Mindfield Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 It depends how you emulate. The Lynx uses a 6502 CPU IIRC, roughly the same as the NES. The NES uses a 1.77MHz modified 6502. The Lynx uses two chips -- Mikey, which is a 3.6Mhz 65C02, and Suzy, which is a 16-bit, 16MHz blitter, which is capable of scaling, rotation, distortion, clipping, tilting and flipping in hardware. There's a big difference there already -- the only handheld released since then that was more powerful was the GBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hmm, just looked - it's a port of Handy, therefore written in C. 850969[/snapback] Handy is written in C++. The problem in doing ports is that very few small systems can handle the huge class libraries that always go with C++. On the other hand Symbian 60 can easily handle C++. So porting Handy to n-gage is not difficult. Emulation speed is another topic... -- Cheers, Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
