Mmmmm Portable Pong Emulated Goodness

Mmmmm *drool*

Well after some back and forth I figured a few things out. For some reason I dont need to byteswap the pif ram where pc emulators do. So with this and a few corrections I got input working.

Even better is the fixing of SI transfer now keeps a few homebrew games from crashing.

So here are some screenshots of Pong by omar, Liner (I dont understand the point of this game), Manic Minor & MM hiden levels (oddly enough its very dark), & the wonderful n64 logo returns from waverace (do note that no comercial games run, this just this logo shows up since it draws to the framebuffer with no use of the rsp/rdp).

Anyways enjoy. More updates to come when more progress is made.

Good Stuff!

Well we are back to square one!

Now its time for RSP

Oh BTW PSmonkey Liner would be a game which you have to avoid the other lines.

There are games simular to this such as a minigame on fusion frenzy on Xbox etc.

As soon as this project fires up and works on 2.60 im upgrading

Time for rsp, No! I still have many issues in demos to fix.

I would agree with your opinion on liners but it seems like you get 1 point for every line that crashes into a wall or another line. So is it who has the least number is the winner?

--edit--
I dont agree with an upgrade to 2.6 yet still. I dont think 2.0+ eboot loader can handle demos that use the ME as another processor which I definaly will be doing down the line somewhere.

Nice PSMonkey

I wonder why the third game is so dark, Any clue of the reason behind it?

Wow pong just got even better. While this did not speed up other demos but i put in more speed hacks for jump instructions (ie, if the jump is to the current address, it forces a vsync since pretty much the n64 is waiting on a vsync to occure). Anways pong does 30fps now. *insert shocked face*

kaiser,
Its not an emu issue i believe. Its dark in pretty much all n64 emus.

Nice, I just wish that one day they'll have a downgrader for 2.6. I have a 2.6 (upgraded from 1.52 when I "didn't care about homebrew" ¬_¬), and if I can downgrade, then I can't wait for the day when I can play Mario 64 on my PSP. I wish Ocarina of Time was possible, but with that 16 mb limit on the ROMs, things don't look too bright on that aspect V.V. Oh well, I'll be happy with whatever you make =P

having seen pc emulators evolve, I do know that Mortal Kombat Trilogy can be emulated without a whole lot of rsp/rdp and for sure without HLE. Nemu64 accomplished this in it's early days. Granted speed will be an issue, but this emulator has already impressed me greatly.

Keep Going PSMonkey. Great work so far!
