Wow things are slowing down lately. Hopefully we can pick up the GP2X community with GBAX entries. For my part, I made a public beta 5 of my latest build. It should grab some much needed attention. Please read the post for it in the GP2X News section of the forum. I'd like to get a collection of well performing games collected for a launch of upcoming versions.
Hopefully this will get some attention of those who have a GP2X but have not yet tried psx4gp2x.

Tips for getting maximum performance:
- Using interlace 1+ setting gives more performance at the cost of blockier looking graphics from upscaling
- Turning sound off may give a slight performance increase
- Use your best overclock and use ram timings on if possible
- Be sure to find the best (working) PSX CLOCK setting. Usually a lower PSX CLOCK setting that keeps VSync less than 130 while keeping the highest framerate (FPS) is recommended.
- If you feel like tweaking timings more, change PSX CYCLE from 2 to a different value first. BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS OPTION TO BE RECOGINZED, YOU MUST RELOAD THE GAME FROM THE INGAME LOADGAME OPTION EACH TIME YOU WANT IT SET TO THE NEW VALUE!
- Once the PSX CYCLE has been successfully changed, edit the PSX CLOCK timings. Usually PSX CYCLE 1 to 4, maybe 5, is best.
Tips for compatibility with games that freeze or won’t load:
- Change the PSX CYCLE to 1 and change PSX CLOCK to a number between 80 and 104. Do this as soon as the game inits/loads up and then RELOAD THE GAME FROM THE INGAME MENU with these new settings in place.
