PSPSOne update

Hey everyone,

It's been a little while since my last update, Real life seems to be getting in the way of developing PSPSOne as much as I'd like to. I actually haven't been doing too much work on PSPSOne lately. I decided to take a break and work on a few other small projects. I have been experimenting with SDL + OpenGL together. I've ported over 5+ opensource games that I found on the internet (4 of which that I haven't released yet).
Since my last update, I've added a text-based gui to PSPSOne along with a configuration screen, added in plugin support for controllers, and worked on my BIN/ISO loader CD-Rom support code. I've managed to get in-game on Dragon Ball Z Ultimate 22, and play the game at about 6ish fps.

I've decided that this project is moving a little to slowly, so I've accepted the offers of several programmers who wish to help. Currently, We're setting up a better web page, source control through SVN, and exchanging source code and resources.

My next priority after that is figuring out how to get my dynamic recompiler which was working under PSPE to work consistantly on the real PSP. One of the programmers has offered to help out on the GPU OpenGL plugin, and I plan to put the other on to work on the sound code and/or the GUI.
I believe once the recompiler is fully working on the PSP, I expect to see another huge jump in framerate.

Comments/questions welcome.

I don't know if you want to say or not, but what are the 4 games you have ported over but are un-released atm?

Intersting news , hopefully we`ll see more updates about this soon.

Yes!!!!!!!!!

PacManFan is BACK!!!

Now perhaps, the impatient lurkers will quiet down for a few days or a week.

PMF: I understand a little of what you're going through. I wish you luck, skill and patience. I'm still willing to work with you on graphics if you'll have me.

cool i look forward to the next update

Now that really is interesting... Especially because I still enjoy DBZ-Ultimate 22 on my PS2... :-)

Hope you also get DBZ-Legends (Japanese only... ^^ But I got it... yessss!) working, its imo-the best dbz fighting game i know... :-)

Go PMF, you really get somewhere, and if you really finish this project, not minding if it takes long or not, this will probably be one of the best homebrews ever made...

I still cant believe the possibility of playing all the many good RPGs, ect. from PSX on the PSP...

So, take your Time, its better if you do so and make a good first real release, then quickly wrapping something up thats not working how it should...

I am sooooooo happy

Cant wait to play RE 1,2 and 3

Awsome work man great job!

finally pmf decide to work in team! so the project che run quickly... i hope!

Ah, a team. I've been wondering why it hasn't been done before.

Good luck with it.

hello

when is pacmanfan giving us another update??

joke:p a team sounds good,i hope that the project will go fasther then. Can't wait for the new page. :p

This is great news pacmanfan, it is understandable that your progress would halt pspsone for a while, and it is great that you can get dbz to run at 6 fps, it is a big step. I want to say good job on assembling the team, maybe now new doors will be opened for playstation 1 emulation.

thanks for update PMF, was greatly needed by us here all patiently waiting in anicipation of your greatness. hopefully now you have ateam you will be able to get more done, and so far great work!

is this emulator made from scratch or is he porting a pc ps1 emulator to the psp?

Thanks for the update. Keep up the awesome job and im looking forward to the new webpage!

He is using a ps1 pc emulator as a background however it is basically coded from scratch as he created his own recomplirer.

im kinda coming to the conclusion that pspsone will never actually make it much further...either because of technical problems... or whatever. anyway im prepared to eat my own words....running n64 games isnt too far away espcially after the amazing progress psmonkey has made. cant wait for the summer to see what progress is made and by that time ill have graduated from uni so ill have loadsa time to play games....4 a while till i look for a jobbie.

If you think this then you haven't seen the progress of the Psx emulator on the GP2X which is running on a single 200MHZ ARM CPU with sound which is totally different to the Psx MIPS processor when compared to the Psp's potential with the MIPS processor at 333mhz as well as a Media Engine and a 3D GPU. I think it will take time but it is definately possible, especially since a team will be working on it now.

Some games are actually playable on this GP2X Psx emulator, for example Buster Brothers runs full speed, FFT is slow but playable and many others run quite well. When you consider this is running on a totally different architecture to the Psx then you will know that the Psp will be able to do alot more.

why don't you people state a reason on why it's possible or impossible as purely saying that you can bring an emulator to a system has no real meaning if they can't make it playable which hasn't happened in this case..

Though the PSPOne emulator is possible at playable speeds as the GP2X PS1 emulator is progressing along just fine so the PSPOne author better show some results after 3/4's of a year on working on it :P

I think its possible, hell N64 now plays PD roms. Hopefully when the PSpsone and monkey 64 come out, Sony will see thhe possibilities of homebrew and how far along we are.

Ugh. Most Sony developers use and enjoy homebrew. The problem is, there are ISO loaders. What does this mean? Sony will never support homebrew. I expect to get bull**** thrown at me, because you stubborn people seem to stray away from common sense, but I guess I'll just have to take it.

great news!!

Well, I think Sony should just conveniently forget these iso loaders and make an agreement or something, like I agree not to pirate games or download roms of games that i don't own, then wait a couple of months, if umd prices drop, then patch that baby right up

In emulators that got that,its the part of the emulators I think most people ignore. :icon_smil

When this happens when ever it is IT SHALL BE HISTORY FOR ALL THE HOMEBREW SCENE.

Sorry bout the double post i had to i hate the number 666.

I say they need to issue checksums to the legitimate emulators and homebrew out there, then if an exploit comes about from any of them, then issue an update. It would take a lot of the issues out in one swoop. Only people then left trying to crack the fw are the ones that want to do pirating. Granted it will cost Sony money to authorize all these homebrew programs but would it really cost them MORE money vs piracy? And they don't have to say they support it and say if it crashes your psp we will fix it. All they have to say is they allow it for users how volenteerialy give up their warranty for this option since they cannot garuantee anything. However it would slow down updates to programs for Sony would be the only ones able to issue new checksums and encryptions for the eboots.

sony wont authorize emulators and such cause all the developers like capcom would become pissed at them not to mention nintendo which might sue them. the gp can bget away with it or microsoft cause its the byproduct of a open source machine.

for the next firmware 3.0, sony will release a psone emulator and will sell at low price classic psone games ( think of ff series metal gear etc..) to download and copy to memory card!!! this in good thing right?? also it will be able to launch some applications from memory sticks too!!!!

thanks sony!

ill wait before i get excited

chances are very high that its going to be on a "i-tunes" e-distrubution service

and you would probably have to buy games you have again even if you own them which is not too cool.

also it might only play specific games like bleem for dreamcast did.

This is still cool, this is going to torment me b/w deciding to update or not

I don't think Sony will distribute other ps1 games than first party ones as these are the only games which are its property. So probably no FF7 or MGS.

ps1/ps2 emu sounds very very good..but i wont be updating IF i have to pay for it.
if i could play my ps1/ps2 games then i am happy

I would not upgrade for this, there is bound to be loads of DRM all over it and I don't believe there is a chance in hell that you'd be able to rip your original games from disc to the memory stick to play them.

indeed but we can buy other brand like scandisk ;)

well people can stop making ps1 emulators for the psp, sony seems to be doing that right now and I'm sure it'll be a lot better.

cough cough that will need FIRMWARE updates, and guess what? cant be arsed to update for an emu that could come out as homebrew :evil: :)

well if your happy to pay for ps1 games you already own then that fine but pmf ps1 emulator should still be made, afterall i for know that i am not going to pay another dollar/pound/yen etc. for any ps1 game i already own, if id di that i'd shell out another 100 dollars/pounds/yens approx.
