PlayStation 2 Port?
#1
Hi, fellow mGBA users.

I'm satisfied with the progress of mGBA so far, it's better than any of the other emulators I have tried on the Wii Homebrew development scene. However, when I was looking around the mGBA website, I saw that there is a working PSP port of mGBA, and seeing as the PSP is on roughly the same raw-power level as the PS2[my PS2 was beside my TV at the time, in case you're wondering "where'd he get the PS2 from?"], I thought about a PS2 port. I mean, there is a PS2 Homebrew scene (FreeMcBoot), and the PS2 is definitely capable. I looked up the specs and the PSP is only slightly (33MHz) faster than the PS2, and they use very similar components (PSP's CPU is basically a mini Emotion Engine, the PS2 CPU). Maybe I'm missing something, but the majority of devices emulating a past machine only needs to be around 10x faster than the original, tops (then there are rare cases like the Xbox (original) emulator/s, where it needs to be crazy powerful to run these games in comparison).

Is GBA Emulation a special case, or is there just no interest in a PS2 port? I'm just curious.

Thanks for reading.
