Handheld Emulated Lynx?

[Mindfield]

It depends how you emulate. The Lynx uses a 6502 CPU IIRC, roughly the same as the NES.

 

The NES uses a 1.77MHz modified 6502. The Lynx uses two chips -- Mikey, which is a 3.6Mhz 65C02, and Suzy, which is a 16-bit, 16MHz blitter, which is capable of scaling, rotation, distortion, clipping, tilting and flipping in hardware. There's a big difference there already -- the only handheld released since then that was more powerful was the GBA.

Hmm, just looked - it's a port of Handy, therefore written in C.

Handy is written in C++.

 

The problem in doing ports is that very few small systems can handle the

huge class libraries that always go with C++.

 

On the other hand Symbian 60 can easily handle C++. So porting Handy to

n-gage is not difficult. Emulation speed is another topic...

Just a quick fix, no rotation.
