FRANKLIN THE FUCKING TURTLE.

#1 reason to own an android phone.

Thank God someone came along and decided to show me that I could view one goddamn frame every four seconds of a handful of DS titles.
And for the record, this is on a Snapdragon QSD8250 with 512 RAM. I know it'll be cleaned up over time, but I'll make fun of it till it is.

...I remember someone saying that we won't see a decent NDS emulator for PDA's any time near... I think he said it about a week ago.

...Jesus, I love being "right".

I knew that was going to be brought up. Run it on your phone, gimme your opinion. I still think that "decent" is highly debatable, given that it's relatively crap. But I admit, my conceived timeline was way over-estimated. He should have this up to snuff in a year, if that.

It's clearly stated that the frame rate won't be acceptable on a non-high-end device. I'm pretty sure it works "just fine" on dual-core'd ones with good GPU's.

Besides, it's v.1.1, a work-in-progress. Time will tell if it's worth the attention, but seeing that there are really powerful Droids comming up, plus Android 2.3 offers a performance boost allowing a single-core 2.3-enabled device to outrun a dual-core 2.2 device... This will rock. Very soon.

I think I'm actually offended that my 1Ghz phone isn't considered a high end device anymore. I bought this phone less than a month ago.
Anyways, yea, the project seems to be off to a good start. It's come leagues since the semi-demo that was released around February. Hopefully there'll be a decent tablet for this to run on in the near future. And by decent (as I know there are plenty high end devices currently) I mean economically feasible.

"Confirmed working ROMs

the Pokémon rom can take one minute to boot up."

Your life must be shit if that's your definition of "decent"....o, that's right, you're a polack; five games and long load times would be great to you.






Now back to the real topic at hand here: Does this work on iOS 4.3.1?

Zodttd reported that he started working on this back in...jesus, like last August. But then he got lazy and didn't update *anything* for a long time. Now he's back on the scene, but he needs to retouch all of his previous emulators first because most are broken on 4.3.1. So he has to redux the PSX and n64 emulators first, and then he'll finally get the nds emulator out.

Strangely, once it finally gets off the ground, I imagine it'll run great. But, as much as I hate to say it, Android has the upper hand right now. Developers being able to work on emulators and release them directly to the Android Market for a larger audience is more enticing then releasing for the jailbreak market that is, arguably, smaller. Everyone in the iOS community has gotten a bit lazy and said "Oh, Zodttd said he was making an NDS emulator, we won't work on one." Now we're stagnating. We need someone to step in and make one, and I, for one, will not be that guy.

So...no, it doesn't work on 4.3.1. Because it's an Android apk.

I'm a Polack, whereas you're American. There are four possible options for you.

Option #1 - You're white, your ancestors were a bunch of annoying puritan twats whom everybody wanted to kill, so they fled cowardly to America while peeing their pants where they were buttraped by the natives.

Option #2 - You're black, your ancestors were either stupid enough to get caught in a fucking net by slave hunters OR they were such annoying twats that the tribe leader PREFERED to give them away for a bottle of fiery water than keep them.

Option #3 - You're Asian. Your family imigrated to the U.S fairly recently, mainly because they had just about enough living in Vietnam jungles, trying to find shelter from Napalm rain. They were still bloody commies though, so they're no better then turds either.

Option #4 - You're a native american. *Cough cough* "Native" American, but your bloodline mixed up with whites, blacks and yellows so much that you barely look like one. Your knowlage of your culture is limited, which is a good thing, since your ancestors were running around in pants only and used spears as weapons when the Spanish came and buttraped you all. That, and european sicknesses which nearly anihilated your entire race. Right now you make your income by working in natural reserves or internet casino's - because you'd rather do nothing or steal money from other citizens then actually do some work.

Questions, American Fucktard?

Reason: Not all Americans are like that. Annoying fucktards are, though.
