pSX v1.13 released

[roxas]

This isn't a spanish lesson!

No espanol lingua!

I've warned you before about silly posts, roxas, and about failing to have respect for your fellow members.

I can only think you're referring to psxonetwo's post, although it was made 2 1/2 months ago and ten posts previously in this thread, but since you've completely failed to indicate what post you're actually referring to, who knows?

While this is an English speaking forum, people do sometimes post here in other languages because they have no alternative: they're not English speakers, and I see no reason to bar them from the forum for that. Spanish is a very widely spoken language, and there must be many Spanish speaking pSX users who speak no English.

As long as people aren't using languages most members (and admins) don't understand in order to make posts that contravene forum rules, I think we'll tolerate that: with Spanish or Portuguese speakers, for instance, one of the Brazilian guys will often answer them and make sure they're not contravening rules. psxonetwo has posted here before, and it's been made clear he can.

I'll chalk this up to ignorance. But we don't want to see bigotry in this forum.

Hey pSX Author if it continues like this the pSX it will be the best of all the psxone emulators.
Great work e thanks.

[psicomaniaco]

In my opinion, it already is. May not be the most compatible yet, but its the one that plays better. The best feature IMHO is the fact that it removes the slowdowns of the games. No other emulator does this, and not even the PS2 (the PS3 removes slowdowns, but not as good as the pSX emulator).

This emulator makes games like Castlevania and R-Type Delta more fun because of this. And the game Delta Force Urban Warfare, that is almost unplayable on the real console and on EPSXE (because the framerate is so low that ruins the gameplay), is completely playabe in here.

Last, i like the fact that I don't have to tinker with lots of configs. Heck, at the default config I play most of my games without worrying which 'plugin' should I use.


Connectix VGS was the best PSX emulator ever IMHO. pSX feels soo much like a spiritual successor of VGS that it imediatelly got a special place in my heart.

Does it really? i thought this emulator was supposed to be about a realistic pure ps1 experience that's why there's no hi-res support

[Gamesoul Master]

The most common cause for this, AFAIK, is because pSX has more resources to work with (in terms of hardware), so games that bear slowdown due to the limitations of the PS1 hardware don't have the same problem on pSX.

Part of it may also have to do with coding. Since the PS1 isn't well-documented, pSX will differ in some ways from the real PS1. Usually this leads to compatibility issues, but there are also scarce times where this leads to it handling a game *better* because of coding that may interact better with a game than the PS1 is programmed to. You may consider it to be similar to 20/20 hindsight. In the pursuit of making pSX "as accurate as possible", times come when it's actually *more* accurate than the PS1. Think of it as making pSX function like the PS1 is *supposed* to function, with the fact of whether the PS1 meets its goal being a moot point.

Usually, I'd say it's more that first reason though... XD. There's an old discussion about this somewhere, so if you're motivated/curious enough, you could always search for that.

One of the best resources used by many developers for the PSX/PSOne was a document written by Joshua Walker who not only stripped and chip read an PSOne down to the bones but dumped the BIOS and fogured out some of what it did. Sadly Joshua's document barely scratched the surface leaving many holes in how things worked. Still his documents found on many emulation technical document sites is one of the most expansive and comprehensive guide around.

remenber that spanish is the second lang in orden more speaked afther inglish or course.

pd: sorry mi inglish is no good buy i try it my ortograpy is bad but i can understan very good the message...

[patrickp]

That's cool, nem - we don't really encourage people posting in languages other than English here, because it's difficult for the admins to be sure that the content of their posts doesn't contravene the forum rules. However, with Spanish and Portuguese-only speakers, we do have Spanish and Portuguese-speaking members who will vet their posts and try to help them, so that's Ok if that's their only option.

Hello. I did not know who to ask the question, asking apologize if it is not an appropriate topic. My English is not very good. I would like to ask if we are to get new version of psx emulator which will support more than 2 players.

[Gamesoul Master]

Don't count on it. It's possible I suppose, but pSX Author is busy doing other things with pSX right now, and that's not quite a high-demand item, since not many games support it.

[arthur071169]

just wondering if development has now drawn to a close on this emu? I have been out of the loop for quite some time, and thought I would catch up with some of the emus I have not kept 'up to date'.. Are there any further plans for this? Has the codestream been taken over by another party?
Regards,
Arthur.

[Gamesoul Master]

pSX is still alive. In fact, v1.14 isn't too far from completion, though it's more a matter of having time to finish it than anything else. It'll probably be a little while yet, but it *is* coming eventually... lol.

[slowbeef]

Hey Gamesoul, I have a replicatable bug for pSX 1.13 in Policenauts. I posted about it in both Compatibilty and Help & Support. Would it be appropriate to post it in Emulator problems (further research indicates it indeed looks like an emulator issue)?

[Gamesoul Master]

Honestly, it'd be best not to create another thread about it (certainly not in Help & Support), but instead update the thread you already started with the additional information you have. If you try making another thread about it, you'll most likely get complaints about having multiple threads on the same topic.

Thank you for asking first about it though. It really is appreciated to see that level of respect.
