Screenshots

Known issues

Samurai Shodown 2 & Last blade have some serious issues with the emulator. Both games will lock up for a few mins durring a battle then resume but yet keep repeating this every so often.

Report of Sonic not working in v1.3 (seems to run well on v1.3.1 at 333 and a frameskip of 4.)

Changelog

v1.3.1

This build defaults to 333Mhz as it was a development build. You can still downclock the emu to 222 via the menu.
Removed VSync from rendering. Games get a small boost and framerate is now around 40-50 fps in most games. A improvement over being a pretty solid 30.
Sound code is there but ungodly bad. I left it in this build in the hope someone can help me out with correcting it and getting it accurate.
Suport for using a real bios added but disabled in this build.
Ps. I officialy changed my name from nexis2600 to PSmonkey now.

v1.3

Speed improvements (listed below).
- Some games are now running at 30-35 FPS with a frameskip of 1 (at 333Mhz).
- Puzzle Link 2 now runs at 45-60 FPS with a frameskip of 4 (at 333Mhz).
Allow for a few instruction runs before checking timmers/triggers (vblank & interupts).
Added in a faster FETCH8 by making a special case mem read to check the rom space first.
Added a Load24 and write24 to mem.c to speed up the fetch24 function.
A color bug in B&W games was fixed.
Added a key configuration menu (button config is saved to memstick).

User Cpu Clocking. You can now change the CPU speed of your psp.
WARNING - By changing the CPU speed you accept full responcibility for any damage your psp might occur.
