PSPVBA v1.2.4 – Gameboy Advance Emulator Update

greg | August 3, 2006

ZX-81 continues clockin’ grip with PSPVBA v1.2.4 – for both FW 1.50 and 2.XX! As you probably know by now PSPVBA is ported from VisualBoyAdvance, the Nintendo Gameboy Advance handheld emulator.

v1.2.4 changelog:

  • Improve the code of the graphic stuff (up to 3% faster)
  • Improve the code of the ARM emulator (faster)
  • Add BIOS file support (see the README)
  • Add option to adjust the sound quality
  • Add option to delete files (in the file selector)
  • Bug fix in the save settings code
  • Merge the code for 1.5FW and 2.xFW

Still not perfect but it’s getting there… Great work ZX-81!

Download: PSPVBA v1.2.4 – includes two zip archives (for 1.50 and 2.XX)

- source: ZX-81’s website

You know, this emu is kinda cool but honestly, why are you wasting time with the gameboy when you can be working on something that truly reaches beyond the psp’s limits.

Hey ZX-81! How about working on a 64 emulator. It’ll be well worth the work and a big donation will certaintly be in order from us psp-hacks fans so how bout it?
Thanks

A Nintendo 64 Emulator that is.

Yeah, nice idea. But he’d have to get comfortable with dynamic recompilation, which I hear is tough. Him and StrmnNrmn could maybe reflect ideas and come up with two N64 versions. :P That’s an idea.

hey, is this emulator worth using yet?? also, instead of releasing an update every 2 days, why not just wait a month and suprise everyone with a kick ass update??

Ummm… working on an emulator that works mainly with 2D is completely different from working on an emulator that works with 3D, so it’s possible that ZX-81 may not be doing the same work if he helped with daedelus, even though it’s possible he may be capapble of doing such work, it’s not the same as PSPVBA…

@Ace1860

why should he drop a hot emulator like gba to help develop an emulator that they don’t even release games for anymore?

Great idea, but I tried 5 roms on it and its soooo sloooooooowwww… its unplayable

The speed certainly is still lagging in a way. Especially for Pokemon. The sound still sucks. I wonder why i even play the roms on PSP. PSP games are there to play on the given platform. Damn. Why din i think of that. Back to CS!Ohs. (read as SEE ASS OWES)

A lot of peeps here complain about this project as being useless. He has a goal to accomplish and he’s not giving up. To stop development is to give up. And he my friend….. is not a quitter!

i have been playing zelda minish cap and it works well enough to play. in some areas it laggs abit but in others it works perfectly. quite alot of the time i find it runs too quick. cut the top of the screen and abit of the bottom, good tip!

ppl is there a chance a emulator with roms could brick ur psp

will you ppl shut up about the N64, it’s not that great in my opinion there are very few good games for the 64 and I think that if you can’t prove mathematically that the GBA can’t be done on PSP than I believe it’s possible, until ZX.81 hits a barrier he cannot cross I’ll believe, he’ll try because he also believes and if a coder that good belives he must have a reason, I think if it were impossible he would know, let’s wait for the GBA strmmrn (or whatever) is working on the 64 and I think it’s better that way because at least we have both, I mean how would you feel if suddenly he joined ZX on the GBA and left the 64 for later you wouldn’t like that very much and neither would those that want the GBA so it’s best to keep it like this until one is finished.

well you could have put in the Post that the idea was after he finished, because if you don’t ppl will not think that is what you mean, sry if I misread anything but it wasn’t stated.

Where do you guys download GBA roms!

I think for a gba emulator to work on the psp , it should be reswrtitten from scratch , vba is written to run on pc’s mostly , i remember first time gba emulation even being low on 1 Ghz pc’s and more , so a 333 Mhz psp running vba at full speed seems very difficult ….

I’m no coder so , maybe I’m dead wrong , good luck zx
