How do I make emulators?

[Lucandrake]

My converter is Microsoft Visual C++, in fact, im in the class right now..., but yeah I want to start to learn graphics, I found tuturials, but the only usefull one I found invloves constant searching

I was thinking something along the lines of Tamashi Neo Geo or Neo Genesis.....

Hey, axl, before you start making a name, you might want to learn some coding, or else you'll get stuck the second you decode the emu's your planning on working from.

Just like when you write an essay, thinking of a name should be one of the last things you do.

Go to www.cprogramming.com, great site to begin with, it even has quizes just incase you get lost , im in it right now, tho I still can't find the lesson that introduces me to using graphics

thinking of the name is all I can do now hehe....

Drake, are you using MFC, writing to the API, or writing console applications?

If you can't tell the diffrence between the three, here is my quick guide:

 

--------Someboddy's quick guide to know what kind of programs you write--------

 

If you have a main function ("void main" or "int main"), then you are writing console applications.

If you have a WinMain function (something "LRESULT CALLBACK WinMain", I think), then you are writing to the API.

If you don't have any of them, then you are using MFC.

Console Aplications, and I figured this were console applications since when I run them the councel window pops out, remember, the classes in the U.S suck!

 

Anyways, axl, did you follow my link? It's the best free tuturial out there!

I haven't exactly started on it, I'll print it during school days so I can stop wasting time in school and read up, do something actually usefull in school besides sleeping....

lol, thats funny because I just started working in school, o well, hope you can make it because I need something to work on with C++, anybody want a calculater program or something that requires math? I can do it with a MS-DOS program, but tell me what you want in it so I can do it for you before I loose my C++ skills

[Weirdy]

I currently am learning c++ myself

 

I'm learning it out of a book

 

can't wait till I get to the part about making gui's instead of having to do everything out of command line
