Hi everyone,
A little self promotion while you patiently wait for the next release of psx4gp2x...I finished up Sudoku Challenge for Palm. As you can imagine, it is a Sudoku game for the Palm PDA. If you have a Palm, check it out at:

In other shameless self promotion news, I was also busy doing the Palm versions of eSoft's Jewel Challenge, a mix of some (suprisingly, as I don't tend to like jewel games) fun jewel games:

Oh, and don't forget Arcade Challenge for the Palm, which has Jumpbot, one of a handful of fun mini-games:

So as you can tell I've been really busy doing these projects for eSoft. I have one more Palm title to finish up (Spot!, a spot-the-difference game) before I can have a large stretch of time to work on psx4gp2x.
If you decide to buy one of the above titles, please please please PM me letting me know!
I'm so excited about these projects and upcoming eSoft titles. They recently partnered up with Astraware, so seeing my ports next to titles such as Bejeweled 2, is pretty super.
Oh, in other news...Yesterday I was too tired to work on anything important, and landed up writing a PSX R3000A to General MIPS dynarec. It's not complete but is already progressing in terms of performance, compatibility is extremely low though. This brings up that topic of which platform runs psx4all the best. Suprisingly it's the iStation V43. Didn't see that coming did you?
...The V43 is a Portable Media Player made in Korea. It has a 400MHz AMD Alchemy MIPS processor, a large hi-res screen (really nice quality), USB host/slave connectors for USB pads, a special Joynux joypad connection, and it runs Ridge Racer full speed ( 60 FPS ). With the dynarec, Final Fantasy Tactics is easily within reach of full speed, only needing a few more FPS in the heavy 3D scenes. The Gizmondo is running about as fast as the GP2X currently, though it's port is changing compilers and librarys soon which might give it an edge. The Sharp Zaurus is amazingly fast and has a 640x480 screen, but controlling it with a mini keyboard isn't fun.
So as said above, if you *really need* psx4all on the go and *need it now*, take a look at the V43. It has other features such as a full speed GBA emu with sound, same with NeoGeo and SNES (DaveC would approve!). The GP2X is where my heart is though, so it will be the driving force of psx4all.
Anyone know of other weird gadgets such as the V43?
Oh, and I have no plans on getting this PSX MIPS dynarec a chance on any Sony platform. No worries there.
