gpSP v0.8

Posted Oct 8, 2006 at 5:57PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Development, Homebrew Emulators, Emulators Tags: Exophase, GBA, gpSP, Pokemon, StrmnNrmn
Ó


GBAExophase dropped by our forums to inform us that he has released a new iteration of his famous GBA emulator, gpSP. gpSP is the best GBA emulator released for the PSP with great compatibility and performance. Exophase has gained instant respect and love from the scene for his emulator.

As a result, everyone has been asking when the next release is. However, Exophase would like to ask everyone to stop asking him when the next release will be. Well, we're proud to say that v0.8 has been released just a few minutes ago!

With this newest version of gpSP, there's the added ability to use save states that even allows you to map the save/load to a few buttons of your choice. The numerous number of fixes and additions can be viewed below:
  • Fixed bug in dead flag elimination, "alt" version no longer needed.
  • Fixed EEPROM saves being saved as 32kb instead of 512bytes/8kb
  • 32MB ROM support has been added. ROMS are "demand loaded" as necessary and page swapped out; there might be a small loading lag, but I have yet to ever really notice anything.
  • NOTE: 32MB ROM support only works for unzipped ROMs.
  • Save states have been added. See the save state menu for save/load options.
  • Support for the real-time clock (RTC) chip in Pokemon cartridegs and other games. The implementation is based off of VBA's, whatever notes on gbadev I could find, and some of my own reverse engineering of what the games do... it might not be totally correct. Also, setting the time does not work.
  • Per-game configuration. Currently this only saves frameskip and frameskip variation options.
  • Removed the flash type option from the menu and instead added it to game_config.txt. Hopefully got everything - let me know if you find something that isn't there. It's pretty easy to add them if you have to.
  • Added a display in the upper left-hand corner to indicate when fast-forward is on.
  • Added button bindings for save/load state.
  • Found a fix of StrmnNrmn proportion: far too much unnecessary mutex synchronization was going on. Removing the two offending lines of code gave a massive speed boost for free. Enjoy.

Sweet, lots of good stuff in this release! (32mb rom support, rtc support, savestates, speed increase!!) great work!



@2

upgrade to 2.71 and it should work with HEN. Or, if you're not a TA-082, downgrade to 1.5 (and then if you want upgrade to the 2.71 SE-A) and run it.

@19, u dont need to, just load that game up and it will work, well atleast i got it to work, that option isnt needed, but if that doesnt work, then open up the game_config.txt and find Emerald and then change all the flash_rom_type to 128kb and then save and load it up again.

@15:

It is illegal to provide that file to you, and if it was provided for you in the emulator package, Exophase would be in a lot of trouble, and probably be hit with legal problems...meaning no more gpsp versions...

alright... so, throwing my stupidity in the ring (again). I have been having speed issues with this emu as well as others (snes, dgen). My NES and SMS/SGG emus work fine with no speed problems. What am I doing wrong? I have to take another look at the SNES emu readme info because there are like 5 different ways to speed up the emulator, I just haven't had time. Anyways, if anyone could give me a pointer it'd be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having issue getting Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2006, and Duel Academy, working. There's no entry in the game_config.txt file for either game, so I'm sure if they can just be set to 128kb flash or w/e, like Pokemon Emerald needed, then they'd work. If someone can help with that, I would be direly appreciative.



MMBN is finally working Ah, memories...



Finally, Medabots still isn't working, at least for me. It crashes as soon as you leave the lab (Medabots 2, Metabee version). I think it's another issue of setting to 128kb flash.



Basically, my issue stems from not knowing how to work that .txt file. Anyone who can help gets cookies Thanks.

start the rom and keep pressing start untill the movie fhinish or reboot the game again and it works fine.

I never comment here, but this app just demands it. 06/07 was good and I was shocked to see because I was one of the people not believing it was possible. 08 with 32m support, more speed AND the abillity to save -- just amazing.



Rock on Exophase. I love to be proved wrong.

I have allways herd that a gba emulator never can be fast enough to use... The vba (i think the omwbrow is called so) emulator sucks compared to this... has it got anything to do whit the bios file and that it's not legal?

» Fire Emblem - Not a complaint a constructive question

Do you have any problems running fire emblem?

I played it at first and it was fine ran great but then I noticed that whenever the turn phases started there'd be slowdown (and memorystick access,not sure if its cos I transfered everything to a bigger memory stick LOL) so I changed the option for updating the memory stick to on gsp exit and the rom runs great.

I'm amazed at the amount of games that run on this most sound/speed issues can be resolved by changing the frameskip to 2 - and once again Riviera YAY!

hi everyone,

great emulator. i was wondering since grand theft auto advance doesnt work on this emulator and runs very slow on PSPVBA is there any emulator (or way) to play it on your PSP at full or decent speed? thanks

Kingdom Hearts work if you download the European version. The US version freezes when the intro movie starts. But still..the intro movie is very ugly, looks a bit glitchy, but Kingdom HEarts fully works:D

» Run gpSP 0.8 on fw 2.71?

I have a TA-082 with fw 2.71. The ONLY reason I upgraded was to get gpSP 0.7 (?)(luckily between HEN C and eloader 99 I can still run all my emus) my only problem is with gpSP 0.8, perhaps this is ignorance on my part..

0.7 runs ok for me, i only want 0.8 because of save states and faster speed (like i saw on youtube) i play on break at work, so speed and instant-saves mean everything to me. Someone ? How exactly do I run gpSP 0.8 now?
