Post by: totoetlititi on July 15, 2004, 05:52:32 am

All is in the title... !
With a C850 or c760, how run emulator like snes, or gba ?
Is the rom important for performance ?

Title: The best rom for game and emulator ?...
Post by: zaphod on July 16, 2004, 12:09:12 am

I think the X11 ROM is the best.  I use snes9x, dosbox, gnuboy, stella, and x64.  (basiliskII works but MAC OS 7 has problems dealing with taps: it thinks every tap is a mouse drag from the last tap. very annoying.)

I got stella(atari 2600) and gnuboy from the debian-ARM distribution.

Many of the emulators mentioned above use SDL, which is horrible in qtopia but works just fine under X11.  Under qtopia, I always ended up having to reset my Z to get out of the emulators.  Also, there are a lot of qtopia SDL libraries out there and I could never figure out which was best for which emulator.
