well i didn't mean that these previews should be on the top of the to-do list. of course emulating the games well comes first. i only wanted to know if its even possible to do it or if this is some kind of sony-psp only stuff.
You have PSP ISO's in that format.joshwaan2k said:I also like the idea of CSO compression format, I have a lot of games that I played on my psp that are in this format still.
I believe that the same compression code used on EBOOTed ISOs is what is used to compress ISO/CSO so it shouldn't be a lot more work. Tools for converting ISO to CSO are available with source.Tinnus said:Why would you folks want CSO? There's no other PS1 emulator that supports this format, and we'd already have the eboot and Z formats for zipped images.
Just curious. If it makes any sense, we'll look forward to supporting it![]()
Sounds like the perfect solution. Since you're supporting both uncompressed ISOs and (what appears to be the best format of) compressed ISOs, I don't see how anybody could ask for more. Great work as alwaysTinnus said:What I'm saying is that the eboot format has compression, bells and whistles, and there are open (as in GPL) apps to do the conversion. AND we'll release a version of a converter that only does what we need for psx4all (ie: no base.pbp needed).
What is it about Eboot that you dislike? What about the format do you find inelegant? If your only quibble is with all the metadata that is frequently not included in downloaded images, remember that PSX4Pandora is not likely to support most of it anyway. You won't even know that all the extra media isn't there because it won't show up in the loader either way.cools said:I own a PSP, there's no reason other than a desire to see things done cleaner. Eboot simply isn't elegant - it grates with me
It is more like they did not like the fact that you brought a fork and spoon, when all they want is a spoon. Which seems worse to me.Chip said:Some people are really amazing. It's as if you spent all day baking a delicious pie with hand picked fruit and fresh ingredients, and hand delivered it to their house. When you showed up at their door with the free, tasty pie and said "Here, this is for you", all they could think to say is "What, no whipped cream?"
TyBO! said:Great to hear you're supporting the Eboot compression format!
I know beggars can't be choosers, but it would also be nice to see support for ECM compression format. It might be difficult to do, since it's designed to aid the compression of an ISO when using a more general compression format like WinRAR or 7zip. The good news however, is that the format is free and open-source.
The simplest way to support compressed filesystems is to support filesystems in general. CramFS and SquashFS can be mounted somewhere and used like plain iso or the real cd's. Both support compression, the latter supports lzma (7zip).
Patrick R Ludvigsen said:How will the two other shoulder buttons on the PSX controller be handled? IIRC, the Pandora only has one set of shoulder buttons...
Whatever you map them toThere's PLENTY of other buttons. Moreover, you could map the shoulder to L2/R2 if they fit better and put L1 and R1 somewhere else, and so on.
