With so much good work being done on emulation, I started a web page for the
https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Emulation

with a page off there specifically for zpsx.. I basically copied the README file from the zpsx.zip, perhaps as time goes by it can be fixed up to be more useful, e.g. with a list of compatible games, and how well they work on different zauruses!

Wow thanks!

I really appreciate it!

As for bvdd, it is kinda weird how little info there is on it out there. I was thinking it's a custom driver someone made. From looking at the code in mplayer I was able to use bvdd in zpsx, but it went the same speed as SDL, and flickered a bit since it's not buffered. Plus I had to do screen rotation for it since the framebuffer is rotated, which sucks since it slows things down.

I'm getting a lot of help coming in for my PSX ports, and soon the GPU code will be sped up. I also had a guy from the GP2X community who knows ARM assembly contact Urielka to help him out with the dynamic recompiler.

Btw, it seems in the ZPSX v0.06 codebase there's an issue with HLE. It seems I can either get HLE working or cut the amount of games that load in half. Heh.  Well I'll try getting HLE working again, though it seems HLE doesn't help enough to make it worth it.

Btw, Wipeout XL runs now. I love that game.

Hmm... seems to be borked for me- nothing happens past the loading screen (HLE or not). Backspace doesn't quit, but for some reason the power button still works. Any other Cxxx users having similar issues?

Hmm, strange. Just to help debug, are you using ZPSX from within X11 or not?

Nope, straight from the command prompt. Within X11 is way too slow, but I'll try running it there just to see what happens. All three ROMs I have still work under .05 (Final Fantasy Tactics, R-Type Delta [though the menus don't show up so I can't play it], and Chrono Trigger [keeps resetting when I try to start a new game]). I'll have time this weekend to rip some more titles and give them a shot, and perhaps take a look at the source code (though I don't think I can do anything better than what's been done already). Thanks again for your persistance!

bvdd is a low-level driver for PXA270 framebuffer.
i mean use only bvdd so you willn`t depend on SDL coz it always causes problems.

Same issue for me, with or without X11... using SDL 1.2.9

And "top" reports this still using 97% of CPU  

I wait for 1 hour and nothing!

By any chance are you using compressed ISO's? If so, the .bz compression seems to be borked. Also remember to install the bz2 shared object. Other than that, very odd. I'll have to figure this one out!

Hopefully I can get it fixed today, I'll try my best.

OK! I using this command to generate .bin files from my PSOne CDs:
Code: [Select]
$ cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile gta2.bin --device ATA:0,0,0
-- driver generic-mmc-raw gta2.toc
 

This not have compression? right?

I'm just using straight .bin files that I ripped a while back. They worked in previous versions and other emus, but no luck in .06. I'll see what I can figure out when I have the time.

Hmmm, strange. I think GTA2 might have a problem with v0.06 as someone on the GP2X boards said they couldn't get it working with the latest codebase. I'll have to test that game out.

stuffman: what game are you testing btw? This error usually comes up when a game's bin file isn't recognized/loaded properly. I'll have to fix this bug but it will help if I already have the game to test with.

Btw, I got sound working! For those who can use ZPSX currently, try it out:

Right now I'm trying R-Type Delta, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Chrono Trigger. All 3 will at least load under the older versions, although the menu in R-Type doesn't show up, so it's unplayable, and Chrono Trigger resets itself every time I try to start a new game (it spits out some garbled graphics really quickly and goes right back to the title screen). All are straight .bin rips that I'm running from my microdrive. Still haven't had much time to mess around, though.

Hmm, only thing I can think of so far is that since HLE isn't working in this latest release, that the bios isn't being loaded correctly.

Do you have scph1001.bin located in the same directory as zpsx? It's required for this release, since HLE isn't working.

I know Final Fantasy Tactics works with this release, as it's one of the games I test every release with.

Hmm... well, how about that? On a whim, I renamed my SCPH1001.bin to scph1001.bin, and it worked. The last version didn't seem to mind the caps in the name (or it dropped back to HLE without notifying me), but v.06 is now working for me. One more thing, the file browser doesn't seem to want to drop back past /home, so I have to make symlinks to all my games or run it from a directory on my microdrive. Anyone else have a similar problem? As always, keep up the great work!
