Have you tried \[url=http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page\]Mono\[/url\]?

http://code.google.c...er/wiki/Porting

Seems like pspplayer won''t run in wine nor mono.

It''s compatibility-list is rather short - PSPtris, trigonomitry wars, Al Mahjong and puzzle bobble

just to say, don`t talk about GU stuff, that`s just a plain static library and some games may not use it indeed. The real thing is GE (which has its own .prx file) so it means you only need to emulate GE processor (that is, emulate the GE commands).

I work on JPCSP and especially about everything about Allegrex and VFPU. JPCSP is probably the only emulator to interpret all or at least 99% of instructions including VFPU. There is also a partial bytecode dynarec for a small set of instructions with the rest interpreted. And it can play some commercial games.

Of course, because it is Java we cannot expect great fullspeed but this experience should help us to design a better psp emulator in C++ for Pandora.

Even if it would end up being just a tech demo it is still impressive. Good job. You deserve recognition! smile.gif

Good luck JayFoxRox.

It will be interesting to see how far the Pandora can be pushed.

sindbad: I m using mono on linux and never tested it on windows, but I don''t want to run pspplayer anymore unless it gets a pandora port.

hlide: I m saying GU because I implement the GE commands in batches based on the GU calls. Its just makes debugging a bit easier. But you are right. (If I run into problems I''ll make sure to ask you for help tongue.gif)

Actually, I know a guy who developed a game a while back for the PSP. Sony used some kind of wrapper/emulator in their SDK to aid development.

I''''ll see if I can hit him up.


I think that would help this project allot butter.Good idea!


QUOTE('JayFoxRox' @ 'Mar 29 2009, 10:03 AM)

Butterman: You don''''t have to. It wouldn''''t help me at all and I m not interested in the offical SDK. The PSPSDK is great and there is a great community behind it.


Are you sure???I think it help allot.

Thank you JayFoxRox! biggrin.gif
I suggest you to open a new thread in the development section. Maybe other developers can help you to give us a better emulator! wink.gif

Interesting, this could be yet another good selling point of the system (and damn good reason to own one). It certainly seems like you know what your doing, so I wish you the best of luck in getting this emulator working well, especially for the GTA games.

@ t3hmadhatt3r

What qualifies you to second guess the author of this emulator?

Have you also been developing a PSP emulator for the Pandora from the ground up too?

Pretty sure that would be the first amendment.

This isn''t America, it''s a forum.

Anyway, back on topic, I like the idea of this emulator, if it gets to any kind of usable state I''d have to donate.

    No, it still won't flash! T_T Maybe it's because I've only used one SD?
