Let's stick to the facts there - going straight to the hardware has
always
been an esy way to fail QA (if you get caught). Not to be confused with
the simple low-level macro's.

Then it's not setup properly. I was a beta tester for ARM on the ARM
SDK development program, and the emulator that shipped with that would
emulate the pocketstation CPU on anything from a K6-233 upwards.

Maybe I should write you a proper Pocketstation emulator...

Cygnus is shipping one as part of the PSX2 devkit isn't it?
(according to their WWW site anyways). I reckon that you'd need a
kickass
Sun or HP Apollo to run it on though...but....the PSX1 devkit's (esp.
the PA)
were so expensive that emulating and specifying a hugely expensive
workstation
to run it on is still a cheaper option (upwards of =A310K will buy a lot
of
workstation). Only a thought.........

Jame's - you're an Oz bloke aren't you? Ever heard of a guy called
Cameron,
used to work for Melbourne house down under, now heads up a team in
Croydon
doing Gameboy stuff? I'm only asking 'coz I was drinking in the pub with
him
the other night (he's dating our lass's mate).
