I think you would need 3D hardwear to emulate N64 but maybe we could get more than 2 fps out of a psx emulator lolDanGP posted on Apr 29 2005 at 04:23 PM said:Yeah not practical, would be cool if it was though full speed n64 emulation might be possible.
Is that really, real? Really?DanGP posted on Apr 29 2005 at 04:48 PM said:I'm sure if you put in a 400mhz ARM9 like the gizmondo has you'd get more than 2 fps
Also there no need for 3D hardware (although it would make emulation faster) because someone has got a GP32 N64 emulator here http://www.ifrance.com/gp64project/screens.htm although I bet it's about 1 fps

Yeah didn't think of that.With changing the CPU to make the GP faster, You have to take in to consideration the bus and memory speed, Which would not be made any faster with the CPU upgrade.
you have a cool jobSquidge posted on Apr 30 2005 at 07:56 AM said:Of course you can get arm developer boards - I have one myself (embedded software is my main job), but the GP32 still doesn't have embedded software in it's ARM9 chip, which was the point I was trying to make.
Fishbong posted on Apr 29 2005 at 07:19 PM said:Also please don´t forget that a processor always has embedded software in it
Squidge posted on Apr 29 2005 at 09:37 PM said:What embedded software? The only software present is the code run at startup, which is the gp32 firmware.
Fishbong posted on Apr 29 2005 at 07:19 PM said:AND you would need to:
-get a developer board to change the embedded software (impossible if you´re not an employee of a big Samsung parter)
-somehow change the frontside bus frequency and the memory freqency
Squidge posted on Apr 29 2005 at 09:37 PM said:The memory frequency/etc can be changed in software by changing the values in the memory controller.

Squidge posted on Apr 29 2005 at 09:37 PM said:So, yes, it *is* possible, just not practical.
