The emulator works great. the limit is somewhere around 440 ( got rid of 20 at a time until I hit it ) If anyone think that it works a little slow be sure to check your settings. when I installed it, it was defaulted to 40 fps, should be 60 I believe. Thanks for the great work as always zx-81

Yes, it put the default value to 40 because i thought it was too fast at 60 ... but you're right, many games required 60 fps.

Bugtesting:

The swap analog/d-pad option doesn't work.

Pitfall II Teh Lost Caverns runs too slow to be playable, but this is also the case in Aenea's port. I believe the clock speed of the PSP just isn't enough.

Brightness mode changes (gets really dark when you hit reset) in game Yar's Revenge. Don't know if it's the PSP or the source code of Stella.

But besides that, the GOOD thing is, since we can switch controllers on the fly in game, Raiders of the Lost Ark is now playable.

Max render mode gets a little pixely in places, but it's a little better than the blurry mess in aenea's port.

There are 559 Original 2600 correct roms. there are also hundreds of hacks and homebrews, but most people don't have those. I'm thinking if we can up the Rom folder limit to 600, that will solve the problem for most people.

this alone is worth a Woo Hoo!!

as far as the rom limit thing goes I'd suspect it is an issue with the way the names are called up and displayed in the menu and not necassary to fix when you can use sub folders ( at least for my part ) and might not be worth the effort to fix.

I'm happy with Raiders:thumbup:

I can't imagine it's too much effort. Even though aenea's port had a very limited "menu" it didn't have a ROM limit, and all 883 of my ROMs showed up fine.

But yeah, if it's a lot of work Zx - don't bother. It's all good.

No it's not a hard work, only one line to change lol ... Anyway i've found another bug : the change joystick player option doesn't work (i've forgotten to copy some few lines in the code from atari 7800

). The swap analog / d-pad doesn't work either (from the same reason).

For Pitfall II Teh Lost Caverns i will try to see what happens ...
