Wow, very surprised to see this topic and all the major players interested in it! I wish you guys all the luck and thanks for taking it on!

I really missed  snemulds, used to chat with archeid on pocket heaven all the time when it was active. It'll be interesting to see how it can improve from there. The sound obviously left a lot to be desired. And as Normmatt said compatibility was lacking due to syncing issues, i have hope for the future. Not expecting special chip games of course.

What of background and sprite layer priorities? Could any improvements be made there? And do any of you think that the code could be ported to something like the Supercard DSTWO or iplayer for further improvements in speed and compatibility? Maybe even special chip games (since the official emu for those can do that). Just idle questions on my part. Thanks! And good lucky guys, i'm rooting for you.

Best of luck on this, you guys. With all of you working so well together, it'll be interesting to see how well you will do

Funny thing, Megaman X actually runs better on an optimized  SNEmulDS than it does on CAT/BAG/NDSSFC, so if someone does decide to pick this up I'll be waiting and watching.

That doesn't surprise me at all actually. From what i've heard, the DSTWO SNES emulator is a port of SNES9x. You are probably aware of all the many mobile systems snes9x was ported to (smartphones, the dingoo, psp, pandora, gamepark, etc). Snemulds on the other hand is not based on snes9x, it was originally and specifically coded to work on the DS and only the DS. It took code from snezziboy and such, but it wasn't based off snes9x from what i gather. So it's really no great surprise how different they are.

The DSTWO emulators are slower, but they're more advanced in every way and use more power to improve compatibility, reduce graphical glitches, and improve sound quality. They even support (to some extent, speed is hit or miss) special chip games like Mario RPG, Yoshi's Island, etc. SnemulDS is faster, but at the cost of much much lower compatibility, crappier sound, and what amounts to tons of graphical glitches and sprite/background layer priories. Two entirely different emulators coded in different ways. So not at all surprising the more advanced and compatible one runs slower, even on faster hardware.

Got an answer from Archeide telling me he is glad to see his project rebirthed. He will try his best to help if his memory can recall some part of his code as it was so long ago.

I'd love to play FFV, VI, Super Metroid, Earthbound and others...
There are graphic and other glitches on Snemulds.

I hope that new project will be success.

@mbmax - so you'll be posting the release in this thread ?

[Mbmax]

When we get something to release i will compile it and provide it on the google code svn yes.
For now the r2 isn't usable but it's compilable with the last dkp which is already a great step, thanks to Normmatt.

SnemulDS is a port of Snemul, which was not originally coded for the DS. It's by the same guy, but it's still a port.

Kind of. It did start out as a port of his PC emulator Snemul. But later on, he essentially completely rewrote the emulator entirely and imported the core from snezzi. I doubt there's much in terms of similar code between snemul and snemulds anymore. Archeid said something to that effect once.

@avenir : The last sources available are the one of the 0.6WIP2.

Where did you find them? I was under the impression that Avenir was right.

First post edited with the svn and trac from the 0.6WIP2.

Because he is out of loop since a long time now and he probably doesn't care much to update his old blog.
