Whether its harder or not, would the bottom line be the hardware emulation is better to use than software emulation?

Regards,


As Karlos has said, there are so many issues (notably Timing and Address space), that this sort of thing can only realistically be done in software.

And never for one second entertain the idea of using any HAM mode for a game, or bad things will happen to you! :nervous:

NO! Oh well, luckily i have brought Metal Slug for NeoGeo AES. :-)

I though HAM was pretty good. It seems okay in when using the HAM8 drivers in Shapeshifter?

Regards,


I'm sure the HAM8 drivers do work okay, but HAM is jsut not suited to fast paced graphics, oh how I would have loved a chunky mode in AGA... :boohoo:

Time for a Graffiti, perhaps?

...

And doesn't Generator use a modified version of UAE's JIT compiler? I can't imagine that being all that fast on a 68000. (Generator using SDL under Windows on a Pentium 4, on the other hand. . . .)

No, I mean a real Chunky mode :-D

Imagine the fun you could have had with the copper, blitter *and* a chunky pixel representation?


Mmmmmm... Yeah that would have been great...

!10 years ago...!

Of course, you could actually write an emulation for this non existant hardware, then muck about to your hearts content, eh?


Could do, but then you'd spend ages trying to do stuff which can been done quickly and simply on modern hardware.
