Sharp ROMs / Psx4zaurus Now Supports Cacko! :)

« on: May 22, 2008, 12:07:24 am »

I was contacted recently about psx4zaurus...I apologize sincerely for my absence. And its been quite a long while too. I just found the Zaurus and will feature it on www.zodttd.com as well.
Time to dig up a Cacko ROM and toolchain! Working on getting a release out tonight. So much has happened since I last developed for the Zaurus! Glad to get the lil gadget back up and going.

Might be the wrong place to ask, but in addition to Cacko, what other distros should I compile for?
pdaXrom Beta 3?
Angstrom?

Oh my, I cant find cross-sdk-armv5tel-cacko-linux-3.4.6-2.2.5-softfloat.tar.bz2 anywhere. Its the pdaXrom toolchain for Beta3 based pdaX distros.
I'm still searching for a cacko toolchain. I remember it being a pain to set up before. Eep.

EDIT: Found it: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distri...ftfloat.tar.bz2

Nice, a link to the toolchain is always the quickest way to see a port. I'll get on it!
I am still timid about releasing the source, as I'm still unaware if I can release the GPU's source, as well as the SPU. The project got mismanaged a bit and things are confusing in that dept.
In the meantime I'll get a port up and going for you.

Hi!

I actually have been checking this thread fairly often until recently. I slowed things down with progress on the Zaurus version of psx4all due to the lack of responses here. As of late, psx4all is getting a complete reworking from the ground up and will support MIPS based handhelds at first. With that version up and running we will move back on to ARM. In the meantime though, if people seem to want updates to psx4zaurus, let me know. A list of requests would be awesome to get compiled and I can go down them one by one and get them checked off for a new build. I'm not quite sure if there's other distros I should compile this for atm. pdaXrom beta 3 is still what I use.

I'd really like a nicely maintained SVN that I could own. I'm still getting sourcing issues worked out, but I need to eventually get this opensourced. I just dont want it to be a big mess.

source code: yes
joystick support: no

Not sure how to do joystick support. Is it via mini usb? If I had a joystick to test with I'd get it going.

kkazakov13, did you read the readme.txt and try things such as frameskip 2/3 or even 4/5? Also the default PSX CYCLE setting is set low for compatibility, but making it 4.0 or 4.5 makes a LARGE difference. Interlace 1 instead of interlace 0 makes a large difference, but degrades graphic quality.

Darth Sith: Via memory card or savestates? Savestates havent been finalized yet, and vary from one version to another, making them somewhat useless currently. Next version is going to have their layout finalized so they work properly.

Responded on zodttd.com with the following:
Did you put the psx bios file scph1001.bin (you must supply it) in the rootdirectory of the storage card? That's where you must have put the psx4zaurus binary. This file is required.

The fps reporting is off, it can be up to twice as slow as the actual framerate when frameskipping it on. :x

There's a lot of settings that can make things faster. The readme.txt explains that editing the PSX CLOCK and PSX CYCLE in-game can make a large difference in adding performance. Also setting interlace to 1 makes a large difference for adding performance.

Diablo should be fixed now. I *HIGHLY* suggest using only in-game memory card saves, instead of savestates as savestates arent fully implemented yet and will most likely not work from version to version either.

The new version build 080207 is up on http://www.zodttd.com

Much improved (though still mainly a quick port of psx4gp2x) new version of psx4zaurus coming soon at http://www.zodttd.com
Compatibility and performance is much higher, and frameskip is implemented now and set on by default.

It should be coming to zodttd.com sometime tommorow. It will be a huge release.
