gpSP 0.7 (GameplaySP V0.7) - Full Speed GBA Emu for PSP

[LloydKansas]

To access the menu, you actually don't have to hold L and R. You just hold Triangle and press Right on the D-Pad Now moving on to more serious matters:

**The rest of this post contains spoilers for Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. If you have not played it, and don't wish to see any spoilers, please refrain from reading ahead**

First of all, I'll say this emulator is coming along pretty nicely. The Minish Cap runs pretty smoothly in most areas on no higher than a frameskip of 2, and I've only run into a couple of problems. The first is pretty minor, as you don't run into it very often, but anytime two light sources collide, theres some kind of graphical glitch on the right side of the collision with the background being warped and some kind of yellow stitch pattern. The major problem I ran into was the Temple of Droplets boss battle, against the Octorok. Everything is fine until the Octorok changes to its second form, where you have to use the Flame Lantern to burn its tail. If you don't have the frameskip at 3 or over, your PSP has a 99% chance of crashing when you use it. At frameskip of 3 it works pretty nicely until the bosses fifth form, where it makes the room pitch black. You're basically forced to use the lantern to see and survive, and even at a frameskip of 15, it will crash no matter what when you have the lantern on. I've seen a few crashes, here they are:

Even a few times I've run into a crash with the frameskip at 3 while using the Flame Lantern on the bosses fourth form. Here is the exception for that:

Sorry for the long post, but I figured Exophase might be able to look at these and figure out an extra fix for the emu if he doesn't know about the problem already. Overall, thanks for a great emu, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next release ^__^

Sorry for this question, but I couldn't seem to find a better thread to post it =P

Anyway I played CastleVania Aria of Sorrow for the first time, and beat the game on this gpSP emulator. And I have to say the game was truly phenomenal.

Now my question is, is there any other Castle Vania game, that competes with this one, on the GBA?

You can use the dpad and the analog stick at the same time.
