Using C isn't a good choice for an emulator, or at least the CPU part of it (unless your processor is a couple orders of magnitude faster than what you're trying to emulate). If you want a fairly fast, customizable Z80 emulator for ARM, try looking into DrZ80. It interfaces with C pretty well, I think.

Nope, but I've gotten over it now :P

Plus if I'm forced to rewrite a project from scratch, it almost always ends up better-designed (to avoid flaws I encountered in the previous code)

Common wisdom in the open source community says that any major projects gets rewritten at least once.

None officially, I'm currently focused on TI-Boy SE. A while back I did start coding z80 emulation again, but it hasn't gotten far.

Would porting wabbitemu to the Nspire be a possiblilty?

I doubt it. It's not really designed to run on a slow processor, so it's not super-optimized. Plus, there are a lot of external dependencies that don't run on the Nspire. It might be possible to port WabbitDS though.

Ah, ok. How fast does WabbitDS run? I'm pretty sure it has a slower processor than the nspire's.

But if it uses both CPUs with multithreading the code will be quite different.

By the way, there was also a GBA 83+ emu.....

Edit: Scratch that, it was reg. 83, not +
