PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.2.3 (>5% faster)

http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/images/pspvba-snap-123.jpg

Hi All,

Who said i give up ? I never give up when i got ideas to make things going better :).

Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP,
which is a bit faster (up to 6% on v-rally 3) compared to v1.2.2 !

* This version doesn't work for +2.0 FW ! *

What's new in version 1.2.3 :

- Rewrite critical parts of graphic emulation source code
- Rewrite critical parts of the ARM emulator to make it going faster
- Review memory cache strategy
- Bug fix and code cleaning

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

One binary version for 1.5 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.

awesome, 3 updates all on the main news page, this has gotta be a first. I just finished reading the thread on your last update, i go back to the main page, refresh and boom another update. I would'nt be suprised if $ony tried to pay you off to stop helping the homebrew scene lol.

does the fact that this emu is a port hold it back at all, would a new emu built from scratch have better speeds? I suppose with all the work you've done 'forgotten' wouldn't even recognise the code from the original.

thanks for all the hard work, you've gone above and beyond the call of duty again, expect a medal in the post lol

well, the speed up is definately noticeable.

Still not worth it to average gamers but VERY interesting improvement to emulation addicts.

Thank you for not giving up on what would make the psp the best system to date.

Great stuff. I wonder what else can be done to speed it up (besides making a dynamic recompiler)...

What is the game on the front page?

Hi all,

Just wondering what the game is the screenshot is taken from on the news page - looks like a Warsong / Langrisser style RPG strategy game (ie right up my sad street!). If anyone knows, could you tell me?

ZX - You're an inspiration!

@all: thx

@pspfan: i think we can still win few % by rewritting critical part of the gfx and cpu emulation code ...

Say ZX will it be possible in future releases to load bigger roms? like 32mb (I want to play Riviera:))?
I know you're probably trying to solve bigger issues but what about sound?
