FOL from the PSPUAE (Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator) Team has made mention of Ric’s latest work… Ported fresh is the FAME/C CPU core from UAE4ALL. While this FAME/C version is indeed faster, it’s slightly unstable and undesired behaviour may occur. As well, you should know old savestates are not compatible. Nonetheless, kickstart that rom and enjoy countless Amiga classics at their finest.

PSPUAE 0.72 FE changes:

• Added FAME/C CPU core (Credits to UAE4ALL team as that’s where Ric ported it from originally).

Amiga advocate and respected PSPUAE beta tester, Raventyr, just sent word concerning the team’s latest release — the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator version 0.72.

Released by FOL and Chilly Willy; PSPUAE 0.72 aims to gain extra speed while correcting a few audio-related issues. And of course 0.72 packs other bug fixes as well.

PSPUAE 0.72 changes:

• Dumped all sound bar stereo, in an attempt to gain speed
• Corrected Makefile error, which lost us some speed
• Add CYCLE_UNIT as option, setting is either 512 (Normal) or 256 (Turbo)
• Add Chipset CYCLE_UNIT as a hidden auto switch option, that switches with CPU CYCLE_UNIT option
• Fixed screen going off center when switching off auto zoom and when selecting 4:3
• Add lock for new CPU option, stops accidentally pressing option and invoking a hard reset
• Add config option checking to check cycle_unit, screen position, cpu lock and sound delay for old config files
• Add SOUND_DELAY option, this allows us to switch between 1 and 9 ms. (9 ms does speed things up, but causes sound to breakup a little)
• Add Hard Reset to Main Menu
• Add Hard Reset when PSPUAE hits “Fetch Error” (stops fetch crash/loop if Cycles set wrong after loading config)
• Altered Cycle Turbo, CPU Chipset timing to higher value (only when using Turbo Cycles)
• Dumped Sound Optimize as it did very little and caused crash
• Fix Audio Event time
• Fix Audio delay (FOL, added this as an option, so a few more FPS could be gained at the expense of the audio quality).
• Fix Home Button Exit crash, if you were in PSPUAE menu.
• When cycle unit is changed, pspuae will hard reset instantly
• If KickStart 1.3 is not found it will look for any other kickstart, with the following name format, KICK205, KICK30 etc etc. If none are found, PSPUAE will exit to PSP XMB

Long live the Amiga! For real. And has anyone brought back Marble Madness yet?

Much respect FOL and the PSPUAE team.

PSPUAE 0.71 changes:

• Fixed, not saving Frameskip setting (thanks to horace, for making me see the code clearly)
• Added left / right sound DWORD code (from Winuae, fixes sound not outputing correctly)
• Made sound bug from 0.70 into an option, as it gives a speed increase
• Altered Frameskip logic (to help stop frameskip going crazy)
• Altered Official Cycle Unit to improve CPU speed option
• Added Anti-Interpolation sound code (from WinUAE)
• Added Stereo Separation option

FOL and the PSPUAE team have released version 0.70 of their Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator. Several updates optimizing both speed and memory have been packed into 0.70 — those along side other improvements detailed in the changelog below…

PSPUAE v0.70 changes:

• Added a lot of Rics FAMEC code and optimizations. (Gave some speed increase)
• Altered Hsync handler. (Removes slow down when sprites on screen, with CPU = MAX)
• Altered CPU CYCLE UNIT to 256 (Gave the most speed increase)
• Altered CHIPSET settings (To fall inline with CPU CYCLE UNIT change, its now a much more finer setting than in previous versions. Giving better results)
• Added Rics FAMEC Sound code (Still clicks, we know what the problem is, but I need help to solve it)
• Added Interpolation 4CH Sound under sound menu (This can improve sound slightly)
• Altered HEAP SIZE for available memory to PSPUAE (This solves all memory problems)
• Added Rics FAMEC FrameSkip Algorithm (This gives a finer smoother Auto FrameSkip)

My sincerest props to the team for this one.

Amiga fans — get your game on. With John’s latest release you may notice a possible speed increase and improved stability. Developer FOL, from PSPUAE.COM, shared a tip to boost the emulator’s performance.

John has recompiled PSP UAE4ALL with this change; he reports –

…there is a speed increase! Okay, it’s really only a very slightly speed increase and some maybe won’t even feel any improvement at all, but there’s more to it: Paradroid 90, one of my favorite games of all times, always locked up after a couple of “droid-control-battles”. Not anymore!

Another minor but notable change to the control scheme: hold L-Trigger for slow mouse movement with the analog stick. Hold R-Trigger for fast movement.

In the early hours of a frosty Toronto night arrived PSPUAE v0.61. It comes from a new member of the Ubiquitous Amiga 500 Emulator team, thinkp.

PSPUAE v0.61 changes:

• optionfiles with names (name_of_the_disk.options)
• savestates with names (name_of_the_disk.asf)
• auto-save options when saving state (in folder STATE)
• auto-load options when loading state (from folder STATE)
• auto-load options when inserting disk
• assign keys in controls menu with amiga keyboard
  (press square to open/close keyboard and cross to select, triangle to delete button)
• assign keyboard keys to the 4 d-pad directions in combination with the l+r shoulder buttons
  (set ‘Directional Buttons’ in controls menu to ‘Keys’)
• mouse speed option in hardware menu (from 5 [fast] to 1 [slow])
• hi-res mouse speed option in hardware menu (from 5 [fast] to 1 [slow])
• dual joystick control – same joystick on d-pad AND the analogue stick
• Added folders for all files, now only the main EBOOT is in main folder (FOL)

And a note from FOL:

This update is thanks to thinkp. He took the source and improved it. He has added some of the TO DO LIST with this update. I have also changed the dir sctructure of PSPUAE, so please make sure you move the relevant files to there new correct folders.

Great job thinkp!

PSPUAE is now compatible with all homebrew capable PSP’s! FOL has taken the liberty in repacking the 1.50 FW release of PSPUAE to function on Dark_AleX’s 2.71 SE-A firmware, 2.71 with HEN C, and of course FW v1.0. Nothing is new in this release — it’s still PSPUAE v0.55a emulating the Amiga 500!

Installation instructions for each scenario is detailed in “READMEV2.TXT.” I also won’t fail to mention you require a valid Amiga KickStart ROM to use PSPUAE — click here.

FOL and Ric have released a new version of the PSP Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, or PSPUAE for short.

PSPUAE successfully emulates the classic Amiga 500 home computer system. You will require a valid Amiga KickStart ROM in order to experience the marvelous wonders the Amiga 500 holds – all on your PSP! That of course can be found via simple Google search.

PSPUAE v0.55 changes:

• Added some more Joystick mapping options. You can now use any button to control Amiga joystick 0.
• Changed all sceCtrlReadBufferPositive to sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive. This should speed things up a little, because sceCtrlReadBufferPositive always waits for vsync.
• Fixed a “bug” that caused the PSP to crash if you tried to exit using the home button.
• Added Bilinear filtering when zoom is turned on.

A new vastly improved version of my personal favourite – the PSP Ubiquitous Amiga 500 Emulator (PSPUAE)! Ric and FOL have managed to pack quite the list of updates into this release, officially claimed the “Speed Increase Release.”

(click to enlarge)

PSPUAE v0.54 Changelog:

• Based on e-uae 0.8.29 WIP3
• Ditched harddrive support to gain speed as I still can’t get it to work with WIP3
• Removed support for serial ports to gain speed
• Several optimizations to the e-uae code primarily removing stuff that doesn’t make a lot of sense on the PSP
• Added cpu speed option – thanks to FOL
• Added profiling support
• Fixed memory issues – now allows 6MB for PSP V1.50 and 5.5MB for PSP V2.00+
• Should run using kxploit and the eloader (So V1.50 release works with all)
• Switched middle and right mouse button
• Fixed screenshot
• only displays leds for 2 drives as only 2 are enabled (will not accept 4 drives as I have disabled the last 2 for performance reasons)
• disabled debugging support (can be enabled again it doesnt really make a performance hit)
• only possible to select valid memory configurations (up to 2 Mb chip, 1.5 Mb bogo and 2.5Mb fast)
• Fixed keyboard mappings
• when mapping keyboard keys to psp buttons the behaviour is to keep the key down until the psp button is released.
• removed 2 drives from the disk menu
• added msg box for when no kickstart rom is present and also for when changing kickstart roms while using PSPUAE
• added msg box for when PSPUAE runs out of memory instead of crashing (makes it very hard to crash PSPUAE now)
• added KickStart 2.04 & 2.05 to the Rom selection menu

It’s definitely worth the upgrade if you’re an avid PSPUAE user.

And remember, you will require a valid Amiga KickStart ROM to use PSPUAE – that can be found via simple Google search!
