Game Emulators
« on: July 26, 2007, 11:56:45 PM »
So, rockboy is a emulator gameboy color games. but, how do i put other emulators, to work other types of games on rockbox? I've tried to add the emulator itself into the viewers but that accomplished nothing. some of you are probably laughing at my method because you know how to but cant tell me because of rights. but i didnt name anything specific, i just need to know how to get it to work.

They have to be ported. That means a lot of programming work. Start off by learning to write plugins for Rockbox, then find an open source emulator written in C, and spend a lot of time converting it to fixed point, then convert it into a plugin.

It's not simple, which is why there aren't other emulators available. Nobody who's actually interested seems to actually be up to the task.
