Excellent news - the Plus/4 was the first computer I used, nearly 20 years ago! I'd been hoping for Yape (or one of the other emulators) to be ported to the PSP but didn't really expect it! The Plus/4 was relatively popular here in the UK but even so the C64 (and latterly the Amiga) trounced it in terms of numbers sold.

The emulator seems to work pretty well - I've only tried a handful of games so far, but they all work as expected, albeit at around two thirds of normal speed. (The music and sound effects sound a bit odd too, but that's due to the lower speed that thiings are running at)

The games I've tested are:

The Exorcist and Leaper, both of which were fine. I used a keyboard set up with J and S mapped to the square and circle keys and joystick 2 mapped to the D-pad.

Treasure Island:

For some reason back in the day my friends all thought the graphics in that game were very dodgy!

Reflex:

This one needs the joystick set to port 1. If you set joystick two as active, just press "down" to move to the next level.

All in all, very impressive - there really is a great selection of emulators for the PSP available now!

Incidentally for pretty much every Plus/4 game ever released, head over to the superb Plus/4 World:

Yep me to, this was my first computer and back then I thought this was the bees knee's!

My computer and console gaming history is now pretty much crammed on to my PSP.

Thanks very much ZX81! :thumbup:

edit: This should be front page news on the main page of the psp news section!

Hi ZX81,
big, bigger, the biggest thanks goes out from my brother and me. Our first computer was a Commodore Plus/4 (i own 2 plus a C16) with the Datasette. Very slowly but now, nostalgic

Again, big thanks for porting YAPE to our sweetheart.

I tested PSPYAPE 1.0.1 on a PSP with firmware 2.80, it don't work

(eLoader etc. didn't work). I hope for the next release or a downgrader for 2.80.
