Monday, June 26. 2006PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.0.1 (beta)![]() Hi All, VisualBoyAdvance is an emulator for GameBoy Advance console. See http://vba.ngemu.com/ for further informations. PSPVBA is a port on PSP of the Linux version 1.7.2 of VisualBoyAdvance with SDL support. How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file. It's a first beta release, and as we could expect, it doesn't run full speed ! I've done many optimizations to reach the full speed, in particular i've translated all the original source code from c++ to pure C langage for performance purposes, but that's not enough Nevertheless, all required features for an emulator are already presents such as sound, "save states", customizable keys mapping, screenshots etc ... The sound suport is based on the work of psp298, but it is not really good (mainly due to speed). Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license, read COPYING.txt file for more information about it. pspvba-v1.0.1.zip Enjoy, Zx. Trackbacks

I must say I am impressed of this work , nice! and its a shame that noone left you a comment and I must be the first one.
I like your work , and its also a terrific thing that you keep working even though so many people ( kids ) were mean to you. Keep it up , I appreciate all of your work ! ( sorry for my english I am german ^^ ) This is a cool app. I've been waiting for another GBA Emu for a while. Im no PSP programmer but I know that SNES9X uses the Media Engine/Processor for sound. It really helps speed up emulation as sound and vid are processed independently. Hope you can do the same. Keep it up!
Hey man great work with this one. I just wanted to come here and thank you for getting us a soon-to-be-working emulator for the GBA. I KNOW alot of people have been waiting for this one for a LONG time (including me
A big thank you to ZX-81 for all his work.
Can wait for this project to be finished! Keep up. Am glad you have take it over.Am sure will end up a great gba emu overall. Love your work. Nice work, i've been working on the vba emulator for the psp a while to increase the speed.
I would love to talk to you about it. UIN: 19260409 MSN: my email Julian. Any Possibility that this could work on Psp's Vr2.7 in the future? From what I've read absolutely nothin works on Vr2.7.....
Keep up the work ZX....You got some great stuff here. Superb work again ZX. What are the chances of this eventually working full speed? Is it possible on the PSP?
That is a shame but even now this is the best GBA by far so anything else you add will be a bonus. I miss my GBA but I don't want to cart it around with my PSP so if the likes of Metroid Prime and the Castlevania games (which I own BTW) can end up running at near full speed I will dance the jig. Good luck with the work mate.
Thanks a lot, it's a beautifull emulator but there is again problems:
- It doesn't support roms greater than 10mo - The speed and the sound like you say It is not critics but just a report because i've try it. Do you think you'll be able to make a GBA emulator like snesTYL? And when will you realese a new version of this emulator? Thanks a lot again. Thanks for your feedback, good to know that it doesn't work on >= 10Mo roms.
For speed and sound, i'm working on it ... Zx. You are Just Awesome Man,
How do you Churn these Emulators out so Fast? Is there more than 1 Programmer in a Group, or Just you? ....If you are the only One, My God, your Good!!! Keep up the Great Emulators, i am Absolutely love Playing the games on My PSP, using Emulation!!!!! I hope that you can Squeeze just a bit more Speed out of the PSP with your Latest GBA Emulator!!!!!!, Yours Sincerely..... The_KingPepper UK I do my appologies to Zx.
I make a mistake, the rom greater than 10mo work (my rom was wrong). Excuse me again. When do you think you'll be able to make a newer version more faster in a first time and another who support songs in another time?? You rock man keep it up !
Now to the bisnues, you sad your emulator runs slow right ? welli have an idea ! vba have a option to make roms work a lot faster depending on your computer cpu for me its 400% so my idea is why dont you try to make sucha thingy that works all the time it will probably increase speed with like 20% maby im wrong and its not possible for psp. well any way keep up the good work 100 cheers for zx-81 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have another idea for increase speed. If you the .zip were supported, you'll can use more memory space for your program because rom will be smaller, and use the free memory space to increase speed. It may be not possible.
yo zx-81 i have a question does it matter what language you use for this emulator if not then maby try another then c/c++
maby it will run better on psp or maby not i have no idea. they have just discovered kernal access to 2.5 and 2.6 psp, just incase u didnt know. check it out.. www.pspupdates.com
hey zx-28, i was just wonderin how the progress was goin with pspvba? any good news? is it faster? when do u think the next release will be? anytime soon?
stop flamming him ... man it takes time to do a good emulator
take your time zx-81 its better to w8 longer for a good emulator then get crap very soon ya someone jjust release pspvba 1.2 just a few days ago.it seems just a bit faster and it had sscreen smoothing and zip suppoort.
