    FluBBa posted this news of his wip work of a MSX emu for the GBA:

    I've fixed preliminary sound and joystick input, hopefully I can make a correct AY38910 emulator that doesn't use too much cpu. I will also implement the most common mappers so we can play the Nemesis and Parodius games.

    PSMonkey has released the first version of his Nintendo 64 Emulator for the PSP, this release has support somewhat for the Commercial game Mortal Kombat Trillogy and whilst it wont play most of the Nintendo 64 Library it is a big step in the right direction, heres the news from his site:

    The Emulator also works on any version from v1.0 to v2.6 from reports





    Well sorry I am late but here is the much promissed first release of monkey64. I was hopping for better at the last min but it still passed my exspectations for a first build.

    Few things to note.

    .) While Rsp & Rdp emulation is started it is far from complete. As well there are still numerious issues in the main cpu core. I plan to fix things as soon as I can get to them.
    .) This wont run mario64 or 99% of the n64 library. Some roms are starting to do things with Mortal Kombat Trillogy actualy being playable (to some extent).
    .) I know there are odd looking color squares when running some comercial roms (like mortal kombat). The reason is because I have not completed texture suport in rdp. I am hoping to get a revision out asap once this is fixed.
    .) The emulator is slow. Some PD roms do a pretty nice framerate but games like mortal kombat do about 5fps. This is due to the emulator still being on a pure interpreter core. In good time I will build a dynamic recompiler so we can get some more playable framerates.
    .) The app is in user mode. So it is quite posible this works on 2.0+ psp units. I just sadly dont have the time to check.

    Well that is it. Do enjoy. The zip contains a few favorite PD roms. Pong by Oman is a must play imo. Also if you're all currious what mortal kombat trillogy looks like in game. Please see attached screenshot on forums.

    PS. Mortal Kombat Trillogy [!] dump wont work. [b1] dump runs just fine. When you see the second screen, press start as it's just warning you that there is only 1 controller plugged in.

    -- EDIT --
    Hey guys. Sorry I forgot to mention. The screen flickering is because its not doing double buffering on the psp. It's just directly rendering to the display screen. I was trying to fix this at lunch but ran into problems so I gave up since I wanted to push the build out asap. I'll have it fixed for the v1.1 build.


    Download it for yourself at PSMonkeys Site

    Lets start trying every N64 game and post if any works on this first release

    So far these games do something:

    Wave Race 64 (J) [!] - Displays N64 Logo then crashes back to menu.
    Mortal Kombat Trilogy (U) (V1.0) [b1] - Displays menus - no graphics yet.
    Doom 64 (U) [!] - Displays menus - no graphics yet.

    The PSP Rhythm have released a new version of their Software for the PSP, heres the full info if you have never heard of it before:

    Inspired by classic drum machines such as the Linndrum and Roland TR-series, PSP Rhythm has been created to use the simple, yet effective 16 step style drum sequencer. PSP Rhythm incorporates the use of audio sample playback instead of drum synthesis. PSP Rhythm has been directly influenced by one of our favorite modern drum machines, the Elektron MachineDrum.

    The most significant addition in version 3.0 is the "parameter locks" feature (as used by the MachineDrum). Parameter locks enable you to change the pitch, volume, balance, start and end times per step to create moving, changing melodies and effects. This control over your sounds will give you much more creative freedom and allow you to not only use drums, but to use instruments in your music.

    With the release of version 4.0 a Bass Line synthesizer similar to a Roland TB-303 has been added to make this the most versatile homebrew drum machine for the PSP. TB-303 style features such as Accent and Slide are available, along with the real-time control of the Cutoff and Resonance you can get that authentic "Acid" sound that made the TB-303 so famous.

    The PSP screen is a graphic representation of a 16 step drum machine styled in Elektron fashion with a main display in the center and 16 buttons along the bottom. Each button has an LED light above and a step number below.

    Meridimus posted a new Lua Release:

    Hi Peeps,

    This is a Lua application with a difference. The navigation is clean and different to all the stuff I've otherwise seen recently.

    It's a remote and local file browser that remembers the position of each place locally and remotely. Wireless functionality is still incomplete, for now you can navigate your local folders and delete files, check battery etc. Check it out!

    In my opinion, even in its current stage of development it's a great replacement to lowser.

    Please note, when in USB mode all functions are disabled, you must exit USB mode before proceeding to use Remo.

    Oh, and REMO stands for REMOTE. But just looks better (in my opinion).

    Controls:

    * Left trigger, displays Local files (L for Local...)
    * Right trigger, displays Remote files (R for Remote...)
    * Cross, Up Directory or Escape delete
    * Circle, Select folder, run application or Confirm delete
    * Square, USB Mode
    * Start, if replacing Lowser it's "Reboot" Remo, otherwise quit application
    * Select, sort files ASCENDING to DESCENDING and back again

    Known Bugs:

    * When browsing empty folders Lua crashes for some reason
    * USB mode doesn't stop when exiting an internally loaded application
    * Remote folder overuns selectable list
    * Deleting the last file in a folder causes crash (reference to bug 1)
    * Cannot delete a folder that contains files (should be simple to sort out, create a loop that traverses through the directory and deletes files. Will cause problem 1 to occur again!)
    * Without a battery in the PSP the percentage result is incorrect

    To Do:

    * Fix crash where no files in a folder (might be a Lua player problem...)
    * Allow wireless connection to be implemented
    * Allow remote navigation
    * Allow remote file transfer
    * Allow copy and paste, locally at least.
    * Allow folder creation (needs keyboard input, could implement existing app).
    * Better theme support
    * Clean up code

    Install:

    Copy into your PSP/Games/Luaplayer/Applications folder

    Requires Lua 0.16
