Jpcsp SVN r2016

But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.

Ville's Development Log (2011/03/12)
Some Taito Type-Zero games were dumped last year, and MAME already has a skeleton driver for it. Out of curiosity, I decided to have a look at the system. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out the format for character tile data, only to realize that it's simply stored as a 512-pixel wide two-dimensional array (duh).
