Hey, I just released a new GBA emulator for PSP. It was written from scratch. It requires a GBA BIOS to run, so you'll have to obtain one first. It's also under the GPL, if posting about it anywhere please upload the source too or at least include a very visible link to it. I'd really appreciate it if it were uploaded other places just so it's not hammered where it's at.

It's still very much a beta quality emulator, keep that in mind! Many games won't run well or at all! I haven't actually tested much myself, but it has a LONG way to go. I intend to develop this one for a long time. I'm just releasing it to let people know another one is being worked on.

Here are the links:

binary: http://bitpack.net/exo/gpsp.zip
source: http://bitpack.net/exo/gpsp_src.tar.bz2

Please read the readme.txt, okay?? This is my first emulator and my first PSP project so please go easy on me.. if it sucks now it might not suck as much later. Thanks for trying it.

**KINGOFNOOBS** · 08-19-2006, 05:23 PM

**Mister Chief** · 08-19-2006, 05:24 PM

Because PSP games suck.

All watered down ps2 ports.

**Bronx** · 08-19-2006, 05:29 PM

Isn't the bios included in zx-81's version?

psp726 · 08-19-2006, 05:32 PM
