I finally released first part of my new Playstation emulator for Maemo. It's based on updated source of PSX4ALL by ZodTTD (http://www.zodttd.com/wp/about/) and incorporates Maemo specific backends written by me. It uses new PulseAudio (http://www.pulseaudio.org/) sound backend and HAA (http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/hildon/hildon-HildonAnimationActor.html) display scaling PSX native resolutions to 640x480 for N900 display (so it keeps correct aspect ratio).

The new concept for the emulator fully utilizes Maemo osso-games-startup (http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Using_Games_Start-up_Screen) frontend with standalone CLI psx4m worker binary.
And the first part of this combo is out: maemo.org - package overview for PSX4M (http://maemo.org/packages/view/psx4m/)
