Gp32x GP2x thread
Gp2x runs linux so there is any way to get it running on Pdaxrom or port the dynamic recompiler to pcsx(i assume that it have one).

I think the first thing to do would be to get the source code to see if we can get it running on PdaXrom. You'd also probably have to recode some of it to fit the scheme of the PdaXrom, but I wouldn't mind taking a look at it if you could find the code.

i am in contact with the developer.
i will post here when i will have a working/stable version for pdaxrom.

nice! we'll wait

I waiting too! when u got the sources, can u send us?

it is up to the developer if it will be open-source even if i will be come a developer i willn`t realse the code if he don`t want too(my part could be opensource but not for sure).
i will keep you update with what i can say to you.

Great news!

Running Strider 2, R-Type Delta or Gran Turismo 2 at a decent framerate on my Z would blow me away- if they're getting such good framerates on a 200Mhz xscale then maybe I could get sound too on my overclocked C3000? Here's hoping!

it is a ARM920T it is not a Xscale it is better than a 200MHZ Xscale

Damn... PSOne has a 33Mhz mips processor.... I cant beleave dont work nice in a SL-Cxx00 or 6K... or 5600! but in a 5500 I think this needs frameskip?

OK! this is a open source or not?

urielka · « **Reply #9 on:** January 14, 2006, 12:11:38 pm »

it is not closed if it will be open or closed source.
for emulation you need 10 times more power so it is like having a 330MHZ mips processor.a mips processor also have a FPU which make it alot faster than a Xscale on Floating point math.
basicly emulation of the PSOne with a good Dynamic recompiler is posible on 400Mhz Xscales(or 266-300 Mhz StrongARM).

you need to understand that the GP2X has two processor of 200MHZ(ARM 920T and ARM 940T).
which can be used in the same time.

by the way:a Xscale is not realy a single core processor coz it have another core to execute iWMMX code so in theory if you write code in iWMMX and in normal ARM it can run in the same time which will give some speedups.

Hello,

I'm the developer of GP2PSX for the GP2X. I'm extremely interested in getting the PSX running on the Zaurus C1000. I had never heard of this PDA before, but I really want one now. I will gladly get the PSX running great with pdaXrom, but I need to get the system first. I have a feeling it will be pretty hard for me to find the C1000 in my "price range". I will gladly work with the community for help in getting this project up and running.

On a side note, I've been able to get the GP2PSX codebase working on my 412MHz ARM Asus A620 PPC and playable speeds with very little work. I imagine with the Zaurus in my hands, and a few good full days of work, you can see the PSX running at playable speeds. I won't promise full speed, but I think with a powerful system (in comparison to what I normally work with), such as this, I can get a full speed PSX emu up and running in a matter of weeks.

So any ideas on how I could get a C1000 for cheap?

Thanks,
ZodTTD

yep in ebay or just trade your PPC for one
i am the guy from gp32x forum

There are many companies that will sell you a C1000.
If you are concerned about price... conics and priejapan are some of the cheapest. There's a guy on this forum (dice... something or other) selling a few C1000's.

If you set up a paypal donation button on your web page there may be people who would wish to donate. I'm still cathing up on Christmas bills but I may donate down the road if you are still keen on this project.

I would love a psx emulator.

Thx, zodttd!

I think you go love the Zaurus C1000....

Damn... I really wish I would win the lottery... the first thing I'd do (ok, maybe not the first thing, but one of the first things) is buy zodttd a C1000. Having a PSX emu on my Zaurus would be the most awesome thing in the world, and for once we have a developer willing to help us out (unlike, say the FPSEce people who guard thier source like it's a national treasure- it's awesome, sure, but I don't understand why they don't want to branch out). Being a poor college student, I can't help money-wise, but if there's anything else I can do let me know.

Also, what does this mean to us with non-Cxxxx devices? I have an 860, which doesn't have all the wMMX goodies. Any chance of getting it to run a decent speed? All I care is that I'm able to play Final Fantasy VII- everything else is icing on the cake.
