I know ) But even now (but with CPU running at 624MHz) I can get more then 15fps (actualy 12-19)... In previous version of zpsx I could get around 5 with BVDD...

This is *godly*. I tried the 035 release last night on my C860 with FF7 and got nowhere, but this one is actually running it at almost full speed, hardware accel or no!

I'm getting segfaults, 3d corruption and the progressive interlace seems to get confused and turn itself off pretty easily... but who cares, I still can't believe how amazing this already is.

Whoah!

Congratulations ZodTTD, Unai and the zpsx crew. I've been a consistent poster on this thread but I didn't have the chance to actually see the emu until today as my friend only had a small SD for his GP2X but my Z has a decent sized CF big enough for PSX images. As you can imagine, I was much more interested in seeing it on the 3x more powerful C3000 than on the GP2X. I was forced into reflashing my Z when the Cacko calendar stopped functioning and no-one could provide a fix. Perfect time to try the latest pdaXrom beta for the C3000.

I happy to say I just saw Strider 2 running almost full speed but with no sound and a very flickery display on my C3000! VERY promising! What an amazing program! I quit out of it before even completing the first level so I could read the docs to find out how to change display options, relaunched the prog and it crashed so had to do a hard reset. now i can't even log in, but this probably has nothing to do with zpsx at all- its me trying to get ssh working on my Z

When I get to the login prompt, I type root but then it says

login: no valid shadow password

I had put a root password onto my Z today, trying to log-in to it so that is probably something to do with it.

Re-installed pdaXrom to give Strider 2 another go. I get a perfect image and an average of 20fps under Strider 2 on a C3000 @ 624Mhz with the latest version when I have progressive off and interlacing at 0!!! Amazing!  

R-Type Delta doesn't load yet unfortunately

You quit by pushing backspace if you're wondering (put it in docs please ZodTTD)

lol... Thanks for that, I was resorting to randomly mashing the keyboard to quit.

Final fantasy 7 runs faster now, but its now full of glitches. In the old version it was perfect - just very slow. Now its almost fast enough to play (without overclocking - as I couldnt seem to get overclocking working on 1.1.0beta3), but the glitches make it unplayable. Some of the sprites in game are not transparent like they should be. Also its reading some textures from the wrong area of memory it seems, since I am seeing part of the font textures in some unusual places (like the boarder of the dialogues). When I got to the first save point and pressed triangle, it immediately did a segmentation fault.

Tony hawks didnt load, crash bandicoot 2 didnt load, raiden was too slow. Thats all I've tried so far, because when a game doesnt load I have to reboot to try another.

It's a step back in some areas, but It's definitely faster in FF7. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep my dream of some day playing final fantasy 7 wherever I go .

Just tested Road Rash (Regular) it almost works. The video is choppy because of the FF7 I think? I think it would be playable if the video was showing correctly. The speed increases ROCK! I love that you can set CPU of PSX Emulator that really helps out on some games  Regular RoadRash I think needs about 220mghz or less since it;'s not really graphic intensive as say Road Rash Jailbreak. Which is my favorite racing game of all time! Road Rash Jail Break is still stuck in the beginning where the letters appear before the game starts.

- Crash Bandicoot 2 - The Wrath of Cortex- Works very well, I think it would be playable once the FF7 is fixed. Because I actually almost finished a stage hehe
-Jet Moto 2- Still crashed with SDL thing when selecting rider.
-Tekken2- Has always been problamatic when fighting. The characters image blows up, head, body,etc.. Doesn't show correctly.
 
Awesome work! The improvement of the speed is amazing! I hope you get another release soon because I am going out of the country, it would be great if I could do a little gaming there

A misunderstanding of what I said I think. FF7 = Final fantasy 7.. a game , from you use of the word FF7 you seem to think its some sort of part of the PSX or emulator?

Also, crash bandicoot 2 works? I couldn't get it to load, it just froze my Zaurus. Did you do anything special to run it?

Oh really? Hmm, I just loaded it into the same dir as the emu and it loaded just fine.
Make sure you created image correctly, that's usually the problem

I bet once the video problem is fixed Crash Bandicoot 2 Wrath of the Cortex will be very playabe game. I like the crash series games, they are graphical and fun

Feel so stupid thinking FF7 was some kind of optimization

|pats reassuringly|

It's alright, I've done worse.

I'm also up for an OZGPE port, because there's no PDAX for the 5600, and the 2.6 kernel might (Although I doubt it, given the other limiting factors of the 5600) make the system run fast enough to run zPSX. I'm happy to give it a try, since I'd like FF7 on the go aswell. XD

Hmm. .  Have to buy a PSX copy first, I only have it on PC. . .

Edit:

Hey Flexi, you ever play the game as Sephiroth? Hella fun. XD

Unless he used a cheating device, as Sephiroth is a character avalible in the Nibelheim flashback. Although he is AI controlled, but that could probably be fixed in a similar manner.

Yep, I did this with a cheat cartridge years ago. Good old action replay.
