I'd like to have a go at, and devote the time towards achieving, creating an emulator for the original XBox, but want to start small, something like an 8bit system or a Nintendo handheld early console.
I'm not sure where to start. I work in the I.T. industry and used to have a little programming experience (Pascal) back in the late 90's. My questions are:
1. Which language do I have to learn to program in? Is it C++ or Visual C++?
2. How long will I have to learn this language for and does it require you to have a lot of years experience in programming to be skilled in creating an emulator?
Any other advice would be appreciated. I have the desire to achieve my goal and just need to be pointed in the right direction. They say that hardest part of any project is how to get started.
Cheers for the advice.
