Can any programmer create a port of mvspsp for ps2??

**oleguer** · 03-11-2009,06:34 AM

Hi all!! I watch in the web the source code of mvspsp and I think that any programmer can take this source code and create a port of mvspsp for ps2... I'm crazy??

or... yes any programmer can create a port of this emulator??

I wait replys

Do it yourself! You're not a coder? Not a problem, become one!

You definitely have to buy one of these "How to port your best emu in one weekend" books first, that's my recomendation. It will be done in no time, really, really!

PS. Unless I got you wrong?

@ffgriever:

I swear I googled that book, man!

Haha, the sad part is googling "How to port your best emu in one weekend" comes up with this topic as the first link :P.

Believe me ffgriever if I can create this port or other new emulator for mvs to ps2 I create them no in one weekend, no in one month, in the necessary time (I dont say nothing for time to create)...... but I can't create one emulator or port of mvs for this I request them for any programmer If you can't make them... dont make them.... but my request is this

THX & sorry for bad english

Nah, no need to be that upset. I've been a little bit sarcastic, but the truth is, that porting an existing emulator to ps2 is not that hard (nor time consuming), not even requires a broad knowledge about PS2... unless you're going to use dynamic recompiling or act use the hardware directly (which requires some knowledge about target platform). If you use sdl or whatever, it's just like coding for anything else.

The problem is that almost no one makes such things on request. It either will be done or not.... chances that you will convince anyone are quite low

If you can you like create this emulator?? (dont reply me only you keep this in mind)
I know you're other app for ps2 more interesting than them but if you can create mvs emulator with hdd support I and other people thanks for you to create this emulator WHEN YOU CAN... I dont have hurry time... I have all the life to wait them

... and I'm very very grateful to you

THX & sorry for bad english

I think you missed ffgriever's point:

People dont go creating programs or porting emulators unless its something THEY got the idea to do.

When someone without the knowledge to do it themself comes up with an idea, its extremely RARE that some developer will jump on that idea 'out of the blue', unless its something they already planned to do.

So in a nutshell for this thread and the request.......aint gonna happen anytime soon. Best thing to do is hope someone has an interest and knowledge to do it, but its very doubtful at this time in the PS2's life.
