First, I'd like join in applauding Tubooboo's
decision to ditch the proprietary WinCE libs.
I think this will be a great boon for Ngine.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if
Sintendo hit some legal trouble some time
in the future. With illegal ROMs being so easy
to obtain in the emulation world, it's important
that the emulator authors are seen to be
squeaky-clean.
Secondly, MAME.
DGen is a lovely idea, but it strikes me
you could buy a perfectly good Megadrive/Genesis
second hand, and second hand games are very cheap.
The games you could play on MAME are pretty much
unobtainable elsewhere.
I suspect some of the newer games emulated
by MAME would be troublesome on a DC - some
of those NeoGeo games have a *huge* memory footprint
because of the number of large sprites; but Pac Man,
Invaders et al should work very easily,
and it'll be interesting to see just how complex
a game Ngine/MAME/DC could handle.
www.Lik-Sang.com sell a unit which lets you put a
Dreamcast in an arcade cabinet (or you can make
such a unit reasonably easily). Can you imagine
MAME running on that? Cool.
Tubooboo: any comments on the feasibility of
porting MAME? For yourself, or for others?
