Porting GP32 Emus to the Dreamcast

[BBS]

i heard that the dc was run with a part of windows ce? Is that right? Could it be easier to port an emu from win32 to dc?

All the major games had releases on st, and were pretty nice too.

Well for one there computers not consoles. Amiga is better in every way that could be why?.

ST games were not as good. Colours were washed out the sound was poor compared tot he stereo sound of the amiga. Workbench was better. Amiga was used in making titles for tv shows and movies. Was all round more powerfull and better.


Amiga is impossable to emulate at even half speed with out sound on the dreamcast. It's 4 times more complex then a snes.

DMA modes are very complex. Dreamcast does not have the power to emulate the Amiga.

Atari ST is far less power full and has no Complex modes like the amiga. And can run emulated ona lowly system like the GP32 fullspeed and sound.
