CKEmu told me about this today or should I say yesterday (I've been slow lately ) and it's remarkable news. The screenshots are simply amazing and I recommend everyone to download the video!

Recent work on PCSX2, a Playstation 2 emulator, has allowed Guilty Gear Isuka to not only be fully playable, but at 'reasonable' speeds. By reasonable, I am talking about 15-25 FPS (apx half real speed) in battles, and 40-50 FPS in menus (practically full speed!).

 

Alot of this is thanks to Gabest's remarkable DirectX9 GPU plugin (GSdx), and continuing work on various aspects of PCSX2. Gabest's plugin was used to produce these shots, and the video below!

 

 

 

To demonstrate how 'accurate' PCSX2 is getting, I have produced a video showing from character selection to a full battle.The video is faster than actual emulated speeds.

Mr. Double has alerted us that a new version of DSemu has been released. These are the changes:

    * IPCSYNC register has been partially implemented. It works except for interrupt support. This allows the E3 commercial download demos to boot a bit further along. Unfortunately they don't actually run yet.

    * Extra logging added to CP15 functions to show where memory regions were assigned and with what protections.

    * Lots of ARM9 instruction fixes which allowed DSLinux to finally boot. It fails mounting the root partition but is much further along than previous versions.

    * Re-enabled some optimisations that were left disabled in 0.4.4.

    * Partial implementation of extended rotation backgrounds. Those demo's using mode 5 should start to work now. No support for scaling, rotating or shearing yet though.

    * Implemented scrolling for extended rotation backgrounds.

    * Added SWI 0xFF for debugging purposes. Calling this SWI with R0 set to a null terminated string will print that string to the log file. Modelled after the functionality in Dualis. Note that SWI 0xFF crashes on hardware.

He has also said that Space Invaders 0.2 now works, albiet slowly.
