Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Has anyone had this problem with certain games.

I have noticed that need for speed 1 will only work if sound is enabled but at the cost of performance, if i disable sound it only load up to the main menu and then when i try to start the game it freezes the emulator.

Any work-around?

here is the output through xterm:-

- $ psx4m-gui
/opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx -nosound -bios scph1000.bin -bdir /home/user/MyDocs/bios/ -fullscreen -fps -cdfile /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/Games/psx roms/NFS1.img -save_name NFS1.img

Sorted it

checked the output in xterm with sound enabled and i noticed 1 line was showing

plugin: /opt/maemo/usr/games/plugins/builtin_spu

sound disabled was showing

plugin: /opt/maemo/usr/games/plugins/spunull.so

so i gathered that may be the problem.

In advance menu i ticked the -spu irq always enabled- and that sorted the problem out.

@Bazza

Which gpu option are you using? Also do you have Threaded sound enabled? Because I had that problem way back with crash bandicoot when I unintentionally enabled Threaded sound.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

neon_gpu

sorted it out now see last post

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Yep! Missed out the space between "
users" and "/home"

After a reset now working as expected, and have to say..

WOW!:eek: Massive speed increase! Tony Hawk 4 runs maybe even a little too fast at 850mHz, and Tekken 3 too...

Shame the GLes version doesn't run so smooth, as having the speed of the Neon GPU and the smooth 3d/2d graphics would be awesome!

has anyone try Dance Dance Revolution yet ?

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

I did - smashed my n900 to pieces....




Just kidding of course..

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

After I Install the last update psx4m not working with psx4m-gui. Pcsx rearmed works. Does anyone face the same problem?

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Yes same here just pcsx rearmed works but with the performance we get that should be all we need.:)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

psx4m works for me, just need to wait a little bit longer for it to kick in. Using the neon-gpu and it works a bit faster but the sound is still very...er...jumpy. Still, works pretty nicely.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Surely if you're using the neon-gpu you're running pcsx-rearmed?

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

using cycle multiplier on psx4m gives better fps on most games than pcsxrearmed. ofcourse pcsxrearmed compatibility is much better.

i use quick save and quick load on psx4m gles and i dont think i can transfer them to pcsxrearmed.

Onother bug i found is quick load. I use resident evil 3, quick load works ok, but if i restart emulator and load the performance is poor, dont know why. Has anyone else this problem?

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

hadjistyllis: psx4m(-gles) and pcsx-rearmed use same memcards (located in different places either)
so you can use in-game save(sadly psx usually use checkpoints system for save in most games), copy\replace memcard from psx4m to pcsx or pcsx to psx4m and load(continue in most games) at different core ;-)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Enable no framelimit. That is simply not true if you do. With rearmed most games run full speed without sound at 600 mhz! :eek:

Edit: btw bonapart, is there a way to have access to the memory card
to erase and copy stuff for example. My memory card is full and I have no idea what to do to solve that.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Yeah I know that. The quick load I think is not working through different cores.
BTW how to solve the problem with GUI to load psx4m?
Thank you for your help:)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Because pcsxrearmed now use GPU so cpu speed doesn't matter a lot for graphics. Cpu need for sound so overclocking will help in sound. Psx4m (especialy psx4m-gles for some supported games) plays with sound at full speed.
GTA plays perfect with psx4m-gles with perfect graphics and perfect sound with cycle multiplier 3.
Psx4m has stop updating, so pcsxrearmed in few month will be perfect and no one will use psx4m :)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

legacy of kain soul reaver plays almost perfectly with the new update. good sound and perfect graphics at 900Mhz OC. but it doesnt save. has any one xperienced the same situation?

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

zzzchainzzz which saves? ingame or quick-saves(emu)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

ingame save @ bonapart... ( note: i was using the old psx4mgui with the new pcsxrearmcore when i experienced it )..

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Hello guys, i'm new here, first of all sorry about my bad english, i hope you can understand me :)

Let me introduce myself quckly. I'm mainly a gamer, i'm playing with fighting games (Tekken series, SF4, MK9, UMvC3) at tournament level, and i'm making combo videos out of these games. i'm playing with consoles since my childhood. I had only Nokia phones, because Symbian could handle a few emulators, like VNes and Picodrive.
I switched my shitty N97 (that phone was big disappointment) for a N900 about a year ago, and it's a whole new level... Damn this is a pocket PC, definitely my favourite phone of all time! Symbian is only a joke compared to Maemo. So emulators are necessary for me, i'm a huge fan of retro games and consoles. This phone was the perfect choice for me! I'm a Ps3 owner too, so i can use my joypad with the phone. Playing retro games with a Sixaxis on my Nokia? A dream comed true.

So i really like to thank EVERYBODY who cares about this phone, porting and working on emulators, etc. PCSX REarmed is excellent, a lot of games runs almost perfectly! Thanks one more time guys, keep up the outstandig work, and i wish a happy new year for everybody!

zzzchainzzz check ~/.pcsx directory (chown, chmod)
dragonken tnx
btw you can say thanks to Notaz&ari64&exophase via pandora boards cuz i'm not sure that they read maemo forums

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Sure, this is the least i can do.

On topic:
I tried a lot of games, here are a few examples:

Tenchu 2 - Fully playable.

Tony Hawk 2: - music is a bit laggy, but the game runs pretty smoothly

Tekken 2: - Generally is a bit slower, but the musics and sounds are fluid!

Tekken 3: - Ingame is a bit laggy, but Tekken Force mode runs pretty well.

Star Gladiator: - Runs greatly, but there are no music.

Tombi: - It runs pretty good, the music is choppy sometimes.

Tombi 2: - Fully playable.

Crash Bandicoot 3: - Fully playable.

Final fantasy 9: - Fully playable.

Abe's Oddysee: - There are some graphic texture glitches at a few screens, but besides those it's fully playable.

Bust a Groove 1-2: Unplayable because of the lag :(

dragonken:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=926095&postcount=1 last link is point to list where you should share your experience ;-)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

What are the settings you are using to run Final Fantasy 9? i tried every configuration but all i get is a black screen right after launch - the game doesn't start (even though the CPU is working)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

No sorry it's not really playable. Random bugs ruin the game.
Like getting stuck in water levels.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

I'm a bit confused about the command u wrote there. im not good at linux commands. plz do state clearly what i should type in the xterm @ bonapart. thx

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

zzzchainzzz
not sure(writing without n900 or nearest linux machine) but guess something like this

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

FF9? I't doesn't need any extra config, Maybe there's a problem with your game file, you should try another.
Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped works perfectly for me. I'm at the 4th zone, and i didn't noticed any kind of bugs yet.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 

Magik dragonken please post information about rom images: region(language,translator company) , video system(pal\secam), type of image(bin,iso,img)
