DreamChip V1.0 Alpha - Chip8 Emulator For PSP

[Zion]

Hi there guys :D

DreamChip is a chip8 emulator ported to the psp by me.

for anyone wondering what a chip8 is look here : CHIP8 wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP-8)

I bet some of you never thought this project would ever get as far as a release :)

I took the initiative to port a Chip8 emulator (unamed) made by TJA of emutalk to the psp.

It uses sdl for input, sound and gfx.

It runs at full speed (i think :p) and compatibility seems good too :)

I have included Some pd roms with the release, although as far as im aware all chip8 games are pd now.

I would like to say a special thanks to Hardhat, who taught me a hell of a lot of sdl and helped me with some stupid mistakes i was making a long the way :)

Due to my psp being briked i would like 1 beta tester for this emu, as i am sure input is working now but have being unable to test it myself.

Enjoy :)

Note : This emulator is currently hardcoded to play a rom named "ROM" in the /rom directionary.... to play another rom just rename it "ROM" and replace the current rom in the folder.

Source code will be released soon, very messy and a few things need changing before source is released.

Cheers

Sorry for the double post

Well it does load so thats ok but the controls dont seem to work and of course the screen is not centered, but considering your PSP doesnt work Zion its a pretty good attempt :)

Can't wait see it improve :)

Well I've never heard of a Chip8, but It's always good to have a new emulator on my mem stick. :)

I'll test this later.

Cheers Zion.

i didnt lol, i coded this without even being able to test it myself lol.

i have only seen a video of my emulator in action :rofl:

[DPyro]

Wow, I didn't expect this to get off the ground...

[Malksta]

I'm your tester, biyatch. ;)

Nice work man! Keep it up! :)

More emulators woo! The PSP is so freaking awesome. We can play almost any console in it. Thanks Zion.

[Briggzy11]

Well i did test it first :p well happy see it load at least :)

[Zion]

after looking over it some more, the only way the controls are going to work (at all? ) is by completly re-writing the input system...

to be honest i think its a fluke that imput even works on the pc version, its a hacky system to say the least....

im doing a bit more sdl research then im going to implement my idea for a clean and well managed control input system :D

[jak66]

testing different games that you provided in the dl, the only one controls worked on was connect4, but even so, it was only left/right movement

I must say you should keep this up, I've never seen a coder so active at one time. I have dug up my old copy of FFX so I'm addicted to it now, so no time for chit-chat now.

[Buddy4point0]

haha man this is nice. and not even being able to test it yourself damn thats nice

[Zion]

input is now working for certain roms, other roms use a different key check system so im going to have to redo the system that isnt working right .

then input will be flawless ;)

[scottyboynow]

Well, it will be even better , I hope that you get a PSP soon aswell, then it will be even better:P.

[mr_nick666]

Nice work Zion ;) It'll be pucker when you sort out the controls :D

[Sp3ct0r]

Nice job. but the chip-8 looks pretty primative so i dont think ill try it.

still nice work though
