» why even be fw2.**
you people suck, why complain that it doesn't work on fw2.** ? unless you're actually on 2.71 (in which case you upgraded for some idiotic reason) . just downgrade and you can use devhoook, it works perfectly.
finding gba roms is quite easy, just google it, or find places which do the gba emulators or whatever...

» Still runs like a dog with no legs
Most games are still too slow to be playable and from the looks of it, it won't get any quicker.
My advice, if you want to play gba games, buy a gba or even a DS. Full speed with sound. Amazing.

» Question?
Any roms that play at a workable speed?
my completely random testing is showing 6-8fps, with garbled sound for most things ;)

OK, I loaded "Golden Sun 2" ROM, emulator reports 7-8 fps with "Skip Frame"=1 and 10 fps with "Frame Skip"=0, sound was enabled, all other settings - default, except "Show FPS" of course :) Again, good job Zx-81, keep it up!

» great
I tried the first golden sun rom running it with sound, no frame skip and my results were a locked 10fps
the sound is still horrible but was a improvement over the last version
here are some screenshots ;

» Keep it up!!!
ZX-81 deserves great thanks for even starting this emulator. Hopefully it will soon be as complete if not more complete than the snes emulator. Imagine playing all those sweet gba roms like megaman battle networks and advance wars (1000x better than field commander), castlevanias and others. Keep up the good work Zx-81, we need to see this emulator at full speed and sound.

» Thanks ZX
ZX - thanks for the continued work on this project - I would rather have small updates twice a week than one major update every other month...thank you. If you read these, could you explaine why (using small words so I'll be sure to understand) it is so difficult to get this emu running when SEGA, SNES and NEOGEO-CD are near, if not, perfect? You are a great and dedicated coder, do you have any future plans to work on a MAME project?

@all: thx
@23: GBA -> 32-bit 16.8-MHz ARM
NeoGeo -> 16 bits 12 MHz 68000
Snes -> 16-bits 4 MHz
The PSP is max 333Mhz.
Generally to emulate properly a processor you need multiply the frequency by 25, and it gives you the required frequency for the host processor. Here, 12 * 25 > 300 Mhz, so we can emulate a SNES or NeoGeo.
But for GBA : 16 * 25 > 400 Mhz, so we can see that it will be theoretically very hard to emulate a 32 bits / 16 Mhz ARM processor on a PSP ;) ...

i got pokemon fire red running at 64%(30 fps)! this is amazing! if i turn off the sound it goes up to 70%(30fps)
zx-81 you are amazing keep working on this so we can have at least one emu that emulates good games.
btw as soon as i get home and get my screenshot i will show my proof of 30 fps.

» thanks but no
I know some people who are too poor to buy $20 GBA games will like this work, and since they can't afford stuff they don't care that games run slow. You know what those cheap dirtbags say, slow is better than nothing.
But good job zx-81, you made some people very happy. :)

Until it gets to 100% I'll be sticking with my 512 MB
X-Rom and GBA SP/DS Lite. But progress is progress. I'm still confused on why so many PSP owners want to play Nintendo GBA games on their systems.
No amount of emulation can beat playing it on the real thing.

I was wondering how sony can get ps1 games to run at full speed on the psp
do they just create an emulator for specifically for one game so they can tweak it for that games needs
this seems the harder but more sucessful way as i read someone was making ott on the psp work using this method
