GBA - Brunni`s GBA Emulator

[wraggster]

Brunni (http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php/topic,1879.0.html) has released a GBA Emulator of Sorts for the PSP, heres what he posted:

There is another project I began, just to show the PSP's power (and OSLib).
Basically, it would be a GBA emulator, but it's not really one for now as it doesn't emulates the CPU yet (so you cannot run another ROM than mine for now, which is recompiled, and writes into emulator registers, and emulated through a separate process), but just basic GBA hardware, and GPU is far from being complete (the 4 BGs and their modes are displayed, basic sprite support without rotation & alpha blending, no HBLANK interrupts) and sound hardware is not emulated. The GBA display processor is emulated fully using the PSP hardware.

This is not a port of an existing emulator, I wrote all myself (it's why it takes lot of time and is far from being complete, but runs at a good speed for now).
So, this is a challenge, maybe it will give nothing at the end, but it shows what we can do with oslib ^^
Controls: cross, circle, joypad.

Very Curious Release, and one that you should try and comment on :), Basically its a Single Game GBA Emu for the PSP

[bizarre]

Brunni rules, man, you rules, when i see the oslib demostrations i cant wait to see the first games.
Seriously man, you rules

[O-bake]

Really interesting.
Great to see that Brunni is writing it from scratch, customized for the PSP and not doing a "simple" port.

Good luck with this project!

[Sterist]

cant wait for full speed gba

[wraggster]

anyone got a screen of this working, im too busy to try it at mo

[bullhead]

This has promise, great job. Your lucky you have fingers

[Voltron]

Any effort to bring GBA emulation to the PSP is very much appreciated. And the fact that this is being written from scratch is commendable.

Good job Brunni!

[aries2k4]

Ya, keep at it mate. Good work!

[felonyr301]

from scratch wow good luck with this man wishing you luck..

[shadowhawk22]

Yippy!!!! A GBA emulator on the PSP is my personal dream for homebrew. I know there have been a few in the past, but slow speeds and no sound really damper my enthusiasm. I really feel like your emulator has some potential. I hope that you can get it working with some commercial roms at full speed and sound. Thanks so much for all your hard work! keep it up man!

Cheers,
hawk

It's good to hear that someone is taking on this challange again. I figured the GBA emulator to be as good as dead.

From what I've read, mind you I know nothing about programming, this project is only possible through a highly optimized dynamic recompiler, so it sounds like you've got your work cut out for you.

Nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck and hope you continue working on this. :D

[chrisrulz555]

I cant say how happy I am to see someone working on the gba emulator, This is a great day thank you for your hard work and im sure we all hope to see this getting better in the future.

[LAMPRO]

This needs to happen, in a fully working release.. amazing B, amazing.. keep it up!!.

[.:PSP1.0:.]

Thanks Brunni! Keep up the good work! ;)

[pkmusicmaker]

when a gba emulator is finally completed for the psp, i'll be able to have no regrets of never buying a gba in the first place, lol. keep this up, i hope it works out for you.

[titch.ryan]

hopefully will turn out to be a great gba emu. full sound would be amazing as im at the moment using PSPGBA 1.1 which is great but no sound and speeds are a tad slow :( keep up the good work hope it turns out to be amazing!

[ziu]

I wondered why nobody coded a gba emu on the scratch or continue working on
the existing emus because of the fact that theres a guy who is coding a n64 emulator.
continue the good work and good luck, cant wait to play gba on my psp!
thank you :)

[looop]

Is this emulator based on one game, I mean, is this just for one game? And it isn't only sonic eh? Will test it soon, good job, I think. :p

[Mew]

emu and rom works perfect!
full speed!!!

[Timale-Kun]

So Amazing dude!!! French people is already aware about your work as well as your OSLib Right Here (http://www.pspshock.com/index.php?2006/03/22/638-brunni-s-gba-emulator-en-quelque-sorte-pour-psp), taking a GBA Emulator as a project to do will include some pressure lol!!from some guys but don't care of them. work as u wish and hoping it will lead to something great!!! once again Thanks and keep up the good work

[chopper]

sounds great but i hope he is commited to it otherwise we'll end up with another half finished gba emulator to add to the list

[-ET-]

If anything I just hope he can fix the sound

[Raekwik11]

I respect you for making such a thing from scratch. It must be one of the hardest things to create and us being able to use it for free. I thank you for your work.

[Lodis]

If you commit to this project, expect some donations. I am not excited about this simply because I have seen many half finished projects, particularly GBA emulators.

[omniosiris]

this could be great...a good GBA emu is on the very top of my "stuff I want on my PSP" list

[a_nirvana_fan]

Wow, the game actually runs like a dream....but please be commited and finish the emulator off because its shaping upto be the best GBA emulator to date. Good work.

[KeepsieBlue]

hope its goes fast i just hope u get it up and going alright

[sroon]

Looks like it will be awsome. great work!

[Timale-Kun]

Up this Thread^^ Is anybody have news about this project? or it was only a shot^^

[Lodis]

Maybe this is just another half finished GBA emu to add to the list. I won't hold my breath.

[wolfpack]

i agree, lately theres been absolutely no updates on any of the GBA emulators... ive tried these emulators, frankly i think theyre good work but it needs to stay in progress and not get abandoned. But we can only hope there is some work being done.

[Mourningstar]

I think its a damn shame that there no good working GBA emu for PSP yet.......hell, if SNES, PSX and N64 can be dont then there is absolutely no reason to not have a working GBA emu at around 75% with sound.....

I just wish someone would put some real effort into it. :(

[bug]

awesome, runs at excellent speed, i hope this will become a FULL GBA emulator, not another half-finished one like the others, not to discourage you. keep up the great work!

[pkmaximum]

I honestly want to see a finished game boy advanced emu too or one that is at playable speed, I'm sick of what happens every time someone picks up this project. Like PSmonkey this is no easy port, it will take time and this emulator should be built from the ground up.

[DaGamer]

yo man! wow! you are one brave and smart man! i wish u the best luck! and keep up the good work! writing program from scratch usually are better than ports so i hope u make this well!!! goodluck!

[taiyoh]

Hope you have luck with this project Brunni.And remember don't give up no matter how challenging it is...I'm cheering for you :D :D :D :D
:rolleyes: Full GBA emulation would be soooooo awesome :D

[MegaManNetRonin]

What the hell?

I played this like months ago.....
When I first "discovered" homebrew....

And then I correctly discovered it.

[acn010]

its nice and all, but atrangely this hasn't been updated, abandoned and not fully complete, im a little down now :(

[Elsid]

Nice one dude.

[vettacossx]

1 :confused: when can we expect to see commercial games have you set a date or a goal???

2 :confused: is the source released on source forge for others to pick up where you left off IF you dont have plans to finish this project?

thanx in advance;)
VettaCossX:D

[shenske37]
