Hi All,

Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP.

What's new in version 1.1.0 :

- It works now on 2.5 and 2.6 FW (i've tested it using DevHook)
- All the graphic part has been rewritten to replace SDL by direct GU access (faster)
- Sound is now played at 22Khz instead of 11Khz (i can play it up to 44Khz, it's better but slower

).
- The images are now smooth (using the GU)
- Snapshot files are now in PNG format (instead of BMP)

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

Two binary versions (for 2.x and 1.5 FW) and sources are included in the zip archive.

This should be the last version for 2.x because i will try to use the ME (available only on 1.5).

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

Enjoy,

Zx.

Great, thanks

psp726 · 07-14-2006, 07:12 AM

This is great! I noticed a decent speed improvement from last release! Great job zx-81! Keep up the great work! Also, maybe you could add a option to switch the sound between 11Khz, 22Khz and 44Khz.

**ZereoX** · 07-14-2006, 07:37 AM

This nice runs really smooth

**aDcOoL** · 07-14-2006, 07:39 AM

**Protoss** · 07-14-2006, 07:55 AM

Is there a huge performance difference on Final Fantasy Tactics? Great job ZX-81!

**psp4life** · 07-14-2006, 07:55 AM

I love you.

j_runbert · 07-14-2006, 07:59 AM

but? i got max 9 fps on my 1.5 psp. why? it's so laggy even at 333 mhz

**Master Inuyasha** · 07-14-2006, 08:05 AM

I cannot believe how you release these emulators so fast? How do you code so damn fast? Damn, well, thanks again! =D

**david12795** · 07-14-2006, 08:07 AM

all i have to say is wow.

**mark.sparky** · 07-14-2006, 08:07 AM

really smooth this is great. I just wish the sound was clear. Thnx this is great

**Mister Chief** · 07-14-2006, 08:39 AM

Much better than last time.

**Bronx** · 07-14-2006, 09:25 AM

Great job. this is really spectacular!

**PSPduh** · 07-14-2006, 10:08 AM

Very nice. Although I haven't downloaded one version, I am once you boost sound/speed with ME. After this project is done, what will your next emulator be? (If you don't mind me asking) ( I bet he'll bust out with a ps1 emulator!

)

**kpaul_nyc** · 07-14-2006, 10:49 AM

Nice work ZX, I think its time to upgrade from 1.0.2 for me. How long will the media engine thing take?

I really don't know, may be i will stop to port emulators (all my favovrites emulators are already ported on PSP), and focus to network apps ...

N64.....N64 man.

Daedalus comes with source

Just a thought, since you would be everyone's hero if you got it working well.

rycechrispy · 07-14-2006, 11:21 AM

it would be great if you can get wifi going on this once your done fully emulating it

wifi handling will seriously slow down the emulator

...

**Master Inuyasha** · 07-14-2006, 11:37 AM

As long as I can get my favorate games playing a reasonable speed, (most of my favorate games are

), I am satisfied.

**soccerPMN** · 07-14-2006, 11:39 AM

Sweet. I knew rewriting without SDL would definitely give a speedup

**drif3r** · 07-14-2006, 11:46 AM

nice update 8-7 FPS for me

keep up the awsem work man
