I apologize in advance if this would be better suited in a different thread. I've ported the windows emulator to SDL. It should be possible to get it to run on a wide array of devices and other consoles. I did not port sound, nor (obviously) 3d. I just took the src/emulator/windows/windows.c and por...

then make it -O.

-o specifies output filename
-O specifies optimization level

-o2 would make the output file '2'

-O2 tells the compiler to use the 2nd level of optimizations.

if we could access those registers, we could be running the shellcode - all you can do at this point is tell the thread "your next instruction is at memory x", and we don't know where that location is.

and I'm glad you're case-insensitive ;).

software mesa is going to be slow. I ported it to the xbox using openxdk, and it is unuseably slow on that, so the psp on a similiarly unaccelerated framebuffer is going to be slow as well.

try pinging the DNS server? If your connection to it is slow, then your connection will be slow(er). It shouldn't be really bad unless the browser is resolving the DNS every single time it makes a connection, which would add up on a feature-rich website.
