GP32 New Gp32 Emu?

If Gp32Linux uses the MMU, then I don't think mine will use it either as it doesn't support the MMU as yet, and I think it may slow down the emulation too much to put it in.
Ok, sad.

Will your emu be useable even without MMU support?


A bit OOT question:
Culd you please make gpdrive work with linux? I'm not skilled enough to do it myself, but I can send some debug and do some tests... I don't understand why it does not work already, because USB shouldn t be OS-dependant...

Well, most programs use the MMU in a way, but most don't *depend* on it, so the only programs that will not work will be GpAdvance and probably GpLinux.

This is why I don't think it's worthwhile implementing - it's very rarely used to it's full capability anyway. Most of the time it's simply to turn off the caching for sound buffers.

I tried to make GpDrive usable on as many operating systems as possible, but I've ended up with no idea of why it doesn't work, so I can't fix it and have given up. I suspect it to be timing problems, but I've no idea of how to fix.
