N900 is becoming an arcade machine :)

I already built a classic arcade machine for my house - a portable one is a great addition :)

Or if you simply want to compress your iso you can use pocketiso (use normal compression)

@B-RUNO: prego. ;)

I read POCKETISO will delete the videos while compressing the Iso. True?

I tried only with one iso and the videos were still there (I used normal compression and the iso was compressed from 700Mb to 500Mb).
There are options to rip videos, but the program didn't find any media and I never tried with other isos...

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 
Didnt succeed in compressing my Rom (.img) with d pocketiso

firstly - located rom and choose normal compression
2nd - analysed iso : which showed me my rom had video files
3rd - then finally process iso which shrunk it from abt 710mb to 598mb. (Plz tell me where i went wrong if seen).

It gave a file name (which was unplayable) with extension like this [romname].img.Z.table . i renamed it to .img and still didnt work.

i'm going to try bonaparts suggestions latter too.

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 
Sakya, Bonapart - some issues/suggestions:

Since many racing games are working great now, Is it possible to change the sensitivity of the accelerometer? it is way too sensitive now...

Second thing i've noticed, is that when loading a saved game, the game starts VERY slow for about a minute which makes the game unplayable.

Last issue i thought about was the save slots - it's possible to change slot for save game inside the game which is great (by using the configured keys), but there is no indication about the current active slot, which makes it very difficult to know which one is active for quick save/load operations - just a thought.

Thanks for your great work.

PocketIso produces two files: one with extension "table" (you don't need this) and one with extension "z".
You have to copy the file game.bin.z to your roms directory without renaming it.

@impeham: I'll see what I can do for these problems. ;)

Thought i'd wait for the evening but a few mins break from work won't hurt since i was eager to see these changes :)

The save state selection is great!

I am currently using the gles GPU for all games that works with it since it has the most beautiful graphics. several games are quite buggy such as Knockout kings 2001 and Tekken 3.
do you think changing some gles settings might fix these issues?

Maybe, I tried with some games and I can see differences.
Some options are almost useless on the n900 (advanced blending is really slow) but you can play with it.

The gui does not contain such options so you'll need to execute the emulator from the terminal with a command like:
Code:

/opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx -bios scph1001.bin -bdir /home/user/MyDocs/ -fullscreen -cdfile FullPathToYourROM -cdda -xa -nosound -gles
And add some of these options (better try it one at a time):
Code:

-gles_dithering VALUE : Enable/disable dithering [0/1]
                        (Default disabled)
-gles_mask VALUE      : Enable/disable mask detect [0/1]
                        (Default disabled)
-gles_filtering VALUE : Texture Filtering
                        0=None (Default)
                        1=Standard
                        2=Extended
                        3=Standard-sprites
                        4=Extended-sprites
                        5=Standard+sprites
                        6=Extended+sprites
-gles_fbtex VALUE    : Framebuffer Textures
                        0=Emulated VRam (Default)
                        1=Black
                        2=Card
                        3=Card+soft
-gles_vram VALUE      : Texture RAM size in MB [4-128]
                        (Default 64)
-gles_fastmdec VALUE  : Enable/disable Fast Mdec [0/1]
                        (Default disabled)
-gles_advblend VALUE  : Enable/disable Adv. Blend [0/1]
                        (Default disabled)
-gles_opaque VALUE    : Enable/disable Opaque Pass [0/1]
                        (Default disabled)

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 
'-gles_advblend 1' fixes the wrong graphics issues in tekken, but also makes the game VERY slow.

i could not see major differences by changing the other switches' values.

Did you try -gles_filtering 6? It should make some difference.

Yes - but haven't seen any. i'll try again with a few more games and post results.

i also found another issue/bug - when using the gles GPU, the accelerometer is not working - i tried with several games. working fine with GPUs.

impeham 2012-04-04 20:53

Re: [Announce] Sony Playstation 1 Emulators
 
Just checked with '-gles_filtering 6' mortal kombat 2, fifa 2005 and fighting force - couldn't see the difference with or without this switch...

Am i doing something wrong?

did renaming the .php to bin file work for anyone? didn't work for me.

and how exactly it doesn't work:
1. not even appear in GUI
2. pushing start does nothing(or opening window with closing it immediately)
3. stuck with black screen

Open a terminal and:
Code:

sudo gainroot
rm -rf /home/user/.config/Team16
exit

Relaunch the gui, it should recreate the directory with correct permission.

Uploaded pcsxrearmed version 0.4.0.14.4

Changelog:
* Fixed -load option
* Added disc change (configured a new key)

To use the change disc feature you need to upgrade the gui and configure the key to change disc.

Uploaded psx4m-gui version 0.4-6.14.7
* Fixed some bugs
* Added support to .pbp extension
* Added button to load a savestate

Savestates from the two emulators are not compatible so you cannot use one saved with pcsxrearmed with psx4m (and viceversa).

I have a small request. I read in pandora forum that pcsxrearmed supports mds/mdf format. If I'm right it will be also very cool to load mdf games from psx4m-gui

If the format is supported and it works is just a matter of adding the extension to the filter...
I'll try to execute a mdf and if it works I'll add it to the gui.

sakya - this is some great stuff - thanks!

Is it possible to add the accelerometer for the gles GPU? playing without the game gripper/ds3 controller is a little hard so this is a great alternative.

pbp games works great - just saved ~4GB from my memory card :)

They don't do anything if you don't select a rom.

Yes. I totally AGREE with you on that one. it loads slightly slower than the main(.bin,.img) file though. But its preferable considering the memory it saves on the device.

@sakya.. tenchu 2 plays well BUT tends to hang when PAUSED. it remains like that forever.

It has been like that since the pcsx-rearmed update (with audio filter) that brought about good quality sound on the emulator of late.

The last 2 updates havnt corrected it (i was hoping future updates woud correct it).

got time to check it out?

playing gt and gta1. games run fine from boot using kp dsp profile. however loading from slot (not mem card) they sometimes really lag. sorts itself out after a while but annoying during quick sessions.
