WOW!!!

I'm sad becouse I have to wait monday before I can back home and take my psx game...

I've been trying to download this, but the forums on www.dcemu.co.uk requires registration, so I registered and hours later I still haven't received the confirmation email. I was wondering whether anybody has downloaded it and could upload it to this forum? - if zodttd doesn't mind

Great news- can't wait to try this! I'm waiting for a cacko version or SRAM support in the OZ kernel + an OZ compile first though.

I've been reading the reports of people trying out this new beta on the GP2X, normally at 266Mhz, and most games seem to be running around 10fps so it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect double that (and more) on an OC'd cxxxx Z.

Zodttd: How much faster do you think you can make psx4all? Do you think theres a chance of 30fps under 3D games (without sound?) on the GP2X?

OMG! this is amazing, FF7 runs very nice! a lil slow, but very playable, man, this makes me wanting to go back and beat all those classic RPGs again...I think we should all get together, and make a compatbility list.

I tried Kula World ... does not work ... Game loaded succesfully then frozen. Will try FF7 when I get home

[Darth_Sith]

Zod you have made a great work!
I tried re2 and it's run very well (in many situation it's full speed).
Then I try gt, it runs, but gt is an extreme 3d game, so it run too slow, but see it on Z is very beautyful.

Very nice indeed, it's really amazing seeing this stuff running on the Z. So far I've tried Wipeout 2097, Castlevania, and Oddworld, unfortunately none work at a real playable speed, and there are some emulation glitches but nonetheless, very nice.

I notice in this thread you mention installing an sdl bvdd ipk, but I've not been able to find one for pdaxrom, maybe this is only for qtopia, but if there is such a thing that could accellerate psx4all on the CX000 series, would be nice to know.

Just a suggestion but how about including some frameskipping mode (if there isn't already) to maybe speed up the emulation at the cost of looks, I see no evidence of such a mode in the menu.

Great work, I hope life goes on with this project

FF7, Wipeout XL, and others *can* run full speed. But I had to do the following to get it there:
- I test on a Zaurus C1000 running at 624MHz and pdaXrom Beta 3 (2.4 kernel) with SDL 1.2.9 (bvdd enhanced)
1. Get and install the bvdd enhanced "SDL 1.2.9 armv5tel" ipkg at http://zaurus.vivaphp.net/pdaxrom/misc
2. Go into X11 by running "startx" and overclock as needed.
3. Exit X11 to the console and run ./psx4all

By doing this, you have full screen accelerated SDL graphics. The overclocking to 624MHz helped a lot too of course. My C1000 handles it well though.

There is no SDL 1.2.9 on that site [a href=\"http://zaurus.vivaphp.net/pdaxrom/misc]http://zaurus.vivaphp.net/pdaxrom/misc[/url]. Or at least I don't see it there.:-) There is only SDL-mixer with ogg support (compiled by me I think). Please attach this SDL_1.2.9 ipk to this thread. It will help ppl to run psx4zaurus.  

Great work zottd anyway!!! FF7 runs OK but sometimes slow when walking, without overclocking and bvdd SDL lib. Can you find out why Kula World (great logical game) does not work? I can send you .ZNX iso if you don't have this game.

Thnx.

where's my handbag

Actually I'm already using that SDL ipk, I questioned it because it says nothing of BVDD, are we to assume that 1.2.9 is the BVDD enhanced version?

I doubt that SDL in feed is compiled with bvdd funkcionality. I have this one installed on my Z. I just want to compare with zottd's.
