[ukvac] Digital cameras play MAME
for those of you with digital cameras - why bother taking holiday
snaps, when you can play defender on your camera:
Emulator puts arcade classics on digital cameras After yesterday's
news that Nintendo plans to offer a cellphone with a built-in
Gameboy Color, you'd have thought go-anywhere gamers would be
sated with opportunities to play arcade games on the move.

<http://www.theregister.co.uk/images/adverts/frogcam.jpg>Not so.
We now
learn there's a project underway that has developed a console
emulator
for... er... digital cameras. The motivation is clear: why use your
LCD
viewfinder for taking holiday snaps when you can take on a host of
virtual
villains instead?
In a way, it's a surprise no one has figured this one out before.
Modern
digital cameras are remarkably good for gaming since they're
inherently
designed to be held in two hands with controls in easy reach of the
user's
fingers.
Two emulators are currently available: Mamed (based on the
well-established Mame (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) and
Messd
(derived from Multi Emulator Super System). Both applications run
under
cameras' Digita OS, which is built into a wide range of cameras
and runs
either on a PowerPC processor or a MIPS chip. Cameras using
Digita include
models from Kodak and Minolta, and HP's C500 Photosmart. ®
