Monkey 64 (Nintendo 64 Emulator WIP Update)

[wraggster]

PSMonkey has posted some more WIP news about his Nintendo 64 Emulator for the PSP at his Site:

Bugs go down, compatibility goes up!

Ok so I made some dumb mistakes in the cop1 emulation.

1) I did not check for cop1 unstability.

2) I was storing a 2nd set of cop1 registers into the general cop1 registers (general reg stores float values, 2nd set is 32bit int that hold cop1 status).

Anyways with this fixed I lost a bit in the framerate department on some stuff. Yet I now have more games running as a result. Doom64 runs to the title screen and posibly beyond but cant tell since i get a white screen when i start a new game. Bust a move 2 also runs now but looks to crash in game on a bus error (still hunting this one out).

So that is about it. Sadly no calls for 3d instructions so I guess I am screwed. I will be starting up hle this week so we can start seeing some 3d (but I might spend more time on fixing texture stuff in the rdp).

Enjoy the title screen from doom.

As I understand from what he's been saying, his emulator is based on project 64, which is an emulator from the PC. You will extremely rarely see an emulator on any system being built from scratch, they all come from the PC in one way or another(usually as direct ports), but Monkey's emulator is built from scratch with most information from project 64. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
