Yeap, the processor runs arm9tdmi, which is capable of running thumb instructions, but I've found that LDRH/STRH do what I've wanted to do (and that is to load/store 16-bit data), and so far I haven't tried that out (no time) but I'm quite confident with that Also, thumb instructions are more like &...

now we're talking :) that's a fact: some instructions on a cisc CPU have to be translated into many risc CPU instructions, let's take an example: in init.asm to inir-arm.s, at line 179 you'd have: shl word[SnowData+edx*2],8 : shift left the word at SnowData(imediate) + edx times 2 by 8 definitely yo...

@phOnYmIkE: Hey, that's good to hear, so you're going to help or your going just to complain that it's too much work? I mean, if it's too much work for one person, then I'm assuming that you wanna join in, right? there are plenty of source for everybody to spend some time.... even why, that's not j...

You see, I said that about assembly programmers in comparsion against other languages, at least over here, I know like a hundread java programmers, a dozen C programmers and a couple of asm programmers in a best case scenario (in real life, of course I know there still are asm programmers at linuxas...

@Mog123 : Yep, I know there are some persons over the world who do program arm assembly, but I (personally) don't know any, even x86 assembly programmers are very hard to find nowadays, and the code is to be ran on a GP2X (I had one, so I could try on it) but anyone can port that code to GBA, Nokia...

Porting zsnes to arm-based machines *not a request*
Hi I used to program assembly a long time ago (i386/i486 era, not a clue about mmx instructions indeed) and I already cared to search that the main problem of porting zsnes is that it's based in x86 assembly (so let no one flame me by this) I'm no arm assembly programmer indeed (there are almost no ...
