why not work with exophase

and why not...

They should work together, zx-81 could do the menu and stuff, and the other guy should work on making it a bit faster and a bit better sound quality

1st

with the new gba "fullspeed" emulator released by Exophase...pspvba is dead for sure.....

Thank you

You did an outstanding job for the community! Keep up the great work!

You the man!

Thanks Zx-81 for bringing us hope for a GBA emu. You never gave up and brought us new stuff. Now you are passing the torch w/ class...

Thanks for your great work Zx-81. I can't wait to see your next app ;)

does gPSP work with gta 2.6

????

thanks...

For all your hard work! I have a 2.6 and do not wish to downgrade. So, rest easy knowing that you created the best gba emulator for psp that I will (probably) ever have. Good luck with whatever you're doing next. One small request: 2600 emulator? Thank you and good night.

dont give up

hey zx-81 dont give up you could help exophase with menu, save state, firmskipped,screen resize, and make work with all the game i still use your gba because all the game i like work only on VBA PSP emu.

hey..

Thanks man. I have to say your emulator was and is the most used homebrew program I have ever used on my PSP. You kept me from getting bored over the summer and I got to play various Fire Emblem titles at FULL SPEED with YOUR emu. You've done a great job to the community so thanks for everything, whether you stay or go is your choice.

1st post

make a 2600 and NGPC emulator? please?

noo

wow, we made him stop working on it, i thought this would be a competition...o well, go for a N64 man!!

just 1

problem i cant find teh gba_bios.bin

oh

Well ZX ur still a legend in the psp homebrew scene, u rock! even tho vba mite never reach full speed, is a port after all, hopefully you havent given US up lol! also, I agree to most if not all comments posted here, how about that basilisk? it still have random crashes, just a thought if you ever get bored and want to do something :]

heh

great job i hope you keep working

Really Appreciate it....

I really appreciated your work and really like the way you stepped down. Your's was a port, so don't think low of yourself in any way as this one was built from the ground up to work specifically for the PSP! :) You will always be on my top devs list man! Hope you start on something new, or continue working on a past project :) Really love your work and keep it up man! :)

Tomzilla gpsp works with eloader on 2.6

Tried it myself with devhook, not sure where you got the idea it didnt work. And why would you not want to downgrade (assuming you dont have a ta82)? I was perfectly happy with eloader before using 1.5. Now I could never go back. You oughta downgrade and find out what your missing. You can always upgrade to 2.6 again.

awww

It's always painful to see someone go off like that

Thanks a ton

this was by far the best for many many months. life progresses as does all software. its nice to know that other things have taken your place, and that you have seen this. lets all hope the talent makes a move into some other area of homebrew. good luck with future projects on any platform and thank you for breathing much needed life into psp homebrew.

zx-81

thanks for all your job to homebrew. Maybe you can work on a Sega Saturn emulator for PSP or a psx emu or a n64 emu or a n-gage emu you have alot of choices. thanks

Zx-81

nocomment

Later Dude

Great while it lasted... goodluck with future programming. VBA was one of the best emu. ever.

nice work

vba was the most use program on my psp , and i still use it to play my favorite gba games thanks mAn........................

zx-81

Man, great work. You set the stantard for "speedy" GBA emulation. It was only a matter of time until you were surpassed, but you sat on the throne for a long time. It's nice to see that you took it with dignity and...(puts on ass-kissing boots)....there appears to be a lack of a decent MAME emulator. There are many things in the PSP homebrew scene that are far from perfect. There are always other things you can do. A salute to you from me, Arias. Good job.

#20

Learn how to spell.....

Your sooo stupid your going to give up just like that. The Nintendo 64 emu is really the one that it not going to get anywhere. Continue your work.....its too late to stop. You've almost got it.

Right choice Zx

Yeah, it's hard to beat those dynamic recompilers now a days. As said earlier, we still have emulators we could use(Linux?! I kid

GJ HI GAMEFAQ MEMBERS

PSPVBA is much better than the 100%fullspeed-gameboy advance emulator! because the fulspeed emulator havent any menu or something. only the romlist!!! This is pritty bull!

Team up with exophase

u and exo could get gpSP together twice as fast if you worked together. And as for #20. you should be banned for using that sort of disrespect and language.

To #30...

What good is a fancy menu with unplayable framerate. Besides gpsp is only an early beta. Be patient, Im sure there will be a menu in good time.

at everyone saying he should team up with exo. no. stfu. you honestly have no clue. zx ported vba from the PC - he did a very good job... but he maynot know how to program a dynamic recompiler etc. i know i don't.

I REQUEST FOR # 20 for an IP BAN

IP BAN # 20 PLS.

Thanks Zx-81, thanks for your great talents and generosity to share that with rest of us. No matter what you do, just know that our respect, and my personal respect and gratitude will follow you. Thank You!! ... and #20, you piece of worthless crap, finish your cereal and start your homework

we appreciate the work that you did!

Don't Give Up.

You are a creator 1st. And. a programmer 2nd. The best creators tend to have the most creations, the most failures, the most critics, and the most profound success. I hope that your decision to abort your work is not based on the criticisms and derogatory comments made when another creation came out. You are not competing with anyone else. When you embarked on the project in the first place, you did it to further your own knowledge and increase your OWN growth and capacity for programming. Continue, in this endeavor. The worst thing that will happen is that you will become more knowledgeable and more powerful creator. Never ever give up. You create to EXPRESS, not to IMPRESS. With that in mind, compliments AND rejection are both variables that are irrelevant to the creation process. Please reconsider and continue to work on this project. Even if you dont want to release it. It's important that YOU finish it as much as humanly possible for you.

Rigo bows curtiously to Zx-81

Thank you.

yep sega saturn would be great and we know it would run on PSP since we are going to have a psx emu, or anything that would do VOIP because i cant wait to use my psp as a phone thank Zx

THANK YOU zx-81!!!

If it wasn't for you, there probably still would not be a ColecoVision or Intellivision emu for PSP. They were my first consoles. Also, a 2600 emu would be awesome. *hint* ;) Good luck with future endeavors! You are a gentleman and a scholar!

I hope Zx-81 will be able to read this

Zx-81, i think it is a good idea to give up the old things, but it is not the end for you Zx-81 because you can begin with this new technique JIT. Exophase has his unique style and coding and so do you, Zx-81. I agree that Exophase new emulator is powerful, but it is not stable yet. With Zx-81's experience, you can guide Exophase with stuffs that he may not know yet like helping here and there to make it more powerful and more stable as well as its compatility for more games. one's knowledge is like a drop of water in the middle of ocean. So, using this chance, Zx-81 you shall at least have a look at his source code and you may be able to give him some advice. Whether it is your emulator or not, just taking a part in its development is enough to be appreciated by us, the leechers :P. Anyway, keeping up the good work for both Zx-81 and Exophase. This is only a beginning, not the end.

Meh..

I agree, Zx should work with Exophase, it could turn out to be promising.. but Maybe ZX is secretly working on something at this very moment.. Regardless, PSPVBA was the first decently-working GBA Emu, and you did a great job with it. And last, I Like pie.

#20

You're the noob, the way that Exophase decided to code his project is by making an emulator from scratch, that's why Exo's is faster. zx-81 kind of did a port of another emulator that's already on the PC, before he started his port, he already knew that it would be impossible to get it to full speed. He made the right decision to stop coding his emulator, even though he did a great job on it, it's obvious that Exophases' emulator is more efficient.

Whether Zx wants to work with Exophase is totally up to him, don't be givin him those i think he should work with Exophase stuff. Just give him ur regards and gratitude for giving us his time and releasing his work to the public. Anyways, ZX, thanks for all you have done for us with ur work.

Sigh....

I noticed something. It seems like the people who keep giving the bad comments regarding the developers are either a *****ing hater or some stupid ***** that Sony sends to divide the community. I just hope that Sony doesn't do such thing since it doesn't want to ruin its reputation by doing cowardly things like this.

I will miss the fast updates

But I hope he will at least pursue other projects in the PSP community. And since when was there a full speed GBA emulator. Can anyone shed some light on that one?

yeah

seeing ALL the positive comments makes me feel all warm inside awwwww anyways, see zx? u rock and u always will be in our heart, leave a message? goin to bed, cya all later

Thank you for trying

Really, without people like you, homebrew would suck. Thank you.

This thread made me kinda sad.. I've gotta say, I was really skeptical about PSPVBA at first but Zx-81 pushed the VBA source a lot further than I thought anyone could. The code he had to work with just isn't exactly a model of efficiency (although the interpreter is probably above average by interpreter standards). It's funny, when PSPVBA was first released I was in the middle of doing gpSP and it was a really long way from getting anywhere.. Here I thought no one was going to bother with GBA for a while but suddenly I was under a tremendous amount of pressure to get something out before someone else did something better than I could and make all of my work meaningless. I guess this motivated me to work a little bit harder than I would have otherwise, impossible to know for sure though. Course, someone can still release a much faster emulator than mine tomorrow, that'd be pretty amusing in a dramatic kinda way ;D For those saying we should work together.. well, both projects are open source, unfortunately I don't really work that well with people directly but we HAVE been sharing ideas and some of his advice has already proved quite helpful. There are still definitely things I have to learn from those with more hands on PSP experience than I have.

Well, I'm gonna fall in line and offer my bit of thanks for PSPVBA. Zx-81, Thanks. I was able to brag a bit to my friends about all the things i could do with my PSP and PSPVBA was the last nail in their coffin. So, one more time. Thanks for all your hard work, it was greatly appreciated.

Well, I hope to see more zx-81 projects

PSPVBA is the only emulator that lets me play GTA:Advance on my PSP, even if it is at an unplayable speed. I do like gpSP and I can't wait for the next release. Both Exophase and zx-81 are great developers, and I look to such devs as inspirations and such (I'm a newb PSP dev).

Thanks

Thanks for all the hope you gave me and friends and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do next! Even if it is eatin cheetoes of off your stomach! GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Aww....

Great work on PSPVBA. I mean, it's the only emu I can play Bit Generations on. But I hope you work on other emus as well. Still, all of you that dissed ZX-81 when gpSP came out should go to hell.

1st post

Thanx for your time and dedication.

Looking forward your future efforts

Thank you for all of your work on the PSPVBA. The gpSP is remarkable homebrew, and yours is just as remarkable,as well as pioneering. I use both applications to run a variety of games. I hope you'll stay on the homebrew scene, as I've enjoyed your "old-school" emulators (MSX, Atari, Intellivision, and so on). If you still get into old-school consoles, have you ever thought about one for the Atari Jaguar? Thanks again.

J. hunt

thanks 4 ur time ZX81 i hope you keep working for the scene!

Heya.

Yea, I wondered what would happen to the PSPVBA with the release of Exophase's emulator. You should know that even though you couldn't bring it full speed, you did a REMARKABLE job. You were the definition of hope and determination. ;) Looking forward to your future accomplishments~!

Exophase & ZX81

ZX81, you did an amazing job nonetheless, you pushed limits and took it to new levels with the PSPVBA; Most likely heard this heaps, but there is still plenty of room in the psp homebrew scene for talented people such as yourself. It's also good to see Exophase's opinion, taking it from a mature approach and also learning a thing or two from ZX81 himself as well.. As just a PSP Homebrew user, using all these tools for free from such people. Im grateful.

we love u

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Dont listen to any of those little kids that try to put you down when you were the only one with a close to full speed emulator. Your'e the best! No matter what happens with the gpsp(keep up the good work on that too) You will still be in ALL our hearts. Goodwork, and Farewell PSPVBA We will always miss you both. (Hugs and Kisses)!!!!!!

wise

There was a limit to how far you could push PSPVBA on PSP without rewriting almost all of it, and unfortunately he quickly reached it. PSPVBA was a lost cause, many people realized it and were getting desperate about GBA emulation right? I disabled video rendering and the framerate was still often below 10 fps, which means that even with a perfect video renderer you still needed CPU emulation to go 6 times faster, that's impossible to achieve via quick fixes on the source code. The work ZX-81 did, however was not wasted, he probably learned a thing or two and can use that experience to enhance any other project, there are still a lot emulators that need a speed boost!

COLLABORATE

ZX-81 WHY DONT YOU AND HIM JUST HELP EACH OTHER AND MAKE A WICKED EMU, MAKE A GUI OR SOMETHIN, TWO HEADS IS BETTER THAN ONE

.

Thanks for all your work, zx-81. Hopefully you won't disappear. You're very talented; there's plenty of things you can do. Working with Exophase would be awesome, or if you took his source code and tinkered with it to give us resized picture and more features. I love and use your calculate emulators, so hopefully you won't run off. Either way, thanks much for your dedication to the scene.

ZX-81

Ah, nice work until now! I'm sure you'll come up with some other interesting releases in the future ZX-81! Thanks for your dedication to the emu scene!

oh man, just buy a ds-lite and all your problems are away *gg* its 1000 times better on a ds-lite!!

Eh?

I don't understand what all the fuss is about, pspvba never ran anywhere near full speed.

hmmmmm

collaboration is not a good idea, the difference in skills is just too great.

well done

i see no shame in you giving in. you have done a commendable job with VBA, gPSP is undoubtably better but that is only the future, you have provided us with a very good emulator in the mean time. I have no doubt that you put your heart and soul into that emulator, as im sure has the gPSP emulator. therefore i congratulate you both. Farewell, i hope to see you do another homebrew piece.

>>

Huge thanks to all of you for your very kind comments :). @all: I give up on pspvba, but it doesn't mean i will stop all developments on PSP :). I don't leave the PSP community, i still have many homebrew ideas and projects so don't worry, i will continue to spam you with daily releases lol ! @Exophase: Many thanks to your kindness, i'm sure you will develop the best GBA emu ! keep it up ! Zx

Mental

Thanks a million ZX-81 for the work and time you have put in to this community, looking forward to your next works.

you re great anyway!

bye!

sad 2 c u go

good

Im sick of seeing his useless updates.

dont go

shut up bryan. cmon man u should work w/exophase

Thanks

Thanks zx - you're doing the right thing - I look forward to seeing your next project

@77

alright, try coding something better urself thanks for all the work you've done on VBA. gpSP may have better speed but your emulator has far better compatibility. Thank you for what you've done for homebrew to cheer you up, i'll take this from gpSP's readme: Q) I don't like this emulator. Are there other alternatives? A) Yes. Try PSPVBA by Zx-81 (http://zx81.dcemu.co.uk/). It probably has vastly superior compatability across the board.

DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not work on a Dynamic Recomplier i'm sure if you did your emulator would be running full speeed Then we would have a choice of emu's to choose from.

insurance

Make sure that if you want zx-81 to see that you want him to continue his work, DIGG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!

You did some great work yur gba emulator was the first playable 1.

oh yeah and uhh who are these F***'s anyway?

Yeah i'd like people to also disregard any bs towards zx-81. These kids with absolutely no life come and talk crap about him. If the article isn't something your into don't comment. we'd rather not see your cry baby whining on the forums. Instead go wack off to pass the time. Don't insult a man who dedicated alot of time and effort for the soul reason to contribute and gives some other guys something to do while in line at the dmv. So thanks zx-81 but don't give up; your emu's great and has the potential to be evan better.

porting

Thanks for all the work you put into your emu zx, Those of us that arent 12 and complete @ssholes really appreaciate it. Since your emu was a port, you obviously know about porting, ever think about porting pc games or an amiga emu?

zx81 is a failure

ur emu is slower.. thank god ur quitting

to # 84

IP ban request

Thanks for your work and time.

# 84

are you (word deleted because the next word kinda sums it up) retarded or something. See my earlier post 82, if you know how to read; you moron.

:(

Sad to see Zx-81 discontinue his gba emulator, but it's good to see that Exophase is working on one.

# 85 & 87

RIGHT ON!!!

DIGG IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stress this enough people get this seen by zx-81 and let him know how much we want him to continue. Digg the article.

.

Sad to See him go :( Thanks for the work you did though Zx. I loved your emulator :D

You have my respect

It good to see that Zx-81 knew that competing with a better codebase was a waste of time, and that he was better off spending his time elsewhere rather than forever standing in somebody else's shadow.

HOPE

You gave of us all hope for our pitiful PSPs....now we can actually play games on them. Keep up the coding.

Oh Men

Oh com'n continue to Do it and beat the gPSP. PSPVBA im gonna revive you! We'll help if you want..... NO THE GREAT MENU OF PSPVbA will be dead... T_T

Great programmer of humble intentions

Thanks and great appreciation go to you Zx-81 for your great skills as a programmer and your unorthodox quick updates.These things set you apart from the rest.I would hope for you to continue on your quest with pspvba.Maybe assist exophase as he has noted that you already have.Other options as well as these lie in your path and we at the very least can say that you give us a need to come back to this site and check what surprises you will have in store for us.From one humble man to another.

sorry to see that pspvba is dead i was rely happy to hear about gpsp with full speed but i didnt think of what would happen to pspvba...you did a great job. and...#84 how bout i see u make an emulator as fast as pspvba
