What's the point in making NDS emulator , that won't have a good performance. Maybe it would be possible to emulate with no sound, ~9 or more framskip, but again what's the point ?

[ganxta]

but there is vbag outthere and has really good performance . and its 24 bit, snes just 16 bit. i play a lot gta advance on my innov.

Actually the GBA is 32 bit risc, almost like the one i PSX, i mean that the only diff. is that the GBA is 26,66 mhz, and the PSX is 33,33mhz, when will u maybe do the psx emu??

[khan4251]

FIRST:Gba is not 26 its 16,66
SECOND-Gba is ARM7 risc ,PSX is RISC ut not ARM (Our nokia phones are arm 9 ,11)
THIRD:You dont need to emulate only CPU, you need to emulate entire console GPU audio chips,etc. and there is problem with having all synchronized)

ganxta,
LasseKilde,
you really don't know what you're talking about.

yes, you have to figure out what emulation means!

at first a emulator have to simulate the Hardware of the the System to
start a ROM, or game data's. (simulate BIOS)

then writing every single command to the System it should be run on!
thats far away from simple! some commands have to be splittet in two,
three or more ones or conversely!

then distribute the right command to the right hardware,

you can't imagine, how much power is needed to arrange this steps!!!

and at least the system have to own enough rest power to run graphic
commands, for showing anything on your display... except the memory commands....

no way, not finished yet...

every single step back to the Simulatet BIOS, in order that the Emulator knows whats next frame to do.

of course reprogramming a game especially for a System and it runs
without problems, but it will take the same or much more expenses that
the original...

i hope i explained it a way, so everybody understands the last
sites discussing about "the phone have enough power" and "back
in time, my low PC runs" are totally shit!

Ok my bad, and yes I know it hard to emulate hardware from another system on all different hardware.. But I think that maybe the PSX can be done, with some almost playable results, but I deffentlig dont think that N64 is the best to start with... Someone could try out a saturn or something like that, then if it works well move on to the PSX.

I think emlating the saturn is way harder than both the PS1 and N64. Super NES and NeoGeo are easier to emulate, why? My DS can emulate them

Ohh I se, the PSX is only one 32 bit running at 33,33mHz, and the Saturn is 2 x 32 bits both running at 24,54mHz, that be a problem.
Maybe we should do some old console, I havent seen an Amiga 500 or 600 emu for s60, isn't that correct or is it just me?
And another thing not that I know if it is the problem, but the SNES came with extra RAM in the game Cadtiges, because some game need more than the mascine could offer. I though that this could be one of the problems emulating the SNES. Because we have the Picodrive for megadrive, it runs close to smooth, and the hardware is nearly simulary, and if I remember correct the Megadrive is a bit better, but doesn't have extra ram in the game catridges.
But i'm not 100% sure if that is the problem.

what about n82 and n95.could the psp games work on them with some emulator?
here are the spec. of psp
# CPU: PSP CPU (System clock frequency 1~333MHz)
# Main Memory: 32MB
# Embedded DRAM: 4MB
n82 has better cpu and more ram..and it has GPU
