Supermodel: A Sega Model 3 Arcade Emulator

[chesh]

Needs to be compilable w/ PPC code, as that's what the PS3 uses. Intel code doesn't help anyone in this instance.

so it cant be compilet on ps3linux?

ugh...ANOTHER arcade emulator? -__-

The more the better.

Nope, as the version of Linux that's run on the PS3 is PPC also. It's a completely different arch type to program for. Memory addresses, etc. are all different.

We wouldn't need so many if we finally got a MAME port, lol. Model 3 actually has some pretty damned good games, so I wouldn't mind a (full speed!) M3 emulator. Still, it's early days yet =)

Agreed: one arcade emulator to rule them all.

Could be mistaken but I thought PS3 was big endian.

Could be mistaken but I thought PS3 was big endian.

thats the main problem and with emulators can be a real pain because alot of the opcodes will use endian specific functions and operators to emulate. Also the graphics of model3 emulation would be a bitch to port to the ps3.
