It's been a while since we heard from homebrew coder Fol, but now he's back to release a beta version of PSPUAE, the ever-popular Amiga emulator for the PlayStation Portable. Notable feature of the latest release includes the addition of AGA (Advanced Graphics Architecture) support.

Developer's note:

A bit late, but as promised.

Here is the BETA with AGA support. Still needs alot of work (so dont expect great speeds). I will try to make more time to get it working better, still need sound sorted and HDD support.

To use AGA at the moment, you need to select it on first boot under quick start configuration. I am aware that the menu is screwed up on chipset selection. Its on the to fix list.

So they didn't add the one thing people wanted... performance? AGA isn't that important. It was reserved for a select few PSP games on the A1200.
I tried this emulator. I'd absolutely love it to work as I'd never play anything ever again. But they don't seem to want to make any performance boosts... so I'm out.

Good, you ungreatful person.

Why not join the dev team and do it all yourself.

I keep trying to get help with it, but noone wants to help, so you can kiss my arse. Im sick of being nice.

I can't help, I'm too busy working as a freelance programmer, artist and musician for game studios. But I would have if my schedule wasn't so busy. Honestly as I said - if this worked like the other early 90's emulators on the PSP then I wouldn't run anything else on my PSP ever again. It's just the performance, since everything else is perfect with it (states, floppy setup etc).

The Amiga is what got me into the games industry back when I helped work with the big studios back then. It's a different world now.

Anyways, sorry if I came off as harsh. It's just from our POV we've been waiting years for something to come of this emulator and through whatever reason, we're just not there yet. After all that time updates that simply add to the compatibility of the emulator rather than the performance come as a blow. You know?

well that's "convenient" for you then... claiming you *could* do it but wont, but i guess having so many talents and being so wanted comes at a price.

Can you show us any other Amiga emulator that has the performance you want on a 333mhz MIPS based machine please?

I also don't like to get my name involved with homebrew applications incase if affects business relationships. Just because my name appeared in the credits of a certain homebrew game for the DS meant a first party studio of Nintendo had a little wobble.
You have to work in the industry to understand.
So yea. More powerful systems like the N64 (sort of) and PS1 can be emulated on the PSP. I don't know what is holding back UAE.

as was said, that's "convenient" for you. How do you know no one else here works in the industry? "You have to work in the industry to understand." is a damn presumptuous comment to make.

Your comments show a complete lack of understanding of something you claim to have a lot of knowledge on.

PS1 - emulated full speed by Sony, with access to all the resources of a full Sony development behind and full documentation available to them.

N64 - not emulated full speed at all on the PSP, in fact, i'd go as far to say as it runs worse than the ECS-version PSPUAE (you do know there are tonnes of settings to change on PSPUAE to improve performance right?)

Amiga - undocumented, and full of custom chips (unlike the N64) which are incredibly difficult to emulate and cpu intensive - even WinUAE, the most developed Amiga emu is not entirely accurate and wouldnt run on such a low spec machine. Also worked on by a single developer without a MIPS-CPU specific core, a proper dev-kit and a full time job.

if your gonna claim higher-knowledge, know some basic facts on the topic first.

I just realised your name, so this will be my last post to you.

The Amiga is actually very well documented. A friend of mine worked on an Amiga emulator (or did he just contribute, this was around 10 years ago!) and that got full speed on a P3 500mhz. And that was 10 years ago before hardware acceleration was used as it is today. But whatever.

Early PS1 emulation existed before Sony's solution. N64 emulation works quite well too, not playable but the hardware difference between a 16-32bit Amiga and 64bit hardware accelerated "power system" like N64 is a huge stretch.

I've seen people pull out absolutely incredible games and applications that they worked on by themselves for years and released for free too.

well documented? I think Toni Wilen and Richard Drummond may disagree - but hey, what do they know? they arent a 'mysterious' friend who 'might' have worked on a fictional amiga emu , they are just mere *actual* amiga emulator developers, today.

333mhz on a limited devkit vs 500mhz on an open OS? hmm.. if you cant see the massive gap there i dont think you will stay employed in the industry for long.

did you try the non PS1 emu? you may have noticed it ran at around 1-2 fps. yeah. good effort that was. that is better than PSPUAE which can run some programs at 50fps is it?

once again your comments on the n64 being harder to emulate than the Amiga to emulate just reinforce your failure to understand the Amiga's architecture. Please visit amiga.org or EAB with these claims of yours - i would enjoy seeing you shot down in flames by the amiga developers you seem to think you know better than.

i look forward to you posting links of documentation/schematics for paula, agnus, denise and co.

# RE: - — Guest 2010-02-23 16:55

you're out? good riddance.

some really fine and helpful input there, and brilliant 'understanding' of the development of the program.

# Good Job. — Guest 2010-02-23 10:01

Wow, I thought this would never update, Good going, Love the Amiga :) .. Can't wait for the speed to increase, Well done guys :)Maji ~

# Chug chug balloo — Guest 2010-03-14 13:14

Yeah this is excellent, the UI is slick, features are plump - I know a lot of hard work has on into this - presumably I'm not configuring things properly as the performance I get on FlashBack, Pinball Dreams, Another World etc makes it unplayable.

Keep up the good work.
