Heh stuffman. I was away for the past week. Things are going well for psx4all (our codebase that zpsx is based on), but I will need the night to get situated. If you don't hear from me tommorow with an update on it's progress, please PM me as a reminder.

Go on zodttd!

Heh, thanks for the PMs.
I could release ZPSX (psx4z ? ) now, but it won't be where I'd like it to be.
More games seem to work, and the VSync timing is able to be changed during a game so it can get around some bugs in the timing. It can also speed games up that can handle quicker VSync's.

The ARM dynarec isn't performing as well as I'd like, and I haven't had much time to work on it lately. This is mostly because Unai, who does the GPU for psx4all, is very busy with work lately (as have I). He's been helping out with idea's for the dynarec. The biggest thing that needs to be fixed if I'm to use the dynarec in the next version is the save states and in-game menu's game selection, which don't work on the dynarec.

Basically, the core of ZPSX is solid, it's the trimmings that need to be dealt with.

Since there's only really 3 or 4 people really interested in ZPSX so it seems...would you mind using "beta" versions of ZPSX just to see progress? Normally releasing unfinished releases is a big issue because of the large number of bad feedback, but it doesn't seem like an issue here.

Whoo! Zodttd speaketh! Great!

Missing Save states is no showstopper for me but maybe I'll just have to wait a while longer if you can't load games yet with the dynarec- not even from a command prompt? I wouldn't be able to test any new version (for cacko?) for another month or so anyway as my dad is in France with his Z.

There's GOT to me more excitement in getting PSX games running full speed on a Z than crummy old 8086 games, surely? I suppose its because the DOS translator is fresh and new to you so its distracted you from the real gold which is zpsx (not to mention the slight dual distraction of work and life)

Have you had any luck with 320x240 SDL console under Cacko?

I'll be your personal BETATESTER.

Sure I won't bother you with stupid comments: I know what's a development release (I couldn't I know? I'm a pdaxrom user... ........ )

zodttd · « **Reply #81 on:** September 18, 2006, 04:10:34 pm »

Oh, the dynarec can load games just fine. It can't switch to a different game while running though. And savestates dont seem to work right, but sometimes they do.

I don't have much time to work on my various projects, but as soon as I can get a release out for ZPSX, I will.

I think that there are more people interested but everybody is just reading news about ZPSX, not posting anything.

A beta would be really nice!

I think 95% of the people of oesf want to see playstation game on their Z...

And I am one of them. Been watching this post for months, never thought my feedback was worthwhile BUT after reading this I had to. So keep at it, I know a lot of people appreciate the effort you are putting into this. I once TRIED to make a gameboy emulator and for me at the time it was a bitch. So i can only imagine the skill and effort you are putting into this. Good luck and thanks!

this is currently only for pdaXrom and OZ, correct? Or has it advanced to cacko/stock? I might be getting a Gp2x, havent decided yet.

Raul · « **Reply #86 on:** September 19, 2006, 09:33:48 am »

I'm the one who is interested but only reads the topic and waiting to play playstation games on Zaurus

zodttd · « **Reply #87 on:** September 19, 2006, 12:08:28 pm »

Cool to see more people posting! Thanks!
If you're deciding to get a GP2X for psx4all alone, I suggest waiting on that purchase until psx4gp2x matures some.

I plan on making 2.4 kernel builds for pdaXrom, cacko, and OZ. In that order.
If performance is decent on the 2.6 kernels, I'll get builds for pdaXrom and OZ. But since from what I'm aware of, they still lack BVDD modules for video acceleration. They have overlays but that doesn't help in my case.

Does anyone "need" ZPSX on a 2.6 kernel based OS ROM?

I think most of us are lurking waiting patiently for a good working release. The lack of posts here most likely does not mean the lack of interest!

ZPSX for 2.6 kernel wouldn't be so important right now... but as you can see sashz today has released a new version of pdaxrom. There is no changelog available right now, but maybe it is based on 2.6 and maybe there are some video improvements which are interesting for ZPSX.
