this is prity amazing and not what i was expecting to see today. 
tried my homebrew game flea on it and it runs but a little slow and the scrolling senes dont load the nextscreen data. 
do u think there is potental to make it run at full speed? id love to use it to do a playdated relese of my game. iv been trying for ages to get an emulator running anywhere neer this. on the playdate

Thank you! :) It's mostly thanks to nwagyu, who made an amazing port to the NumWorks calculator, which has (almost) the same CPU as the Playdate.

I tried really hard to push performance, but there's a hard bottleneck: the Playdate's fast memory is too small to hold the whole NES game, so it constantly has to read from slower memory, and that caps the speed :(

But I'll check out your homebrew game and see if any dedicated optimizations are possible. I'll let you know!
