I was responding to his statement that he would attempt a dreamcast emu, not ps2. And it is actually reasonably possible to get 5-10 fps on a dreamcast emu.

Older ones at least don't. I've got a few 1997 machines and I have dumped the ROMs just fine. I think the only protection they have is a checksum to stop people casually changing the code.christo930 said:Aren't fruit machines (real ones anyway) very heavily protected with strong encryption? I'm talking machines that end up in Atlantic City and Vegas, not those machines you see at hobby stores.
Why not port the fruit machine emulator to the gp2x?
I code in C++ and there is in fact an open source ps2 emulator, NeutrinoSX2.palmertech said:Just know that though it would be cool if it works, speed is likely to be in the 5-10 fps range, and that is if you are lucky. Here is a suggestion: Forget dreamcast for know, it is really hard to emulate. Look at the emulator sticky in Pandora general, and see if there are any emulators that appeal to you that no one has yet signed up for. To make a dreamcast or ps2 emulator, you need IMMENSE knowledge of how the system works, and there are no open source emulators for either system. My suggestion would be to try your hand at a GBC emulator, as there is a pretty big hole in that category, and the effort would probably be appreciated. What language do you code in? I might be able to help.

Gameboy Color should be fun, but i'm gonna attempt to make a port of my fruit machine emu for now. like I said, I'm no super dev, and I can't make a GBC emulator in like half a day (probably even less, somebody will have to correct me on that) like other devs. I'll see if I can find an open source GBC emulator and port it, for now.
bye!
open source ? so where is the source ? it seems to be just a freeware, not an open source project.
EDIT : ok, found it. I guess it's open source.
EDIT2 : but it has just an interpreter unlike the other open source PS2 emulator, so you'll definitely need a strong desktop computer to run it (and supposedly it can run your commercial games disks as well).

i meant ps2 =] you should've known that. BD-R's are 25gb, even worse.

You see! Exophase is actually secretly working on a PS2 emulator! Its the only logical explanation! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Should that be read as an offer to buy emulator developers quad-core systems?PoisonedV said:I only wish emulators would start taking advantage of quad core, they would really benefit from it.
