For one reason: this is my first foray into the lands of hardware and emulation. Unless I write the code myself at least once, I'm going to have no idea what's going on. I simply won't be able to extend SkyEye, as I won't know what GIO is and how it works, and so on. Also, SkyEye doesn't support the DM270 chip, only the ARM7TDMI CPU, which is the least of my worries. Thanks for the link though - I can now throw code at both and see if my CPU emulation is correct, these damn arithmetic flags are driving me nuts.
edit: best idea ever - anyone want to port openGL to the DM270? *drools*
edit: ZOMG! Booting into rrload main menu!
No input support yet.
edit: Input support for the serial connection, I can browse menus and do stuff, yay! It doesn't boot any further...perhaps it needs a real firmware file, not just rrload.
