    Interview with Jasper Svennevid, coder of Amiga SNES emulator:
    Taken from AmigaEmulatorsCentral

    Hows it going on? Any gfx emulated yet?
      It's going just fine :) I'm currently developing the gfx-engine, and I HAVE SNES-gfx on screen, but nothing nice yet, as I'm solving a problem with VRAM adressing.


    How fast is the CPU loop (compared to SNES?)
      The CPU-loop is currently rather slow, as I want compatiblity before I start to optimize.. I have a few techniques to speed up the CPU-core, as it's highly based on macro-usage. The CPU-loop is a jumptable, but as the 65816 is backwards compatible with the 6502, I have to check for those modes, and that slows things down.. The memory-accesses sux right now, as they contain several layers of code. The hardware though, is the fastest thing right now.


    Is there some betatesters program?
      The one and only who I give betas is Morgan Johansson(Author of A/NES), as he was the one who got me into this. :) I will soon select a few beta-testers after the first release and get into bughunting and optimization..


    Any release schedule?
      I will release a beta on aminet in a few weeks, when I have solved the gfx-problems, and optimized the gfxmodes. Mode 7 will NOT be supported in the first versions, as is deals heavily with rotating and zooming graphics, and I DON'T wanna mess with that before I get some speed in the other modes.
      Btw, I don't yet have a name for it, so i'll be open for any suggestions! :)


    Thanks alot for this information, Jasper!

    AmigaEmulatorCentral has moved!!!

    Here is what Emanuel Schleussinger,
    the editor of AEC had to say about it:

    Hope there is someone that already found out about my new page on Fortunecity.com, so hopefully at least some of you geeks will read this:
    This is the last article where I will mention Geocities. I am pissed off with them. Not only they deleted AEC because they managed to give another user the same 2megs of diskspace as me, no , when reproting this error, they didnt care, and they wouldnt reply, no, they would just kill my username, and make the AEC site address free to the world... thats why this SHITTY StarTrek Page is now on the location AEC was once on, because I couldnt manage to reserve the space again in time. I am PISSED with GeoCities, and , if you want to keep AEC going, PLEASE, all of you do me a favour:
    If you encounter a page linking to the old GeoCities AEC address, mail them, and give them the new one! I really hope this will work, if i will get NO visitors in the next weeks it could well be I stuff the page. Lets hope the best!
