"The early version was discussed here (it's based on the display capture/dual pass demos discussed there):

http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7958

But as I've just uploaded an updated demo - which looks nicer and now runs at 60fps (although it's still C, and there's a few optimizations left) - I thought it deserved a thread of its own...

The demo (with source) is here: www.bluescrn.net/dsbloom.zip (It's still based on those previous examples, and using the ship model/rendering code from them)

And my hopeless attempt to take a screenshot: www.bluescrn.net/dsbloom.jpg

Anyone else got interesting ideas for postprocessing a capture of the 3D? - already suggested was antialiasing - you could do supersampled 2xAA at 30fps by rendering a buffer twice the size of the screen in 2 passes, then resampling it down with the CPU.

I suppose the capture system could be used for very constrained render-to-texture effects (shadows/reflection maps?) But in practice it would probably be better to have a software renderer for those things, to avoid the huge VRAM/framerate costs that could be involved?" ...

* Multilanguage (Spanish and English, collaborations for other languages are appreciated)
* Better docs, including more examples (GNUBoy2x, Neopop, Vice, GNUBoy) and skin examples

DWedit has updated Flubbas Goomba emulator (which is a Gameboy and Now Gameboy Colour emulator for the GB Micro/GBA and also works on Nintendo DS and Gamecube Gameboy Player, heres the info:



Here it is, year early possibly-buggy alpha version of Goomba Color. Savestates are broken. Mario Golf works great!

Double Speed mode was added, then removed because Double Speed means Double CPU Use, and ran At Half Speed for most games. Then there' S Pokemon Card Game, which runs normal At speed only when Double Speed is mode one. I regret to inform you of significant year casualty of the race for excellence. Super Mario Land has been mutulated beyond belief, and is No to skirt playable. * plays TAPS, bows head downwards * Sorry Chishm, Conker' S Pocket Tails is not yet supported.

More info of whats new:

Changed memory system to support bankswitching to 4k resolution
Identifies to game as a Gameboy Color
Added VRAM bankswitching
Added RAM bankswitching
Added partial HDMA
Added extended attributes per tile and sprite
Added background colors
Added sprite colors
Rearranged tilemaps in vram
Removed support for borders
Added Raster effects for Window layer
Moved to 4-layer drawing system
Draws solid background tiles below the layers to allow color 0 to be visible
Replaces one layer with the GUI when necessary
Added Double Speed mode, but it's disabled now

Heres some fantastic news thats come from nowhere



PeterM one of our new forum members has posted this fantastic news in this Forum Thread:

Hello,

I am happy to release the first version of my port of Quake to the PSP. Hopefully some people will enjoy it.

Here is the readme:

Quake for PSP
=============

Peter Mackay
5th Jan 2006

Introduction
------------

This is a port of id Software's Quake to the PSP. There's already an excellent port out there by PacManFan, but I wanted to code something for the PSP and it was a good project. I also wanted to port from the original id source, instead of the PocketQuake source.

Features
--------

The following is working fine:
- Software rendering.
- Sound.

Things missing:
- WLAN support for network play. Nobody I know has a PSP, so I can't implement this.
- Hardware rendering. I have no PSP GU experience, so it'll take a while to do.

Installation
------------

This game is for PSPs with firmware versions 1.0 or 1.5. To get it running on other versions, you will need to up/downgrade your firmware appropriately. Unfortunately I don't have a v1.0 PSP, so I can only hope that it works on that version of the firmware.

It almost definitely won't work with a v2.00 EBOOT loader.

Installation instructions:
1. READ THE CONTROLS SECTION BELOW.
2. Firmware v1.0 users:
Copy the Quake folder from the 1.0 folder to the PSP/GAME folder on your PSP.
Firmware v1.5 users:
Copy the Quake and Quake% folders from the 1.5 folder to the PSP/GAME folder on your PSP.
3. Download the shareware version of Quake for the PC from here:
http://www.idsoftware.com/games/qua...me_section=demo
4. Copy PC Quake's ID1 folder to your PSP/GAME/Quake folder.

Support
-------

I don't intend to provide personal email support for this game. I believe that I'd get a lot of useless mail if I were to publish my email address for this purpose. If you can't get Quake running, try posting on a related PSP forum and hopefully someone can help you.

Known bugs:
- Fast key taps may go unnoticed when the frame rate is low. This is because I'm not sure how to get buffered input on the PSP. Does the PSPSDK support it?

If you've found a bug in the code, please post about it. I will probably read it and fix the bug if I can.


Thanks
------

Big thanks go out to:
- All the great guys on the PS2Dev forum for all your hard work on the PSPSDK, and your helpful replies on the forum.
- id Software, for supporting the game porting community by making their game sources GPL.
- Hazel, for putting up with the complete lack of attention from me while I was working on this.

Thanks to PeterM for a great release for the PSP Scene, download and leave feedback at the release thread in our submit news forum here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=16503 ...

Rising Star Games has released the first details of Bubble Bobble Evolution, the spanky new PSP version of the old days classic.

The original gameplay has been expanded "into entirely new realms", apparently, and there are all kinds of innovative features - you can expect new bubble types, obstacles and hazards, for starters.

But most significantly, the level structure of the game has changed. Instead you will see three screens on a central "spindle" and you'll be able to jump between them whenever you like.

There's still plenty of bubble popping and monster bopping to be done, but you can expect new puzzly bits - apparently you'll face a "cerebral challenge" in each level. These might involve finding a way to melt an ice barrier with fire, for example, or watering a seed so that a plant will grow to bridge a grap.

"We wanted to bring something new to Bubble Bobble beyond a straightforward 3D update. With the PSP, we have its raw power and we've channeled that into creating a deeper, more complex take on the Bubble Bobble concept," said producer Tony Byus.

"This isn't Bubble Bobble as fans of the series are used to. This is an entirely new game and with these puzzle elements included, it is literally an evolution of the original game design concept."

Bubble Bobble Evolution is due out in February - we'll bring you more details ...
