PsPectrum v0.1 (Spectrum Emulator for PSP)

Ryosaebaa has emailed me some fantastic news of the first release of his Spectrum emulator for the PSP, heres the email:

Hi , Ryosaebaa from Spain here ;)

It's being some hard and paintfull months :P, but we have first version here of this
48/128k speccy emulator.

The emulator is far from perfect, but it runs really well.

We will add new features in near future like image streaching, 128k sound. etc...

Below you have an URL where you can download, post, and talk about the emulator. Feel
free to post bugs, and opinions.

We´re looking forward to hearing from your!.

Fantastic!!!!!

Yes, that's really cool.

Even the author says it was for fun, I am really wondering they wanted to write it from scratch :).

well more diversity means more choice. It will just take them a lot of time to get to the level of other ZX emu probably...

I didnt check if they released their code or not.
I hope so.

You've listed all my favourite games :D


10 let a=20:let b=10:let z=1:x=1:i=1
20 print at a,b;" =A= "
25 print at z,x;" (o) "
30 let x=x+i
35 if x>27 or x<1 then i=-i:let z=z+1
40 let b=b+(inkey$="8")-(inkey$="5") <<< i forget is that wrong :D
45 if inkey$="0" and fire=0 then let fire=1:let o=a:p=b
50 if fire=1 then print at o,p;"!":print at o+1,p;" ":let o=o-1:if o<1 then let fire=0
100 goto 20

if only i could master c++ :)

ok copied pspectrum to my stick as follows:

PSP/GAME/PsPectrum

and

PSP/GAME/PsPectrum%

I've put a folder called "GAMES" with one game in it called "SKOOLDA.Z80"

when I run the emulator and press any key as it says the screen goes black the memory stick flashes, but then the PSP shuts down?

MY PSP is a Jap 1.50 and I can run a version of Snes on it so I know emulation works, although a previous Snes emulator had the same problem.

Any clues, please help one of the reasons I bought a PSP was to play a spectrum on the train to work
:)

Cheers
