PS1P WIP News Update - DCEMU Exclusive - New PSOne Emu for PSP Coming Soon

[mavsman4457]

A lot of people seem to like the completely customizable button scheme, which is a wonderful option. I just wish I could remember how many console-based games actually gave you that choice. Most "good" games gave you a choice of 2 to 3 right handed configuration, and a couple of left-handed configurations.

Being left handed myself, I am partial towards the idea above (I do not like the few games I've played where only a single configuration was offered). While having a completely customizable scheme sounds great, I wonder about it's ease of implementation.

So from a left-hander's perspective, here is one possible suggestion:
- the analog stick be the "look around" control
- the X/O/[]/triangle buttons be for moving back/right/left/foward
- Let L & R be a default X and [] (would it be conceivable that a double-tap on L or R changes it's functionality to O and triangle until double tapped again?)
- The digital pad be as follows: left = L2, up = L3, right = R2, and down = R3.

Heck, after looking what I wrote, I think some of the suggestions are not too swift, but I wanted to provide you with a finite configuration scheme as a counterpoint to the "just let us map it however we want" point of view.

I don't understand how configurations can be left or right handed. Frankly, I didn't understand a word you said or understand any of your logic. I might just be stupid though. Welcome to the forums.

mavsman,

Thanks for the welcome to the forums. In some games, they give you multiple controller configurations with left-handed configurations often being identified as "Southpaw".

As an example, Star Wars Battlefront II (US release)has one configuration where the analog stick is for looking up/down/turn left/turn right (to me, a typical left-handed configuration), whereas the remaining configurations have the analog stick for moving forward/backward/sidestep left/sidestep left (what I consider to be a right-handed configuration).

Sorry for the confusion. I hope some part of what I said previously makes more sense.

I would suggest:

1. - program the buttons as normally as possible, then
2. - use the psp music button (you know the music note) to toggle between the other buttons, i.e. r2 and 3 and l2 and 3, and the right hand analog stick.


UH BTW: Wraggster doesn't hype, ppl. He tells it straight up.

The PSP homebrew scene has overused the note button...

I suggest we wait on how Sony will map their buttons on their PS1 Emulator

And let Sony beat us to the punch?

PSP history shows that Sony takes ideas from homebrew.

I don't think I'd feel the same if we got our ideas from Sony instead of the otherway around.

kant wait till this comes out

btw nice sig emeria

[porchemasi]

all i want is ff7 which doesnt need l2 and r2 or the right anolouge

[Lodis]

Is there any reason to expect this emulator to run much faster than the one that was already released i.e psxp?

I am not sure about this, only time will tell.
