Nintendo Emulator v0.65 (VB6)

If I do make a Sega Genesis Emulator I am definitely adding this sub:

vb Code:

Public Sub Blast_Processing
     'Do Blast Processing here!!!
End Sub

Might be more like this:-

vbnet Code:

Public Class BlastProcessor
 
    Public Sub Blast(ByVal src As IntPtr, ByVal dest As IntPtr, ByVal cb As Integer)
        'Blast processing code!!!!
    End Sub
 
End Class

I found lots of goodies on programming an emulator for the Sega Genesis:

Do you think you're up to the challenge ?....I wish I had massive amounts of time to spend on non-profitable ventures. I would really love to spend my days learning about these things in depth.

Really?! sounds like a true pain! it's like reading a note in chines!

The NES emulator uses the 6502 CPU with 56 opcodes and 13 address modes. Any start in designing any emulator starts with the CPU. So if I do the Sega Genesis I would have to simulate the 68000 CPU. Its gonna be tough but very possible.

I've always found it quite cute that processors and emulate other processors. There is a beautiful symmetry about that.

A sega genesis emulator? It would be amazing to play the Sega classics like Sonic 3 on an emulator made ​​in vb6! It would be the first emulator of a 16-bit system in vb. The CPU will be very hard to do, but after this, emulate the apu and ppu should be easy! If you want I am willing to help in this project. :D

As for the Gameboy emulator, there is a very good Gameboy Color emulator for vb6 in english with sound called BasicBoy, and code is avaible!, it's worth a look:

If anyone is interested, here is the latest version of Nes.net. I probably will not touch it again.

Well, I tried to find documents about sega genesis emulation (68k CPU and VPU), and found very little. The best I got so far was reading the Rom Header :p. You've managed to find good simple emulators and good documents that we can rely?

I created a thread on it in the games and graphics section. All the info you need will be there and lots more to come ;)
