough to work

[Christuserloeser]

Actually I've not thought of an multi platform emulator 4 DC, I was just guessing that it could be that the CPU cores could be somewhat compatible - all the other stuff (special Memory Mappers, VDP, sound units etc) are completly different. I'd always prefer a single system emulator over an Multi platform emu anyway - but who knows what tomorrow brings...?

Yes, SBIs are pretty easy to do your own Multi platform emu disc.

First of all, you would have to have an incredible amount of roms in order to fill up an entire CD with nothing but SNES and NES roms (especially since Super Famicast already supports zipped roms, and Nester SE will also support zipped roms).

Secondly, there already sort of is a multi-console emu for the PC. It's called MESS. Many of it's components have been ported to the DC, but I don't think it would really be possible to combine more than one of them together.

[guymelef]

I used mess once about 3 years ago and it was a total mess. Â*and it just got an update today so maybe I'll hop on over to zophar.net and check it out. Â*oh yeah there was also DARCDC what ever happened to that? what about the mamedc stuff haven't heard from them either. Those single game mame was cool especially if we got some sbi's for them.

I would like to add that not only is scherzo a great coder, he is a great friend. We talk alot on AIM and he is a fudging awesome person. I notice that pce emulation is possible in your agenda, that made my head rool in the back of my head in excitment, to play soldier blade and Legendary Axe on my TV again after having a broken Turbo would bring oh so happy days in my life again, Turbo Graphix was a great system, I miss it . I also love the NES wish them systems could come back, DAMN YOU 3D Gamers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

im new here, then hi all, keep the good work ;D hhmm im not new at all, but its my first post:

scherzo, let me tell you something: SFC is very good. im not a coder, then you can say its good for me, therere chances to do it very better. But i love emus, i just dont play DC games at all, only emus/HB, for 2 years or so. you can say i dont know about programming or coding, but you cant say i dont know about good emus! and your SFC is fairly good!
i hear only good impressions about SFC in all brazillian and south american emu forums, emu fans and snes fans are very happy with SFC. then, its time to forget the problems, and think about how good you are, and about how good is see DCemu comunnity working togheter.

keep the good work, you will have more and more sucess, but only if you believe in yourself.

Be True to Yourself!
