 PSPX48: a HP48 Calculator emulator v1.0.3
Posted by Wraggster @ 08:54 PM CET | Comments: 0 | PSP
|
ZX-81 has once again updated his HP48 Calculator emulator for the PSP, heres what he said:
| Hi all,
Here is a new release of the HP48 emulator for PSP. There is no major change, only a bug fix for FW 2.0, so there is no need to update/download only if it wasn't working before on your PSP. CousinWeb gave me his PSP today with a FW 2.0 and i've fixed the bug that froze PSPX48 at startup (Many thanks to him !)
As always, the package is under GPL Copyright and sources are included. As PSPXTI v1.0.4, for me this is the final release, i won't work any more on this homebrew (only if major bugs are found). The new README file included in the archive should answer most of all your questions.
Enjoy,
Zx.

 Rice Video Plugin 6.1.1 Beta 10 Source Released
Posted by PsyMan @ 06:15 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo 64
|
After a long time without activity, Rice decided to release the sourcecode from the very latest version of his famous video plugin for Nintendo 64 emulators.
Here is what he had to say about this release:
| Hi, everyone
I have not touched my RiceVideo project for quite a few months. I really do not have time to actively do anything about it. I understand that it has many major/minor problems with different games, but I don't feel to have the motivation to fix them.
So, I would like to release the source code right here. I don't think it matters too much to the N64emu community anyway. If someone, somehow could do something with it, or borrow some ideas from it, I will be happy.
I will be still around here.
Rice

 Xbox 360 Working NES Emulator Through MCE
Posted by Wraggster @ 01:43 AM CET | Comments: 3 | xbox360
|
Xexter has found a way to get a Nes Emulator working on the Xbox 360 via MCE, heres a few screens:
Heres what he posted:
| I've attached a link to a version of NESCafe that works through Media Center on the Xbox 360. This is currently setup to run at 480p (Widescreen). You can edit the nes.htm file if it does not fit correctly on your screen. I haven't found a way to add a menu for the roms list so you will have to edit the nes.htm and change to whatever Nes rom you want to play. I've included a Public Domain rom for testing but have verified Zelda1-2, Excitebike, and TecmoBowl and all worked.
INSTALL: You will need to extract the rar into C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsAccessoriesMedia CenterMedia Center Programs on your media center box. It took a bit for the icon to show up under More Programs but it finally will.
NOTES: Sound is not functioning, Media Center 2005 is required. If it locks up you will need to run something that warns you that it is a web page and check the box that says "Don't show this again". Once you do that it should run fine. I created an MCL that just went to Google and then checked that box. I've also attached an image with the mapping of the Xbox Controller to the corresponding keyboard keys.

PSPXTI: A TI-92 Calculator emulator v1.0.2
Posted by Wraggster @ 01:27 AM CET | Comments: 0 | PSP
|
Zx-81 has updated his Texas Instruments 92 Calculator Emulator, heres what he posted:
| Hi All, I've just released a new version of the PSP TI-92 calculator. We can now load basic and asm programs (.92x files) directly in this emulator.
I've modified the key mapping, and function keys are now usable with the keyboard cursor, using analog pad.
A simple game (basic arkanoid ancestor) is given as an example in this archive. You have to press select + L1 + R1 to enter in the file selector, choose the file you want to load in your TI-92 emulator. Then enter the name of the program you want to run (ex: arkanoid() ), or use the VLINK menu of the TI-92 (2nd + minus key).
I've tested this version only with 2.5FW. Nevertheless a 1.5FW version (generated using upspear 0.15) is also available in this archive.
Enjoy,
Zx.

GUI: Added a sound master enable option on the audio tab
GUI: Fixed a bug where multiple instances of the same dialog window could be opened at once
Only the PCM8 and PCM16 audio formats are handled right now.Sound mixing is currently fixed at 32kHz mono, so panning doesn't work. If it becomes too painful to listen to you can disable sound altogether through the gui or in the .ini file ;)

PSPXTI: A TI-92 Calculator emulator v1.0.0
Posted by Wraggster @ 05:48 PM CET | Comments: 1 | PSP
|
Another day and a new emulator for the PSP has been released.
zx-81 has released a TI-92 emulator for the PSP, heres what he wrote:
| Hi all,
XTiger is an unix emulator (under X Window) of a TI-92 calculator (Texas instruments).It was originally written by Jonas Minnberg and was closed source.
Jonas Minnberg has not worked on XTiger for quite a while and he gave Misha Nasledov the code and permission to GPL it. I've sucessfully modified and port the source code of the 0.8 version using PSPSDK environment. It's now working fine on PSP !
The package is under GPL Copyright and sources are included. I've tested it only on PSP with FW 2.5 using Fanjita GTA loader, but it seems to work also on 2.x, and a 1.5 FW version is also include (generated using upspear 0.1).
Many TI92 stuff can be found on the following urls :
http://www.ticalc.org, and on the texas instruments web site http://education.ti.com
You need the rom of your TI-92 or TI-92 plus, but it is NOT part of the PSPXTI package because it is the property of Texas Instruments !
Enjoy,
Zx.

iDeaS 1.0.0.8c Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 07:20 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo DS
|
| Okay people, the time has come to release a new version of iDeaS, or better, an upgrade to the 0.8 version.
Why the branching? Easily explained: a few more improvements were planned and now being implemented but, surprise surprise!, they haven't been included.
Thank a few people, like the one who constantly scans the site folders for betas and downloaded the same file you can grab now (leaking an already to-be-released version, what's the point of it? It's not like I put any betas on the site XD), or those who bug Evrain in MSN for Mariokart DS and Nintendogs, or a few warez forum drooling over each new version of the program.
So, sorry folks, you'll have to just cope with what is here (a good chunk of the work, if you ask me, just a few bugs to be ironed out, in addition to other improvements you won't see for now, as I said) and try to play Castlevania with a few messed layers.
Here's the changelog:
- Fixed a bug in palette settings
- Fixed a bug in texture management
- Fixed a bug in Z-Buffer management
- Fixed a bug in sprite 's tiles selection
- Fixed palette errors in Mode 3
- Fixed a bug in IRQ DMAs for ARM9 CPU
- Fixed a few bugs in firmware language selection (Polarium in Italian, yay!)
- Added an ini configuration file
- Added preliminary key customisation functions

Monkey 64 v1.0 - First Release (Nintendo 64 Emulator for PSP)
Posted by Wraggster @ 08:41 PM CET | Comments: 0 | PSP
|
PSMonkey has released the first version of his Nintendo 64 Emulator for the PSP, this release has support somewhat for the Commercial game Mortal Kombat Trillogy and whilst it wont play most of the Nintendo 64 Library it is a big step in the right direction, heres the news from his site:
| Well sorry I am late but here is the much promissed first release of monkey64. I was hopping for better at the last min but it still passed my exspectations for a first build.
Few things to note.
.) While Rsp & Rdp emulation is started it is far from complete. As well there are still numerious issues in the main cpu core. I plan to fix things as soon as I can get to them.
.) This wont run mario64 or 99% of the n64 library. Some roms are starting to do things with Mortal Kombat Trillogy actualy being playable (to some extent).
.) I know there are odd looking color squares when running some comercial roms (like mortal kombat). The reason is because I have not completed texture suport in rdp. I am hoping to get a revision out asap once this is fixed.
.) The emulator is slow. Some PD roms do a pretty nice framerate but games like mortal kombat do about 5fps. This is due to the emulator still being on a pure interpreter core. In good time I will build a dynamic recompiler so we can get some more playable framerates.
.) The app is in user mode. So it is quite posible this works on 2.0+ psp units. I just sadly dont have the time to check.
Well that is it. Do enjoy. The zip contains a few favorite PD roms. Pong by Oman is a must play imo. Also if you're all currious what mortal kombat trillogy looks like in game. Please see attached screenshot on forums.
PS. Mortal Kombat Trillogy [!] dump wont work. [b1] dump runs just fine. When you see the second screen, press start as it's just warning you that there is only 1 controller plugged in.
-- EDIT --
Hey guys. Sorry I forgot to mention. The screen flickering is because its not doing double buffering on the psp. It's just directly rendering to the display screen. I was trying to fix this at lunch but ran into problems so I gave up since I wanted to push the build out asap. I'll have it fixed for the v1.1 build.

 PCSX2 - Misc News
Posted by CKemu @ 03:36 AM CET | Comments: 11 | Playstation 2
|
Various miscellaneous pieces of new posted by myself on PCSX2.net, here is a direct quote:
| PCSX2 Beta v0.9 is going to be on display at FAST-NU Lahore, Pakistan by Saqib Akhtar (One of the main developers) on the 24th and 25th of March, 2006.
PSEmu.pl run by the respected and fine admin winter_mute, will be providing the official Polish language forums for the PCSX2 project!
Some of you may of been expecting a release the end of last month, this was the original intention of the team, but recent changes caused compat issues and needed further indepth testing. The aim is to get a release out soon, but how soon depends on various major changes!
Some of these changes if fixed and tested to be 'stable' will provide a good deal of ....well dare I say it... speed!

As a bonus check out some shots from Final Fantasy X (the ever popular game!) over here, showing the game running at 20-51 FPS!!!

Monkey 64 News - First Signs of Commercial Games Support (Nintendo 64 Emu for PSP/DC)
Posted by Wraggster @ 09:57 PM CET | Comments: 0 | PSP
|
PSMonkey has posted some great news about his Nintendo 64 Emulator for PSP (which is also coming to Dreamcast thanks to GPF), heres what he has posted:
| Yep, I've got a secret and I have lied a bit to downplay it. The reason was I did not want to get people overly excited to early but I am slowly feeling confident at the current time. While the secret is not mario64 running it is something that is pushing me close to that. So what is it?
Well since about thursday last week (after the absolute crap demo started working) i've been working my ass off like crazy on rsp emulation. Just yesterday I finaly had my first rdp opcode executed and today have been working my ass off to implement dummy opcodes so I can progress it enough to render out untextured quads.
Are games running? Well no they aren't. Currently I am experimenting with two roms. The first is Mortal Kombat trillogy & the second is the PD rom VNes (nes emu by JL-Picard). Both are calling on the rdp to render and have been a great source to help advance emulation. So what about mario? Well actualy mario is also using the rsp yet is waiting on me to implement vector opcodes. Once I can get mortal kombat playable then I will start up on vector ops in hopes of getting mario up and running soon.
So the big question is, will the 9th release run games? The answer is maybe. If it does it will only be mortal kombat trillogy. Tho once I do get mario64 running a new build will be released.
So that is my big suprise secret. I hope you all enjoy it & pray to the monkey gods I can get mkt running by the 9th.
PS, once I get a fully rendered out screen, I will post pictures.
PS, the RSP/RDP is being done LLE style atm with a pure interpreter (minus the drawing which is piped to the psp gpu, not gonna software render triangles. pfff). This is important as it will let me experiment on the instructions to find a faster method on different parts of the hardware.

Check out the screenshots in this Forum Topic
Things are looking very interesting for both PSP and Dreamcast users (although the Dreamcast has less memory), keep your eyes peeled to both PSMonkey`s and GPF`s) websites for more news on this emulator.

 New GameCube Emulator Announced - Gekko
Posted by ShizZy @ 04:05 AM CET | Comments: 15 | GameCube
|
Gekko (Not to be confused with the Gamecube's Cpu) is a "proof-of-concept" Gamecube Emulator that we have been working on for the past few months. What this means, is at this time it doesn't offer anything the other emulators don't, it is relatively slow and no commercial games boot. On a different note, currently Gekko is probably the most actively worked on Gamecube Emulator, and considering the great leaps and bounds we've made in the past few weeks, new updates are expected in the very near future. Gekko is currently being developed by myself (ShizZy), aprentice, and thakis, with some assistance from ZeZu. Stay tuned..

| • Lots of little fixes and tweaks to things that I wont mention, but its always a good idea to get the latest version of GameEx.
• Enhancements in this version:
• New Karaoke Jukebox for registered users!
• Configuration application now loads and runs much much quicker.
• New functionality in Configuration application to import and export emulator configurations to a file, or import included emulator configurations. I hope people like this feature, it should help newbies and people sharing configurations.

| Two are better than one.
This release features the addition of the second CPU (ARM7TDMI). Touchscreen access is still faked in the same manner as in earlier versions, and not all parts of ARM7 memory are handled correctly yet.
Note that earlier versions of the plugins are more or less incompatible with this version.
CPU: Added emulation of the ARM7TDMI
GPU: Modified the hblank/vblank code to handle both processors
MMU: Added the ARM7TDMI memory space (incomplete)
MMU: Added some support for the WRAM control register
GUI: The disassembler can now be used for both processors
GUI: The disassembler now shows the CPSR mode bits
GUI: Fixed overwriting of program code for programs loaded at 0x02000000
