This just in: developer Zx-81 has come up with the final release of the Atari 7800 homebrew emulator for the PlayStation Portable, PSP7800. Considering the long interval between the previous version of the program and the latest build, PSP7800 v1.1.2 is just full of updates guaranteed to make the old-school gaming addict in you jump for glee.

The most notable feature added would probably be the new hotkeys mapped to the emulator. These hotkeys tweak several new settings such as fps, render mode, and auto fire speed. Also, those who've previously downloaded PSP7800 may also notice the improved speed the latest version has.

Here's what's new in version 1.1.2 of the emulator according to the Readme.txt file:
  • Major speed improvements (> 60 fps at 222Mhz), but limited at 50fps by default
  • Auto-fire mode, press RTrigger+X to switch it on/off useful for games such as space Xevious! On given games, the auto fire can't be stopped easily (so you might have to disable it several times)
  • It uses now only PSP GU for rendering
  • IR keyboard support (pretty useless, but don't forget, i'm a shadok)
  • Add several new hotkeys :
    • settings such as fps, render mode, auto fire speed can now be directly modified inside the emulator (no need to enter in the settings menu)
    • quick save/quick load current state (no need to enter in the main menu)
  • RTrigger/LTrigger keys can be used in the keyboard settings menu to navigate between Normal, LTrigger and RTrigger compose mapping.
  • Analog pad can be used in the rom file requester
  • Default Hotkeys can now be set in the keyboard mapping menu (useful to add hotkeys on existing/previous keyboard files)
  • Bug fix in the low battery watchdog
This version is the final release for the program, and includes several copies for whatever custom firmware you run on your PSP. Also included is the program's source code distributed under the GNU public license for other developers to study.

As always, don't forget to take a look at the Readme.txt file for instructions on how to properly install PSP7800 on your handheld. Enjoy the download!
