    It isn't about the source code, it's about Mbmax,
    he is experienced and know people who have already worked with snes sound emulation on nds.
    The idea is, if Mega-Mario contacted him, he could know people who could help with the project.

    Would SuperFX emulation be possible? Or is the DS just too weak?

    No. I was the one who ported SnemulDS to the latest devkitarm/libnds at the time. Mbmax isn't a developer. I don't know much if anything detailed about the snes either.

    Depends on how much power it'll take to emulate those games.

    What is certain is that it won't be LLE.

    If i'm not mistaken i think he is refering to low-level emulation (for the average person: accurate but slow)
    the oposite is HLE -> High-level emulation (less accurate but fast)

    In the context of programmable chips, LLE is emulating the chip as, well, a chip. Executing every instruction, just like on the real thing. HLE is emulating the chip's overall functionality in high level.

    HLE is faster, but less accurate. It also ignores the timings the original chip would normally have, causing special chip games to run faster than they should.

    For a 3GHz PC, LLE is fine, but in the case of the underpowered DS, HLE would be the only way to go.

    I remembered of Mbmax creating a thread for the rebirth of snesmulds,
    I tought he was the main coder of the reborn project, sorry for the mistake.

    Oh... Low Level Emulation. So HLE causes speedups? I suppose that's better than frameskip 10 with 1 fps...

    In a nutshell, yes, HLE aims to speed up emulation as much as possible while sacrificing accuracy, LLE is the opposite.

    If lolSNES eventually runs at 60 FPS with HUD squishing like SnemulDS and not give me a seizure every time the game changes areas like CATSFC you have all of my internet cookies.

    I'd love to try the latest version. I'll try getting it to build here.

    ..if I can lol

    Edit: Got it built. F-Zero tries so damn hard to work (I can navigate the menus, however they are buggy, and the Training course selection kinda works. The GP course selection just fails outright. Absolutely no sound, either.). And Sutte Hakkun also tries (a single blip of blue), but gets errored out.

    I'm really excited to see this emulator, and I can't wait for future versions.

    You need to get the latest devKitPro.
