gp2x - Sony Playstation / PSX emulation via psx4gp2x beta2

[olimopoli]

hey does Ratchet and Clank and any Spyro psx games work on the emulator well?

[olimopoli]

[scarmullet]

One thing I must know. If you have a game on multiple discs like FFVII, when you get to the end of a disc, how do you switch the disc image?

[harrymason4523]

Where i can download the emulator?

[thewiininja]

On Zodttd website...search it on google

They make Amazing emulators especially the ipod touch/iphone emus

[Mar10Man94]

if you specifically want to play psx games, get a psp. but if you want to have all the other systems on the same device, then get a gp2x.

but i find myself more productive using a DS with homebrew. much more active development groups. also since i don't need but nes, snes, and gb/gbc games.

[MoonOvIce]

That's because for the PSP, if you convert the PSX files to the EBOOT format the PSP is pretty much running the games natively and not emualting them.

[johnniefive80]

EBOOT isn't a format. unrelated to emulation.

most people believe emulation means an exact emulation of a full machine's inner workings. thats not necessary unless you want it to be museum quality.

most emulators put onto psp etc, are ports, they are not usually the original creation of the person porting them. Therefore, they may not run at their full potential.

also, all you say is "N64 is impossible" you don't understand emulation .

[xcryinginrainxx]

Look at all those random tags.

And look at how many views you have.

[vladtepesdrac]

btw, what is the song in this video??? I really love it!!

[fergusshowman]

then check out my vid, gp2x f200 review

[amiga2000]

nice video. did you have the f100 version also? planning on getting the pandora?

[Blaxxx2]

I was thinking of getting the new GP2X, but the things that turned me off were the lack of a good PSX emulator, the d-pad that looked like it managed to be worse than a Playstation D-pad, and no wifi.

Wasn't there supposed to be a completely new version to the GP2X some time ago?

I don't mean one that got a touch screen and d-pad either, I mean like a whole system upgrade.

[amiga2000]

It's called Pandora at the moment. it's in its prototyping stages as of this writing. hopefully everyone will see a production version in 2-3 months.

[Blaxxx2]

I think I might save up for it.

$320 is a bit pricey to buy right away though.

Thanks for the anwser.

[CCmachine]

when you want fancy things like WiFi and good playstation, N64 etc etc emulation, theres a price to pay...

[Blaxxx2]

Actually about the playstation emulation, I'd have to say you won't get much better than a PSP, just because of the fact that Sony made it.

I'll most likely get a Pandora to replace my PSP in the future though. I doubt the PSP will get any further with it's N64 emulation than where it is right now.

[amiga2000]

...continued.

Obviously if the firmware shuffle or multiple firmware thing doesn't bother you, then I'd personally get a PSP myself (if I can't have both).

But since I hardly play anything made in the last several years, my psp would be just a homebrew / emulator no different than the gp2x. Except it'd have better build quality and can be replaced faster if it broke.

[CCmachine]

"no different"

wrong.

the gp2x has waay more content... homebrew, emulators and the shiz. this is more of an experiment than anything else, PSX is a tad too pwerful to be emulated on the gp2x well.

[amiga2000]

I don't know why ppl get so worked up with this sux or that rocks, etc. Buy them both and be done with it.

it's hard to beat the gp2x's simplicity with drag and drop of emulators and games onto cheap SD cards. Yeah, you can get a PSP and run the same thing. But I hate thinking about how the next version of firmware is going to break this or that... or have to load diff firmware for what i'm going to do that day.

[TheNumber4q]

Yeah you're so right. The emphasis should be on emulating great games on portable consoles. OpenTTD being one example.

[fithry12]

why the fuck waste 150 for someting that u can do with a psp??plus psp has more commorcial games than this crap???just pay 170 for the new psp slim and u can do all the craps that this piece of shit can do in full speed!! plus psp commorcial games are fucking awsome with god damn nice graphics

GPX2 IS A WASTE OF MONEY

[fishbong]

The PSP is not a full featured Linux computer like the GP2X is. The GP2X has networking capabilities, you can host files and even Websites on it. You can use it as a media center, streaming video to your TV from your PC or LanDisk. Using the cradle, you can connect USB Gamepads to it for multiplayer. Or a mouse. Or a WiFi extension, harddisk, any USB gadget. The new version even has a touchscreen. It had TV-out long before the PSP.

[LEGOmationworks]

I belive that is a burn.....wait wait, WiFi also? Now I want it more than ever!

[TheNumber4q]

Jack of all trades...

[CCmachine]

nope. the '2x runs NES, SNES, Genesis, MAME.... perfectly, great video and audio functions, and the best homebrew we've ever seen on a portable.

ever tried homebrew on a PSP? hahahaha!

[TheNumber4q]

The GP2X SUX ASS! All you can do is run emulators and ROMS on it and 99% of that is illegal anyway.

So stop trying to emulate consoles with graphics out of your league and stick to SNES and Spectrum games!

[LEGOmationworks]

It's not Illegal, ever heard of the esa?

[TheNumber4q]

ever heard of GPL?

[vikvanrusselt]

the song in this video is a remix of:

Emma Shapplin - Cuerpo Sin Alma

[TheNumber4q]

Ok, where can I download this console. Is it on Amazon? No. Why isn't it at Amazon?

[TheNumber4q]

Costs too much for what it is.

[xaarock]

really slow emulation, I could get really far in g-darius with that speed :P

[nimblened]

people who keep saying gp2x shouldn't bother with 3d are really bothering me, this is only in beta and already I think it's looking really good. However I agree it shouldn't be compared to a psp but the abilities to impliment 3d aspects to games really broadens the amount of things you will be able to do with the gp2x... which is the point of it over other handhelds.

[kupomogli]

At that speed I could one life G Darius.

-andrew- -kupomogli-

[laesperanzapaz]

i think 3d games should stay off gp and let it be on psp. [that rhymes!]

the gp cant handle this.

[charliecon13]

wum just keep both i say

[fuzzywzhe]

> i think 3d games should stay off gp and let

> it be on psp. [that rhymes!]

>

> the gp cant handle this.

It's a good bet the GP2X WIZ can - it runs at 3 times the speed and has 3d hardware acceleration.

[gamezonic]

fuzzywzhe eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh that does ryhme

[Virtual3oy]

ok, so 3D PSX roms run preety good, but 2D roms run at full speed ?(Megaman X4/X5/X6, Castlevania SOTN)

[kompis1991]

you said it was fast i dident saw much fps it looked slow or was it your cam

[R4Zi3L]

more ps emulators :P

[DavidBeoulve]

Amiga2000, what music is this? I want to go nab it.

[amiga2000]

Sorry, I posted but didn't make the video. Does anyone else know?

[shadohawk]

I have a PSP, but I am currently waiting on delivery of one of these. (Should be today or tomorrow.) PSP is a bit more expensive. I have to re-encode my movies to watch on the PSP. And SD is much cheaper than the MS. So more space to take things around. Also this runs on 2 AA batts. Yeah, a PSP recharges, but what happens when you are on a LONG flight? Just grab more batts from your bag. Personally I think it is great to see someone with the smarts to make something like this emulator.

[sonoshadow]

I hope you mind that you can't emulate n64

[thesekids]

wats it the font u used i need it!

[amiga2000]

I didn't make these videos but on the mac there's one that looks just like it called Cracked. It's a default / built-in font.

[picaraul]

Yeah, I quote Inferno.

PSP will ownz this thing.

[nkmtech]

yeah, the psp is so kewl that there's not even a descent port of mame... xmame psp? puleeze.

[Aquahammer15]

I would rather pay 200 dollars for something that dosen't give me headaches every time i go to download a movie/ROM/music/anything. Something that doesn't require me to mess around with the firmware. Something that can play roms better, faster and more securely. Something that doesn't make me look like an ignorant 12yr boy. Something that I don't have to pay $xx.xx for a jacked up memory card. Not to mention the games suck and who wants to pay money for movies?

[pidgin]

Sure, PSP will own it if you want to buy old PSX games.

But if you want *manufacturor-supported* multi-system emulation out of the box (c64, amiga, psx, st, mame, gameboy, mega drive, snes, lynx, mac, dos..), built-in DivX/Xvid playback, MP3 playback, SD card support, cheap TV-out hardware, lots of free (legal) games, and new peripherals like the USB cradle (add keyboard, mouse, external drives) then you should probably go with the GP2X.

[Inferno20]

If you want psx games on a handheld buy a psp. Sony is relasing a download service for psx games for psp.

[amiga2000]

That'll be cool to see that. Will there be a way to play games you already own or would you have to pay for the same PSX games again?

[newkemall]

I dont think it will improve much more, thats about the gp2x limit its already overclocking just to reach that.

[amiga2000]

Sounds right. Do you know if this version was written in assembly?

[benchodbosrino]

It looks good, a big jerky but I'm hoping it will improve soon.

[Ulwan25]

great!

[amiga2000]

Here's a video of G Darius running on a realy Playstation so you can get a since of how fast the GP2X is emulating the PSX:

[shadohawk]

But it's only the opening video. If there was some gameplay, that would be a better judge of playability.
