ARM emulator (just for fun)

[picard]

hi

recenetly i'am working on blitting library for pocketmvp video player and needed a minimal cpu emulator for better testing (especially mips and sh3 because i don't have such devices) i'am making this just for fun, so i went a little off the point although the sh3 emulator is not finished, i spent some time tring to make a minimal wince enviroment. here is the result. maybe someboby will find it usefull, or get some ideas, or whatever. it's definitly not a finished emulator, i was to lazy do define all the coredll functions. the arm->x86 core is very new (yesterday) maybe it has some bugs. not too much optimized, but on my 2.4Ghz P4 runs faster as my XScale 400Mhz PPC.

That's my PocketPockets demo

And that's pretty impressive emulation!.

I've experimented with the ARM emulator core from Visualboy Advance for testing ARM code functions - I assembled my ARM functions to raw binary data and load them at run-time - I can call them by casting a function pointer, or calling the emulator if it's a win32 build

Spent some time working on ARM rasterizing code - the emulated code is painfully slow if I do a debug build, and slower than my 206mhz PPC in release builds (on an XP1800/1Gb)

Anyway, PocketPockets is making good progress - I've got a Symbian build working, table/pocket collision+physics now work, and added Hekkus for audio
