<BLOCKQUOTE>Howdy everyone, PacManFan here.
I've been hacking away for the past 2 days on the open source PCSX Playstation emulator, trying to get it to run on the PSP.
I've finally had a little success.
Here's a bad screen shot of a demo running.
Before anyone says anything about the pitch being off, I know, I'm still figuring it out.
Before anyone asks:
1) it runs at about 1fps in the emulator
2) No, I haven't put it on my PSP yet, I'm still at work.
3) No, I haven't tried Game XYZ on it yet.
4) No, there is No sound, No controls, No way to specify roms yet.
5) After a little cleanup, I'll make the code available
Here's a todo list:
1) Find some volunteers to work on this with me.
2) put in a microwindows rom selector
3) put in mapped controls
4) add sound
5) Code a new recompiler for the r4000 chipset, right now there is the x86 and sh4 chipset <- this is a big one!
6) optimize the H3ll out of this.
Comments? </BLOCKQUOTE>
and also this
<BLOCKQUOTE>I've got the byte pitch figured out, and I've put in a control handler to map buttons and the directional pad. I haven't put in the analog controls yet. I've verified that the program runs fine on a PSP, and I've got optimizations turned on.
For the demo, I get about 4-5 FPS </BLOCKQUOTE>
sounds interesting :)
