Looks like the PSP emulation scene is really kicking off. Can't wait to see more progress!

» Check out Jpcsp's project page!

The author seems to be pretty self confident about current and future progress, as you can see in the short but straight out newspost:

 Second, 1.0.0.1, release for my fantastic emulator, now all homebrews works, a special thanks to (OMG) Battaglio.

Sounds as if we can expect more from this projcet in the future. A new Sam section has therefor been added to NGEmu to keep track of releases and screenshots.

» You can download Sam v1.0.0.1 from NGEmu.
»You can check out the official homepage or our SAM section for more info.

• Emulator menu is now directly available on startup

• Add ARM tick average change option (can be used to increase speed)
• The file default.kbd (keyboard mapping) is now loaded on startup
• Screenshots are now save in BMP format instead of PNG (less memory consumming, so it should not freeze your PSP).

Hi there,

I've released the first version of my port of Daedalus for the PSP.

To cut a long story short, I managed to port the emulator over fairly quickly, but after starting a new job development ground to a halt. A few months later I saw the buzz surrounding PSMonkey's N64 emu, and thought I'd have to finally bite the bullet and let people see what I had been working on.

This is quite important: The emulator is far from perfect - many (most) roms don't currently boot, and there are all sorts of crashes, graphical glitches and performance issues. There's no sound or savegame support either This should really be treated as a teaser of what's possible in the future. Hopefully if I have enough time and motivation I'll be able to make a lot of headway with these problems.

Despite all that, the emulator is showing some great signs of progress. Super Mario 64 is looking pretty good as you can see from the screenshots here

 

The next big tasks for me to tackle are to fix various crashes (i.e. many roms boot but then bug out after a few seconds) and improve performance (i.e. Mario currently only runs at around 20-25% of full speed Cheers, StrmnNrmn

  
  

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.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Pong

It seems theres been some discussion on other Emulation forums about the PSPGBA emulator not releasing the source as should be done to comply with GPL. I contacted PSP298 the coder behind the PSP port of Visual boy Advance and he has today released the source to what is the best GameBoy Advance emulator for the PSP so far. The V1.1 release has a new GPL license included so that should please any that were concerned over the sources not being released.

• Speed increase, how much, try it and see it yourself
• Add 240x160 screen mode
• Add vsync on/off, can speed-up a little bit for some game
