So that emulates a moving robot with NXC code? Cool. 8-)

A bit off topic, but here's one ARM emulator that was implemented on an 8-bit microcontroller!

It's turtles all the way down!

I saw that featured on HAD. Very cool, but I certainly wouldn't wanna use it.

The emulator is written in C, and I presume is reasonably portable. That might be an alternative to QEMU if you want to look into emulating the NXT at the hardware level.

No, I don't mean the emulator. I meant using Linux that's running on a emulator running on a 8-bit micro. Seriously, 6 hours to get to the point where it's usable!? I mean, come on!

So... getting back on topic... Could anybody make an NXT emulator (just nxt brick, including NXT buttons)?

I don't have the m@d skilz :lol: neccesary to do that right now, but (if it's not done by then), it's something to look at in the future.
