- Computer Languages Known:
- In decreasing order of impressiveness factor (most impressive stuff
first)... Microsoft BASIC on the TRS-80, Z80 assembly, C++, 486 assembly,
and I can nearly read Pascal code (does that count?). Oh yeah, I had to
take FORTAN on the VAX (comes in real handy).
- Contribution(s) to Emulation:
- Pioneering Win32/DirectX use in emulation, promoting Windows 95 and
Windows NT as viable gaming platforms. Lots of C++ optimization techniques
(in the super cool, clean C++ Z80 and 6502 emulations and graphics code in
MageX).
And all of this comes with complete source (like it should)! I've
also been working on
Turbo Grafx 16 emulation (in the form of the Win32 port of Jens
Restemeiers' VPCE).
- Miscellaneous Comments:
- Computers sure is fun.
