Just a question

Uhhh for a project work I created a Chip8 emulator using C++ as the programming language and SDL for the input and graphics API. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has ever done any console emulation work and if so what did you use to make it ?

I believe eatcomics is trying to program with a dcemulator.

Yeah, eatcomics and myself are learning to create games for the Dreamcast. Although, I test on the actual DC hardware.

Erm, I think he means programming an emulator, not using one... right?

M_D_K, iirc, was quite recently working on an NES emulator. Maybe you should ask him.

what the two posts above me said... I want to make a graphing calculator emu.... that would be cool

[dbomb101]

LoL yeah I meant programming them, I thought I would ask since console emulation and games development use similar tools (graphics api's) and programming languages. hmmm a graph calculator emulator sounds really interesting actually, although I wouldn't have a clue where to start with something like that. When I have the time am going to make an attempt at a Gameboy emulator.

iirc, you have to disassemble roms, and look for loading code, saving code, and how the architecture works. If I can find the article I've read, I'll link you to it.

Well if anyone needs somewhere to start I found this
