Sega CD Emulator for DS?

[RockmanHX]

Is there any Sega CD Emulator for DS yet?

[kickasspats]

theres not even a fully working genesis emulator... what makes u think theres even a working Sega CD Emulator?

It shouldn't be hard, but there isn't Sega CD emulator for consoles/handhelds (except on Xbox -illegaly- and GP2X)

If by "It shouldn't be hard" you mean hundreds of hours of work for an emu that will run very slow, then i agree

The Sega CD is VERY hard to emulate. Do you remember how long it took the PC emulators to get decent Sega CD emulation?
The DS is already at its absolute limit with just the Genesis and the SegaCD has an additional M68000 cpu, that is even clocked 50% faster than the Genesis main cpu and of course a lot of other hardware, that adds overhead.
As much as i would like to see it (or even do it) i doubt it will ever happen...

So the Genesis emus don't support Sega CD?

They don't support any of the add-ons (CD & 32X)

Great, so no one is working on one or anything? Man......

Did you read my last post?
If anyone would ever attempt that and somehow get something working, it would run so slow, that you would be the first to complain. Its just not worth the incredible amount of work needed.

You are free to write one yourself, of course

hmm... so is a 32X emulater posible? or is that to hard also?

Possible yes, but it would run even slower. The 32X has 4 CPUs. The 2 Genesis ones + 2 23MHz SH2s, which are the same ones working in a Saturn. The pure processing power is not so much away from the DS itself.
This is just a guess, but i think if it would be incredibly optimized it could run at about 1-2 fps.
