Takka has released a new release of his Unnofficial version of the GBA Emulator GPSP for the PSP:
Heres the crappy translation:
Addition of video mode
Without the filter mode of mode and 1.75 times (the top and bottom 4 dot added is cut off)..

it would be nice if he and exophase got together, i hate having 2 versions :(
I dont know but I imagine exophase would be having a problem with the language barrier. All he can do really is somehow look at the source.Quote:

What's the "patch" file? (In the attached downloads)
I wondered that to dude thank god its not just me who's stooopid lol...Quote:

would removing the audio help performance at all?
Instead of giving all the source, Takka gives the patches that you must apply to the original source code (probably Exophase's version 0.8).Quote:

You only need to take 1.5 version if you have fw 1.5 or the other version otherwise.
AHHhhh ok thats shed some light on that so no use unless your a coder shouldnt the full source be made availabe under the gpl agreement ?.
patches are convenient ways to avoid multiple source codes for developers. You can still retrieve the Exophase's source code then get patches, so this is okay for GPL : instead of having one source code to retrieve, you just need to get two source codes, but there are both available freely.Quote:

Hope i'm understandable.
EDIT: here, you may choose to apply some modifications like just a sound fix and not having the new video mode because you want to apply yours. This is easier to do with separate patches.
Here the changelog:
-gpSP kai 2.4
Add video mode.
unscaled 3:2 (existing mode)
scaled 3:2(LINEAR) (existing mode)
fullscreen 16:9(LINEAR) (existing mode)
scaled 3:2(NEAREST) (no filter mode)
fullscreen 16:9(NEAREST) (no filter mode)
scaled 1.75(NEAREST) (scale 1.75 mode but top/buttom cut 4dot)
Sorry for the almighty repeated question - - but Im guessing Mario vs Donkey Kong and Zelda are still buggy ??
Vega: No, of course not :P
Does anyone like these video modes? I always figured they don't look very good.
Argh.Quote:

EDIT : The video modes seem fine... I've got no real bones to pick with them, except maybe they are a little... what would the word be.. pixely or blocky maybe?
I guess it wouldn't hurt to add them, then at least people can stop asking for them.

I can confirm that this is working under reverse devhook, and I can also confirm that it rocks.
What about a 2X video mode where the TOP or the BOTTOM would be cropped or even shrinked ??? I really find the linear modes too much blurry , that doesn't look like the real GBA.
What do you mean? The Bios? Dont be doing that man, dont want any legal problems with this.Quote:

I tihnk Exophase meant the new video modes that were added in that mod ;)
yep you read worng, he just means the new sceen sizes, hes gonna impiment them into the official gpSPQuote:

Turns out it was my stupidity.. I installed the gba_bios.cfg instead of the .Bin file. Im feeling pretty dumb today :)Quote:

A mute option--- to use with ir shell.
has anyone else found comatability issues with these unofficial updates against the real ones? I'm finding some of my games that used to work now don't, esp. if they're zipped!
I found a weird bug on fzero the map on the left on this version flickered and pulsed like hell put Exophases last release and it was fine so sticking with it while his official release is out.
Features I would like to see:
SPEEED!!!
I don't know if it is even possible to speed up some of the slower games, but if some tweaking can be done to help with some of the sluggish games, that would be on the top of my wish list. A few example games are as follows:
Final Fantasy V
Summon Night 2 (Battles)
Advance Wars
Golden Sun (Battles)
Next on my wish list would be compatibility. If it is possible to get games that crash at certain parts to work, that would be incredible.
But even at its current "BETA" state, gpSP is one of the most impressive works of homebrew I have seen. I can't wait for an official update.

Then can we start asking for HQ2X and LQ2X modes?
Well, i bet no. :D
You bet right?
lol
Really tho exophase... Im in brown nosing mode tonight... gPSP kicks serious f****** ass man. official or unofficial . . thanks for the hard work.
Many nights I have sat on my ass and played gPSP , its becoming a bad habit.
but yeah . . thumbs up.
Well even though it looks like a bit of hard work is going in to these unofficial updates, id really like to wait for exophase' next release, it was his hard work that started it and would be quite ungrateful to jump ship as soon as a slightly different version appears, thanks for the emu exophase, keep up the good work.
I agree but that’s all he should do. Check out the code and try to implement it into his awesome emu.Quote:

But its all up to Exo and Tak.
Hey, it says in qj that Exophase has quit.......

Please say it ain't so...... Oh please please please say it ain't so! :(Quote:

The emulator is still from Exophase. No jumping to another. Takka just fixed a few tweaks. Saving to a sony card is instant!Quote:
