PSP-VE v1.0.2 - Vectrex emulator for PSP - Image 1


Straight from homebrew developer zx-81 is a new emulator designed to run on Sony's PlayStation Portable. PSP-VE v1.0.2 is based on the same Vectrex emulator created for Linux and Windows by the author Valavan Manohararajah.

Vectrex on the PSP was released about a week ago and arrived with issues with audio and performance. PSP-VE v1.0.2 solves that with a completely re-written engine for sound and an optimized "rotate 90' view" addresses the concerns with the fluidness of visuals. Other changes include:
  • Major speed improvements: 6809 emulation, vector rendering, remove vector cash (buggy and time consuming)
  • Sound emulation completely rewritten and inspired from 8910 driver of xmame.
  • The rotate 90' view is now much faster and it is used as default render mode.
  • Save state modification, it is now faster to save state (but previously saved games are not compatible with this new version!)
  • Add .vec and .gam file extention as valid rom extention
  • Add option to change color between gray and blue
As with all homebrew applications from zx-81, usage and installation instructions can be coursed through within the bundled documentation. Note that the source included in our downloads is under version 2 of the GNU public license, so developers wishing to extract some code must read the text file called Copying. Enjoy!

YES!! ZX: Thanks for taking on the Vectrex.

The other Vectrex PSP emulator looked promising, but without sound it's just hard to stay interested very long. Are you going to have support for overlays? I hope so as it gives each game it's personality. Also, I made some custom wallpaper/atrac3/icons for the Vectrex that you are welcome to use if you like. Just let me know if you do use them :) They can be found on my webpage: http://s*****man.roarvgm.com/videogame/psp/psp-homebrew/index.html Thanks again and keep up the great work. You give us a reason to keep using the PSP!
