Dynarec Completed For Psx4all Project.

[reiboul]

that's very good news, makes me happy for the whole next week

i'm going to test as soon as I have enough time! (that means, in the next few days )

the first 'bug' I noticed is that the menu still refers to Public Beta 2 h34r:

 

[ledro]

Hey guys what are the least cpu intensive games on the Playstation? I think it would be cool to test some of these. It would make a big impression to already have a list of games that are able to run fullspeed.
What about old games like: gunners heaven, Toshinden, Kileak rayman. These games don't look so heavy on the cpu.

 

[reiboul]

on the old Public Beta 2, FF7, Oddworld and Resident Evil ran quite good, as well as some other games I haven't tried


Zodttd, when you have some time, a psx4gp2x.conf file with options would be great!

for example

sound=0/1
interlacing=0/1/--/7
perf_stats=1
rom_dir=/mnt/sd/roms/psx

 

[Jarska333]

Bloody hell my batteries are crap...

 

[torpor]

yeah, can we (who are only watching the festivities) please have a list of games that *work*, i.e. just the success-rate, or at hey, could we at least all use the emoticons to indicate working/not-working/playability level so we can see whats going well?

Quickly tested two games: Resident Evil 2 and Bomberman.
Both games are working and are slightly faster with this version but suffer from missing controls...

Anyway awesome work, zodttd!

FF7 needs to load, so just wait a minute or something and it will show up. Said earlier in this topic by the man himself

as said, i waited for some minutes, but still nothing happens

 

[PokeParadox]

I did some initial testing, and in the current state it is about as fast as the videos I have captured previously (on the games I tested so far)
because of this, I currently don't see much need to capture videos (yet).

Could some of the performance gains of the dynrec.. be lost on the fact that the MMU hack is not working now (or is it?)

Also it segfaults on: (I used the USB and telnet)
FF7 PAL
Chrono Chross NTSC
Soul Blade PAL

Note to others testing:
use telnet to see if the emulator is crashing. FF7 PAL for me is segfaulting (which quits the emulator). if this happens you will be waiting for a long long time for it to load...(it won't load anymore)

 

[X-Code]

The thing about waiting for FFVII to load was related to my tests on the previous dynarec based emu, now I can confirm that it isn't working anymore .

 

[washo]

hi...here some tests:

breath of fire 4 PAL (BIN) @270MHz
(interlace=0, progressive=OFF show stats=ON)
1st FMV is shown @ vsync 30-40, framerate 3-6
can't pass the press start button screen


Saga Frontier 2 PAL (BIN) @270MHz
Square soft (1st screen) OK, square soft logo (2nd screen) OK
during the 1st battle (yes this game begins with a battle)
vsync = 35-40 framerate 15-18
the game doesnt take the whole screen so there are some GFX glitches on the left part of the screen
Game is correctly drawn
cant press a key

Front mission 3 PAL (BIN)
loading iso OK but crash during 1st load screen

anything like an issue with button?

see you :lol:

 

[djchk]

Bubble Bobble 2 tested IMG file
Interlace 0
OC 266
in game
Vsync 26-30
Framerate 26-30

Playable and looks perfect

 

[krosfyah]

Ridge Racer doesn't work anymore but Gradius Gaiden is very playable. It hadn't crashed after 20 minutes or so of playing time.

 

[djchk]

Current tests...

Felony 11-79, 70 FPS in menus, 3-7 FPS ingame.

Alundra - 17 FPS ingame.

How far did you play alundra? For me it seems to stop working if I go through a door.

 

[reiboul]

how do you see if PSX4ALL is segfaulting? i launch the emu though a telnet session, says 'GP2X minimal library blah blah' then nothing more, even when a game crashes
at least it allows me to start a GP2Xmenu without rebooting

 

[reiboul]

more tests

Silent Hill
crash at tha WARNING screen (first screen, adult-cotnent-thing)
Used to work, with some graphical errors in the in-game menu


R-Type Delta

in-game intro video : VSinc 25-35 Framerate 6-10 (3 characters on screen)

door : VSinc 18 FrameRate 17


Vagrant Story

Used to work fine

Final Fantasy 9
Back to menu after 'game success'

 

[Lint]

it will say (on the terminal):

Segmentation fault.


screen probably will keep the same until you restart gp2xmenu, which can be very bad by faulting on a "now loading" screen or something like that...

 

[PokeParadox]

Don't bother restarting the menu... just type the console commands to launch the emulator again... that way you can be sure you will get debug info from the emulator.
