No ZSNES?

**Bas** · 09-18-2011,06:39 PM

Hi!

As I have heard that ZSNES offers a great emulation speed and I am having troubles with the SNES ps2 emus I wonder if there is any specific reason there wasn't made a port of it yet?

google for ZSNES homepage/files
^ Source code for linux is aviable, so...?

//Don't get me wrong, I cannot port it, I am no dev at all, I just know very little about a few coding languages, but that's it.

Zsnes is written in x86 assembly language (x86 means intel or amd processors' instruction set),PS2s use RISC Processors with MIPS instruction set. Well, because of that, it's impossible to port Zsnes to the PS2.

Ah oki, I wasn't aware of the fact that assembly does only work for x86. Plus I forgot ZSNES is written in it.
