I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I read on the GP2X board that Zodttd has decided to stop development on psx4all and hand the project over to unai The problem here is, has unai got a Zaurus to test psx4all on or is this the end of zpsx? ZodTTD did mention that somebody else is working on a psx emu from scratch which is being aimed at low-power devices so there is hope yet!
The other disappointing thing for me was that recently I got to try the latest pdaXrom psx4all beta but Strider 2 was slower under the new beta than under the very first zpsx release - slighly less than half the speed even Has anybody got a copy of all the previous zpsx releases? I can only see the latest beta linked on the psx4all site.
-
Did zodttd say anything about opening up the source to everyone... so that the process could be continued from where he left off? Just in case this mystery man named "unai" does the same but doesnt hand it off to anyone else....

Yes, sad news.
I have the last few version of beta 4. I have a meeting tnite but I'll try to slap them on the Wiki late tnite or tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone,
Though it is true that I handed over psx4all to Unai and Chui, there is still hope for the Zaurus.
The psx4all project might be available for a port to the Zaurus when they revise the code, as well.
I am currently working with a extremely talented emulator writer to write a ps1 emulator specifically designed for handhelds. In fact, the dynarec is already being built and has progressed well, though we have to get just about everything else but the "core" up and running.
The two baseline platforms for the MIPS/ARM archs will be the PSP/GP2X. The GP2X platform will most likely be a fairly straight forward process to get it running on the Zaurus.
By having an emulator written from the ground up with performance of handhelds out now in mind, and with the talent onboard with help from people such as Exophas e...it should be worth keeping an eye on.
Another project I'm working on is an "official" port of gpSP (GBA) emulator to the GP2X. If there's not already a gpSP port to the Zaurus, let me know. I imagine it won't even need the dynarec to get it working well by just using the interpreter. It run's fullspeed on the PSP (the platform is was built for) though it uses a ARM -> MIPS dynarec.
I haven't abandoned the Zaurus, I've just shuffled projects.
-
Good work zodttd, hopefully there will be more work on the psx emu for the zaurus in future, but thanks for all your efforts to date!
Could be a bit of a blessing in disguise, I for one would go nuts for a GBA emulator on pdaxrom, there is no real way of emulating it at present and th games are obviously perfect for a handheld.
Look forward to hearing more
-
Thanks for all your hard work Zod! You've added some real value to this community and I think you can be proud of that.
-
I had another look for that post of the GP2X board and I couldn't find it either, but ZodTTD has confirmed it himself now so there you go.
I'm eagerly awaiting this new psx emu and I'd also love to see this gba emu ported to the Z.
Thanks for all your work on zpsx zodttd! antikx says he's got some of the old betas- have you got them all archived somewhere? As I say I'm pretty sure it is the very first zpsx release I'm after, maybe the second as I don't recall their version numbers. I used to get about 11fps under Strider 2 but only 5fps (thats with sound off and at 624Mhz again) under beta4 and I want to put a good quality clip of zpsx emulating this up on google video before I revert back to bleedin' cacko.
Anybody up for petitioning Sharp to write a cxxxx 2.6 kernel display driver? Maybe I should make it a bit more general in like 'support the Zaurus, you know, that great portable computer line you make?'

Any news about opening up the source? I'm still waiting for a chance to add it to OpenEmbedded so a lot more arm (and mips) toys can benefit from it
-
god! gpSP port to Zaurus would be better than psx, since faster and much more suitable to zaurus size and controls
-
koen: The psx4all source is such a mess I'd feel sorry for those who have to deal with it. On that note, Unai and Chui are reworking things for psx4all, hopefully from the ground up, and theres the chance they might open source it. If I hear that they do, I'll let you know.
gpSP for the GP2X will be, like the PSP version, very tied to it's hardware. I will see if I can come up with a quick gpSP port to the Zaurus later today, with nothing "hardware specific", and it will most likely use SDL.
So the Zaurus might have a gpSP port very soon, though it will most likely be unofficial for now, since Exophase may not want to go this direction with his application.
I've been trying to get things up and running for the pla ystation emu written from the ground up for handhelds. I'm not the lead on this emu. It is progressing along while I try to manage some of the smaller aspects of things along its way. So far so good.

Actually gpSP has been already ported to Zaurus; I used to play with it quite a lot before reflashing.
And it's extremely fast and stable
gonna find the package

lots of emulators posted here

Hi. I actually know the author of gpSP and we were talking about his emulator when he brought up the fact there's a gpSP port to the Zaurus.
I actually stopped developing for the Zaurus since I had to sell it for money I needed. I miss it though.
If I ever am able to get a Zaurus Cxxxx again, I'll definitely port the new psx4gp2x over. I finally got the dynarec working well. It should run great on the Zaurus. Shouldn't have sold it.
-
zodttd,
psx4gp2x is opensource? maybe someone can port xD

Hi zodttd
There are C1000 for a few more than USD 300 on pricejapan.com these days. I'm sure that a lot of people would be willing to donate so you can have one and port the latest version of psx4gp2x... I know I would , even though I'm still saving for buying my c3200
(next month if everything goes well... yai !)
Of course, It would be even better if it were open-sourced in the process, so Oz/Angstrom people can try to work on it, too ^ ^
-
I really would like to opensource it, but I don't like how the code is right now. I'm trying to see if others such as Exophase (since he's reading...Exophase is an amazing dynarec programmer! ) will help with some rewriting of it. At that point I'll speak to Unai (who wrote the GPU and helped greatly) if he will allow the GPU to be open sourced. I think it should be a public SVN type project similar to OpenTTD imho.
If there is enough demand to raise $150, I can match it and get a C1000. $300 seems about the price I'm finding them for, and pricejapan is where it's at usually. I really want to get ZPSX updated as I think it will be truly playable (I would say fullspeed, but peoples definitions of fullspeed can be weird) at native ps1 FPS. It was close with some previous versions. Now it's obtainable with a bit of work.
I also want to bring over a new OpenTTD to the Zaurus, as well as a more "official" gpSP. Since Exophase (who is an amazing dynarec programmer btw! ;P ) wrote gpSP so well that it can support the GP2X with a dynarec, with little effort I should be able to get the ARM dynarec working on the Zaurus version if it isn't already.
Thing is, barely anyone is posting to this topic so I wonder if there's the demand for a new ZPSX, gpSP, and OpenTTD.

Well, to me the oesf forums aren't very active these days (maybe not this one, but I barely read it as I don't use pdaXrom on my old 5500... so I can't really say). Consequence of the announced end of the zaurii line ? Hope not :-/
Whatever, I'm not really into openttd kind of games, but I'm really interested in zpsx and gpSP. That is, once I got my 3200
-
I definately want a new release of ZPSX!
-
Thanks for the support. What's the latest and greatest for distro's for the Z besides pdaxrom, if nobody minds me asking? I've been out of the loop since the official word from Sharp about the end of the product line. I figured everyone just upped and left.

You mean what ROM is getting a lot of attention besides pdaXrom? I believe that would be Angstrom. But pllease continue to develop ZPSX for pdaXrom, it's still quite popular.
-
Will do.

actually we are not entirely sure about the supposed end of the production line...apparently sharp continued the production after the date they said would mark the end of the production line...

yes, the forum hasn't got much attention lately... this could be due to several reasons. i'd say one one of them being the fact that pdaxii3 got rock stable so no one has any problems with it
or it could be just that there isn't much going on on the Z scene lately. but zodttd can make the scene just a bit more exciting if he could pull out a decent speed psx emu. i would gladly help with the donations... er...that is, once paypal finally gets available in my country hey zodttd, currently, the Z port of the gpsp doesnt utilize the whole screen, can anything be done about that?

No paypal in croatia ? I thought I saw croatia in the list of "extended network country" but I'm not sure what that mean... Maybe It's just "sending funds" ? https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_...onality-outside (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-country-functionality-outside)
Does moneybooker permit accounts from croatia ?

i myself am not sure what extended network means...paypal isn't the only problem, i also don't have a credit card (i'm a student) and my parents...er,let's just say they aren't exactly tech savvy so they think that giving me a credit card is a bad idea. Moneybookers? never heard of it...

Its certainly a shame to hear you ended up selling your Z zodttd as zpsx was turning out to be a killer zaurus app, especially as you sound so confident it could become full speed with a bit more work! I really do hope you manage to get another Z soon, either a c1000 or a c3100.
I really would donate but I'm in debt and can't even afford to get my own Z fixed yet. Put me down as a big fat +1 on the enthusiasm board tho!
EDIT
Yes, gpsp runs very well indeed on the cxxxx Zs- looked full speed to me!

Hmm, I can't run 0.9-3 (quits with "illegal instruction" whenever I try to load a rom) - but 0.9-2 runs just fine. When I change the resolution first to 320*240, it runs fullscreen.
If 0.9-3 is even faster, I must get it going.
Anyone runs it on the 2.6 kernel ? (r197 or up ?)
BTW : the pacman collection V2 and sonic seem to run fine (maybe sonic is still a bit slow).

Hi everyone!
I'll put up a donation link in my signature so people can donate, when there's another donator or two onboard. Just so people that donate are sure that I have enough funds for a Zaurus like intended.
Dromede: I was wondering who you were! Exophase mentioned you.
-
Oh, as for gpSP, there's a lot of work being done with it. Games like FF6 now work and performance is improving greatly. If gpSP for the Z isnt using the dynarec, you're missing out on a HUGE performance gain as well as potential compatibility. Getting it to run in fullscreen or native GBA resolution is easy, especially when I have room to work with from the gains in performance from the dynarec.

I PM'd him. Hopefully it will work out well! Currently pricejapan.com has a C1000 for $310 shipped which is impressive. For those looking for a C3200, they have one up for $415 or so.

Done!
Indeed, a psx emu would be about the best (most advanced) gaming machine our cxxxx's would be capable of emulating (I would imagine a N64 would be out of the question- zodttd?) but I've long been disappointed that we don't have a good Megadrive or Neo-Geo emulator for the Z. Both those platforms are emulated full speed w/sound without having to overclock on the GP2X, which is of course only a 200Mhz ARM device.
The other emu I've long dreamed on having on the Z is xMAME complete with cyclone 68k emulator. All the best arcade games that MAME supports use the 68000 cpu but no-one has ever been bothered integrating it- really annoying! Theres also a ARM z80 emu that needs to be integrated into xmame. If this goes on much longer I'll be forced to learn to code
-
Squidge ported Final Burn Alpha Plus to the GP2X upon my request, and it could probably get ported to the Zaurus.
Another project I'm working on and want the Z for, in fact, is a ARM Dynarec for DOSBox. I've been in touch with the DOSBox team and they've been very helpful and will merge my work to their CVS if all goes well.
-
hmmm...come to think of it, i'd rather have a fullspeed dosbox than a fullspeed psx emu. i'm a big fan of old dos games. in fact i think those years should be called the golden age of gaming... XCOM2:TFTD is the first game that comes to mind...
-
Even though it's DOS4GW, theres also Syndicate Plus. I got it running on the Z but slowly. Thats a good reason alone to get an ARM Dynarec for it.

Ok, I added the donation link in my signature.
I don't know why gpSP is giving people issues on the Zaurus. I didn't create the port. Though I can easily port it to the Zaurus myself with updates straight from Exophase (original author of gpSP) in a more official manner.

Thanks for the help nodens. For those not following the psx4all project here:
http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=37435 (http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=37435)
ZPSX will bring a playable PS1 emulator on the Zaurus for pdaxrom and possibly other distros upon request or donation. It has compressed ISO support, sound, fullscreen rendering, a much improved ARM Dynarec for CPU Emulation, savestates/memory card support, etc...
I've been disassembling codeblocks from the ARM dynarec's outputted recompiled code and it's equivalent MIPS instructions. Luckily Exophase has been a huge help and given me his disassembler code as well as many performance tips. Just today with his help I added another 9 FPS (!) on some games and 3-5 FPS in general. For instance on the 200MHz ARM GP2X handheld, Buster Bros Collection went from 43 FPS to 50 FPS. I'll need to framelimit for ZPSX now so games dont go too fast.
Thanks for the support everyone!

i see some people having problems running gpsp. i've got it runinng perfectly so i'll share my setup: c1000 with the latest pdaxii3, gpsp 09-3 running outside X with sdl libraries that came with zpsx beta4. and do you need a credit card for a moneybookers account or paypal?

Mmm, must try those SDL libs ...
I'm running r198, I thought that could be the problem. I'll check the SDL you refer to and will report here again.
BTW : can you run fullscreen when running outside X ?

In some countries, you may transfer money to a paypal account from a bank account via a regular wire transfer, without a credit card.
(I don't know if it's the case anywhere outside of america, it ain't possible in France for instance).
You can do that from all country supported when you use moneybookers.com, AFAIK. you do not need a credit card when using moneybookers : you just transfer money from your bank account to the moneybookers account.
EDIT: I think you can also send a bank check. In all case it may takes a few days to show up in your moneybookers account, the same way it would for a regular bank to bank transfer.

Hi zodttd, I remember donating you 20USD just before you tell us that you stop working on the zaurus release. I must admit that i was quite disappointed !! As i had no news since then, maybe you can check if something came to you from rototo2000 (the 20 october 2006).
I'm very happy that you start again to work on psx for Z.
(sorry for the not so good english, i'm french!).

Those libs (from the beta3-feed nor the r198-feed) don't change anything.
I had them installed.
0.9-3 still quits with an "illegal instruction".
No one else is trying this on r198 ?

bolbit: Oh my, I hope you got a nice thank you from me. If not, I apologize. I really do appreciate it. I didn't want to stop developing on the Zaurus but when Sharp was talking about discontinuing the Z and this board was getting a bit died up, I thought it was over. Needing some money, I sold that C1000.
Got another donation for $10 (thanks so much!). We're really close now.
Time to get some work done in preperation.

To Sharp, Zaurus was always a dictionary and nothing more. Their choice of OS was purely random and they knew nothing of the opensource community. I remember someone saying that he spoke with a member of the Zaurus developer staff or something and that person said those things. there's a thread somewhere that has some info on this...i think it was kahm who posted it... anyways, the board will never die simply because there's nothing that can replace our Zaurii. I spent about six months prior to buying my C1000 searching for a perfect pocket computing solution. And i found nothing that can beat the Z in terms of form factor, battery life, software and especially price. As far as ZUG community goes, zodttd and hopefully exophase can breathe new life into this little community of ours by giving us some serious emulators. Now... my only wish is to see the merging of pdaXrom and Angstrom teams into one team with a single goal - the creation of the best possible OS for our Zaurii...
the ZAUROS!!!
ahem, right... gpsp cannot be run fullscreen yet. i asked exophase about this and if i understood correctly, he said that it runs in native gba resolution only.
zodttd, are you sure that the Z port of gpsp has an interpreter cpu core?

I run :
# xrandr -s 1 && gpsp
and gpsp launches fullscreen.
(version 0.9-2)

Dromede: There's a BVDD SDL version (the one I included with ZPSX awhile back) for pdaXrom and when used I believe it will scale the screen to fullsize automatically, even with gpSP. My guess is that the Z version is using the interpreter due to the performance not being as high as expected.

yes, and im using those very same libraries. i usually run gpsp outside X. the gpsp gui indeed is fullscreen, but when you start the emulation the display gets smaller and centered and there are thick black borders around it. i'd put on a screenshot if there's a way of doing it in a console...
-
Ah yes, I know why it's giving that issue. I can fix that.

What a crappy name
Anyway, Angstrom and pdaXrom are really different. Different approach, different development model... and different product in the end. A bit of competition is a good thing if each project is making progress, sometimes picking some code from the other.
Well, IMHO
(And I do think they are both making progress).
What I would like would be a dual boot between the two roms
I saw a thread or two about that, and I'll probably try to look into it when I get my C3200
PS : Yai ! getting closer !! $55 more and here goes zottdt's Z ! Then there is still exophase... I know I'll need to wait a month to donate again, though
-
I don't think Exophase is actually interested in getting a Zaurus. I was misinformed. I asked him directly and he said he didn't want one. Not sure if he was serious though, or really gave it consideration.
-
Hi pelrun, thanks for the donation! I really appreciate it. About 3 or 4 more donators and we're there! So happy!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=163814\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I've sent you 15$ :-) Enjoy
-
well let's offer exophase some financial support and see what he has to say about it. maybe he'll change his mind. it would be great to have him on board...

Hi,
While I was reading through related topics about zpsx and others, I saw there are also versions for sharp-rom-based distro's.
So, wouldn't it be a good idea to move this topic to the general discussions forum or the software forum ? It could also help the fund raising.
Just a thought ...
Chero.
-
Chero, I had the idea of moving to General Discussions as well. I think a new topic there would be better suited though, as the initial posts on this thread can confuse some.
Merli: Thanks so much! Now we're really close to the goal amount!
Dromede: I'll bring it up with Exophase again and see.
-
Up one more donation. I put up some extra money and got the Zaurus from ghost. It will most likely come tommorow (Saturday) or Monday.
Expect great things.
-
i think we need a new emulation section on this board :-)... glad to see you back on board zodttd,,,
respect.
-
Ya! This is good news. Welcome back zodttd.
I think it's great how the community pulled together in such a short time.
-
yeah ! \o/
Ok, now I can hardly wait my own Terrier. should be here in a week

I have received my Zaurus C1000 from ghost. It is in perfect condition and it works well. It came preinstalled with pdaXrom r1.1.0 r198 by my request. I noticed this distro is actually a bit "off", and the cpuoverclock.py doesn't adjust for voltage increases needed for 624MHz (easy fix though).
Thanks to everyone for their support. The donations helped out so much! I will return the favor with a new and improved ZPSX as promised.
Time for me to get coding!
