Psx4gp2x Beta Testers Thread


I give up :) Is it only me who can't load anything ? Blank screen all the time. I put spch 1001 bios with gpe file. Tried different games ripped from my pal originals using magic iso. I tried them uncompressed, compressed with pocket iso and nothing work. All i get is blank screen after load done comunicate. Any sugestions ?

I PM'd Zodttd but it seems he is busy at the moment. Would somebody else be so kind and pm me a link? thank you...
 
I PM'd him a while ago but no reply, I guess he's busy coding :D can't wait to test this. Has anyone tried Alundra and Strider 2 yet?

you have to rename the bios-file to: scph1001.bin !!!!!!
test your images on the pc with an emulator like epsxe. if it runs there, it woult work on the gp2x.
try to make a *.dat -file with burnatonce. its easy and opensource. do not convert. use the dat file.
an other good oportunity to rip is alcohol 120%. it produces a bin- and a cue-file. :D
you will get it!!

how do i get it to work properly with tv out ?

Use Kounch's Tv-Out Fixer. That'll fix the problem. ;)

Don't work for me with this version, however the public 0.36 worked with it.
In this beta it makes the picture bigger and bigger in every refresh time and then goes small again. then again bigger and bigger, definitely not playable on tv-out for me ;)

Other then that this release is great B) Tried Wipeout 2097, with interlace 0 i had about 10fps ingame, which was okay to do some races and 30+ fps in menus!
I will now transfer ff7 to my fresh new 1gb card :)

It could very well be that PAL games aren't supported as well as v0.36.
A fix might be to try to underclock it immediately upon LOADING GAME screen. I say this because underclocking affect's the VSync rate that PAL games depend on. I don't think PAL game detection is currently enabled. I'll look into a fix.

Oh...If you have an ISO and want to convert it to BIN format (BIN's are what I use to test with), use a program called BINChunker. It's an old program and might have been renamed since then, but it works.

I'll add fixing the reenabling of hardware scaling to the list.

Also, I dont think TV OUT will work with HW SCALING on! This is because hw scaling mode uses interlacing but doesnt skip the lines when drawing to the screen. Then it takes the lines drawn and scales up 2x to make it full screen. (Thanks for the great idea!) Try TV OUT with 0 interlace, it might work then.

Thanks for the great feedback!
 
Does the different region bioses affect which games are supported? Because the wikipedia article for the playstation lists all the different bios versions.
 
Here are some results of some games i have tested, very impressed with loading times!

Cpu at 280mhz
Game: Alundra
HW scaling with normal bios
Movies around 5 fps at defualt psx cpu
Main menu @ psx cpu 10mhz is Vsinc 60 framerate 60 o_o

crashed when loading main game at psx cpu 10mhz

ingame at default cpu is around 16fps 33 vsincrate with flickering graphics when moving.

ingame with 10 mhx psx cpu VsincRate 90 framrate 18-22 max with flickering when moving.

Not sure if this is to do with the psx cpu but whenever the psx was below the default it would freeze up when changing rooms/loading.


Cpu at 280mhz
Game: Overboard (ripped to about 110 megabytes not to do with me but i got disc read errors at 17% so i gave up there but it still works lol!)

HW scaling with normal bios

Movies around 6-8 fps Vsincrate 18

Main menu at default psx cpu is 8 fps 23 vsincrate
Gets to around 6 fps with 10 mhz cpu (its sort of a 3d menu)

Loading screen is around 60-72 fps with 10mhz cpu

Main game at default cpu is around 10 fps and 22 Vsincrate
cpu at 10mhz vsincrate 72 framrate is a bit worse 9 -11 fps


Cpu at 280mhz
Game: Rapid Racer

HW scaling with normal bios

Movies around 7 fps at normal cpu
Crashed when trying to get to menu like previous version.


Will try some more games soon :)

Edit :
All these games are PAL.
 
It seems my idea of PMing people the link failed, as I'm not able to PM more than one person at a time. I currently have 30 new PMs. Heh.

New idea...
So for those who want the "private" beta 1.8 get it here:
http://www.friggingames.com/psx4gp2x_b108.zip

The file will only be up for about 24 more hours, so get it now.

Please remember that this is still a private beta, in the sense that I request that news site's not consider this a new release.

Hope this makes things easier for everyone.

Thanks!
 
Oh...Just thought of something...

You MUST have " sstates " folder in the directory that psx4all.gpe is in, otherwise save states won't save!
 
Omega Boost- CPU 275
vsync: 30
fps menu: 12-15
fps ingame: 6

pretty much unplayable even with progressive interlace 7.
