Play SNES Games on your ti-nspire CX
« on: August 27, 2012, 09:41:12 pm »
I was browsing around google and found this http://www.pocketsnes.net/download_pocketsnes.htm (no roms there) While it is slow and has poor compatability it does work!


What it is: a snes emulator for gba, using gpsp you can now play SNES games :D


I TAKE NO CREDIT I DID NOT MAKE THIS!

Just to give an idea of how poor the compatibility is, here's a list of unsupported features (taken from the site):
Quote
    Graphic Modes: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
    8x8 and 16x16 bg tile tiles
    Mosaic effects
    HIRQ/VIRQ interrupts
    Mode 7 scaling and rotation effects
    FastROM and SlowROM support
    Full HDMA effects
    Single and Dual Windowing Routines
    Background Priorities
    Sprite Priorities
    Screen Addition/Subtraction (full and half)
    SPC700 (audio)
    High Res 512 horizontal resolution
    Special Chips (DSP, SuperFX 1 and 2, SDD-1, etc.)

However, it may work well enough for some games while we wait for a native SNES emulator, I suppose.

At first I had my hopes up, expecting a new emu by calc84maniac O.O, although that's still kinda cool. I didn't know there was a SNES emu for the GBA, especially considering the hardware differences are not that large enough to allow full speed emulation.

Calc84 should make a SNES emulator

Perhaps better, a TI-68k emulator :)

Although SNES emulation would certainly attract a whole lot of people here too since the SNES is very popular. Also a TI-89 emu would be nice. He was working on one a few years ago but then lost the progress.

And how do we run this? Rename to pocketsnes.exe.tns and then run it with gpsp?

I think you configure it on the computer with what games you want on it, then send it as you would any other rom.  Afaict there's a menu you can bring up to select.

There are more homebrew emulators for gba, until there is a ti83 emu for gba(doesnt work on nspire )!

You can find many Nice homebrews like emulators, games, programs (like paint, etc) here:
http://gbaemu.dcemu.co.uk/

One advantage is that these programs/games are considerably smaller than retail roms.

Unfortunately, this snes emu for gba is a big slow :(

O.O
Sorry to be offtopic but I found that on the site Helder linked to: a TI-83 emulator. Ok, it is not even 83+ but maybe something could be done with it ? :D

edit: I can't even find the download link o.o°
edit: found it :D

Wow seems interesting. Also I wonder if this other SNES emu would work better than Pocket SNES? http://www.snesadvance.org/index.html

Yes, that is what I thought too, seeing this one's last update (after 2005) happened after PocketSNES' last update (Feb 16th, 2004). I also looked at the compatibility list and this one seems to have the largest (or maybe PocketSNES was not tested with a lot of roms).

If it doesn't work any better, then we'll be out of luck, though, because it appears that nobody has worked on a single SNES emulator for the GBA after 2005. Maybe due to the DS arrival and also the extremely limited hardware making it a challenge to optimize a SNES emu for.

We'll still have calc84maniac <.<
* Hayleia runs :P

Well on a serious note, maybe a SNES emu for any platform that was written in C could be ported to the Nspire, as gpSP was :)
