Well there has been some news on the Ngine page about the status of there emulator here is the quote from the Ngine page:

“Hi all! Thanks for supporting ngine by visiting the site although there has been no major progress announcement in the last two weeks or so. I was plagued with personal and technical issues, as well as possible copyright infringement issues… So I had to change the roadmap for ngine development, here is what I have done:

ngine will not need *ANY* copyrighted runtime libs to run on the dreamcast anymore. Instead, a mix of Dan Potters dreamlib and selfmade custom target platform code will be used.
the release of ngine-snes9x will come with all the files you will need, in various different formats like cdi/bin-cue and propably as a srec version to upload via the serial slave for the debugging freaks 😉
I have, altogether, dropped the thought of using the “devkits” floating around.
What does this mean for the release? Well to be honest, I will have to rewrite some code that used to work already, so it is not exactly going to be out faster now. On the other hand, we now already have two competing snes9x ports for the dreamcast, so there is no real rush for me… i am even thinking about porting another emulator like DGen also. Listen, this does NOT mean I will drop the development of ngine-snes9x.

I have the serial slave up and running, like I mentioned in my last post, and now, I am also able to compile all off the example source around that is using the GCC compiler and sh4 libs. All of them works a treat, for example CD filesystem access, Video access, Controller handling etc. And it all looks easy to get to me. I will hopefully start tonight trying to compile ngine-snes9x on GCC… and see what happens then 😉 .

Hope this is a satisfactory update for you guys, and if you have any questions, post them on the board.

Well does this mean there is going to be a a Sega Genisis emulator in the making soon what do u think??? Personally i hope he ports Dgen to the DC because there are enough Snes Emus at the momment and there ain’t no Genisis emu yet.”
