Amiga emulator for the PSP

We have released a new version of PSPUAE (Amiga Emulator for PSP), changes / improvements are listed below.

 

Why the BE, simple, its exactly 1 year ago since pspuae.com started. So as to celebrate this fact, we decided to name it 0.63BE for Birthday Edition.

 

Also, with the recent memory increase. There will be some big states uploaded that were made for this version. 1 of the largest being 10.5 Megs.

 

V0.63 BE - FOL, GnoStiC, cmf update

 

- Removed alot of un-needed code, to gain usable memory (GnoStiC and cmf)

- Optimized code to gain speed (GnoStiC)

- Added alot of defines to gain speed (FOL and GnoStiC)

- Added define to allow 10.5MB of memory, not limited to 6MB anymore (FOL and cmf)

- Changed the delay and latency on sound to gain speed (FOL)

- Changed PSPUAE cpu cycle unit to 1, gave stable speed increase (FOL)

- Removed 0 from Auto Frame Skip, pointless as it slows emu down when hitting 0 (FOL)

- Removed Interpol code as it was broken since 0.60, removing this gave speed increase (GnoStiC)

- Fixed memory selection, now only valid amiga memory configs are selectable (cmf)

- Fixed Crash, where if no Backdrop was present PSPUAE would crash PSP (FOL and cmf)

- Fixed Interrupts setting in sound, as it was still produing sound (FOL and GnoStiC)

- Added AutoZoom check to PSPUAE reset command, so each reset will turn off AutoZoom. This stops the crash with certain configs, when AutoZoom was on. Simply Press and hold L & R Trigger and SELECT after reset to turn it back on (FOL)

- Removed support for E / X-Loader and Tiff exploits as it was causing crash in Custom Firmwares. A separate E / X-loader tiff version is released separately (FOL)

We just got a hands on with Nyko's Wii Party Station and we can safely say that it's crazy. Crazy awesome. It's got pretty much everything you want to have when you're having a Wii house party, and it's designed cheaply enough ($24.99) for every Wii-owning family to use as an accessory to enhance their gaming.

 

But the best part is, of course, the chip holder. Nyko told us that they were going to re-evaluate the design and increase the size (making it deeper and wider) to accommodate more chips. The amount in there is enough for one person, but as a party tray it's fairly under-stocked. But the idea is great.

 

There are LCD scoreboards (so you can keep track of which one of the four of you is winning), Wiimote holders, a drawer for Nunchucks, a fan (like the bowling alley) for sweaty gamers, four freezable soda cup holders (with built-in gels to maintain coldness), and a chip and dip holder for, obviously, chips and dip. We didn't eat any of their chips, because they were presumably sitting out all day getting poked at by sweaty journalists.

The current version's still just a prototype, but they plan to release a final version in the next couple months.
