Emulator development project

Hi,

I'm interested in developing an emulator in vb.
I'd prefer to work on a z80 processor, to do a gameboy or game-gear/master system emulator.
If anyone wants to join and help, post here.
It'll be using DirectX

Regards

er.. how do you go about doing an emulator?
im not sure if its even possible in VB - u probably have to do lots of dirty bits + bytes manipulation, which might have to be done in C (urgh) :)

if u have an idea of how to do it, im interested.

Hi,

Sure it's possible.
Note that you won't get to emulate a very fast emulator, but the point is to get it.
I have a url for a GameBoy emulator written entirely in VB (even the z80 core). Surely it's a lot of math, but...
It runs only one commercial game, due to not emulate a specific chip of GameBoy, but, if it emulates z80... :)
From now, my interest would be develop a SMS emulator, using DirectX for graphics. Maybe this can help in boosting a little.
It's very good that you're interested in it. We can keep in touch here until we close a development team

How do we go about doing this?? I mean is it going to be
75% API calls?? Sounds like a great project. I'd love to join in. Email me with details.

Hi everyone,

I'm very happy so many people enjoyed the idea.
Let's do the following. I'll be setting up a site for us, with a message board, so we can share our ideas, ok?
Please post a reply here saying if you agree with it.

I don't know if you had a particular way/place
to setup a web site for us to get together on or not
but two good ones I know of are www.intranets.com
and www.egroups.com, both are free and do message boards, and downloads,etc.
intranets.com private,etc and has some calendars,etc.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll be setting up the site very soon. So please, everyone who will join the group, mail me at

dosgrave2000@hotmail.com

telling me your mail addresses. So i will know who needs the url of the site

Regards :cool:
