bootable emulator?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

bootable emulator?

Post by bagpiperhipple » Fri Feb 18, 2011 5:42 pm

hi im new to the forums, and modding...

basically i want to attempt to make my own emulator gaming system.

i need to know how to go about that

id like to make an snes emulator and fit it into something unique, but i need to know how to make a bootable emulator if such a thing exists. ex. have a thumb drive with all the stuff on it built into the device, then upon turning it on, it loads the emulator


i know thats a vague question, but im really starting from scratch here.

thanks for your help

This idea is good and it is achievable with a lot of hard work. For the USB idea you'd need something like a computers USB/SD OS boot loader.
I'm starting to think Arduino could achieve it but I haven't used it before and have a vague amount of information about what it could do. You will have to learn code too. I'm trying to start to learn code to make executable programs and asked around here at benheck about it. I hope this project goes well and doesn't fail. :)
