DSonPSP beta 3 - Nintendo DS Emulator for PSP

[wraggster]

i remember the days when GBA Emulation was very poor on the PSP then some bloke called exophase came along and stunned the emulation community, amazing things do happen now and again in emulation.

Although i still cant see a full speed ds or saturn emulator ever happening for PSP, now for pandora that might one day be doable

I read on another forum Chilly Willy or J.L.F on this forum ran Panzer Dragoon at 1 FPS and it took 90 minuntes to clear the first stage. This is if i recall correctly.

There was a Yabause port years ago by Sofiyacat that would have been extremely slow. The more internal dev-team work to include very significant PSP specific optimized code happened only in the last few months. It's a lot more likely that whoever was testing was using the old one.

If anyone does put a lot of energy into a faster DS emulator it'd be nice if they focused on making it available on PC as well. I think there's a lot of viability in this right now, especially with netbooks being really popular.

i've made time ago of the very-first version of Yabause running Deep Fear, its slow, but i'm impressed that it works like this

what sort of speeds are people getting who are testing this emulator ?

also how the heck do you emulate the touchscreen ?

[Yoshihirox]

Hi wraggers i can get 15fps for some games in 2d only and 8 fps in 3D only for some games too and for emulate the touchscreen i use the analog for the directional stuff and the NOTE button for confirmed my choice .

Zookeeper runs at around 4.6fps in game and it's one of the most simple games. In some apps, there might be the occasional 15fps peak on a still screen but it's usually much less than that.

That test was with beta 3. The "show fps" option doesn't work in beta 4.

[wraggster]

what can be done from a developers point of view to speed things up, i take it the emulator is already running at 333mhz ?

[Sektor]

Dynamic recompilation would help.

are there any dynarecs for any ds emulators apart from x86
