M.E.S.S. port on handheld console

[lucifershalo]

Do you know if there is or will be port on that wonderful multi emulator

to

Palm

GP32

and now GP2X

and PSP?

Well, I don't know about any versions of MESS for the GP32 or the PSP... and apparently, neither does Google. Since the GP2X isn't even released yet, I think it's safe to say that no port of MESS is done for it yet (But give it time).

 

While I like the idea of portable C64 games, handheld systems are generally ill-equipped to emulate computers well (Mostly due to lack of buttons and reading tiny fonts). MESS is especially bad as it relies on the slow (but accurate) MAME code. You're better off looking for dedicated emulators instead.

I'm hoping since the GP2X seems to support SDL that the xmess port shouldn't be too hard to get over to it. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those. <wipes up drool>

well I use MESS mainly for non computer emulation but for atari 5200, bally astrocade and arcadia 2001

so the "missing keyboard" would not be a problem

but are right it is a pain thats why I dont like to use the atari8bit emulator for playing a5200
