Hello!
Since GiiBii works really well for what I expected, I wanted to do a GBA emulator. I've been working on it since July, and after 2 months of work, here are some results:
"Kirby - Nightmare in Dream Land" and "Need For Speed - Underground 2".
Obviously, there is still a lot to do, most games are unplayable (in fact, NFS runs very slowly, there is a problem with CPU timing, I guess), have graphic glitches (where is the needle of the speedometer? :P) or just can't pass from the initial splash screens (if they can show them...).
What is done:
- CPU emulation (ARM and THUMB), but it is still buggy.
- DMA channels (except special modes).
- All BG modes and regular (non-affine) sprites are emulated. No special effects or window effects, though.
- VBL, HBL, VCOUNT, DMA and KEYPAD interrupt requests.
- Disassembler, I/O register viewer (both aren't finished) and memory viewer.
A capture of the debugger:
Yeah, that's a Tonc demo.
PS: A new version of GiiBii is coming in a few days :P.
