DGen Sega Genesis Emulator
 

There are a few casual/slow games (RPGs, Puzzles) for Genesis, so why not build an emulator?

There are plenty to choose from, but only one is portable enough to build in maemo out-of-box, and that's...

It's fully open-source. Give it a shot and post results here. Install from file with app-manager (it2006) or dpkg -i (it2007/bora).

Start it from the terminal with dgen <romname> or create a shortcut with load-applet run or osso-statusbar-cpu applets.

To preempt the obvious questions, no, "gens" isn't going to be ported by me - it uses x86 assembly instructions. "Generator" might work someday, but it's barfing-up make-errors of a strange and mysterious kind.

If it's too slow for you, you're not drinking enough beer.

Cheers!

Someone needs to port PicoDrive, I used to run a port on my 100Mhz Nokia 6600, ran more than quickly enough. It's designed for ARM. GP2X version is perfect in almost every way, inc MegaCD.

ArnimS, when are you going to get around to running your own repository already!?!?!?!?

Great work arnims. Not yet tried it though, but it's installed and ready to run *cough* "backups" when I get hold of a few.

Yeah that'd probably be the best genesis emu for the 770. I spent about 33 hours hacking at it back in May, 2007 and didn't get a buildable version. So i'm pretty burned out.

Got generator compiled, thanks to a patched version discovered by unique311, but it just yields black screen and there is a build error that might become critical. If anyone is interested, i can put sources up.

And of course i can put the partially-ported picodrive sources up too, if someone is serious about working on it.

The genesis just isn't so high on my list because the fast games would require better dpad and RHS keys. The RPGs for it are not comparable in quality to the SNES imo, so ... anyway...

Stick the picodrive sources up and I'll see if I ave the time to sort things out.

Source to the original is here: http://www.finalburn.com/mobile/source.html

Modified GP2X version is here: http://notaz.gp2x.de/pico.php

It's been ported to many other platforms too.

(edit) I think this would be more worthwhile though...

You should probably clarify as much as you can.
