and here's some more general info
The phone has a 600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, which obliterates what the gba had Big Grin

, but the current gba emulator doesn't seem to be well-coded enough? for the n900 to have sound functioning properly (and most games are around 30~40 fps)
now that you guys have some idea what the hell an N900 is, i would now like to go total noob on your asses ands ask how i would build this from your source?
i was using this post (#313) as a general guide, it works well till it bams up "no makefile found"..

I've examined the boot code and I have been able to identify the palettes, and how palettes are selected, however I can't get any further than to determin the checksum of the title and it's 4th character (in some few causes) for the individual games.

Does anybody know about a complete list of GB games released with the License of 01, prior to the release of the GBC? There should be 89 games at least.]]>

So then, my question is where and how can I post those RPMs I build from SVN code on Fedora 12?

I couldn't find a specific place, beside the "Latest Release Information" thread where I can't create a new thread. I can imagine why though.

If it's OK I'll try to add it on this thread as an attachment so anyone willing to test it can do so. But please remember this is the first RPM I build and it can contain errors, I've installed it on my box without any problem so far, just a typo on the message from the menu that say "Nindendo GameBoy Advance Emulator" instead of "Nintendo GameBoy Advance Emulator", but can't find the typo on the spec file I used.

Edit:
I've found the typo it lies in the comment section of this file here:

trunk/src/gtk/gvbam.desktop

I just right clicked it and edited. To correct that typo once installed you'll need menu-editor for Gnome and edit the Comment field from Properties.

Sorry couldn't add it as an attachment, don't know why.]]>

The REAL problem that I'm having is that vbam does not seem to have any idea how to read zip files. It can read unzipped files (raw ROMs) just fine, and the 64-bit version of vanilla VBA can read zip files without a problem. I'm taking a poor uneducated guess, but I'm guessing that once again, this is a 32/64 bit difference, and because I installed using --force-architecture, vbam doesn't know where to find the libs that would extract zip files. Even as I type that, it doesn't sound right, but every time I try to run with a zip file, I get :

Code:

No image found in file Tetris.zip

Unknown file type Tetris.zip

Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks very much.]]>

I now understand the ARM core reasonably and I started rewriting the complete graphical subsystem.

I can already process VRAM data and the video registers to produce bitmaps of (character mode) BG layers. (See screenshot)

Instead of rendering only a single line, I process the whole BGs at once, so that should give some nice speed boosts.

I plan to let this new C++ class for managing the GBA's graphical subsystem produce 128x128 ... 1024x1024 bitmap planes, which a hardware accelerated OpenGL renderer will further process with special effects like scaling, rendering, color manipulation and of course combining, clipping & rendering it all to the screen. Maybe this will also look better in higher resolutions. With a few hacking it might even be possible to get real widescreen support on some games.
Sprites are also perfect work for OpenGL instead of a software renderer.

If you want to help me and have a good knowledge of OpenGL, don't hesitate to contact me. I will do the preprocess work and you do the rendering.
