Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

It seems to works very good, i also hope smoku can grab 3D acceleration from that code.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

they have much faster cpu's though if you temporarily overclock your n900 to 1150mhz you get similar speeds to them in the latest psx4m

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

You can also try running Android on the N900. It now has 3D acceleration, but you can't overclock right now.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

This is basically the same base code I am using for PSX4M.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Oh. Is there a reason why the droid version works better? More optimization for the qualcomm CPU? I mean, the N900 can do 1ghz but it's still not going to be as fast.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

My ridge racer runs only slightly slower than the demo in that video - so I don't think there is much between them

I feel sure when cycle multiplier is back then we will see very close to performance.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

How do we turn the sound off
As I always presumed if the sound was off the game would run easier

Also

The emulated game has a white background around it.
How do I change this to black?? or simply stretch emulated game


Thanks :-)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I could be wrong - but I do not believe the current version allows either of those.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Do you use some white theme?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Oh, than you should have a look if there are the same bugs inside.:)

- The PSX4Driod port didn't support the L2/R2 Buttons.
- Tony Hawk 2 has problems with textures.
- There is the same graphic bug with Oddworld, you have fixed already in your former PSX4All port.
- and some other little things, like missing cofigurations like cycle multiplier and frameskip.

It's fast and on some games the sound output is realy OK,

The N900, overclocked @ 1150 and psx4all has nearly the same speed and you can even use an PS3 pad.

Hope Zodttd is as fast as you in bugfixing. :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

No
I am currently using a black theme

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Remember that that N900 has more overhead then most Android devices.

Mameo 5 runs an X server at all times that cannot be turned off. Add that with the hildon-home and hidon-desktop processes, this add alot of stuff on the CPU that Android devices don't have to worry about.

Of course, Android apps have to run in the Dalvik VM while N900 can run more native code, so we've got that going for us....

One more thing is the audio. I don't know what runs the audio on Android devices, but Maemo5 is stuck with PulseAudio which is not the most CPU efficient audio daemon out there.

Put all this together and you have the fact that even when over clocked, the N900 won't run the same code as fast or as smoothly as Snapdragon powered android devices. :(

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Is there any way of disabling things like

• hidon-home and hidon-desktops
• even the audio daemon
  

when psx4m starts up?

That would defiantly save processing power

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Is pasuspend available for the N900? Can we even access a native ALSA audio device (I know it redirects to pulse in the alsa.conf file)?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

These are all system daemons that would just re-start if they are ever killed or stopped.

I don't think you would want to hack your N900 to disable the restart features of these daemons. Even if you COULD find a way, you would probably lose access to the Maemo5 GUI in such a way that even a reboot wouldn't restore it.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

With PSX4All you could run: "killall pulseaudio" after starting a game. That would stop pulseaudio from working on PSX. I haven't tried it with psx4m though.

To reduce hildon-home and hildon-desktop from hogging the CPU disable most if not all widgets. You can use an App called "Desktop Activity Manager" to disable and enable widgets easily.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I've been hearing that a lot about android. So basically all apps run on a VM? Isn't that.. kind of terrible? For the framerate and everything that is.
Native code all the way.

BTW, we now have GPU accelerated froyo on out N900s so someone HAS to try psx4droid to see how it runs on the N900 + froyo.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I tried it, it doesn't work. Goes to black screen.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

On previous versions of psx4all etc
The Audio was off, so to let the games run easier.

How do I turn the sound off on psx4m

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

If you kill some of the system processes the watchdogs will start to bark and the device will eventually reboot. Try restarting mce a few times in a row and see what happens :p

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I have two short questions,
It is possible to configure the buttons?
It is possible to configure to play in full screen?
Tanks.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

It would be very useful. I have a dark green theme and when I play emu I see two green spaces on both sides of the screen :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Guys. I cannot upload updates until the competition voting is finished.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

So only 3 days left? :)
Can't wait what will bring us new update :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Looks like I'm going to loose with Destroid :(

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

i just voted on you :)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Just voted for you too smoku :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

voted, and donated some bucks :D
please keep up the good work!

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I also voted for psx4m

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

where do i vote Smoku?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

have voted to you too smoku.

dobra robota rob tak dalej:)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Dont worry Smoku, practically you have already won :) If you think about it, psx emulator vs some "5 minutes of fun" asteroids game?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Hey it's not funny!! :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

You have already won smoku.

And you have a popolarity like a star in maemo world (blog or forum dedicated), so don't worry :D

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

also voted for you smoku.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Calling Destroid 5 minutes of asteroid fun is disrespectful. It's a great game and I am very impressed by it.

But psx4m with all its possibilities is much better in my opinion. I voted for it. I wish you could vote for more than one and give them points like 3 points for first choice, 2 for second and 1 point for the third choice.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I do admire people that spent a lot of time developing a game from scratch. I do know how time consuming and tiering effort this is.

That's why I voted for "Skid Stone". :)
It was a hard choice between Skid Stone and Desteroid, so we voted at home and my wife overruled me ;)

hi ive never had a reason to sign up as anything i needed to know has already been explained but i had to sign up just to vote for this thanks buddy
