I already suggested MSX... surprisingly (for where he lives), Tinnus had never heard of the MSX/MSX2. Heard of, never actually seen one

when i was child ,there was a lot of amstrad and spectum in my friend´s homes,but none has a msx.I hear a lot of it,in magacines.It was a similar computer than other 8 bit (it has a z80 cpu) but with a lot of japonese games.Noadays there are a lot of patches for playing in engliish its games.many of them were ported to pc-engine/turbo-graft (other "famous" plataform ,i heard a lot of,but never seen in real ).Msx have a lot of interesting games as snatcher,Ys,metal gear,..and a lot of anime/manga games.

No, this isn't a progress update, sorry I'm just here to tell you guys why there's been little news lately about LJX--it's just that recently I've been involved in some (smaller) work in other projects, namely the Pandora version of psx4all, besides being buried in school work and real life(tm). But rejoice, as psx4all work is good for everybody, as soon as I get my lazy bum to do a new palm port I could also come up with something else for PalmOS when I'm in the mood, and me getting hyped about the Pandora is a good thing since that means I'll want LJX on it ASAP (and that means everywhere)

Hrmm. . . So are you one of the DEV's that got one or will be getting one?

Not that I know of yet.

Pandora made gizmodo. And then for some reason it is gone today? (confused face)

by the way can you release ljx(I assume you have the computer version)? I'd like to connect my laptop to my tv and play some old goodies.

I only have NES, Genesis, GB, SMS/GG and NGP as of now, and without an UI. I'd rather not release something crappy more than a few alphas now and then when new features arise, so you can just get some other emulator (Gens, ZSNES, etc) for now

Samphex: you could also try Mednafen for an integrated PC experience.

Hmm... have you looked at this Tinnus? Possibly the code is too slow for LJX (it's a cycle-accurate gb/c emulator), but it's supposedly the best emulator out there right now. sourceforge.net/projects/gambatte/

I will update when there's reason to. Or you could have played some detective and seen this in the website news: ;D "For those worried with the unstable branch (LJX), unfortunately I’ve not done much with it the last months because of university but done some work every now and then. Just the other day I was starting to add the framework for a much-requested feature involving MULTIple PLAYERs"

For those worried with the unstable branch (LJX), unfortunately Hi Tinnus, I was wandering where are you with LJX ? Is it possible to build this on a ppc linux ? your (long-time ago) follower Seb

LJX is going to be open source so it should be available to build on any system once the source code gets released.

I was actually thinking about porting LJX to JAVA. And by JAVA I mean the Instinct. I have the SDK and I plan to learn java and enough of c/c# to port LJX.

Heh... "porting" from C/ASM to Java is not really in the same class as porting between different hardware architectures using the same compiler. What you're really going to be doing is re-writing the entire emulator using similar constructs. That's a HUGE undertaking, as Java doesn't behave the same way as C, and can't do in-line ASM. Good luck... you're going to need it

It will probably take me a WHILE... Gimme 3 years give or take 2 years for me to learn BOTH languages...and rewrite everything. Or maybe I should I just focus on porting gameboy first. I need that. Any suggestions on the easiest gameboy emulator to port? I know gnuboy is possible, but there might be an easier one.

Doing all that would be a lot of work since there is already a java gameboy emulator and probably a bunch of other emulators written in java. It might be easier just to help out or use the source from those ones. www.millstone.demon.co.uk/download/javaboy/Also, what would rewriting it again in java accomplish since the code Tinnus is writing it in can already be ported to most platforms?

LJX is not java so it would be harder to port... I didn't know there were JAVA gb emulators thanks anyway. Now I just gotta make it touchable by instinct. (I'll be getting that in a few days. The centro will go to my mom. I might still use it every one in a while)

The point to porting is that he would learn how to port code between languages; this is not a trivial thing to do, even if you have both languages memorized in fine detail. As for what it would accomplish: some platforms don't allow you to run compiled apps; the only option they provide is a Java MIDlet platform. That said, instead of porting LJX, it seems to me that it would be easier to create a similar Java-based launcher with emulator cores from scratch. Also, the performance would be WAY better as the design considerations for Java based performance gains are much different than for C code doing the same thing.

d**n, I can't even imagine myself writing emulator code in something like Java (no pointers!!), let alone PORTING existing code to it. You're most likely going to re-implement most stuff using the existing sources as documentation, not really porting the code as-is since a lot of stuff will have to be seriously re-thought.

Thanks for those comments. It seems that the best thing I can do right now is port the javaboy app. Someone ported it to nokia phones specifically. I want to ask for the source code but apparently his site is in Spanish... >_<

Try searching google for java emulators, that's all I did, I'm sure there are plenty of them : )

Since Netbooks are getting more and more famous: What about the status of LJX@PC port? I know, I know: There are other integrated retro game suits, but let's be real: There is NOTHING like LJP, right? :-)
