AFT - Please state your name and afflictions.

Landy - maybe in OS maybe in DC... who cares? now i say only from

my own mind.

Landy - Landy

AFT - You write an Emulator correct?  Could you please tell us what

system, and what it does?

Landy - yes i trying write an decent NES emulator...

Landy - it's a Nintendo Entertainment System emulator...

Landy - Now it does not much :) just waste disk space :)

AFT - oh, and what is the name of the Emulator?

Landy - name.. i don't know.. :) really.. :) first code what i write.. 

(pure C) i called as 'iNES'

Landy - but now iNES means portable emulator.. and my own emulator not 

portable.. thus..

AFT - I see, iNES has been ported though correct?

Landy - iNES is fixed, improved,expanded version of my previous C 

code..

Landy - for example my previous C code not draw screen correct 

(colors).. and not supports Scroll(transparent)..

AFT - I see, what exactly does it run right now (ROMs), and on what

systems will it run?

Landy - it really not run big roms.. only small games w/o mapper.. 

but i works on fast page swapper..

Landy - btw.. now fetch byte from ROM take the same time as previous

Fetch Byte w/o mapper :)

Landy - oh my english really bad :)

Landy - it's really fast..

Landy - bcoz i use Watcom C++, FLAT memory model  for initialize 

emulator my NES emu required at least 386 PC...

AFT - Well, it is ok, the other big NES emulator (PasoFami) does sound, 

does your emulator support sound, and if not, when will it (Sound 

seems to be a big thing as far as EMUs go)

Landy - i don't know how memory needs now.. ~400K for internal caches 

+ 4 times*GameROM size(in future)...

Landy - no: VideoROM*4+PRG_ROM...

Landy - i hope 4MB enough for not very big games...

Landy - as i told 8 months ago.. i need US NES for do decent sound

Landy - i'm not satisfying with sound what i can produce by my 

ChineseNES crap..

Landy - thus until i'm not get US NES, i'm not emulating sound..

Landy - i plane do SB/SB16/GUS digital sound..

Landy - no FM

Landy - of course it take CPU time for generate sound..

Landy - but generate  like 500 bytes per interrupt not much...

Landy - as i know NES have mono sound..

Landy - at 22Khz

Landy - 22050/60Hz= <400 bytes :)

AFT - right :), well, that about wraps it up, you have anything you would 

like to add?

Landy - uhm..

Landy - add to waht? :)  i'm stupid like moose in King Quest 3 :)

AFT - Any other comments, or anything else you would like to say

Landy - i hope i get some free time in future and finish NES emu.. 

btw.. i'm interesting in Java language and will prepare my web page 

:) maybe Mario on web page - it's cool idea? :)

AFT - Kewl idea :)

AFT - Well, thank you for the interview Landy.
