Fatal Rose Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 So how long after DSEmu is out will we be expecting an emulator to soon follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 DSEmu is the emulator. Right now it is at version 0.0.1b. Just check out the main page for the latest news: http://dsemu.oopsilon.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 (edited) I'll take a guess: when people have the full tech specs and docs of the DS... Plus, i'd like to see how they pull off the touch screen thing emulator-wise.To answer my own question, I think the developer should ultimately go down similar path to the PalmOS emulator.

Two9A Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I'll take a guess: when people have the full tech specs and docs of the DS... And you'd be right in that. Some people are speculating on how the DS renders the 3D information in memory, but they're getting poor results. It's wise to hold back on trying anything like that. To answer my own question, I think the developer should ultimately go down similar path to the PalmOS emulator. Do tell. I've not heard the story of the PalmOS emu before.

L.S.D Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I'll take a guess: when people have the full tech specs and docs of the DS... Plus, i'd like to see how they pull off the touch screen thing emulaor-wise.To answer my own question, I think the developer should ultimately go down similar path to the PalmOS emulator.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> For touch screen, they might implement using mouse dragging??Click and drag = touch screen.

Agozer Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) Do tell. I've not heard the story of the PalmOS emu before.You can get the emulator from Palm's own site. You need to get those BIOS images or dump your own first to use it at all. Basically the PalmOS emulator just emulate touch screen via mouse input; You select icons with the mouse as you would with the actual pen. You can type memos and stuff like that by simply typing with the keyboard or by drawing shapes with the mouse (the "pen" needs to be calibrated first of course).

That's too far in the future for me to even contemplate methods of emulation right now, though; you don't mind if I pay more attention to graphics and sound?

Sure, just get something showing on the screen and some waveforms coming out of the speakers... then you can think about the touchscreen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroshi Nohara Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 somehow this mouseinput thing and tying it into the actual emulated hardware sounds much harder than coding the actual emulator itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooz Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I understand that the emulator is still in very very very early in the stages of development, but just so you know, every test rom crashes the emu for me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
