Follow-up Comment:
It's a MIPS processors emulator for x86 based 

Firstly, the playstation 1 processor will be emulated

and then an extension to other MIPS processors will be

planned.

I'm very sorry  but I'm currently don't have any code

to provide because I've only made some tests and I'm

in an intensive documentation phasis mainly on the 

processors.



Precision : the goal of the project is not to create a playstation emulator,
it's only useful for me to begin the

project with because it's a MIPS without the FPU unit,

so it's a little bit easier at the beginning.



For OSes support, gnu/linux est the first of them and maybe

windows and/or *BSD in a second time.



the licensing of the project is the GPLv2or later et no

binary only images is planned to be put in the repository.

That's all. :)

Description:
------------
  Il s'agit d'un emulateur de processeurs MIPS sur des plateformes x86.

Dans un premier temps pour l'emulation du processeur de la playstation 1

puis une fois cette emulation acceptable, une extension vers les autres

processeurs MIPS est prevue.

Desoler mais je n'ai actuellement aucun code a ma disposition, le fait

est que je ne me suis contenter que de quelques tests et de beaucoup de

documentations sur les differents processeurs.



Precision : le but de ce projet n'est pas de creer un emulateur 

playstation cette derniere etant seulement pratique car c'est un MIPS 

sans son unite FPU donc un peu plus facile pour de premiers tests, vu 

qu'en plus on peut trouver des bios psx... :)



En ce qui concerne les OS supportes, gnu/linux est le premier d'entre

eux, eventuellement linux ou les *BSD dans un second temps cependant.



La license de ce projet est la GPLv2 ou ulterieure et aucun bios.bin

ne sera placer sur le CVS, juste le code GPL.

voila.

Hello,



I'm sorry, I kjnow the difference between linux and gnu/linux

but thanks for the link anyway :)



This is a mistake, I would write maybe windows or *BSD

but I was talking about linux with friend in the same time 

:)



About the bios.bin, indeed no, the emlator won't require

any binary-only bios image in order to work, it was only

an example because I've started this project with the psx

emulation as a goal it is no longer the case as I explained

in the description.

I know the goal of savannah and that's why I submitted

the project here.



The final goal is to run any MIPS based OS with the

emulator.

Hi,



I am evaluating the project your submitted at Savannah.



Please send again the project description in this tracker, in english - this
is the only language understood by the whole Savannah team.





I nevertheless read your project description and I have a few questions:



> Regarding supported OSes, gnu/linux is the first of them, maybe linux or
*BSDs, in a second time though.



What is, for you, the difference between GNU/Linux and Linux?



Maybe you'll want to check http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html





> No bios.bin will be placed in the CVS, only the GPL'd code.



Does your emulator requires any binary-only BIOS image or any other non-free
software?



Savannah is willing to provide resources and time to developers writing Free
Software that can be used without the need to ask permission from proprietary
software vendor.





Regards.
