gba support in rockboy?

<< < (3/6) > >>

ZeRøB:
VisualBoy Advance (a gba emulator for the PC) runs at 300-400% with a GBA game on one core from my computer (AMD Dual: 2x 2,2GHz)

Llorean:
In terms of "way more power" we only have approximately 4 times the speed. In terms of emulation this is NOT a lot of space to work with.

As well, that's simply a comparison of raw computing frequency, and says nothing to the additional hardware in the Gameboy Advance.

thats because desktop and laptop units are equipped with 3D graphics chips, and look at your cpu frequency, 2.2 GHz, versus the iPod Video's 75 MHz chip, and with a quick calculation on windows calculator , 2200 / 17 is approximately 117.64, thats a whole butt load of space to work with. why do you think you can run Windows Media Player while playing video games on some computers and not experience anything, but when you are playing music in Rockbox while playing bubbles, it skips like heck.

ZeRøB:
That wasn't my point, my point was that even with 2,2GHz you can't run a GBA emulator very fast (300% isn't that fast if you think of it). 17MHz * 3 == 52MHz =! 2,2GHz

but one thing, what would you do for buttons, the GBx (1980s/1990s), has 8 buttons, the GBA has 10, the DS has 12, 13 if you count the touchscreen, the iPod only has 7, and thats counting scrolling left and right as two different "buttons".
