RockGeo
« on: August 31, 2007, 12:04:51 PM »
It would be very possible to port NeoGeo to the iPod Video (5g)

Here is the source codes

http://dl.qj.net/NeoGeo-CDZ-Emulator-v0.3.1-Source-Code-PSP-Development/pg/12/fid/5228/catid/203

or this

http://dl.qj.net/NGEPSP-Source-Code-PSP-Emulators/pg/12/fid/10689/catid/126

Is anybody interested?

1) What license is this under?
2) You do realize, the forum is not the place for feature requests, right?
3) I think it's unlikely the iPod 5G will be fast enough. What grounds lead you to say it's "very possible"? The processor is three times the speed, roughly, of the Gameboy and you know how slow that runs. Is there more information you're not sharing?

brarei200: Don't be ridiculous. The NeoGeo is WAY too powerful for any DAP to handle. Think about it:

1) Emulation of the 68000 CPU, which is clocked at 12 MHz
2) Emulation of the Z80 CPU, clocked at 4 MHz
3) Emulation of the YM2610 sound system, which has 15 sound channels onboard
4) Emulation of custom video hardware, which is far more than most DAP screens can handle
5) A system that has no on-board RAM, but carries the necessary RAM within the cartridges themselves and can run upwards of 8-16 megabytes

You have got to be absolutely bonkers to even think that this will work.

(ONE LAST EDIT):

Llorean, in response to your first question, there's no description of any license anywhere on the two pages. And I can't download the source files here at work, so I don't know if there may be license information bundled with the source or not. Either way, this is still a ludicrous idea and is simply not feasable on any system we support or write for.

1.  You haven't responded to any of LamdaCalculus' specific points about why it wouldn't work, so I get the impression that when you say, "this would be possible ... to port," you're just speculating about something that you know absolutely nothing about.

2.   You haven't answered Llorean's question about the license.  This cannot be ported to Rockbox unless it is under a GPL-compatible license.  As LambdaCalculus noted, there doesn't seem to be any statement of the license in the link you provided.  Please answer this question in your next post.
