Update #2:
squarepusher2 has released several more updates to SNES9x PS3, the Super Nintendo Emulator for PlayStation 3, which are all available for download now
HERE.
Update: A new
SNES9x r2 binary is now available with changes noted
HERE followed by a
SNES9x v1.0.3 port by
Alex793 which includes some more
fixes for those interested.
I got my Teensy++ Thursday and decided to port SNES9x (Super Nintendo Emulator) over to the PS3 as a little exercise to play with the Cell SDK.
It's pretty rough but it seems to work OK. It will load (uncompressed) ROMs off of /dev_usb000.
If anyone is interested, the code is linked above via GitHub with a binary attached below.
Download:
SNES9x (Super Nintendo Emulator) PS3 Port /
SNES9x PS3 Port Source Code
It's a new port to PS3 LV2 OS based on the vanilla SNES9x source.
To build:
• Install Cell SDK >= 1.92. You know how to find it. Configure according to the install instructions (make sure to set CELL_SDK).
• Make pkg
• Load the pkg and your ROMs onto a usb drive.
• Install on PS3 using your jailbreak device of choice.
Things that suck:
• Lots of SNES9x features are not supported yet. No save states, for example. Most of these are really simple to implement.
• Sound code is rubbish. It more or less works, but you'll probably hear the occasional skip.
• Performance isn't great.
• UI. Or rather, there isn't one.
• So much more.
It's just awesome to be able to play "Lost Vikings" again , this time on my PS3 !!! Thank you!
Unfortunately i cannot try it right now, as my wife is watching tv... :-(
