NES plugin - a proposal

<< < (30/30)

ComposerDude:
Hey, fellow travelers,

I just thought I'd journey back to Rockbox forums, since it has been months since I posted... I have had very little time to even look at TuxNES or FCEU or InfoNES... has anyone made anymore progress with a plugin? Anyone at this thread or at MikeT's port?

LambdaCalculus:
Hey ComposerDude, welcome back!

Unfortunately, I also had to put this aside for a while. Lots of things in life to take care of, and little time to really dig deep on anything.

I haven't forgotten about it, and still want to see it happen. We're going to now have to pick up where we last left off.

ComposerDude:
I'm on spring break, and was having a MegaMan contest with a friend here on campus. I figured I had some time to get back to it for a few days.

Peace out,
ComposerDude

this project has piqued my interest, but i'm not sure how much help i could provide as a low-level java programmer who's never worked on a real project.  i'm usually pretty good with theoretical programming, but i'm sure a lot of what you guys are working on are beyond the level i'm used to (and did i mention that i'm a java programmer?).  I could probably learn the basics of C, but again, not sure how much of a help i'd actually be with a lack of experience in things aside from more basic programs.

Hey all. I'm new to the scene but I have just spent over 6 hours going through this entire thread and looking up other stuff. I am deeply interested in the development scene and wish to expand my reach. I have a lot of experience with programming even some c but for robots, not hand held devices. I setup a working enviorment earlier today so I'm ready to get my hands dirty. Do not expect much from me as I have just entered the scene but I do learn very fast and have one resource that I have more of then I know what to do with. Time. I will dedicate as much time as possible to rockbox dev. I would like to join this project and be a main contributor but I am far from that so I will start on simpler things. While there is interest there needs to be more people pushing this project forward.

On that note. Is there anyplace you guys recommend to get me a fast start? I am already shuffling through the forums trying to get as much info as I can but if there is any place in particular would you kindly let me know.

On another note. Why make this a plugin? It would be in the rockbox enviorment and that might make a few things easier but what if this was made a standalone project? Rather then run through rockbox run it on its own from the bootloader? Make it run in its own enviorment and rockbox independant? It just an idea so please dont kill me. I have much programming to do!

One last thing, I swear. Having the game full screen on a player is nice, but performance suffers. In that case, what about a scaling option, not just bigger, but smaller? You might think, oh who wants to play on a smaller screen, but if you gain performance why not? I haven't tried the latest build yet but I know the one i tried had fullscreen on or of but what about intermediate or negative scaling? Just another idea...
