This is simply beautiful, Goplat!  Excellent job!

[ztrumpet]

Wonderful!  I can't wait to see what else can be done!

[qazz42]

I must be dreaming!!

0.0 ZOMG!!!1!111!!!
This is epic.  Pure win.

[shmibs]

what?!!
how'd the crapz did you do that?!!

[calcdude84se]

Nice!
Far from complete, definitely, but keep up the good work!

[DJ Omnimaga]

Goplat, if you see this, could you tell us how many times faster the emulator will run if you get rid of speed throttling? I wonder if it's the same speed as a GBC?

Now I wonder... it would be awesome if there was a Sega Master System, Game Gear and SNES emulator, although for SNES I assume only games not using special chips in cartridges would be emulated, right?

[Netham45]

That's very impressive, Goplat.

We need an x86 emulator...

[DJ Omnimaga]

I often hear x86 out there. Would x86 emulation pretty much be emulating a computer or were there consoles using that processor?

The original Xbox is the only console I know of that uses x86, the 360, Wii, and PS3 all use PPC.

[Netham45]

x86 is computer, yea.

I was thinking of something like dosbox, just so we could run old DOS games.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok, and yeah Dosbox would be cool, assuming we can convert the game data to Nspire format (I wonder if all we had to do was adding a .tns extension like with gbc4nspire? One concern I have, though, is if a game had over 200 files, would it be harder to emulate?)

[qazz42]

probably

though, Doom for the nspire would be awsome

[bwang]

We are nearly at the point where we can port Doom.
Only a few missing standard library functions stand in the way...

[Deep Toaster]

And to answer the topic title: epic yes. That is awesome.

A few more months and the Nspire's gonna be a >9000! in one game sys...
