PSPCAP32 v1.2.0 - Image 1

Homebrew developer Zx-81 dropped by the QJ.net Forums to give us the latest release of PSPCAP32 - a CPC emulator for your PSP. It's got a lot of major updates, not even mentioning compatibility with custom firmwares 3.x and the PSP Slim.

The update for the emulator places some major attention on improving the speed. Here's the changelog for PSPCAP32 v1.2.0:
  • Major Speed improvements, it's really fullspeed!
  • Import CRT emulation part of older version of Caprice32 (less accurate, but much faster)
  • Add two new render modes : Fast and Ultra.
  • Sound is now played in 16 bits and stereo!
  • IR keyboard support!
  • Display and save thumbnail images for each save state
  • New speed limiter function
  • Add option to display fps rate
  • Option to prevent the blue led to be displayed when L or R is pressed
  • Now compatible with custom firmwares 3.x and PSP-slim
  • Add a simple intro splash screen
  • Support iso8859-1 fonts in print text functions (might be useful to translate menus in German, French...)
  • Bug fix and code cleaning
As always, users are encouraged to go through the readme file, which contains all the essential information about the app. The source code and a whole bunch of CPC snapshots for the emulator courtesy of Gryzor are also available for download below.

This looks like an impressive application for PSP. The day that we finally have a fully functional xp (because I hate vista) os running at decent speed on a PSP would be the day that we've conquored a lot. This developer really deserves a lot of credit for putting out an application that is closer to a port of windows than what anyone else has developed. Granted, its more of a windows CE than anything, but its still quite an achievement. Good job.

Dude you have no idea what your talking about do you?
This is a port of another console system named Amstrad
CPC and is not a windows emulation. It's for CPC464,
CPC664, and CPC6128 games.

Why are developers wasting their time with this? They should be focusing on developing Linux for PSP. It's possible.

If you want linux installed on your portable console, then buy a gp2x :). btw, this is a CPC emulator, not a PDA or office apps. You can play up to 4000 differents old but good games with it,
