Yes this is a great emulator, I've been playing it on the train nonstop since it was released, and I can't wait for the next update.

As far as the list in my last post, I have edited so that it's not confused with his list of working games.

Sorry for the confusion.

Sigh I thought that the list meant games that were expected to work, not those that wouldn't Like you said I hope they learn something from Deadalus emu so that they will be able to make big games to work.

Still, I don't understand why GP2x can make the big games work where the PSP apparently can't. At least they could try to make them work without sound to save memory.

EDIT: A bit offtopic but if Memory stick read speed is so slow how can Sony think of a Playstation emulator reading data directly from MS? weird.

Well, I don't own a GPX, so I can't say anything for performance, but I'm pretty sure the GPX has about twice the RAM as the PSP, so that helps for a lot.

Furthermore, Neo4All for the GPX uses it's own unique system to cue up graphics, so they don't all have to be loaded in at once, and can be loaded on the fly without much interference. From what I've read on the DC forums it seems to work really really well. I wish the author of this emu would incorporate this technology, but he'll do it his way.

I think Sony expects to run PSX games off of the memory stick precisely because they are CD games which were originally designed to send small chunks of data to the PSX's small ram. I think it was like 2MB or something, so the PSX has about 8 times that, it shoudl be good to go.

Actually if im not mistaking the GPX has twice the memory then the psp. The GPX main intention was to run home brew and apps thats why it was design with so much memory.

Ok now I'm confused, because I was looking through the thread and saw that on page 8 there are two pics of rage of dragons obviously running on beta3, and then rage of dragons (30+ mb) is listed in the alpha3 update posted, so are you sure that the list is talking about games that don't work, and if so what are the pics about?

[oninotsume]

Well, that's what his post says.

It says that the games in that list cannot be run because even with the utilization of the cache function there isn't enough ram on the PSP to run them, but the picture would say otherwise, wouldn't it. Perhaps he has found a way

[aleborri]

*fingers crossed*

The GP2X has a dual core processor for external ram even though it is rarely acessed when making homebrew. But that is why PSX emulation is going so well on the GP2X is because acessing that 2nd dual core processor it makes the emulation much smoother and faster. As said by the developmet team of the PSX emulator and that is currently at its state it is running all 2D games at about 100% speed with great sound. So imagine playing Castle Vania Symphony of the Night guys if your huge PSX fanatics. Then the GP2X might be the video game system for you .

Also about the Soul Calibur running off MAME for the PC. Could someone tell me a good emulator that would get the job done for this, and also if you do know a good emulator, could you P.M. me your expierence with the emulator, and a link on were I can find it. I absolutley don't want any links to roms as I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Thx for your help

Well I suppose it's the difference between a machine made specifically for homebrew and one that isn't, but GP2x just kills me with it's terrible controller, the lack of rechargable battery, no sleep, incredibly long system start, small screen, bad image even with some distortion, and badly implemented multimedia features. No amount of work from the willing gp2x coders can solve some terrible design choices, I know it's meant to be cheap but it's just that bad...

Hopefully xgp will give perfomance quality similar to PSP while being much more homebrew friendly when it's released at the end of the year.

No no, it's kizuna(32 mb unzipped). Anyway, one big rom can work on alpha 3 but with slowdown and crash...
