Psx4gp2x Beta Testers Thread

cool, wonder if there are anymore PSX games on the underdog... i cant seem to find an option on that page to search for playstation abandonware-games ...

nope. sorry, the underdogs is pretty badly designed . but google isn't; type

site:underdogsurl "playstation"

into the google search box to find some games. they've all been reduced by ripping sounds, video etc already, as the underdogs servers are quite bad.

ALSO: dunno if this has been mentioned before, but ridge racer type 4 doesn't appear to work with beta 1.8 (it's NTSC, not PAL). it gets to the namco logo (which is off the screen slightly), the namco logo fades and then the emulator crashes. also, sorry for posting the underdogs url. i'll remove it if needed..

tried it, unscaled @ 290 it runs arround 12FPS (but if you drive fast and the camera zoomes out it slows more down) if it gets a bit faster it could get playable.

and yes GTA is 3D, only cars and people and most objects are 2D.

We've all heard of GTA before, but, as fun as it is to continuingly mindlessly kill people, that doesn't render it a "good" game in everyone's opinion... If you say you don't like rpg's, by which I can agree, everyone has a genre they like and don't like, then why continue on it even further by adding "'good' games"?
Now you replace your opinion with a general opinion:

1) I don't like rpg's, nothing personal
by
2) I will test good games, as rpg's suck. Not my opinion, the truth.

As far as I know, pretty much everyone except for you likes rpg's, or atleast some of them. (don't have to be an rpg fan to like the likes of FF7 and Chrono Trigger)

gta1 is fully 2d, gta2 is partialy 3d, both run, no idear at wich speed right now.

 

[freddykreuger666]

was only joking, i dont actually have a full on grudge vs rpg's
ordered my gp2x woot

 

[Draken]

Oh, ok...

 

[Sonic-NKT]

@Vimacs:
really totally 2D, i dont believe that, buildings are 3D just look at them when you move the character. nothing else thats right but buildings are. or tell me how that was made in 2D

you ordered a homebrew handheld to play only one comercial game?
sounds funny (or stupid)!
the emulator will be faster every release. still waiting and steal the car of your teacher because
you are trained.
btw this game is ..., there are better ones, try supermario!

and freddy: keep out of my dreams !!

2) Most 2D games are RPGs. With only 200mHz and about 40MB of RAM to work with, the more 3D, the worse it's going to be (I don't think we'll see Soul Reaver running anytime soon).

3) Most PSX-era RPGs are playable if they're slower than normal since they were turn based. They are likely to reach "playable" status first, barring compatibility issues. Sniping in MGS on FS2 would, to put it simply, blow goats.

4) RPGs are a more elegant game for a more civilized age.





you are welcome, natural speaker!

at first: i agree with you

to point 2:
"soul reaver" runs well. some smal glitches, but nice to see (but not really playable 4-7 frames per second)
and i like to see such technical "mirakles" on my smal handheld.

to point 4:
maybe, but if final fantasy 7 runs on my gp2x it runs also on yours. and i think Freddy would say: everybody knows that it works, no need to post it.
I like FF7 and i play it, but why doesn't run FFIX ? thats a question wich needs an answer.

Nah, I don't pick on grammar from an obvious non-native speaker. Their english is probably better than my spanish/german/etc. I pick on grammar when I see AOL-speak.

To your response to point 2: SWEET. I have to test it out. That, and the original Blood omen.

Point 4: Not all RPGs are FF7 (most...overrated...RPG...EVAR). I spent most of the morning testing others when I should have been sleeping. Dragon Warrior 7 and both Suikodens segfault on 0.36 Vandal hearts shows some promise though.

if you want to make screenshots try this
http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,8,1115

so start your game with interlace 0 and progressive off, then start up your telnet und connect to the gp2x,

telnet> fbgrap file.png

to save the screenshot

Ah, thanks Firecooler.. didn't see that.

 

[eez0000]

Bah, I can't edit the above post for typos.. well, you get the idea

Many thanks to everyone working on and contributing to this emulator... even at this early stage, it's pretty damn impressive.
