New PSXP Videos Released!

[ACID]

Man i wish theyd release it before sony that will fire them up

Nothing is more pathetic when I see people begging for something that hasn't been released yet! Be patient people, and after all there is no guarentee this is real yet to don't even get your hopes up!

Hey instine did you look at the videos its real. And we are just messing aroung about releasing it. Actually i was never a fan of the PSX so chill dude

[pkmaximum]

Wow by instinct you automatically thought I was talking to you, I just mentioned I thought it was pathetic when people beg for an emulator that has yet to be released. And you automatically lash our at me thinking I was refering to you. By lashing out at me you just make it seem like you were beggin fro the emulator. And by the way "instine" that is cute don't blame me because your joke was not really that funny, as we can't really tell signs of emotion on what the hell you mean in a text conversation.

thats why we have emoticons

If you where or wherent i dont care. Im making a point that some people are just joking and know that this kind of stuff takes time. Yeah though i see hat you mean i was trying to spell instead but you know i have notting against you. My friend and i still love your avatar i wish i had it for mi NES emu

Figured I'd put my "two cents" in, considering I need ten posts to figure out who sent me a PM...

I'd like to hear from LDChen on this as well.
(if you're reading this LDChen, please PM me as psx4all is now working on the PocketPC and would like to know how to coexist with FPSEce)

I hope everyone doesn't get too excited over PSXP just yet, as it seems to only run small homebrew scene demos right now. It's usually the first leap into the path of a working emulator that can eventually run commercial games.

It's one to look out for, but there's other threads about more promising projects for ps1 emulation here.

I don't have a PSP but from the sounds of it, PS1 emulation should be more adept to the PSP. The PSP has two MIPs processors which are similar to the R3000A processor in the PS1. It also has a vfpu instruction set that can handle the matrix math for the GTE. So with a bit of time a fullspeed emulator for the PSP is feasible. If the "media engine" aka a second MIPS processor could be used in a way that lets the PS1 emulator be threaded, it would help greatly. The MIPS processor could make things easier for creating a dynarec. And there's enough memory for the dynarec's translation cache.

It looks like there's some promising ps1 emulators out there for this being developed, but from the sounds of things, there still needs to be some progress before it will be feasible (near full speed).

zodttd i totally agree with you on this

I appreciate it. When psx4all ran on a similar MIPS processor clocked at ~400MHz (it's faster clock for clock than the PSP as well though) on a Linux based handheld PMP called the V43, it ran nearly fullspeed for most 2D games, and although playable on more intense 3D games, it wasn't fullspeed. Though the V43 porting only took about 2 days to make, it could be optimized much more for that specific hardware. In the case of a PSP, most ps1 emulators that are open source were abandoned in early stages, leaving them incompatible and in need of a lot of work. With a lot of work, some time, and the ability to optimize the emulator specifically for the PSP like mentioned above, it can be done. My speculation is that PSXP is still working at getting the foundation of their emulator up and going. If they're taking the hard way of starting from scratch and writing their own ps1 emulator, that would be the best option. They would be able to write it specifically for their purpose. It's also the option that takes a considerable amount of time to show progress, but if they made it far enough to show demos, they are on their way.

Take what I say with the warning that I haven't developed for the PSP, so I have no hands on expierence with it's performance and ease of some of it's functionality.
