Someone upload to a rapidshare account please.

This is great! Awesome Job, psp298 you totaly ROCK!

Keep up the GREAT work!

# Guest 2005-10-24 19:16

Wow! Once again, nothing but a pre-exploited PBP. What do you authors have against the orginal PBP?

Does anyone happen to have the source code or the orginal PBP????

# Guest 2005-10-24 19:31

Well done, good speed, but one question...
what about roms that are bigger than 16mb?!
the psp hangs up during loading and returns to main menu (exiting psp gba) ?!

thanx

# Guest 2005-10-24 19:58

Heh i'm guessing they put a cap on how many people can download one file at a time either that their putting up the file as we speak right now and is taking a little longer. Just be patient we'll be able to download when ready or when there is less people trying to download the file.

# Guest 2005-10-24 21:09

Please help me. I have a bersion 1.0 PSP (got it from Japan) and I can't get my GBA emu to work. All my other emulators work fine. Can someone help?

# Guest 2005-10-25 00:13

congrats and all but this is still painfully slow. They shouldnt bother releasing these updates cos theyre not worth running. You certainly cant play roms with them.
Wait till a decent speed has been acheived then boom! hit us.....
Props to the author so far tho..

# Guest 2005-10-25 01:04

Woohoo... haven't tried it yet.
Guess what... i was so anxious waiting for the gba emulator to come out, i bought one GBA for about 25US bucks yesterday. Haha... am still anxiously waiting for a 100% speed emulator~ keep up the great work!.. then i'll scrap that GBA.

# Guest 2005-10-25 05:55

FIRST POST!

# Guest 2005-10-25 05:56

Wee second !

I hope its faster now !

# Guest 2005-10-25 05:57

I hope it works on 2.0!

/me downloads and tries.

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:03

SWEET! DL'ing it right now :) good job PSP298 ...hope there is good sound

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:24

brilliant speed increase, best psp gba emulator, nice work.

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:28

MUSIC TO MINE EARS!!!!

I was going to buy GTA today and upgrade, but now I definitely won't...at least until they figure out how to play GTA without upgrading. Castlevania, here I come!

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:37

I WOULD TRY IT IF YOUR SITE WOULD LET ME DOWNLOAD IT. Slow ass server..

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:38

On 2.0 it freezes after selecting a ROM, for anyone who cares.

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:39

If you've tested it on 2.0, let us know.

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:43

the site is slowwww! cant download. :( is there any other place i could download this?

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:49

this gba emu is great! awesome speed increase, i was so happy about that...a little bit longer and the speed will be close to 100% ill bet, now all we need is sound :P. thanks so much PSP298.

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:54

Why in the hell is it not letting us download. wtf

# Guest 2005-10-25 06:59

Can someone please up this to a site that doesent constantly have server problems?

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:05

Ok, got a hold of it finally, here's a rapidshare link.

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:11

guess the eboot loader should be updated

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:26

Tnk got i finally have it....nice work though keep up da good work..cnt wait for da nxt release..

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:36

OMG. Awesome. Only thing I don't like is the obscure save format that I can't use VBA saves with. :/

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:44

somebody put up a rappid ling for the roms as well. have the gba emu workin on the 2.o eboot loader. now i just need roms the site gives but i cant get it cause it blocks me.

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:47

If you are experiencing problems with the download, please visit the forum post as I have updated the first post with an attached version of the emulator. The rom files can be found later on in the thread (there is a link to download them).

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:47

emuparadise is all im gona say...

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:54

psp298 love your work keep it up bro. last thing left is the sound everyone one say yay!!! for GBA

# Guest 2005-10-25 08:58

i love TGBUS.COM

# Guest 2005-10-25 09:01

for all u who say they cant download and when it say error that mean your firewall wont allow you to download it so just turn off your firewall and your fine works for me!!!!!!

# Guest 2005-10-25 09:18

this is great, just what i've been waiting for.
this version is way better than the previous one in terms of speed- I'm sure this will get better and better and someday we will be able to play in full speed w/ sound (size to size gba screen would be nice too~)

Thank You psp298 ,you ROCK!!

# Guest 2005-10-25 09:27

Woo! I cant wait for a full speed emu!

# Guest 2005-10-25 09:38

Can almost play Advance Wars II at a decent speed...

This emu's a good 'un...

# Guest 2005-10-25 09:45

YES!!!
Thank you so so much.
I was already content with playing the last version, but this version is so much better and faster.

# Guest 2005-10-25 10:12

yeah now i can play pokemon again lol

,But great work best gba emu ever made

# Guest 2005-10-25 10:15

Here is another Mirror for you all....

# Guest 2005-10-25 10:44

Time for Good News, Bad News.

Good news: It RUNS on 2.00 under the v0.8 EBOOT loader.
Bad news: It crashes when you try to open a ROM. At least, it did when I tried to load a 22MB ROM.

# Guest 2005-10-25 12:13

nightrose, there is no v0.8 EBOOT loader yet, the last one was 0.7...unless the other sites haven't gotten word of it yet.

# Guest 2005-10-25 12:39

Chris, there IS a "GBA Size" screen option, check it out

Btw, Nice work, u can really notice the speed difference, if u keep this rate up it'll be in a near 100 speed in no time, great job man, can't wait for next update, since, i for one, am the kind of person that can't play w/o their beloved game music

Keep up the good work PSP298!!

# Guest 2005-10-25 12:57

Hey...great work man. Thanks a lot for the emu update.

A request: could you put a 'show fps' option in the menu? It'd be great to see how the speed changes with each update in more concrete numerical terms.

Also, please continue working on increasing graphics acceleration instead of working on sound. Sound is a wonderful aspect that one can't play without..for too long. But without the right speed no matter how much music or sound there is a game will be totally unenjoyable.

Again, thanks for the emulator.

# Guest 2005-10-25 13:21

Now is the psx and gba both 32bit capable? If so, where is our psx emulators. PS. This Emulator rocks.

# Guest 2005-10-25 13:44

just out of curiosity...does this use the PSP's GU at all? because i remember the SNES being slow, but when using the PSP's GU it was 100% or close.

# Guest 2005-10-25 13:46

Yes, the GBA and PSX are 32-bit, but they are completely different. For starters, PSX has 3d rendering, MDEC, XA sound..All very hard to emulate. I wouldn't expect a (working, not just 1fps in a demo) PSP PSX emulator anytime soon, if at all.

# Guest 2005-10-25 13:56

BM03,

are you referring to 'GBA original size (240x160)' on the menu screen?

if you compare THAT screen with actual GBA screen, then the one on PSP is considerably smaller. I believe the 'original' screen size is as same as the one from VBA emulator.

I wish that he would make something that's between supposedly GBA screen and Full Screen (3:2) because former is kinda small yet Full Screen shows too much of pixels.

If there's something I do not know, then please let me know.

Right now, games like Hikaru no Go2, or Love Hina is playable.

Once again, this is a great leap from the previous version and I can't wait for the next version.

# Guest 2005-10-25 13:59

yea i think the next time speed will be at 100% or hopefully close to it and sound will be fixed. all i really want to do is play Fire Emblem but it still runs a lil slow but faster than the last time. GJ GUYS!

# Guest 2005-10-25 14:28

im sorry who ever did this but this is still slow and the sound is horrible wtf it the same thing as the last one sorry agian who ever made this

# Guest 2005-10-25 15:20

hey b18 you try the last version, or even worse VBA .03, then you come out here and complain :D, o thats right, you wouldnt be able to!

# Guest 2005-10-25 16:22

If he tried blurting out more than a couple sentences I'd think he'd pass out from lack of periods or commas. You know...they exist for a reason b18.

# Guest 2005-10-25 17:23

>>sonic<<

AMEN!

# Guest 2005-10-25 18:24

b18, if you can make one that is better then do it, otherwise, do not complain. It is free and a labor of love from the programmer's part, so take it as it is.

It is because of comments like yours that many a project got canned or stopped.

# Guest 2005-10-25 18:54

Ok, tried to test several games (6 to be precise) but aprently those plus themu were large enough to fill up my 60 megs of space...

so I cut it down to 3 games...

The only one not to work was Riviera-The Promised Land...

It starts for like a split seocond and goes to a starnge screen with static!

(imagine bars of the static you get when chainging your TV channel instead of your Cabell or Sattalite channel)

~other games run exceptionally!~
