Thanks for the release mudlord.
I gave it a try and it's pretty neat.

That crys for a demoscene release!
Could you upload it here at ngemu? (No need to create an retroemu.com account.)

That crys for a demoscene release!

I hardly think this is worthy for the scene.

Thanks for the upload.

There are some funny things in the scene: A demo running in an overclocked 'spectrum' emu within 64k (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=50107). Or a 64k C64 emu by farbrausch (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=24547).

Damn Intel graphics: I only get aroung 50fps in MuNES on a 1.3GHz Celeron M machine here.

If I can find some decent DirectDraw tutorials...that should speed it up a lot.

The NES core certainly ain't the bottleneck, thats for sure.

The real bottleneck comes from the realtime 16bit RGB to 24-bit/32-bit colour conversions and then rendering the internal 256-240 NES video buffer into a 256-256 POT texture. And then stretching it and blitting in 3D.

Sorry about that. If I could find a decent way to do it in OpenGL without the important colour conversions, it should speed it up a fair bit. Pity the logo needs 32bit colour.

*facepalm*

Found the way to optimize it: It was staring in my face the whole time:
GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5

Forgot I was converting RGB565 to RGB888 when I could simply bypass that step and just render to the native texture format. I am so stupid sometimes....

Don't worry Mudlord we are human que make little mistakes sometimes or we don't notice certain things even the most skilled programer can have a mistake, great job mudlord keep it up

Thanks.
At least now VRAM usage is now down, due to me rendering in pure 16-bit RGB565 color. Which means it should now work on Voodoo cards.

I wonder really how low can I go....

I managed to optimize the renderer in the process, saving around 10KB in disc space. All I need to do now is get rid of the dependancy of SDL now.....

Nice Project Mudlord.

Wish you would get interested in developing for the PSP.

Btw, Do you have a PSP?

If I have a PSP, I would definately be interested in PSP development.

So, no, I don't have one currently.

[Silenus]

Any reason why not atm?
Economics, interests, other.

Mainly economic reasons.

We need the precise location of a tip jar.
Or a shipping adress? ;P

I am considering adding a PayPal address for donations only.

Like Gabest has for his stuff. And Paypal hasn't bothered him.

[Silenus]

Please do so.
Just don't use it as beer money.

You would be a great addition to get on the psp camp.

[mudlord]

I've set up a Paypal account, just waiting on my bank statement so I can verify my account.

Damn Intel graphics: I only get aroung 50fps in MuNES on a 1.3GHz Celeron M machine here.

Can you try this please?

[chris-007]

Getting 60fps on the same machine now. Nice work .

Looks like then I will fix up some things before version 1.2 to be released
