I'd best leave that to him.I'll elaborate a bit on what Mr. G here said... 1) As said, you need very good programming skills. Be fluent in Assembly and C (or C++).You need all the technical information possible when creating an amulator that emulates another system.You need to perfectly understand how the original system works (what is written/read to/from memory and where in memory, how the code works when it displays something on screen... and how does the system's CPU and sound processor work, let alone some special chips (if any) etc. etc. Edited December 17, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two9A Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 1) How do you go about creating an Emulator?As GryphonKlaw and Agozer have stated previously, you need to be able to think on the level of the processor. That is, in assembly and opcodes. Any high-level language will do for implementation, but I liek C. Also, a good technical reference for the system in question is useful. I tend to use GBAtek for the system and ARM.com for the CPU itself.2)I am anticipating this HUGELY and I wanna donate...but I dont have paypal and I cant get it for a while, is there any other way? Like send it to u or s/t.It's awfully kind of you to want to donate so badly. I don't NEED the money, mind; being on the dole does help. If you can hold on until you are able to get PayPal, that'd be fun.3)The creator lives in UK? If so which part? Manchester, of course. Centre of the cultural universe.
