PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.1.1 (FOR 2.x FW !!)

http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/images/pspvba-snap-111.jpg

Hi All,

I didn't forget you, dear FW2.1+ gamers !!!!

Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP.

Taken the code of the version 1.2.2 (with media engine and not working ofr 2.1+ FW)
i've just finished to merge it with the old v1.1.0 version and here it is :

** THIS VERSION IS FOR 2.1+ FW PSP ! **

What's new in version 1.1.1 (compared to v1.1.0) :

- Improve sound (no more SDL stuff)
- GU access improvement (disable cache)
- Add option to enable/disable GBA battery/flash save
- Add new beautiful icons and background designed by Win-Win (Shadow) !
- New feature to save and load a distinct setting file for each games
- Add option to enable/disable the cache with the Graphical Unit
- Emulator menus reorganisation (new menu for settings)
- Rewrite some part of the Gfx code (faster)
- Bug fix and code cleaning

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

One binary version for 2.x FW and sources are included in the zip archive.

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

Enjoy, :D

Zx.

Nice going ZX, your always keeping it real. Are you currently working on any other projects? You by far have the best GBA emulator right now.

I've discover many hints while porting VBA to PSP, and i've many ideas now to improve my other emulator ports :). So i think i will first try to make a new version for each of them, with new features, more speed etc ... :)

Sorry for being the noob but I cant get this to work for me. I have version 2.6 firmware and I extracted the
fw2 file to the psp/games file and then copied all of my
.gba roms to the rom sub folder but when i go under the memory stick in the games section on my psp all i get is 2 corrupted data's. Am I doing any thing wrong any help is extremely appreciated. sorry to waste your time.

If you have 1.5FW take the v1.2.2

If you have +2.1FW take the v1.1.1

What's new in version 1.1.2 (compared to v1.1.1) :

- Rewrite partially the code of the graphic stuff
(many parts of the code weren't optimized at all !)
- Rewrite partially the code of the ARM emulator
- Review memory cache strategy
- Bug fix and code cleaning

thanks, in 1.1.1 though, no matter what settings i used, it would never go faster than 6fps (or slower) whether i use max render or normal, sfx on/off, frame skip or turbo, so i'll see if this is any better. also can you make new topics for updates, or update the topic header, since i almost missed this update ;)
