GP2PSX v0.09 Released

[olaf]

PDRoms reports that zodttd has updated GP2PSX. GP2PSX is a Playstation emulator for the GP2x. Below are portions of the release notes for this version.

 

I've updated GP2PSX to version 0.09. It's a fairly good update though, considering I've added a file menu of sorts, and a faster blitter.

 

Not to mention...Framerate indicator as well as frameskip options! Yay!

 

But wait...drumroll...there's MORE! That framerate indicator will now read 60 FPS on some titles!

 

********* GP2PSX RUNS SOME GAMES AT 45-60 FPS WITH ONLY 1 to 3 FRAMESKIP******

So to go into more detail:

1. File Menu - It's a little corny looking but it works. When GP2PSX loads, you will see a file menu to choose your game. It will only load.Z,.ZNX, and.BIN files. There's a small bug in it currently that makes it list the.table files without the.table extension. The.table file is always the second file of that name. Anyways, press the X button to choose your game.

2. Games run MUCH FASTER due to a bug I've been trying to track down now for ages. It caused the emu to go into a loop doing nothing constantly. This is why the emu went fast but seemed to only show a frame each second.

3. Better support for games - More games are starting to work, or at least begin to.

4. Framerate/Frameskip - Use the volume up/down to change the frameskip. Framerate will appear at the top left of the screen as well. Hope this helps. ;P

5. A faster screen blit / screen stretch - It seems some games I like to play use some of the odder of screen widths the PSX supports, so I kept the stretch function, but made a check to not use it if the screen fits the GP2X, duh.

Those were excerpts from the full release notes. You can find out more here, and obtain GP2PSX here.
