He's making an NES emulator for the TI-89, genius. |

Harsh!
Well I've gotta chalk this one up on my "keep an eye on this project" list. Hopefully, this isn't one of those cursed calc projects that ends up half-finished. |

Yes, it would be cool. However there is one fundamental flaw:
TI-89:
160x100 pixels, 4 grays
NES:
256x212 pixels, 64 colors |

Yeah, isn't it customary for the emulator's specs to be better than what it's trying to acutally emulate? I'm not saying it's impossible, though...still...  |

| i don't think the processor is fast enough, a NES emulator runs slow on a 120 MHz ARM processor, i don't think it will be normal on a 12 MHz 68K processor. |

No$msx is a MSX1 + MSX2 emulator for DOS and Windows, like the other no$-emulators it's including a comfortable debugger, so that it's more a serious development tool than just a emulator. Beside for the development part, the most important goals are: User-friendly GUI and lots of options, and the complete lack of overload - the program is written in raw assembler language, sized about 150 KBytes, and works fine on 33MHz computers. That's my contribution against modern mainstream programmers.
And MSX emulation requires more power than NES emulation. |
