Homebrew developer Zx-81 dropped by our forums to announce that he has updated his CPC Emulator for the PSP, PSPCAP32, to version 1.4.0. This latest build sees a number of changes from the previous release including major speed improvements as well as a number of bugfixes.

Here's the change log which details all the changes:

• Major speed improvements, frame rate reached 55 fps at 222Mhz on startup and 67 fps at 266Mhz
• Fix IR keyboard issue with fw >= 3.80 for FAT PSP
• Add gzipped disk file support, reduce disk file size from 190k to 20k ! (you may gzip original dsk file using www.7-zip.org)
• Of course, gzipped disk files are also browsable using disk explorer inside the emulator, and when possible, they can be run automatically.
• Add eboot's music
• A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester while selecting any file with the same name of a previously saved game (snapshot, disk, keyboard, settings).
• It might be very helpful to recognize that game later if you have thousand different games in your disk and snapshot folders !
• The virtual keyboard is now usable in the file requester menu to choose the first letter of the game you search !
• In the emulator menu you can go directly to keyboard and settings menu using the L-Trigger key.
• Fix random black screen issue
• Source code can now be compiled to build a linux version

Like all homebrew, be sure to go over the documentation included with the homebrew to avoid any problems.
