NESpire general discussion thread

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that this NES emulator may not necessarly be in C. Maybe it is, but if it is in assembly, then it doesn't mean C would be able to achieve this. Just noticing the framerate at which the raycaster runs I am not so confident C would be able to pull a fast enough SNES emulator, for example.

The raycaster is currently in floating point, which is not good for speed.
This will change in the near future. I am currently very busy right now (2 papers, 2 exams, and 2 problem sets due in the next five days ) And I also have a bunch of distracting fun hardware projects at the moment...

oh, ok, I will use 1.7



CASTLEVANIA DIDNT WORK!!?!

can you upload the one you made (oh ,wait, that would be ROM sharing )

It seems to work fine with me.  Are you sure you used "/B" when making the .tns file? (I forgot to when I made my castlevania one at first; it crashed the emulator.)

[qazz42]

it caused the emu to freeze, ah well, I was using the spanish castlevania though

also, it is 139mb

and on another try, it caused a big black box at the top to appear

I assum I must keep on trying until i get it right

@Goplat: Great job with the emu. Did you use C or ASM?

[apcalc]

He said it was in ASM on IRC last night.

Aw sorry to hear, I hope you won't quit calc stuff and move on to hardware stuff . I was scared Thepenguin77 would do so for a while. Mind posting about the hardware projects when you have some time, btw? I wonder what they are?

Happybobjr if it was connected through USB, I assume it did.

Goplat, you did a great job there.

[Happybobjr]

sya it was connected through usb.

so you can run your calc w/o batteries if you have it connected?

You can't turn on the calculator without batteries, because the USB does not supply power until a connection is established through software.

[Happybobjr]

ok, thanks.

Ah that must be why when I last tried, I thought my calc did not support USB powering. Thanks for the advice
