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?

That's very impressive, Goplat.

We need an x86 emulator...

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.

x86 is computer, yea.

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

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?)

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