Hi~ I’m back. I want to continue the topic of GBA emulator for iplayer. Unfortunately, iplayer official refused to give me SDK, for considering copyright problems. But finally I have obtained SDK in other way what I’d like to keep secret. I beg you guys forgiveness.

Ok, let’s back to the topic. Now, I’ m analyzing the content of SDK. If you have read my previous post, you would have understand my idea, although you might not agree wity me, thinking it is impossible to emulate GBA by iplayer(my poor English ability may be a problem, I can not express everything perfectly). I consider It’s hard to write program all by myself. Fortunately I’m familiar with VBA (visual boy advanced), the PC platform GBA emulator, so first, I’m trying to migrate VBA form PC to iplayer. If it succeeded, it would suppose to be the best way. Before migration, I’d like to compare the parameter between GBA and iplayer.

Video interface port: GBA screen resolution: 240 X 160. 32,768 colors simultaneously displayable, Special effects features (rotation/scaling, a blending, fade-in/fade-out, and mosaic), 4 image system modes

(I insist on iplayer has the ability to deal with it, because of high resolution video playing)

Audio interface port: 4 sounds (corresponding to CGB sounds) + 2 CPU direct sounds (PCM format)

(Due to iplayer audio formats MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, and the maximum bit rate supporting, I think there is no problem)

According to the comparison, we should know the hardware interface meet the requirement, and DS buttons number is more than enough. First, I need to migrate video interface port, so that I could migrate PC keyboard control to DS D-pad control. Second, it would be the audio interface port migration. I’m going to put my hand to the migration work in the future days, and because of my job, I have little time to be utilized, such as weekend and the nights after off-duty. If I made any progress, I would tell you. Wish it would be smooth going.

GBA emulator for iplayer progress updated

More than one week has passed since I have got SDK, and I’was down to the GBA emulator development (in fact it calls migration of VBA) in this period.It almost took all my spare time. Now, I have made some progress what I’d like to share with you, that the video interface port migration has already completed. Depends on the effect of the games which I have tested, I think it is considered as success. Super Mario Advance and Super Robot War J is two of the games I have tested, which its photos is below, and the FPS is not bad, but I’m not sure that if I migrated audio interface port, it would still have a not too bad FPS.

Next step I will try to migrate audio interface port, and I wish everything will be OK. If I have any further progress, I will update this post. I will also update my blog: http://darkchen.blog.com

Why did you START A NEW THREAD?!

and not continue the old one?!

secondly facts have been explained both there and GBAtemp that people have tried and failed due to SLOT 1 being too slow!

read my review here

basically its a slot 1 flash card with extra processing hardware to play videos of loads of formats without conversion on DS PHAT/DS LITE and DSi*

*(As long as the DSi has not been updated to firmware 1.4 it will work!)

No not possible the iPlayer card has hardware chips embeded in it to give it more ram and processor power its not a software only solution!

Plus the fact that this emulator is probably fake, given the complete lack of convincing evidence.
