Here's the latest revision of the Java-based PlayStation Portable emulator project for Windows, JPCSP.

• revision 2190:
  • 2 syscalls (sceGameUpdate) to ignore
• revision 2189:
  • A lot of improvements and code clean-up to better support the screen/window resizing.
  • The option to enable/disable the viewport filter has been removed: it is automatically activated when the window is resized.
  • The screen can be resized using the 1x, 2x and 3x options from the menu or by simply resizing the window with the mouse. The aspect ratio is preserved.
  • The resizing is now working when used combined with the "Saved GE to texture" or "Only GE" options. The screen looks better when using one of these 2 options.
  • The option "Use native shader CLUTs" should also be compatible.
  • The "black square" problem on the top left corner as reported for some games should also be fixed.
• revision 2188:
  • Improved compatibility of sceKernelLoadModule: added delay when loading an HLE module.
  • Added debug logging to the display to track the "black screen" problem reported by some users.

Developer's note:

JPCSP is the most advanced PlayStation Portable emulator, allowing you to play your PSP games on a PC. Jpcsp has been started in July 2008 and is developed by a small but active team.

Even though JPCSP is written in Java, it can already reach 100% PSP speed on a lot of commercial games... and the emulator performance is constantly increasing.

Jpcsp takes full advantage of dual-core processors, matching the PSP dual-core architecture. Even a quad-core can give a small performance improvement by leaving free CPU cores for the Java JIT Compiler and the graphics cache.

NVIDIA graphic cards are fully supported and JPCSP can take advantage of powerful GPUs. Problems have been reported with ATI/AMD graphic cards: keep you Catalyst driver up-to-date as new releases might fix issues.

The project is still a beta release, but currently more than 200 games are already playable. See the list here.

Video and Atrac3 sound are supported, but only on Windows 32bit systems. Atrac3+ sound is not directly supported as there is currently no free codec available for this format. However, Atrac3+ can be decoded automatically onWindows 32bit when installing SonicStage.
