PSPVBA: Gameboy Advance Emulator v1.2.1

greg | July 23, 2006

Its been a few days since we’ve heard from ZX-81, rest assure he’s been hard at work developing and improving the popular Gameboy Advance emulator, PSPVBA. Earlier today v1.2.0 was released, now comes v1.2.1 only a few hours later! Please note PSPVBA v1.2.1 does not function on FW 2.0 or higher – this release is strictly 1.50 only.

PSPVBA Screenshot

v1.2.1 changes:

  • New feature to save and load a distinct setting file for each games
  • Add option to enable/disable the cache with the Graphical Unit
  • Emulator menus reorganisation (new menu for settings)
  • Bug fix: Emulator menu is now launched on startup
  • Bug fix: no more freeze when exiting the emulator (but HOME button still doesn’t work!)
  • Bug fix: bad refresh of the emulator menu/screen

Download: PSPVBA v1.2.1

You know….there’s a difference between “talking shit” and providing constructive criticism. Seriously, the improvements in the options / menu system are nice, and serve positive purposes in the grand scheme of things…BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE EMULATOR IS STILL TO SLOW TO PLAY GAMES ON. PLEASE focus 100% of your time and energy on working out a way to get the program to run roms at FULL SPEED before you post 2-5 updates a week…the updates mean nothing if we can’t PLAY GAMES WITH IT.

nice work. Checking out the options for releasing a skin pack for this, but it’ll take some work. Lucky for me that 2.6 -> 1.5 downgrader worked like a charm (thanks again) I love what you are trying to do for the scene, but dude, you gotta compact your updates, or you are gonna end up with 100 versions of this file floating around on the internet.

Great work ZX-81, I see that tommydanger has just released a GBA emulator based on your source code.

“tommy’s PSPVBA v0.1″

It has some excellent improvements, which would be good if brought into your emulator.

My suggestion would be to see if you could work together on this project as the updates would come even faster with 2 great minds on the job.

Thanks again

concerning the speed it may never be as fast a a gameboy as it takes imense proccessing power to emulate any system and though the psp has a lot of power it may not be enough but I’m not realy sure but its a vast improvement over the first few emulators that appeared in the begging of all the homebrew gear keep up the good work ZX-81.

maybe its time to grow up

Hmm this might sound extremly negativ, but don’t get me wrong! I LOVE this Emu! Yet ressently the updates have become little an uneffescient (i know i spelled that horribly wrong xD) please focu all your skills on updating the speeeed! Sure it may look good with fancy menues and “bug-ereasations” (is that a word?!xP) yet the emulator fails to do the one thing people download for! All we want is to play gba games in 100% speed… screw the fancy menues and bug cleaning for the time being please…

I do not have sound with PSPVBA version 1.2.1, but version 1.2.0 had sound. I am puzzled.

I have deleted the emulator and reinstalled it and still no sound.

Can someone help me?
