gbaOver at the QJ Forum, Slasher started the thread "Poll for Requested Homebrew" to determine which homebrew application or games he should work on. The GBA emulator emerged as the most requested app (why am I not surprised?). As a result, Slasher released PSP GBA v1.2, the most recent build of the GBA emulator for the PSP originally created by psp298 and Miemt11. (Thanks to rob for the heads up.)

The new build features all the basics plus some enhancements.

  • Slightly faster emulation
  • Fixed up the menu a bit
  • State saves/loads
  • Vsync, Frame skip, sound on/off, screen size(smoothing)
  • ZIP support
At present, the GBA emulator is not working on PSP running on firmware 2.0. Also, the source code has been included for those who want to tackle the project. Slasher has done a great job on this one and we're hoping he continues on...

Just tested it out and noticed that it IS indeed SLIGHTLY faster than the previous emu (by ZX-81). Even the smallest progress IS progress, so that's very good work Slasher.

Man it's hard to wait for the next updates, I'm so damn excited :D

If this were ever to come out for 2.XX firmware, wouldn't some features be stripped out? Even if another version is made for just 1.50 firmware, the time for the next release will be pushed off for months.

PLEASE do not quit on us! Keep up the good work.

 » Great work- collaboration?

Hey, great work on getting this EMU going again.

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should consider collaborating with ZX on this one. I would think that it would be far smoother of a development if there were two people working on it.

But still, please stick with it. We all appreciate your effort.

And indeed, it is a bit faster. Maybe only a frame or two faster per second, but it's great to see things progressing.
