De-compiling, Editing and Recompiling...

Can someone tell this noob what he needs to work on the source of an emulator and how to compile it into a usable form.

Even if I don't achieve anything I fancy messing around.

Thanks!

Perhaps you should learn a bit more about programming in general before tackling something like this...

if you think asking this on a message board is a good idea, shoot yourself.

HOW ABOUT READING?

Message boards are not an IRC channel, you are not sitting in a room with people holding conversations. This message board is for Information, not hand-holding idiots.

There is plenty of information to answer your question on this forum.

GOOGLE should be the idiots start page, and anything you want to talk about, you google research it first.

READ THE FUCKING BOARD. post when you have information we might be interested in, or when you've seriously tried but have a minor problem and can post details and source to ask for assistance.

How about backing up a bit.

Jesus I want to mess about a bit, take some source code for an emu, change some things, compile it again. I don't want to write a damn HLE N64 emulator or be acredited with a Dreamcast EMU for the PSP

I started off in playing consoles,then found myself in front of a PC tinkering with wiindows, I'm self taught on everything I know about PC's and that is how I want to go with this idea.

Forums are here to be utilised, who knows giving someone some decent advise may actually be beneficial to the board. Any idiot can suggest doing a google search. Then again seeing as this board is full of really clever people it might of been easier to post the query here don't you think?

This may be my first post but I've watched this board for months, I like to think I am the sort who will post when it's worthwhile, and not have a post count made up of lame newbie bashing threads.

I could of posted this anywhere but afaik this is the best place to ask, or am I wrong? Oh sorry yeah that's it, I should of posted that I want to run emulators on a PSP with 1.52 firmware or claim that the psp-dev video was fake .....

fashidus: Back off. The forum admins have the right and responsibility to control the direction of these forums and be as nice or rude as the situation warrents in the process, you don't.

gel: We are not a general purpose forum, you'd be best served going somewhere geared more towards general topics and noobs such as gamedev.net. Learn how to program in general and the basics of both graphics and game programming.

to fashidus: woah, calm down.

to gel: i agree with Drakonite, gamedev.net is a great place to go espicially since your starting out, and they are also a lot nicer(they dont mind if people ask the same question over and over again). Also dont only rely on that, you should go buy some books (amazon.com) and read up on what you want to do. if you are a complete noob, then start of with how to C/C++ books. and start your way there. also, you should learn a bit of ASM if you can find any good books on that.
