Emulation Super NES emulator for GBA?

[Daedalus]

On the other hand, if you're writing an emulator, and expect everyone to worship you, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. I give respect where respect is due, which is why I hate intro's on GBA roms. I hope this is real, and can play a good selection of roms. I'll be happy with Shadowrun working untill it's ported to the GBA

Not to bring down everyone's spirits and such, but what you're requesting is huge. Chrono Trigger? That game can barely run on most any Pocket PC (at 400mhz, although thats not really important). Super Mario RPG? That game had a special chip inside of that probably won't be emulated at all. If it will, it won't have a good speed. SD3 is one of those complex games, like Chrono Trigger and FF3 (FF6j). I don't know how well loopy can make this emulator, but lets keep our expectations low for the time being. No one wants to hear people complaining when "teh best RPG EEVAR!111!" doesn't work on their seriously underpowered GBA.

Well then, maybe the project could migrate over to the PSP then. But, that's a thread for PSPtemp.

either that or get a gp32 lol

Wow! You people are tense.
You wanna know why Loopy set up the page?
So we tester could download the source and help him out.
If you manage to crack the password you would still need to compile the binary.

Move on!...

 

[dris]

Any what figure password of this ZIP file is there?

 

[ciama81]

I don't know what dris is tryin to say, but i have a realer question than when is it coming, are the pics at the "teaser" site compressed to fit on the gba screen or must they be scrolled ??? Great Job Loopy!!!

 

[loopy]

Oh yeah and crack the zip if ya want....
i bet you never want to see the emulator released then eh?

I love it, total test of the mentality of the people an emulator author will have to "Support".
And you're failing miserably.

I couldn't have put it better myself. You are all retards.

The very authors of numerous other GBA emulators confirm on multiple boards that they are working on a SNES emulator. Is it true? Impossible! It must be fake!

Again, the author himself announces a progress page, to give the masses a peek into what's going on. Another fake! Fuck this, I'm gonna announce (on the very boards he visits, no less) that I'm hacking the zips to uncover the truth.

Let's do a technical analysis. Some bullet points for ya:

1) The GBA can emulate a NES without much problem.
2) It's no more difficult for the GBA to emulate SNES-comparable graphics than it is to emulate NES. Why's that? The GBA's graphics processor is designed nearly identically to the SNES's. Can you say HLE? Yeah, no shit sherlock.
3) The SNES CPU runs 1.5x - 2x faster than the NES.
4) I've announced on occasion that the emulator runs at least about half speed of a real SNES. Hmm, lemme check. Yep, the numbers DO seem to match up.
5) You've already seen that even the PC Engine, which has a clock speed twice that of the SNES, is possible to emulate with reasonable speed.

Put the pieces together, gents. Anyone with half a brain should be able to come to the same conclusion: it IS possible, and in fact it IS being done. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to release a buggy, broken, incomplete emulator. I'd probably be crucified by you folks for having the GALL to give you a SNES emulator for free that can't run all your favorite games yet.

oh, and please please PLEASE don't start a flood of WE LOVE YOU LOOPY posts. I'm not fishing for compliments here. I just had to vent about all the idiocy floating around here as of late.

 

[Elrinth]

WOA !!! It's loopy, tho you haven't answered me @ pocketnes board!! =D

HLE = High Level Emulation.. Sweet!!

Thanx for that GREAT explanation, you're the best. and by saying all that, u even mean sound emulation to a certain degree is even possible. (Pc-Engine's got some sound =D)

 

[amongmyselves]

Thanx for clearing that up Loopy, i hope this will put an end to the rush of "I M A l337 H4x0r! OMG I'll h4ck the Gibs0n!!!" posts...

 

[Inu268]

thanks for clearing that up loopy......i believed you did that page just to mess with us(because of the pass protect)and i never bothered myself to download it.....and i did not know you and never tried that pocketnes emu,so that is why i was believing you were just messing around......now i going to shut up and wait.....

 

[Aniram]

Thanks...now I hope that proved some things to the morons that still believe it's fake...

 

[zloty]

I don't really care if it doesn't run at full speed or some games don't load...I just want full access to whatever he has at the moment on his website so I can see for myself it's real. I will wait for speed hacks and everything, but until then I want to atleast play a crappy speed game so I know it atleast works a little bit.

sigh.....aniram once again shutup before u get more angry posts directed at u


back to the true topic at hand, cant wait for this emu i didnt think it'd be possible for snes to be emulated on gba, the first time i came to this board my first post was asking if it can be done, and i got shot down in flames by ppl screaming at me to use the search option, oops

 

[Leo111]

Um, sorry if I may be dumb, or super dumb, but I read the whole 15 pages of this topic and didnt get what the hell is that site you´ll all talking about.

Link please?

 

[Elrinth]

Yeah, I'd always think it'd be possible to emulate the snes on the gba.. cause of the opcodes were kinda similar. though I was kinda disencouraged cause of the gba soundchip which is very bad IMO.

and after this, the pogoshell 2.0 working for EZ2 flash cart, jpeg viewer better support for pogo, then I'm kinda satisfied with everything regarding GBA

 

[bolton2]

lol password protected zip files are crap when you have a zip password remover proggy lol

but good ting i never decided to download that lol. well im just exercising my patience

lol. i cant wait to see this on the gba. thank goodness for smart people that can do this stuff, lol its like my phrase, "you make game me play game" lol id never even think of such stuff and yet popel know alll this stuff. makes ya envious, but hey they study and make the stuff and i just play it

lol

 

[jayminer]

only 7 lol's in that post, I think you could have squeezed in a couple more

 

[Leo111]

^ Actually, there are 7 lol´s.

Edit: Oh u corrected it

nm

Ontopic: Can anyone PLEASE tell me what zip file is that?!?!?

 

[Inu268]

Ontopic: Can anyone PLEASE tell me what zip file is that?!?!?

yes,its the zip file cointaing something from the emu(dont know what it is....i believe that it was writte in the site......and they are password protected,and you need more than that to run the emu(wich isnt avaiable right now))and the link for the site got removed......and i dont remember it......now lets just wait for the snes emu.....and some1 might develop a game cube emu for the gba to......anh.....might not happen....

christ, you people know how to beat a dead horse.
It's the source code to the emulator, ok? Hence the name SRC.ZIP.

If I intended for you to have what's in it, it wouldn't be protected. Just stop fscking worrying about it.

God dude why are you bringing up a post pages back that I already said I was wrong about?

...some people need to read on.
