Thanks to emuunlim team for hosting. Now site is moved to smsemu.emuunlim.com


Request for help!

Need someone who knows sh2 asm a little, to help me rewrite some of the z80 emu core functions to sh2 asm (z80 core already have support for x86 asm, just want to rewrite it for sh2). This probably makes emu a little faster.

There are some thinking on rewriting x86 asm to sh2 (txt)

This is the source for z80 emu core (zip)

Small manual on z80(txt)

Please, if you can help, mail me at sludge@zmail.ru


New version. Removed glitched off-screen buffer. Fixed palette issues. Added frame skip control (left shift - frame skip "-", right - frame skip "+"). Added cd tools into archive. So you can build ISO right from archive (just provide it your legal rom and edit satclays.cti for paths). And read readme.txt.

SMS emu version 2

Please report of any glitches.


Ok, here it comes. First public version of sms plus emu port for saturn. It's without rom included - you must use your legal rom, all instruction on building iso image are in readme.txt

SMS emu1

Please report how it's working.

Yes! Beta 7 "scroll". Background scrolling works ok now! Possibly fixed some other old gfx bugs. Speed optimisation from 6.1. removed (it was frameskipping - but there is no need in it, becasue slow part is still z80 core emulation). Please report how it works and if there any bugs

New version - beta61 "speed". It's used optimisation by TakaIsSilly. Please, check how it's fast, compared to previous version
