From what I can understand, these are videos of an early PSXP alpha version, running two different PD (Public Domain) roms. Between the two videos PSXP runs from 29-59FPS. Also, it is not optimised quite yet to take full advantage of the PSP. I'm not sure what he's saying in the videos, so if someone can speak french could you please translate this for us. :)

I was just about to post how excited I was for the videos to come out and Sniper beat me to and surprised me with the videos themselves. Thanks a lot.
Edit: However I must add that I am a bit dissapointed that they didn't even give us a glimpse of what normal games would look like. Just give us an idea of how fast Gran Turismo runs. :)
Give It To Us!!!
I think they might be afraid of Sony LoL.
When is the release?
so the guy on psp-generation has a test version they sent him lucky bastrd
This looks very real. I mean if were showing a popular game running full speed with sound I wouldn't believe it.
To bad I don´t know French. Just wondering what the guy is talking about. Just about the only word I picked up was "Voila", lol.
Hello, The guy do not say a lot. just than he release does video as proof of concept. he show 2 psx homebrew demo.
(the first one is a port of a amiga demo to the psx, the other an homebrew game).
he say they release th emulator later when it be finished...no date or anything...
well if this is true i'm going to be happy as hell.
this popped up out of nowhere
so there will suposedly be two new homebrew ps1 emus out soon.
This is final proof, there shouldnt be any disbeleivers now, but then again some people are never satisfied ..... im happy, this is another blow to sony, i wonder if it will piss them off enough to try and stop them, oh well, i cant wait for a public release.
I m not sure what you mean? :) maybe my bad english confused you...Quote:

He do not no say if it run only PDrom
just than there is more work to do before it s finish. My guest is, commercial game do not run full speed yet. notice the demo do not display 3d...
still it seem pretty cool :)
10shu no it was not your english i am refering to a different post which i believe is a roumor mill time sniper said it was from well known coders and it claimed 50 fps with sound and wifi.
well this one looks promising too, I wonder wheter or not they have a homepage..
The guy on the video was speaking french, he said the demo were old psx homebrew games and he don't know when a public release will be out
Video one
The guys explain that the team sent him a mail with the emulator attached saying "here is what we do, are you interessted?"
then he explain that the bundle contained two PSX homebrew game.
The first one is a port of an amiga game on psx called Elite.
Then he said that it's only a proof of concept and he try to zoom on the upper corner to show the FPS.
Video two
he boot the other game called wargate which is another psx homebrew game and show the fps
he said 30, just like it's needed :)
then before closing and uploading these video,
he said "now we need to wait until their release and hoping that the schedule is respected as promised"
Forgive me if it's not the perfect translation. It's not that i don't understand french, it's my english that ain't so bright :)
After seeing that, I think it's the real deal. Question is, will it ever reach a playable level with commercial games? I hope so. MUCH THANKS to the team working on this. This is a milestone in PSP homebrew development.
Why don't they release a Proof of Concept showing all those other popular games-like Spyro or something.To be honest I don't know anything about those 2 games they're showing. :P
Exact translation (this isn't Google, I did it lol):
Video1:
The file I recieved said, here, we're doing this thing, are you interested?
So here we have two little demos, simply put.
:when he pulls out the UMD, he says:
Sorry, it's the "X", it's a habit.
Ok, so here you see an Elite demo, which was actually a demo for "amiga", which was ported on the PSX.
There was already homebrew at the time.
So here we have a little technique demonstration, but what's really interesting is the little corner in the top left.
We're not going to do a zoom, we're going to get closer, and then we're going to do a little zoom.
To try to have the number of frames, oops, per second that this demo (that was originally on the PSX) gives on this emulator.
Now we're going to cut (turn off), for a couple of instances (short period of time in french), enough time to reset all of this to launch the second demo that was given with this.... (he cuts off, but hes about to say emulator)
i want to see comercial games
Video 2:
So we try this emulator once again.
It's off. (launching)
We're giving you another small "proof of concept".
Ok.
So this time we're going to go on....(pause)...ok.
On "Warp Gate", which was a, uh, homebrew too on the, the PSX.
We're going to try to look at the number of frames per second.
This time, we're almost at 30 fps, exactly like it should be.
A little demonstration.
Fast. (hes talking about the demonstration)
A little ship, nothing extraordinary.
Just a proof of concept, just like what we told you.
Now, we're going to have to wait a little bit more so that (says some name I can't understand?) finishes this emulator.
And, we hope, in the times he gave.
And mostly, we hope functional, like we promised.
There you have it, I hope you have a nice evening.
I'm in a hurry to put all of this online before I get loaded. See you later.
it's not a bad start hopefully we'll see more videos on how it's improving.
yes, i hope :crosses finger:
and, oh ya, HAHA SONY. IN YOUR FAT FACE!!!!! muahaha....
ok, i'm kinda going crazy now...
Hmm I'll admit I do have a bit of confidence in this emulator because its not like they are showing a video of Castle Vania SOTN, Crash Bandicout, Tomb Raider,etc running at full speed with sound. That is what usually most hoaxers aim at for some reason. If this does turn out to be a ahoax though, they definently took the right approach at it because they are gaining my confidence even, and I have been let down so many times its very very stressful (ULTRA HLE)
i want to see this emulator improve and find out what sony has to say. btw, nice translations Video_freak:)
your welcome (i'm French ;))Quote:

i hope my posts are readable....:)
Man i wish theyd release it before sony that will fire them up
Nothing is more pathetic when I see people begging for something that hasn't been released yet! Be patient people, and after all there is no guarentee this is real yet to don't even get your hopes up!
Hey instine did you look at the videos its real. And we are just messing aroung about releasing it. Actually i was never a fan of the PSX so chill dudeQuote:

And by the way "instine" that is cute don't blame me because your joke was not really that funny, as we can't really tell signs of emotion on what the hell you mean in a text conversation.
thats why we have emoticons :D
If you where or wherent i dont care. Im making a point that some people are just joking and know that this kind of stuff takes time. Yeah though i see hat you mean i was trying to spell instead but you know i have notting against you. My friend and i still love your avatar i wish i had it for mi NES emu
lol :DQuote:

I'd like to hear from LDChen on this as well.
(if you're reading this LDChen, please PM me as psx4all is now working on the PocketPC and would like to know how to coexist with FPSEce)
I hope everyone doesn't get too excited over PSXP just yet, as it seems to only run small homebrew scene demos right now. It's usually the first leap into the path of a working emulator that can eventually run commercial games.
It's one to look out for, but there's other threads about more promising projects for ps1 emulation here.
I don't have a PSP but from the sounds of it, PS1 emulation should be more adept to the PSP. The PSP has two MIPs processors which are similar to the R3000A processor in the PS1. It also has a vfpu instruction set that can handle the matrix math for the GTE. So with a bit of time a fullspeed emulator for the PSP is feasible. If the "media engine" aka a second MIPS processor could be used in a way that lets the PS1 emulator be threaded, it would help greatly. The MIPS processor could make things easier for creating a dynarec. And there's enough memory for the dynarec's translation cache.
It looks like there's some promising ps1 emulators out there for this being developed, but from the sounds of things, there still needs to be some progress before it will be feasible (near full speed).
zodttd i totally agree with you on this
I appreciate it. When psx4all ran on a similar MIPS processor clocked at ~400MHz (it's faster clock for clock than the PSP as well though) on a Linux based handheld PMP called the V43, it ran nearly fullspeed for most 2D games, and although playable on more intense 3D games, it wasn't fullspeed. Though the V43 porting only took about 2 days to make, it could be optimized much more for that specific hardware. In the case of a PSP, most ps1 emulators that are open source were abandoned in early stages, leaving them incompatible and in need of a lot of work. With a lot of work, some time, and the ability to optimize the emulator specifically for the PSP like mentioned above, it can be done. My speculation is that PSXP is still working at getting the foundation of their emulator up and going. If they're taking the hard way of starting from scratch and writing their own ps1 emulator, that would be the best option. They would be able to write it specifically for their purpose. It's also the option that takes a considerable amount of time to show progress, but if they made it far enough to show demos, they are on their way.
Take what I say with the warning that I haven't developed for the PSP, so I have no hands on expierence with it's performance and ease of some of it's functionality.
