The long over due project update post

[PSmonkey]

Yep, Its the long over due project update post. Sadly this one is chalk full of bad news. Sadly I did not wish to post this to see it flooded on a bunch of news sites but too many are asking whats up. So better to fill everybody in.

Erm, Well its not dead yet. Last weekend I spent 3 days reporting the pc core to psp again and trying to improve where I botched things. I also added afew things that improve performance some. I would have posted the release already but I am kind of dragging my feet in getting a brand new gui coded. Sorry about that.

Anyways the next build 1.4 will probably be my last major build for this project. While there still wont be audio, I have recoded everything clean enough for someone to easly continue on with it. Hopefuly someone will. I might do a few small revisions to fix issues but nothing major.

This one is not dead either. So for the love of god please stop saying I quit. I've slowed down alot since I dont see a reason to rush & burn my self specialy with deadalus around. So I am now more just researching and doing test to see what I can do to improve or change n64 emulation. So far i've got a few fps boost by converting more to run in 32bit vs 64bit. I'm also trying to see if I cant get a performance boost out of the cop1. I'm also trying to get my hands on a 64DD unit to do some research (currently debuging the ipl4rom and now need a unit to probe the registers).

So while there wont be a update in near future. It's still moving along in development.

- Iris -
Iris is on extensive hold for the time being. I really need a new engine since iris is a dirty hack of my old bspviewer. So no new iris for the summer. Sorry.

- Beat-em Up -
The beat-em up I anounced a while back is in the same state as iris. I need a new engine before I attempt to go anywhere with this. So it too is on hold.

- Oh snap? -
I wont give out details but me & a good friend are working on a solid compo entry for the up and comming competition. Lets just say if this does not impress anybody for homebrew, nothing ever will!! Fyi, its a new FPS game.
