Hi,
I am new in emulation, i wanted to write a GBA Emu,
I can code the CPU, RAM etc..
But i dont know how to draw the sprites of a ROM Image when
I load it. How is it possible to draw the sprites??
I use MSVC++6.
Thanks in advance!!

That's easy enough. ;) Draw them via DirectDraw, SDL, OpenGL, Direct3D, or even the Windows GDI. Same way you would normally draw a sprite.

Hi,
Thanks for your Reply!! :)
Could you give me some examples??
If possible in Windows GDI and/or OpenGL.
Thanks very much! :)

Maybe posting or looking on the web for some examples or forums specifically for WindowsGDI, OpenGL, or Direct3D would help you out more than on a GBA dev forum. Obviously you are making a GBA emu but asking someone for examples of a PC API, like Direct3D, does not belong or fit on this forum. Would resemble someone going to a bread shop and asking for information on the different kinds of donuts there are at a nearby donut shop.
Just my thoughts...

To program an emulator, you must first know how to both program a game on the system you are emulating, and how to program a game on the system you are intending to write the emulator for.
It's a pretty basic question actually. I would seriously rethink the idea of writing an emulator if you don't have that information. An emulator is a difficult project, and it is not recommended for newer programmers.
