i would think you wont have to do a lot of changes to the code, to make it work like if you was playing it on the pc, since the speed and compatibility is aready very good

p.s. i just thinking out loud, i dont know nothing about coding

i dont know about coding eather. but it can be very hard to port things. plus you have to remap the controles. and you have to make zsnes able to use the dc controller. amung other things.
and agin i will say i dont know any thing about coding!!

ZSNES is written in ASSEMBLY and is impossible to port to dc it is designed for pc processors only.

Yeah.... you can't really port something written in x86 Assembly to an SH4 system.... you would have to rewrite the entire thing eliminating the purpose of porting in the firstplace.
