PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.0.6 (minor update)

Posted By: zx-81



Hi All,

Here is a minor update of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP.

*** The goal is more to inaugurate this new forum than to provide a real new release full speed and with many new features ***

What's new in version 1.0.6 :

- Add screen resize option (Ymin/Ymax) to reduce the size of the screen and then speed up the emulation.
This can be usefull in car games such as V-rally 3, when we don't care to see the sky or not .
It's simple but we can hope to win up to 5% on CPU speed.

- Press Start+Select to return to the emulator menu (whatever the key mapping you have set).
This feature is to overcome the issue some of you encountered, when they couldn't go back in the emulator
menu because the key they had assigned to the menu didn't respond .

- (re) Add the save battery feature (already available in the original VBA source code), but i haven't tested it so far .

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

Two binary versions (for 2.x and 1.5 FW) and sources are included in the zip archive.

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.


Enjoy,

Zx.

Posted By: zx-81



Hi All,

Here is a new version of PSPAtari the emulator of Atari 800, 800XL, 130XE and 5200 series.

*** First i would like to thank you Cyphre for his help on the sound issue ! ***

What's new in version 1.0.3 :

- Improve the sound, it's now much more better
- The percent of battery left is now displayed in the emulator window
- Add a watchdog to automatically return to the emulator menu when the battery is very low (< 5%)
- Enter directly in the emulator menu on startup (instead of the ATARI screen)
- Bug fix in smooth image algorithm (resulting in wrong color display)
- Add keyboard change skin option (you can add your own virtual keyboard images in the graphics directory).

PS For those who wonder how to use 5200 Roms :

You have to load them using the original atari800 emulator menu (the yellow "Atari800 menu" option in the emulator window ).

Then select "Cartridge management" then "Insert cartridge" and specify your disk image file,
then choose the cartridge type 5200, and go back to the emulator using LTrigger.
