What Emulator WON'T run on a DS *N64*

[gronne]

I'm by no means an expert but doesn't emulation also depend on factors like similar hardware? I have in mind N64 and the psp had some similar hardware that made it a lot easier to port it to the psp.

[Mr_Biggs]

yeah, similar hardware makes things easier, since that's a bit of hardware that doent need to be emulated. idk abou the psp and n64, but that was a bit of magic there.

My few pennies worth on this topic:

1) Good idea, first off but i have a few suggestions man:

2) N64 emulation CAN happen, just not COMMERCIAL roms, PD roms (or public domain) only draw on the framebuffer and not technical features such as COP1(floating point)/COP2(vectors) etc, and in my opinion a lot of the PD roms for the n64 rock!

3) Hardware is too broader term also (this is directed at gronne) they both use MIPS CPU's but they're are certain other features that the PSP lacks and that is the "Magic" that Mr Biggs reffers to.

4) 6/7 times is not a general rule, it just depends on the console in question, ie, the limitations it imposes that the cpu needs to make up for.

Hope thats a little more specific for everyone

Thanks for the input Xion.

When i say N64 emulation cant happen on a DS, i mean you cant have all the hardware emulated to the point we have playable commercial games. if your description of emulation was the true definition, then dreamcast on xbox would be considered possible, even though it would be the BIOS menu only.

the N64 emu on psp, and not it's functions, is magic, friend. ;D if the PSP had some better games and went without FW updates, i would buy one.

I know the x6/7 power statement isnt a rule of thumb, but i said that as a bare minimum for systems.

[XioN980]

i knew you meant commerical games
I'll admit i was a little pedantic but it just annoys me sometimes when people say"XXX emulation isn't possible" full emulation isn't but 7 times in 10 PD roms can be, if people support homebrew surely they would enjoy N64 homebrew games (although the emulators available for the N64 will probably not run )

Go here for several PD Roms:

i reccomend the pong game, it actually works nice and smooth as apposed to a lot of pong hacks which just plain suck, if i ever get some time i may do an N64 PD Rom emu just for a joke lol.


But dont quote me on that rofl

peace out

You can shove your stickies up your arse.

[Mr_Biggs]

i dont have room to shove "your stickies up your arse", your head is taking up too much room. did you join DCEmu just to make that crappy stupid comment? you do know, fighting online is like competing in the special olympics. even if you win, you're still retarded.

[pgtyner]

Processor speed isn't all that you have to consider an 8-bit processor running at 16mhz is not faster than a 16-bit processor running at 12mhz.

[pgtyner]

The DS and the N64 might be different speeds but is the processor the same? I have a Centrino Dus that is clocked slower than my Athlon was but runs much faster....

[juz098]

Well Mr Biggs explain me this


WHAT WILL NOT RUN OR BE BOTHERED WITH:
Sony Playstation
Sega Saturn
Nintendo 64
Neo-Geo MVS(?)
and anything newer

GENERAL EMULATION POINTERS:
to emulate a game system, the system to run the emulator on must be 7 times as powerful(as ive heard) so, a DS with it's 67(?)mhz processor will NOT run a N64 emulator, as the N64 has a 97mhz processor. same goes for playstation on ds, with lesser specs.

so, in recap:
if a game system is close to as powerful as the system to have an emulator, that system cannot be emulated.

Now, if anyone asks for a N64 or NGMVS emulator, you have exposed yourself to the line of dissing fire. the info is RIGHT HERE(well, up there ^) and there's no excuse not to have it.(if it gets stickied hint hint)

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U WERE WRONG NOOB!!!
