New Core, again
Sorry it’s taken so long to put out a new post as we’ve been buried in massive code. We’ve yet again had to do major changes to SuperGNES and we wanted to make sure we got it right for you. We’ve created a new CPU core from scratch in ARM assembly that is very fast and also quite accurate. This is not the same regurgitated and hacked up GP2X code that everyone else has used. We expect a 100% CPU compatibility for all games. Also we designed the new core to support the SA1 chip. The C++ CPU core just wasn’t doing enough so we had to code it in ARM assembly. However we have retained the C++ core so we can easily compile for Intel Android mini-notebooks whenever they are available. We are running our regression tests now to make sure the new CPU integrates with everything correctly. We are determined to make the perfect SNES emulator for Android.

Following this with excitement, another step closer to the finished product
I am waiting everyday.
i will keep patiently waiting for SuperGNES eagerly, cause i have a feelling that this emu is gonna be the best snes emu on the market
That’s good news. As a developer I also like to follow the ideal that there is two ways to do things, the quick way and the right way. It’s good you guys are deciding to do it the right way. However, you shouldn’t be totally opposed to releasing a beta version either. Also, all of this new stuff, what are we looking at as an expected delivery date? This month or next or possibly later?
SA1 chip is instant win!
Ok… now im waiting for it anxiously
Steve, we are planning on releasing at the end of the July. As a developer you probably know new code needs more testing. We are still considering releasing a beta version if need be so check the blog for updates.
Will this emulator have support for touch-screen only phones?
This wait is killing me!!!! I guess I’ll just have to hold out =\
Support for touchscreen would be appreciated. The way ggNES has it setup would work. Plus an option to make the “touch boxes” transparent so you can see them a little and know where to press.
I’d just love to try a beta vs. The emu I run atm. It’d be great if there are no hangs and good sound.
I really commend you guys for doing what you are doing. The other snes emulator isn’t nearly as good as it should be and you guys seem to be working hard to do what you have to do. You guys should try working with a gba emulator as well.
well its the end of july, going to postpone to end of august now?
