PS3 Emulators Via LINUX! Possibility??

s it possible for all the great coders from every emulation plateform coem togetehr and re-made/edit there emulators so that they work

PERFECTLY 60 FPS, FULL/HIGH RES 1080i Display HD

of SNES, SEGA, GBA ect ?

Really ... you only need to recompile a Linux emulator to run on a PPC core system .... and take advantage of PS3s 6 Processors (well 4, lmiux only detects 4)

Any queries, ideas, i mean ID LOVE 20GB slice of heaven on my PS3 Linux

Most emu authors don't have the resources/time/care to want to create another port (particularly a console port) of their emus. Usually that is handled by a 3rd party who wants it to happen because they have access to the source. They do it by either contributing code or releasing their own port.

Really, don't expect anything to happen.

And why would you want a 1080i "SNES/SEGA/GBA ect" emu?
Unless your display is native 1080i, there's no advantage.

They want massive pixelation!

That would just be unecessary programming. Most SNES/GBA/etc games never reached that high!

And a "PS3 emulator" is a program that emulates a PS3. What you meant to write was "Emulators for PS3".

"Really ... you only need to..." you lost me to hysterical laughter after that. If it is so easy man why don't you do it, there is plenty of open source emulation out there.

People were having some issues when it came to wanting support for OS X... those issues were resolved eventually, but it wasn't perfect even when the code contributions were coming in. Most of the problems were with the compiler/debugger tools provided by Apple as they are.. way behind (and just craptacular).

So, when you come here thinking "it's just a recompile", please STFU and use your brain before you make those kinds of assumptions.

1080i can ruin the look of some games...

Atleast it did with Mario Kart on SNES , had video filters an all that good stuff on , but 16:9 doesnt help a lot of games either...

GBA isnt too bad...

??? I was pointing out how his idea isn't so easy and kind of a selfish request not to mention old news. Clearly it is never that easy, I was being facetious.

what did I say wrong???

It wasn't directed at you, if that wasn't clear I apologize. It was an assisted, "the op is an idiot" post.

right, I strongly suspected this, but wasn't sure, sorry for being a dunce.

You know, most devs would need to OWN the system they port to and need a reason to do it. Why don't you donate a ps3 to a developer and maybe your dream will come true

. I'm sure Pagefault would love one

. Just think of how easy it will be to click and convert all that x86 into ppc with the simple click of a mouse

. Yes... your dream will totaly come true if you donate a unit

Hell yeah! Donate some units this way, while you're at it. I can... beta test.

Yeah.

Honestly , not to rain on this guys parade , but the actual devs almost never port their code to consoles , somebody else does it and simply credits the original devs...

You'll just have to wait...

with a SNES emulator like ZSNES what would be the benefit of porting it to PS3 anyways? I mean really its pointless.

FitzRoy · Post by **FitzRoy** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:02 am

Who said anything about ZSNES? ZSNES probably can't be ported to the PS3 anyway because it's not an x86 platform.

And "what's the benefit?" I'd say the benefit would be playing SNES games. You may as well be asking why the Nintendo virtual console exists.

thats why dosbox exists lol

At times I am uncertaing of the benefit dosbox provides in contrast to a full fledeged vm, like virtual box and shit.

assuming you only have a PS3, and no PC, since you can already put it on your PC. I have just found in the past running emulators on consoles a bigger pain than running them on your computer.

Wii virtual console is great, but if you've already got the emulator on your PC what do you need it on your PS3 for? I'm just saying developer time could be better spent.

You might be rowing an old-ass 486 or a Pentium 1 through the digital seas of software piracy. That would make the PS3 emulation more appealing.... and you a dumbass for spending that much on a game-less game system and nothing on a new PC.

ReRuss · Post by **ReRuss** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 10:02 am

I only feel 1/2 bad buyin a PS3... I'm getting $300 off so there's still some bad feelings in there...

But seeing it's line-up ATM , it'll just sit in the box for a while... unless I wanna try that gundam game...

If it's lucky it'll turn out to be a decent media player with modding , possibly replacing my xbox for media... atleast I'll have blu-ray , even tho I'm not sure if that's a good thing heh

why go for "full 1080i?" i say go for 1080p, the respectable resolution. 1080i is the stupidest hd resolution that exists. my aunt's big screen does 1080i, but not 720p, and it's a 4:3 screen. lame.

i mean, if you went for 1080p, you'd probably get way more support. seriously

ZSNES board
