Beta version release notes from his web site:
<div style="width:95%; margin: auto; margin-top: 1%; margin-bottom: 1%; padding: 2%; background-color:rgb(230,230,230); border: thin black solid"><ul><li>Fixed the issues with alpha 3.</li><li>I don't have time right now, so please see the sources below for what's changed.</li></ul>
readme.txt
list.txt
<u>Items that can not be fixed due to the implementation</u>
<ul><li>Sound plays, but sometimes does not syncronyze with the screen</li><li>The speed drops drastically when there is a lot of sprites being drawn</li></ul>
*I'm thinking that it looks like games along the lines of Waku Waku 7 are going as far as they can go when at the barely playable level. If only there was twice as much memory.</div>
From the readme:
<div style="width:95%; margin: auto; margin-top: 1%; margin-bottom: 1%; padding: 2%; background-color:rgb(230,230,230); border: thin black solid">NEOGEO Emulator for PSP beta
Caution:
<ul><li>This program sets your PSP to operate at 333MHz by default.
If you do not want to run your PSP at 333MHz, please don't use it.</li></ul>
<hr />beta What's Changed
<ul><li>Fixed a problem where many games would freeze. It was a basic mistake.</li><li>Made a few changes to the CPU timer processing. I'll bet that a portion of the games with sound that wouldn't play have been fixed.</li><li>Some slight fixes to the memory cache administration.</li></ul>
<hr />alpha 3 What's Changed
<ul><li>Changed the file loading methoud from determining by file name to determining by CRC. However, it's extremely nessecary that the zip file name be the same as the MAME file name. The database used for loading files is recorded in "rominfo.dat". There are games inluded in there that won't run, but absolutely please don't change it. There is a chance the program won't be able to launch.</li><li>Thanks to the above changes, it is now possible to launch the MAME clone set.</li><li>By using the Memory Stick as swappable memory, games which are on the slightly larger size can now be launched. You'll need to use the included converter to to convert the sprite data. For details, please read the readme.txt for the converter. However, this just means that it can launch them, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to play them smoothly. There probably are a few optomizations that I can make to speed them up, but as it's physically impossible, please think of the current speed as being the fastest it'll ever play at.</li><li>Added compatibility for encrypted ROM sets such as Nightmare in the dark. It is nessecary to convert them beforehand with the converter and create the cache data. (There isn't enough memory available to run KOF'99, etc...)</li><li>I've made it so that now it'll launch with any of the BIOS listed below.
<ul style="list-style:none"><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 1.0)</li><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 1.1)</li><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 1.2)</li><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 1.3)</li><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 2.0)</li><li>Unibios MVS (Hack, Ver. 2.1)</li><li>Debug MVS (Hack?)</li><li>Asia AES</li><li>(In some cases they will not display in the menu if you don't have them)</li></ul>You can get the Universal BIOS from the Universal BIOS page.
The official UNIVERSE BIOS homepage <a href="http://unibios.free.fr/index.html" target="_blank">http://unibios.free.fr/index.html</a>
With the Debug BIOS, even when you change the dip switches, test mode can not be launched, so please keep this in mind</li><li>I've updated the compatibility list. (I might have missed some)
When using the eLoader, the usable memory decreases by about 2MB, so it's possible that some of the games on this list might not run.</li><li>Simplified the user interface, and made it so that as much usable memory as possible is available.</li></ul>

Other
<ul><li>Currently, a memory card file is created for each game. Also, currently the memory card is always recognized. It's a half-arsed solution.</li></ul></div>
From list.txt:
<div style="width:95%; margin: auto; margin-top: 1%; margin-bottom: 1%; padding: 2%; background-color:rgb(230,230,230); border: thin black solid">Compatibility List - alpha 3
This is a list of games that I determined can be launched based on their file sizes. As for games that can't be launched, it would be impossible to support them at present and in the future, so please keep this in mind.
(Even in the event that I could get them to run, they wouldn't be able to run at a speed much faster than one frame every few seconds.)
Also, when using eLoader, since the available memory decreases by about 2MB, it is possible that games which are listed here as compatible may not actually launch on your system.
