Porting Mupen64plus to Windows phone 8

[thedarknight68]

Is this project really going on,there have been no replies from the dev after the first starting thread:unhappy:

Hopefully the dev has just been busy with getting the app ready for beta testing.

Argh I hope this wasn't a troll...

A simple port of this emulator over to WP8 seems a little unrealistic for the same reasons as EmiPSX is not a direct port of an existing PSX emulator. The CPU core in the mupen64plus distribution is dynarec based which is not going to work on Windows Phone (self modifying code isn't allowed). It may be possible to reconfigure the build to disable the dynarec and use just the interpretter by itself but that would be way too slow on a phone. Unless the dev has thorough knowledge of the target architecture (MIPS R4300) I doubt this is going to make much headway, given the amount of work to make a fast enough CPU emulation which conforms to the store requirements and available API (rewriting it into a threaded interpretter MAY be fast enough). But hopefully I'll be proved wrong!

This looks like a dead project. You can't just 'port' something that complex, come on.

According to Andre (the dev of EmiPSX) mobwi is still working on it. Here's hoping it sees the light of day sometime soon.

Great! Any knowledge of n64 emulator for windows 8/rt?

Well with windows x64/x86 you have project64- if/when an N64 app is created, the limitations of metro basically guarantee that project64 will be the better choice anyway.

Ermahgawd can't wait for this app

I love to try out your n64 emulator but Windows phone Developer Test doesn't accept my email address since it's not supposed to exist. (Don't want to soft-reset my phone)
I have been waiting for someone to plot n64 emulator to Windows Phone.
I'll buy new Windows Phone 8 and make a video review when you release this emulator to the public.
Yes! Goldeneye 007/X , Vigilante 8, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64 and Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on my Nokia Lumia phone.

The time has finally come to enjoy our n64 classics on Windows Phone​

This dude took us all for a ride

 

[tardismatrix22]

I had my hopes up

 

[Nicomario]

Yep. So did a lot of people.
I'm learning programming now to see what I can do. It may take a month or two.

 

[DennisvdG]

So is this project canned???

 

[Nicomario]

S?. The developer played a ruse.

Buy????I hope it's free..... :unhappysweat:

What have you worked on for months and then given away for free? C'mon hurry up! Waiting for my free stuff.

Enjoying free stuff is one thing. Asking for it is a little pathetic.

How it's going? I can't wait for this app! Playing Mario Kart 64 on the bus... Awesome!
