The purpose of this page is to assess the current and/or best plan to integrate a platform into BizHawk. The goal is to give people an idea of how feasible or how soon a core might be added.
Any ideas and feedback are wanted/needed here! My hope is this page will aid in assessing the quality of different open source emulator cores, get help from core developers, or help point us in a better direction than our current thinking!
- Neo Geo Pocket/VirtualBoy
- Integrating the PSX core from mednafen into BizHawk should serve as a blueprint for doing this to the remaining mednafen cores. I (adelikat) would prioritize porting these cores when this happens. Likelihood of this scenario: slightly less likely than the PSX scenario.
- Intellivision
- A C# core from scratch is in the works. BrandonE has been making good progress on this. Likelihood: Very likely to happen in the next 6 months.
- 32X
- Unknown status
- DS
- Porting of the desmume core. Likelihood: likely. The plan is to refactor the core in the desmume repository until it's more modular and then subrepo it.
- PS2
- There is one PS2 emulator in existence: pcsx2. It is however very complicated and under swift active development. Previous attempts at making 'pcsx2-rr' have failed to keep pace with the active development of the emulator. Likelihood: Very low in the near future. As pcsx2 matures in the years to come, perhaps.
The platform you are looking for isn't here? Bug adelikat.
