PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.1.0 (fast and smooth)

Hi All,

Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP.

What's new in version 1.1.0 :

- It works now on 2.5 and 2.6 FW (i've tested it using DevHook)
- All the graphic part has been rewritten to replace SDL by direct GU access (faster)
- Sound is now played at 22Khz instead of 11Khz (i can play it up to 44Khz, it's better but slower

).
- The images are now smooth (using the GU)
- Snapshot files are now in PNG format (instead of BMP)

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

Two binary versions (for 2.x and 1.5 FW) and sources are included in the zip archive.

This should be the last version for 2.x because i will try to use the ME (available only on 1.5)

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

pspvba-v1.1.0.zip

Enjoy,

Zx.

I'm using 2.5 fw, so loading up PSPVBA through GTA:LCS. I've just tried the new 1.1.0 version, but still found the gameplay a tad too slow and the sound too crackly to enjoy my games... So my question is, what's the best setting to play the games?? Am I perhaps doing something wrong, or is this speed really the best that can be squeezed outta the psp?

#7 Kaboom on Jul 15 2006, 12:33 Reply

It's not possible to have a GBA emulator running full speed on PSP for ALL games.

The reason is that we need at most a 25 factor between the real hardware frequency and the hardware used for emulation. The GBA is 16Mhz, so we need 400Mhz, PSP is only 333

...

HOW DO U DO THIS SUFF?

#7.1.1 gray757 on Feb 6 2007, 00:20 Reply

Yeah, but optimization makes it all the more different, binary translation can batter factors like that to a pulp. I'm sure you can get around with common optimization too.

I posted some great Screens in your forum running at 30fps with great speeds.

great work Zx

You are the coolest guy ever and please keep up the work. I have been with the psp homebrew scene since the begin (when it was psphacks.com) I am hoping that you make the vba emulator as good or even better to the Snes9x emu. And also Zx-81 you are the best coder ever!!!! Looking forward to the next update.

"It works now on 2.5 and 2.6 FW (i've tested it using DevHook)"

How do you use DevHook on a 2.5 PSP?

#12 Liam on Jul 16 2006, 03:07 Reply

I'm pretty sure he meant he used DevHook to run the 2.6 firmware, then loaded the emulator under that firmware.

#13 OneWingedAngel on Jul 16 2006, 10:40 Reply

...using a 1.5 PSP, I mean. Sorry for the double post.

Pat perhaps you have a ta-82 motherboard psp? Or maybe your install of the Eloader is not right, or somehow got messed up. I suggest you reinstall the eloader with the auto Bock version, and then reattempt running the emulator.

#18.1 wowzors on Jul 19 2006, 12:27 Reply

It works now after I have installed the eLoader again. Thanks Wowzors.

Will there be support for tiff exploit?
That would be great!!!!!!!!!!

#19 rx on Jul 22 2006, 22:58 Reply

PSPVBA needs a LOT of memory to run, and the tiff exploit doesn't offer enough even to run a small rom ... So please downgrade and use devhook 2.x stuff

...

You need the game GTA, and the latest version of the eloader ... i suggest you to go on dcemu or qj.net where you will find forums that answer your questions, with tutorials etc ...
