Once again it’s Yoshihiro for the win… Yoshihiro’s PSP port of DeSmuME — the Nintendo DS emulator — just moved on up to BETA 7. Most notably it packs the familiar speed increase and for you SolidSnake117; Yoshihiro has implemented the ‘forgotten’ cursor.

DSONPSP BETA 7:

• Speed increase, again
• Use L & R for touch screen
• Cursor added with 2 colors: black or white.
• Frameskip set at 2 by default
• Fixed FPS counter as well
• Source code will be added on SVN soon

Update: BETA 6 — Kayliah Edition:

• SpeedHack ARM9VBLANK
• Fixed glitch bug inside many games; some weird cubes…
• Fixed game lag freeze, like in Yoshi Island
• Save game fixed; now Bleach DS works and many others
• Source code updated

And from PSP-Hacks: congratulations Yoshihiro. This next Becks is for you, your gf/wife/whatever, and Kayliah.

That’s right. On this long Labor Day weekend you can do it too… Emulate the Nintendo DS on your PlayStation Portable with Yoshihiro’s port of DeSmuME: DSONPSP BETA 5.

BETA 5 changes:

• Removed vertical screen mode but I’ve added the screen swap.
• Added language support now working.
• GU support added.
• Very nice speed up; now many games are really playable.
• Fixed when nds games freeze your psp.
• Source code added for psp; still not cleaned.

Update: BETA 4 alongside the [not-so-clean] source code have been released…

• More speed
• Game freeze fixes

Update: OK, so maybe DBZ2 isn’t completely playable at 15 FPS. Certain stages of the game slow down while other screens load and respond rather well. Nonetheless, props Yoshihiro.

It’s getting there all right, slowly but surely… So for the naysayers, the non-believers, and the skeptics crying, “It’ll never be playable because…” Wah wah wah… Like James Bond, never say never (again).

Get a load of this — Yoshihiro’s latest DSONPSP release jamming an FPS increase, from 7 to 15, in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, which I believe is the DBZ2 acronym in this BETA 3 change log. I’d say that’s pretty good.

DSONPSP BETA 3 Changes:

• Updated GPU, MMU, DMA, RTC and Branch stuff
• Speed up in DBZ2 to 15fps; old release ran at 7fps
• Updated gfx3d core from DeSmume core 9.4
• Added debug information; give your results when games freeze
• Removed CPU Ratio Hack

Update: DSONPSP v0.2C BETA:

• Added Screen Vertical needed for some games like pinball or football
• Added speed delimiter
• Added frameskip
• Added sound
• Added CPU Ratio Hack

When downgrading your PSP, lets say when 2.XX to 1.50 or 1.00 was the in thing; Yoshihiro was the man that delivered. And now several years later, Yoshihiro delivers again making his 2009 debut with DSONPSP — a Nintendo DS emulator for your PlayStation Portable.

Evidently the emulator suffers from a very low FPS rate; however, Yoshihiro is putting in work and optimizing it for the PSP hardware. DSONPSP v0.1 is beta after all. It’s mentioned the next version will run Tetris DS at 9 FPS. So keep your eyes peeled!

TODO/WIP:

• NDS TouchScreen ratio on PSP
• Mouse pointer
• Sound
• CPU optimization
• Port the latest build (DeSmuME v0.9.4)

DSONPSP is a port of DeSmuME.

What do you gotta say now Nintendo/DS fanboys?
