PSX4All Maemo Edition

[samipower]

i tried latest version psx4m 0,43-5 and psx4m-gui 0.4 and full screen suported now and full speed and you can play with ps3 gamepad yes . it is perfect . all games run full speed . only rare namco games tekken 3 and tekken 1 for example run more slow that others games. i am very happy . n900 950mhz and cylcle 3-4 and frameskip 8 it will run well all games.

[Airtux]

Nice! i have dl the .deb! it's work! and fullscreen option is very good!
thank Bonapart! :D

[Kevstacey]

ive got psx4m 0.4.5 and psx4m-gui 0.3 installed
working great already in full screen

will there be any difference if i install psx4m-gui 0.4 ?

thanks :)

[samipower]

uninstall gui 0.3 and install gui 0.4 , gui 0.4 better , speed.

thanks bonapart , now psx4m are the best emulator psx in maemo .

more better than psx4droid 1.7 in nitdroid.

now perfect .

[bonapart]

Kevstacey:changes in 0.4 psx4m-gui:
fullscreen switch
state slot selectors
frameskip selectors fixed(in 0.3 they doesn't work)
psx4m-gui is exit after starting psx4m(for decrease cpu\ram usage)
some small visual changes
so it's you choose to update to psx4m-gui 0.4 or not

Airtux,samipower thx

[PzK]

Great update, thanks. I've got Resident 1, 2 and 3 working on my N900. Sound effects and music is fine, however the sound for the fmv's and speech from characters is muffled and distorted. I presume this is the same for most games.

The fullscreen option is a great feature.

[Magik]

This is just brilliant! Fullscreen and save states work very good.
Gui feels and looks better too ;)

[yamakasi]

is there is a space to improve the performance further, I am very happy with the emulator but I just want to ask if it is possible.

[twiny_2nd]

the progress with this has been pretty impressive over the past few months which is awsome! I've been hopeing that I cud put my game gripper to sum gud use and now its possible! lol!

I have a couple of nooby questions though! sorry! lol!
1. im running at oc 950mhz and just wondering what you guys think is the best config for this.
2. mgs freezes after konami screen just goes black... any advice on this??
3. i know its old school but iv been tryin t get heart of darkness to work n that just freezes after the first fmv which i wudnt expect coz the the graphics arent particularly great and i know my iso is sound coz it works on my pc...any advice on this also??
4. a bit off topic but is there any way to remap the volume buttons to use as L and R 1?? iv got shortcutd and using cam key as backspace so thats an extra button. dunno if this has been asked before but google is no help! lol! any ideas with this?

atm got my frameskip at 4 and cm at 7 lol. ff7 + 8 run ok but fmv's r extreamly fast! iv got net yaroze demos working pretty sweet aswell! (old favourite)

I always refrain from asking questions here coz know you guys must get sick of it but hope u cn help!

sorry to be a pain and thanks for awsome work n cool new gui!!

[Bigmac_hk]

I cant seem to install the new GUI, it says that the file is corrupted. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the GUI and the app but still says its corrupt.

http://i54.tinypic.com/nphxmv.png

Edit: Fixed by downloading from a direct link instead of through app manager.

[Bigmac_hk]

it's maemo repos bug, i reuploaded gui (no changes)
Bigmac_hk: what font do you use? i want it too ^_^

Nokia Sans is the font I am using. Easy to set up using Theme Customizer.

Managed to install it by downloading from a direct link instead of the app manager. If only I looked 2 pages back instead of 1 hehe.

Edit: I load it up and it says fatal error, check permission of file /home/opt/psx4m/keys.

Edit2: Finally got it working, thanks for the help :D

[bonapart]

link in my subscription to faq, plz read

[Danveer]

can i play twisted metal 2 on my n900 using this because thats one of my favourite game

[Magik]

mgs freezes after konami screen just goes black... any advice on this??

Try to switch off cyclemulti completely. Works for warcraft2, which freezes when you have CM on.

3. i know its old school but iv been tryin t get heart of darkness to work n that just freezes after the first fmv which i wudnt expect coz the the graphics arent particularly great and i know my iso is sound coz it works on my pc...any advice on this also??

Like above. If it doesn't work after this I think it'll not work :p .

[nicholes]

link in my subscription to faq, plz read

i do not understand.where is the link to download gui!!!?

[bonapart]

it's here http://maemo.org/packages/view/psx4m-gui/
you can use standart package manager with extras-devel enabled

[sonic117]

Ok, yesterdey I tried to install the new gui...and I got an error message, something like: you need libqt4-core (>= 4.7.0~git20100909-0maemo1+0m5)
So I tried to install libqt4 through apt-get, and after a few tries it began to download lots of things.
Finally I installed the gui, and now I can open it, configure my keys and play the games (but for now I think it is slowler than the previous version).
The thing is that now I can't play with mupen64plus :S I don't know why. I mean, I can open the emulator and chose a game...but when I press start, the emulator stops working and closes the window. The games just don't work.
I would prefer not to flash the phone -.- I have lots of things in it, but I like to play my N64 games too. Any help? I don't know what to do, I've already uninstalled the mupen64plus and downloaded it again...and same result.
Thanks :)

[bonapart]

you updated to qt 4.7 ? pr 1.3 ... , update n64 emu too

[sonic117]

you updated to qt 4.7 ? pr 1.3 ... , update n64 emu too

I did, mupen64 is now in the last version...and nothing happens.
I think it is some kind of conflict between packages :S is it possible?
By the way, thanks for the efford and I think you did a great work with this gui ;)

[Tedri Mark]

Just got the new versionof the gui (via app man) which now installs fine - both are working fine for me on PR1.3, power kernel, swappolube....

Also, has the resolution been reduced?

[bonapart]

no conflict psx4m and n64, n64 with pr1.3 is possible i think

[Fredook]

somebody test FF8 is working fine?

[AndyTitan]

friends, in final fantasy 8 wan i go to world map, fps and animation not working... but in anaver locations animation and fps working !!! i traet all bios's problem but problem no go away!

English very bad! Cry!

Any fix for this??

[Magik]

fps and animation not working
They work just really slow :p
OC to 1GHz
Frameskip 8
Cycle 2 or 3
and it should be playable.

WOWWW
IT WORKS !!!!:D
tnks man !

[Fredook]

ff8 works well, but has slowndowns in the fights and the world

[samipower]

hello all people have that try mortal kombat 4 game run ultra-very fast . incredible with n900 950cpu cycle 3 frameskip 8 run ultra fast this game

Bonapart can you create a new gui 0.5 with two players in key config? if it is not possible . ok . it will be more better .

[bonapart]

psx4m doesn't support second player in core, it's removed for better speed i guess.

[cddiede]

The thing is that now I can't play with mupen64plus :S I don't know why. I mean, I can open the emulator and chose a game...but when I press start, the emulator stops working and closes the window. The games just don't work.
Thanks :)

I got the same thing in the GUI, but games run just fine from xterm. Try this in the GUI (it works for me) Don't select the ROM you want and hit the Start button. instead select File -> Open ROM.

Now select your ROM in the pop up window and it should play.

[Fredook]

FF9 works very very very well!! only some sound issue

[fuyoh]

how do i start psx4m without the gui ?

[bonapart]

/opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m -runcd -load x [options] [rom_file]
where x is word (gui use 6 numbers), others options you can read by -help switch

[confusedfella]

Do you think GPU acceleration will be possible one day? it would play games a lot faster.

[fuyoh]

/opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m -runcd -load x [options] [rom_file]
where x is word (gui use 6 numbers), others options you can read by -help switch

is it possible if you make psx4m as a standalone command from the terminal ?

thx

[bonapart]

confusedfella, i trying to build with peops gpu plugin that use mesa libs
fuyoh:do you kidding? it's standalone program, or you doesn't read previous post before quoting?

[fuyoh]

confusedfella, i trying to build with peops gpu plugin that use mesa libs
fuyoh:do you kidding? it's standalone program, or you doesn't read previous post before quoting?

sorry, didnt mean to confuse you.

what i meant is to launch psx4m as 'psx4m' from the terminal instead of going to the directory.

[bonapart]

ln -s /opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m /usr/bin/psx4m

[Magik]

The newest psx4m with save states & full screen running Final Fantasy 8:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt2zhu5cJxc

Once again thanks bonapart for update! :)

[mestour]

can any one post videos about the new psx4m ????

[nicholes]

aplication crashed when try to start any game (psx4m 0.4 gui)
successfully configered keys
bios and iso and bin games in same folrder(home/user)

[bonapart]

psx4m-gui is exited by default after game start
but if psx4m can't start psx4m-gui would close anyway.
so try start game by Xterm (/home/opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m -runcd /home/user/MyDocs/game.bin) and look what's happens(and post output here if you will be unsure about results)

[Kevstacey]

will this emulator support psx-psp games?

they seem to be psone games converted to a much smaller size for psp

cheers :)

[bonapart]

try it by yourself and share your experience
while psx4m doesn't support all psx games correctly nobody can grant something more...

from http://a320.emulate.su/tag/psx4all/ i read that a320 port of PSX4ALL can read compressed(with speed decrease) and cutted(without some sounds\videos), so you can try

also psx4m 0.4.4 and psx4m-gui 0.4-3 already in devel
for me autoframeskip work's fine and very fast (without OC, with cyclemult 4 i get 60fps in some games(with sound, without sound lags) like nfs3hp)
also i send a pm for eq(russian symbian programmer,http://www.summeli.fi/?p=1912) to ask about 3d acceleration support (i can compile psx4m with pete's GPU plugin but it freese at start)

[Kevstacey]

cool, ill give one a try and post my progress :)

[tabris]

anyone get blue lines everytime they switsch roomes in ff9 since psx4m 0.4.4?

tried to change cyclemultiplyer and frameskip but no luck with that.

also tried to start game new to see if my save on memory card was coruptet but no luck with that too.

but awesome work bonapart, you are awesome!!

[nicholes]

i think everyones xtermial is same!!!!!

[bonapart]

nicholes, i just ask to make me sure that you sue plain maemo xterm
in fact i doesn't figure what can be wrong with your n900(flash only can guarantee that it will work)

[nicholes]

nicholes, i just ask to make me sure that you sue plain maemo xterm

well ya, i think i should falsh my n900 now since getting too much problems with psx4m not worikng + virtual key board has gone +app manager keeps loading and some times says "no application installed" my paint does not work etc..tried to repair eveything but result is zero...i m going to falsh it in the next week and install fresh psx4m and will post the result here.THANKS for the help.cheers!!

[tabris]

New version runs like a charm for me on stock speed(no overclock).Only tested resident evil1 anf final fantasy 9 but they work really good. The blue is still there when you switch rooms but its not as bad as in the previous version, to me it dont matter cause its only there for a moment.

[bonapart]

if anybody have some free time please share you gaming experience at different games in psx4m here (http://maemo.team16.ru/index.php?page=5)

[tabris]

there seems to be a plroblem with the site cause the value you enter for cyclemutliplyer is never displayed in the table it justs copy what you entered for avg ingame frames

[bonapart]

oh, yes, sorry for mistake, already fixed

i have take some talk with EQ and he says that his GL version very specific to symbian so 3D acceleration won't be soon as i planned :mad:

[Fredook]

:( :( :( :(

[mestour]

can u use this OpenGL 2.0 to OpenGL ES 2.0 Wrapper
http://forum.openhandhelds.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=884

[samipower]

very thanks for your response . thanks bonapart

[bonapart]

mestour: i afraid i can't use it; read last message at that topic and look at last commit at google code...

[Tedri Mark]

would still find it very handy to be able to save game-specific settings, so you don't have to remember which cycle multiplier value works best for which game...

[bonapart]

appended to todo list
// still trying to make peteGPU work

compatible list still empty (link in signature)

[Fredook]

come on bonapart you are the best :D

[AgogData]

never tried psx4m,,is it better than psx4all ?
back before preenv games i tried GTA1, yu-gi-oh, resident evil 3, and my top game till now FF7 all with scph1001 worked like ps1

[bonapart]

psx4m is based on psx4all so it should be better(but compatible it lower because some speed hacks)
also you can look at this movies (http://www.youtube.com/user/OpenMobileWizard) or download and decide by yourself

// peteGPU looks to be portable to GLES from GL, if i will have some free time it will be ready in near week

[cedlmw]

thanks for your hard work bonapart :)

[AgogData]

@bonapart: ff8 is working ?? it didn't work with psx4all (as i read here)
so, can i have both psx4m and psx4all or they will conflict ?

[bonapart]

they conflict
look at movies, ff8 is one of them...

[AgogData]

i saw the first minute of the movie,,it was very smooth and the graphics are awesome,,did you do something ? or just installed psx4m ?

EDITED : you are overclocking right :D

[Magik]

EDITED : you are overclocking right

Yep.
If you want games like FF8 to be smooth you MUST overclock your device.
Even samsung galaxy with psx4droid coughs with Final Fantasy 8 :p

// peteGPU looks to be portable to GLES from GL, if i will have some free time it will be ready in near week

Great news!! :D

[crail]

kula world is waaay slower on psx4m than psx4all. why is that?

[mestour]

can we use pocket iso on this emulator??

"Use latest version of PocketIso to compress your games and optimize your game for emulator, by this way you can preserve your memory "
space too
.http://fpsece.net/download.html#PocketISO

[bonapart]

crail: cyclemultiplier, frameskip is standart? (i use frameskip auto,cyclemult - 3,4 for all games)

mestour: you can try, removing sound\videos will increase speed, but compressing will decrease speed(thats why psx4m have no support of zipped games)

[hardkorek]

I need some help.
Whenever i'm trying to run psx4m after update i have "Error loading image_name"
It was work fine in earlier versions.

i'm using command (symlinked to /usr/bin)
psx4m -runcd name_of_image

It happened once that psx4m process was still working in background despite error message.

I'm using power-kernel 45

[pantera1989]

Hi bonapart. Thanks for all you are doing. I really like your dedication. I am testing games to add to the compatibility list on your website. I have added 2 so far and will be adding more in the future. It takes some time to rip games..and with only one drive I can only do one at a time :). But there are some games that just won't work.

Could you add another column called: "psx4m version". This way one can also add the version so one would know ex: Crash Bandicoot 1 did not work with v4.4 but might work with 4.5. Then you can add the status "not working" too.

[crail]

mestour: you can try, removing sound\videos will increase speed, but compressing will decrease speed(thats why psx4m have no support of zipped games)

i use multiplier on 6 for psx4all with kula world, its full speed. on psx4m with all combinations its twice as slow and the beach ball is green. i dont think its faster at all than psx4all.

[bonapart]

Good news peoples
EQ, 2010-11-15 00:58:04: Хорошо, зная, как тяжело найти инфу по таким темам, я дам тебе сурсы gpu. Скомпилить ты его не сможешь, ибо у меня ГПУ встроен в сам эмулятор, но зато ты сможешь увидеть, что и как там заменено на аналоги
in fast translation
EQ: 2010-11-15 00:58:04: Well,cuz i know how hard to find info for that i will give you GPU sources. You can't compile it cuz it's part of modified emu, but you can see how replace GL calls to GL ES
so 3d acceleration will be soon

crail: sorry, but i have nothing to say about it, some games is faster, some games is slower

pantera1989: ok

[Surreptitious]

Exciting times indeed. I've refrained from installing PSX4m due to the fact that I really don't want to overclock my n900. But with 3d acceleration, I'm very interested. Brilliant work!

[nesrazz]

.
.
Can we put the antialiasing option for the Games.
thanks

[bonapart]

NO
// it's lagging without AA
// a lot of peteGPU is removed cuz it's GL ES incompatible, or somebody was too lazy to rewrite it

[samipower]

latest version ps4m 0.44-1 freezes in games. the game freeze and not run-

and i readed

peteGPU looks to be portable to GLES from GL, ,

and you say that it is not possible, more code to rewrite ok.

not problem. the emulator run well

[bonapart]

samipower: i mean that 90% is GL ES compatible, 10% is not(AA, Blur is removed as i think that it's make a huge impact to FPS and as hard-rewritable )

[warren]

hi all
Need your help, im a few steps away to make it work.
and yes i did google first. But i couldnt find what i was looking for.
i have psx4m installed, bios, and icon in destop. Before setting the keys i could make the game work with no sound, after setting the keys, it says now that i dont have the bios, and i need to place it in home/........ i forgot the path... checking again...

MMm ...now is working...this is really odd .. and i didnt touch anything

Can the bios be in any folder ? or should it be in a specific folder ?

[bonapart]

read faq in my subscription

[warren]

read faq in my subscription

Noob here
sorry bonapart i dont know where your subscrition is.. :(

it would be easier if someone says yes or no, i think

[bonapart]

from faq (http://maemo.team16.ru/index.php?page=7)
after copy bios in MyDocs folder wtih name scph1001.bin (/home/user/MyDocs/scph1001.bin)
it will be easier if all will read help before ask, i think : here is 210 pages, 50% is stupid questions from those who didn't read previous pages

I know it goes into Mydocs, But im asking if i can place the bios in a different folder, and still make it work
like in the same folder i keep my psx games
simple as that

Edit
Wipeout, sloww but playable
samurai showdown, music breaks up, still playable

[bonapart]

warren : NO

[hardkorek]

hardkorek: try to reboot first

Still the same. Does anyone have similar issues?
I'm didn't do anything weird with device except installing early hostusb patches.

[bonapart]

hardkorek: do you use absolute path to image? (/home/user/MyDocs/image.bin) or relative(image.bin)

[warren]

Still the same. Does anyone have similar issues?
I'm didn't do anything weird with device except installing early hostusb patches.

i never had to use terminal, except to set the keys.
i found out that when having the phone in mass storage, i got error messages and i couldnt load anything with psx4m

[bonapart]

warren: when you in mass storage mode all memory is unmounted!!! it's not a bug of any application (try to play dvd without inserting dvd to player...)

[hardkorek]

hardkorek: do you use absolute path to image? (/home/user/MyDocs/image.bin) or relative(image.bin)

I wasn't and it was the problem. Absolute path work fine.

Damm i just reflashed:)

[bonapart]

hardkorek: from some version (i guess 0.4.3-2) psx4m always use relative pathes from /home/user (no matter which dir is current)

[bonapart]

do not update to 0.4.5 version !

[Kevstacey]

i updated before reading! games do not launch now from the gui :(

[unnamedXD]

where can i read a changelog ?
why i shouldn't update to 0.4.5 ?
Failed to create OpenGL context!!!
Aborted

oh i see why lol

[bonapart]

i post it right after update...
unnamedXD,Kevstacey: lol ^_^

in fact it work... some bugs with hildon and GL ES(already banned at c_plus_plus@conference.jabber.ru)

[Fredook]

bonapart what´s change in the new version? (sorry for my english)

[bonapart]

GL ES support
DO NOT INSTALL IT!

[Fredook]

GL support? wow! okok i wait your order to install it :D

[pantera1989]

Lol bonapart in each version's changelog you write "Do not try it" :).

Anyway good work and good progress. If anyone upgraded already you can downgrade by in xterm as root you do:

apt-get install psx4m=0.4.4

[bonapart]

pantera1989, only in 0.4.5 and nobody read it.
an yeah, previous one was 0.4.4-1 so
apt-get install psx4m=0.4.4-1

[nesrazz]

.
.
Old version can be downloaded from here

psx4m 0.4.4-1

http://www.dosyaupload.net/41psx4m-0.4.4-1.zip

[warren]

damn i upgraded too.... thanks for the downgrade info....

[Bigmac_hk]

I started playing ff7 and its been working fine but a few days ago the colour has changed in it such as characters shadows have turned from black to blue and the save/load screen has gone from blue to black. Various other colours seem different also.

Also resident evil 1 now flickers and sound is alot more muffled but a few days ago it was also fine.

Only thing I have done is updated apps from the app manager. Any ideas why this is happening? Both these were run at 900 MHz with psx4m version 0.4.4-1, frameskip 4 and cycle multiplier 2.

[bonapart]

Bigmac_hk: game experience publish here (http://maemo.team16.ru/index.php?page=5)

0.4.5-1 in devel (no big changes from 0.4.4-1(just removed asm gpu code(ff bugs i guess))) feel free to update

PeteGPU is compiling but all emu freeze and i don't know what's wrong so you can try to help or just wait

[Bigmac_hk]

I have tried all sorts of settings including the ones you have given from the table but still cant fix the colour errors, even turned both frameskip and cycle multiplier off but still no fix. Its like the colour rendering has gone alot darker and turned all the characters yellow like the simpsons lol.

[Kevstacey]

GL ES support
DO NOT INSTALL IT!


ive downgraded again for now,
but does this mean when GL ES support is fixed it will support more games?

thanks bonapart, amazing work ;)

[Fredook]

Any new bonapart?? :P

[bonapart]

Kevstacey: i guess just graphical problems will be fixed and we will have more fps

[Kevstacey]

cool :)

will i be able to play rayman?

been wanting it to work for ages! lol

cheers :D

[yamakasi]

bonapart, you've just made my day

[ErwinJunge]

Bonapart,

I'd like to browse the most recent source, maybe I can help you with some stuff. The sources that I can view here http://code.google.com/p/psx4m/source/list don't seem to be the most recent though (last rev is from 4 days ago, 0.4.5 is from yesterday, right?) Do you use some other svn repo?

Greetings,

Erwin

PS Are you Deninberg on google code?

[bonapart]

ErwinJunge: latest source http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/source/p/psx4m/psx4m_0.4.5-1.tar.gz (already committed to svn)

Thanks. I prefer the svn, so I can see what your edits are.

[dewhoe]

jus spent 2 hours reading this ginormous thread, but stil cant find what i wanna know...i only have one question if anyone can help me...how can i play the damn game??? heres what i did:

-downloaded psx4all
-open psx4all
-load up "roms"
-looking for the file but nothing shows up, the files ive acquired is a .zip file and a .cue file, so i think ill unzip it via windows, but still nothing. when i got to file manager to look up the unzipped file, it says "data.bin.ecm". so whats should i do next folks?

[stooobs]

remove psx4all and install psx4m and psx4mgui its far better in every way
also it works with .iso .img and .bin(needs the .cue file with this 1 i think)

[bonapart]

.cue file is description and it's not used in anyway

[jimmybonsaville]

Hi Bona keep up the amazing work :D i still cant believe how much better this version is over the old smoku port. If you manage to crack the opengl code what sort of performance gains do you think we can expect? Promising times indeed :D

[bonapart]

i think it will be as with auto-frameskip(or with skiping at max) but more smoothly and without flashing in some games
if somebody realy can help with fixing gl i will try to improve recompiler(also i want to make some code changes which eq made for his port) which can make more speed gain (also i think that we must remove gtk depedence and use plain x11 with gl es or sdl with softGPU(if gl will be imposible) )

[Fötus]

It's so nice to see psx4m improving more and more!

well for a start you need the bios file, and emc files wont work you need .bin or .img or .iso

[wakabajasi]

it says "data.bin.ecm". so whats should i do next folks?

Also google for the "unecm" file and then drag and drop "data.bin.ecm" on this "unecm" and you will get "data.bin" file ;)

[dewhoe]

bonapart i tried autoframeskip option in psx4m 45-1 and it is slow . frameskip 8 is more better and cycle multi 3 are the perfect , and if you win fps up , with new plugin not rendered by software , yes by hardware open gles , incredible, you are a good developer.

[Radicalz38]

Hello mind if I ask but how come whenever I try to run game such as FFIX I get those back things on the effects and background? and also Dino crisis 2 I can't see the dialog box as it is all black...
As I can see here on the youtube video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd6zqIs6JU4)
graphics seems flawless although sounds on mine is better. I'm running mine on 1150 overclocked but get all those graphic problems.

[didik.wahyono]

can i use /dev/input/js0 to control dis emulator?

[elp]

pls help ,how to save n load the game on psx4all ? :(

[bonapart]

didik.wahyono i guess you can't do this, but i think you can rebind /dev/input/js0 to normal keys and use they

[didik.wahyono]

didik.wahyono i guess you can't do this, but i think you can rebind /dev/input/js0 to normal keys and use they

thanks bonapart, We have the same idea. But i've tried to do that yesterday. but i did something wrong in the mapping, instead of mapping joystick, i was mapping the touchscreen panel by an accident. So i ended up flashing my phone to its original state. Can u help me with this rebinding?

[bonapart]

i have no joy, sorry
update 0.4.5-2, lot of speed ups, mainly in autoskip

[Fredook]

can we install this version bonapart?

[bonapart]

sure, already in devel

[fuyoh]

great improvement on the update, no more graphic glitches.

[Fötus]

It's so great to see someone as talented as bonapart work on this amazing emu.
The newest version is really great and a big improvement. Thanks.

[yamakasi]

am I doing something wrong ? because the framerate is the same before the update.
I use this configuration to play Crash 2 and MegamanX 6:
the frame skip to 8 and cycle multiplier to 2

[bonapart]

performance improvements mainly in auto frame skip (options->frameskip->auto)

[yamakasi]

silly me
thanks for you hard work bonapart! the thanks button doesn't do you justice

Do you have a chance to correct this difference

[bonapart]

i afraid that PSX have this **** graphics in real (n64 is more powered in fact), if gpu acceleration will be done i'll think about difference AA options, but it'll not be soon

[yamakasi]

smooth maps and anti alias, maybe it will possible after the gpu acceleration?

Good News, i've managed to re-map the USB joystick connected via USB h-e-n to keyboard using Xjoypad.. So now i can plays most of the emulator using joystick.

[bonapart]

didik.wahyono: can you provide any how-to ?

and yeah, thanks for man's from Switzerland with fr-fr locale for compatible list (counter say that he use n900 for it also), he append 98,3 % of all roms

[bonapart]

psx4m 0.4.5-3 update: accelometer control(to setup: echo "xxx yyy">/opt/psx4m/config , where xxx is sensitive level, yyy is start angle for up\down, default is 150\500)
nfs3 works fine with it...

psx4m-gui 0.4-4 update: this wish (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=873164&postcount=2061) and accelometer enabler(configuration in file /opt/psx4m/config)

I connect my general USB joystick to N900 via USB-A to MicroUSB converter. Then i ran the USB hostmode enabler (USB h-e-n) to enumerate and mount this devices. I downloaded Xjoypad (http://members.chello.at/erich.kitzmueller/ammoq/down/xjoypad.zip) for Ubuntu source and recompile it using Maemo SDK into executable. Thats it. I just need to run this executable, run the PSX4All, and my N900 turns into real game console with real game controller instead of using small embedded keyboard.

[samipower]

hello bonapart, it is incredible , very good job man,
but one question

now latest version are rendered by software?

any version on the future had open gles ?? open gl pete open gl hardware acceleration??

i remember that you said that it is freeze or glitches not??

well , go go go, very well .

can u use it to control PSX4all, I cant find any option in PSX4all to use Joystick instead of keyboard.

[bonapart]

samipower, yeah, i returned to soft render(peteGPU uses GL render which is n900 unsupported,my trying to rewrite it to GLES seems to work but cause emy freeze)
in undefined future HW 3d acceleration wih GLES will be used(i have not a lot of free time to it)

didik.wahyono: you should configure sixaxix to map your joystick to keyboard keys and use they from emu

[jimmybonsaville]

Keep up the amazing work Bona im just amazed how much you guys do for us with no financial reward or gain!! I really look forward to seeing the improvements when gpu implementation starts rolling out. Hopefully the crashing bug will be something simple haha

Anyways just a little bug report on your latest release. When using the accelerometer controls ive noticed a high drop in performance and i run at 850mhz. The games ive tried are ridge racer and rage racer. I dont use the accel function as i have a gamegripper but thought id let you know :D

Keep up the great work :D

ps.....fancy looking into the Amiga emu aswell haha it could do with some of your skills ha

Btw does overclocking fix the laggy/muffled sound in resident evil?

[FP125]

on xterm type:

mkdir /home/opt/psx4m
chmod 777 /home/opt/psx4m
chown user /home/opt/psx4m

When I first start PSX4M I get the message:

You should setkeys to use psx4m

The only thing I can select is Done.

When I select donw it says:

Fatal error, check permission of file /home/opt/psx4m/keys

I tried the above with no luck

Any ideas?

I have gone back 20 or so pages but do not know how to create the file with 20 lines of zeros!! Annoying

[FP125]

Ok - followed this:

Q:"fatal errore check permission of file /home/opt/psx4m/keys"
A: install rootsh package and open x-terminal
in x-term write follows

$ root
$ mkdir -p /home/opt/psx4m/
$ chmod 777 /home/opt/psx4m/
$ rm /home/opt/psx4m/keys
$ chown user /home/opt/psx4m/

and restart psx4m-gui

however when I type the highlighted section I get:

cannot temove home/opt/psx4m/keys - no such file or directory

[FP125]

Still plugging away at the this and have hit a brick wall

Managed to get the key mapper loaded

Downloaded Tomorrow Never Dies - was an ecm file so I ran the unemc application and put the resulting.bin image in my phone

I have the correct bios image there as well ( not getting any bios erros )

I run psx4m and hightlight the .bin file and press start - it just hangs on a black screen.

Any advice?

then leave it be... if it doesn't exist then why delete something which isn't there?:confused:

[bonapart]

if it exist it can have wrong permissions and prevent psx4m from working

[Tedri Mark]

Great progress, just a couple of (boring, i'm afraid) improvements to be made:

If the 'close gui after launch' option is switched off, t is possible to press start and launch psx4m multiple times. maype put in some sort way that the gui detecgts if psx4m is already running, and asks if you want to stop the current game and load a new one..

The other thisng is itis not obvious that the frameskip and cycle mult options go beyond 5, maybe add the pseudo scrollbar down the side...


Oh and it seems you've implemented the 'per game' settings, but i didn't see it mentioned in the changes list on here. Might be worth mentioning it, as there's proably a few people wondering why the second game and so on are now running slower than they did on previous versions...

[bonapart]

Tedri Mark:The other thisng is itis not obvious that the frameskip and cycle mult options go beyond 5, maybe add the pseudo scrollbar down the side...
it's QT bug =) (Hildon doesn't use scrollbars and qt for maemo doesn't use it)

Thanx a lot!

EDIT: Same error has FP125 :/

Some ideas?

EDIT2: Solved! Just made a mistake :P

[colla84]

nemesis--enrico?

anyway bonapart.. you are so cool :) i have now installed psx4m and psx4m-gui... set keys (after message permission denied, and x terminal code) now i need the bios... i see there are a lots of bios... need 1 in particular? (i see shcp.1001) but i think whith other bios are better for use all games ( americans, europe and china) each bios for countries...

At the moment i want use the game Theme Hospital... i try it with other emulators... pcsx and psxall,their are fail emulators... game are sooo slowly and sound is crap... tomorrow try to run your program... i hope in you :) (and i think all members of maemotalk)


so go again otw.. and see ya for update byez and thanks for your great work !

[bonapart]

colla84: you can use any psx bios, just rename to scph1001.bin. If something is slowly try to increase cycles\frameskip, sound is crappy in many games

[colla84]

colla84: you can use any psx bios, just rename to scph1001.bin. If something is slowly try to increase cycles\frameskip, sound is crappy in many games

in others emulators only frameskip you can change, but i try but not has good speed the sound isn't good enough


btw i try 1150 Mhz too but no apprezzable speed... so try psx4m now :) after download the bios.

edit: have some wrong in the upload the roms.... i have create a folder in mydocs/psx for put my roms... so, I open xterminal then i make this command...

psx4m -runcd 'filename'

system say error loading! :mad:

mmm i see the image have this extension ..img and not .img .. i try to modified! but n900 crash

reedit: modified but same wrong... error loading!

The filename is (PSX.Theme.Hospital.img)

okey just run with gui... a last question... when run the game for go back to dashboard? the games go in fullscreen need the options dashboards with the camera button? thanks !! the better set for frameskip and cycle???


p.s. the new frontier is take the ps4m run games of the ps2 :D

You can't it's a hardware limitation :p
Perhaps let's wait for some 512mb GPU and hopefully we could get ps2 to run @ 10 to 20fps :D

[bonapart]

colla84:average settings is OC to 900Mhz,cycle to 3,frameskip to auto, look at homepage: compatible list (http://maemo.team16.ru/index.php?page=5) , also gui save per game settings so you can find it by yourself and post at homepage for others (there just one man (http://forum.maemofrance.fr/viewtopic.php?f=64&p=33360#p33360) who really append new entries to compatible list, big respect for this work to him(according to page counters and 4F annotates) )

p.s. the new frontier is take the ps4m run games of the ps2
i think that i should make psx4m running without bugs and OC, using HW acceleration and nice AA to TV-out. also ps2 emulation isn't possible at our device, it's very powerfull for normal PC(we will have any chances only if we will have MIPS R5900 compatible cpu with freq 800Mhz at least with powerfull GPU and a lot of coders and moneys )

[colla84]

and? :D a phrase of Obama is.... YES WE CAN XD

i have another problems with this games lol.... now io can run and use keycam for dashboard... mmm when start the base menù sometimes the words disappear and reappear .... mmm with auto frameskip and 900 mhz cpu freq. and 0 cycles lol... :D i try all cycles... nvm... if you want that rom i cant post it :D

[bonapart]

i'm from russia =) so we can't:D

in fact i wish copy from here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_1_games) to here (http://maemo.team16.ru/index.php?page=5) with user opinions of gameplay on psx4m =)

[Tedri Mark]

not my problem at all(if somebody isn't patient did not tolerate it's their problem)


Well, as a programmer, it *is* your problem to anticipate users doing something wrong, I pointed it out as a small bug that I imagined you had yet to encounter and would want to sort out.

For me i found it when i accidentally double clicked the game name, and then pressed start. Easily done.

I'm doing a lot in actionscript, and have to do the same thing, making things idiotproof..

as for the per game settings, yep i missed that, when i get an update notification i generally check the forums for people saying 'it doesn't work, my fone exploded!' messages, and if there are none then i install...

Another thing i thoughnt of is a default frameskip and mjultiplier in the settings, so unless you've changed the per game settings, those values will be whateveer you set in there...

Coming along great though!

[samipower]

cycle 3 and frameskip 8 run well all games, or auto , You can try cycle 4,


this configuration is the winner , i tried it.

bye.

[colla84]

and the problem for the appear and dissapear the words in the menù? :|

i try to upload the imgaes

( i try all cycles but the problems is the same)

[bonapart]

second is psx memcards: they are located at /home/user/MyDocs with names mcd001.mcr and mcd002.mcr (so make sure that they can be created(right chown and chmod))

[Radicalz38]

@bonapart
1 question... Is it possible to use memscanner on psx4m? Well I was using cheat engine on EPSXE on PC

[bonapart]

I had... need to remake it?

it can help

Radicalz38: yes you can. in fact psx4m is only emu that doesn't created by rules of osso-games(i use picodrive and DrNokSnes, don't know about others) and doesn't close when you try to minimize it, so it's only emu that can be scanned by memscan =)
memscanner not fully ported so it can be very strange for anybody except me ;-)

[AgogData]

memscanner not fully ported so it can be very strange for anybody except me ;-)

Ok will download memscanner...
What do you mean very strange? Do you mean that the UI looks different than the PC version memscanner? Well if that's the case then it won't do any difference on me cause I never used memscanner yet :p
Well at least I have tweaking knowledge on memory scanners so I think I can analyze it a little. Just too bad I can't use it on any other emulators :(
Perhaps I can resummon again my good old n95 and open up sorcerer there.

Fair enough, like I say, I thought you might want to know about bugs in your project that you might not have been aware of, how highly they are prioritised is obviously up to you (that particular improvement wolud be somewhere near the bottom of the list, if it was my project)

[AgogData]

you have add all files in same folder?

all my emu games (gba, mupen64plus, psx) are all in MyDocs :)

bonapart,,i converted the mdf to iso by magiciso but didn't work too !

[Radicalz38]

@bonapart
I have a suggestion but I don't know if this is possible. Well here goes...
Is it possible to implement where we just steady click on key on the n900's keypad then a multiple click event would happen? Really great for games like FFVIII where there's a boost ability on your guardian force where you have to tap the X key as many as you can and it would increase it's attack damage.

[Fredook]

Any new about gpu support bonapart??

[bonapart]

AgogData: i'll try this game later

second is psx memcards: they are located at /home/user/MyDocs with names mcd001.mcr and mcd002.mcr (so make sure that they can be created(right chown and chmod))

i placed the memory cards file at MyDocs and i did chmod and chown them, but when I try to load from memoy card there is nothing inside the memory card.

[Magik]

just tried psx4all + bugs bunny.mdf + scph 1001 and didn't work

So what's happening? Did you tried to disable cycle multiplier?

i'm from russia =) so we can'

In Russia emulators code YOU! :D

[AgogData]

So what's happening? Did you tried to disable cycle multiplier?

in .mdf the sony logo then weird blue sony logo without the usual PS logo and nothing happen,,when i converted it to iso there is only the golden sony logo and also stays thats way.
thats also with cycle multiplier down to 1 cause there is no enable/disable only numbers

@bonapart
Thanks for clarifying! :)
BTW 1 last thing... Well can there be gameshark support? :D or alternatively can we use the memory card file here with epsxe or any other pc emulators?

[bonapart]

Radicalz38: memcards should be pcsx-r compatible (but i don't test it)
gameshark support? may be.. all is possible, main question is when? and i don't know =)

AgogData: cycle - 0 is off state, btw in latest psx4m-gui is present cycle-off option

Magik: i mean that word of Obama not for me ;-)

[AgogData]

AgogData: cycle - 0 is off state, btw in latest psx4m-gui is present cycle-off option

im using psx4all but i'll try psx4m
btw : i tried another bugs bunny.iso just downloaded few minutes ago and the same happened again with psx4all

Thank you bonapart! Well your memscanner is a good alternative for gameshark :D I'm kind of getting the hang of it already :p
And the follow up question for the memory card or bios... Is there a way we can boot it using psx4m? You know the screeny like this?

i uninstalled psx4all and installed psx4m-gui, it gave me this msg in the pic and when i try to open a game its slow and dont use scph ..also /home/opt/psx4m is empty

Q: "fatal errore check permission of file /home/opt/psx4m/keys"
A: install rootsh package and open x-terminal
in x-term write follows

$ root
$ mkdir -p /home/opt/psx4m/
$ chmod 777 /home/opt/psx4m/
$ rm /home/opt/psx4m/keys
$ chown user /home/opt/psx4m/

and restart psx4m-gui


Q: "error! no bios found"
A: psx4m uses psx original bios, we do not provide it so you have two ways

* dump it from psx by yourself (google for instruction)
* download dumped ( it's illegal so no links,googling will help you)

after copy bios in MyDocs folder wtih name scph1001.bin (/home/user/MyDocs/scph1001.bin)




Dont use it in fullscreen mode and install the bios :D

can help a overclock of n9009 at 850Mhz ^^

Just successfully loaded my first game (Resident Evil)

Seems to run ok but the speech is so slooooooooooooow

The Team 16 websit edoes not mention any sound problems - am I doing anything wrong?

[bonapart]

Radicalz38: we can, but you can't =) i mean that sources allow to do it, but no switches allow to load bios ;-) // sorry for english
FP125: sound problem in most games :-)

[fuyoh]

question, where do I get the psx memory card file ?

[Magik]

AgogData sounds like corrupted copy of a game... maybe try another one?

where do I get the psx memory card file

If I remeber correctly the *.mcr files(memory cards) are stored in this dir:
/home/user/
Magik: i mean that word of Obama not for me

Yea I know :D It's a pretty famous mame you know ;)
eg: http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/demotivational-posters-in-soviet-russia.jpg

[AgogData]

thanks colla 84 and magik, got 2 more question. in psx4all when i put the bios in the main directory, it read it and every game starts with sony and ps logo and became faster,,now in psx4m before and after bios the same no logos and low speed
and why do games take a while to start up ?
the application is great btw and the videos became nicer

[FP125]

Jus trried Silent Hill - Team16 states all ok but my version has a big block around the sprites, then sprites disappear!

They recommend frameskip 5 and cycle mult 3 - is it just my version?

[Radicalz38]

Ok at last I came to the point I need to ask this question. So... how would I hotswap between discs? I finished FFVII disc 1 already and need to shift to disc2 but how do i do it?

And also BTW noticed some music doesn't play is it a codec limitation with n900? Like playing the opening of FFVII it doesn't play any sounds at all.

[Magik]

So... how would I hotswap between discs?

Before you need to change CD game gives you an option to save. Save. Turn off the emu. Pick desired cd in the emu and start it. Load saved game and it should work.

[bonapart]

i found some bug : memcards can also be placed in /usr/home/user/mcd001.mcr /usr/home/user/mcd002.mcr ...
so if you have problems with memcards:

root
mkdir -p /usr/home/user/
chmod 777 /usr/home/user/
chown user /usr/home/user/


i'm try to find bug that cause peteGPU to freeze emu, but found 2 bugs =)
second is that GUI always run HLE version emu, bugfixes will be in nearest time


**** =) 3 bugs
i made something wrong and we can't see bios loading =) we can just hear sound of loading

meantime if somebody wish he can try to start psx4m from x-term without -runcd switch (it will enable bios support and disable hle)

// updated hour later
// i have good news!
// peteGPU now don't freeze psx4m! now it just don't draw anything,make 2 windows(one for drawing,second for keyhandling), create a big slowdown on emuspeed (i can hear only sound,it lagging as never before)

// hour later
// i hear sound as it should be(i mean speed), emu react to keys, but gpu still doesn't draw anything :'(
// so i still searching a problem

[AgogData]

just tried crash team racing, a little slow with normal clocking + 3 cycle multiplier,,more slower with auto frameskip and 5 cycle multiplier.
p.s. is psx4m's menu logo a big T ? just like T player ?

[bonapart]

AgogData: i use this logo on all my projects by default =) if you have nicer logo for this project(it should be gpl compatible) we can create a voting for a new logo ^_^
and yeah, all gaming experience post at homepage
here post only questions about psx4m in common

[samipower]

Go! Go! Go! bonapart

finally , i am secure that you will get do it.

is very difficult re-write opengl to gles and you are trying do it .


go go go, psx4m hardware acceleration gles is near i can see it.

more fps good sound , more compatibility

is incredible man.

i am a player and you are my idol.

[bonapart]

let's spam about it when it will be done, ok? cuz right now i have only startable project without real hw-acceleration and you have only beatiful dreams and there is no place to talk about something :-(

[samipower]

i thinked that you are using this

http://www.pbernert.com/gpupetexgl209.tar.gz

to re-write to Gles n900

, not spam.

i am not spammer , are you crazy??

i only say my opinion and my experience,
i tried all n900 psx emulators

pcsx all versions
psx4all all versions
psx4m all versions (without gui) (with gui)

and nitdroid psx latest version

i am not spammer , only say my dreams?? , only say that all people wish .

smokku stopped this proyect and you has implemented full screen and accelerometer and others , it is well.

it is very difficult i know it .

see my videos page : http://www.youtube.com/samipower and you will can see ....

[bonapart]

i used http://www.pbernert.com/gpupeopsopengl178.zip =)
peteGPU 2.x branch is source-closed =) you can search this thread, somebody already shown this question.
you tried all version, which one is better ? =)
btw. i send friend request on youtube =)

[samipower]

the better version are first version with full screen , pcsx slow, psx4all slow, psx4all nitdroid slow , psx4m fast and first with full screen , are the better, latest version run more slow any games that after run well and run well others.

i choose first psx4m with full screen.

and i tried fpsce in windows mobile and it run perfect .

and i played psx one games in psp and run perfect.

i tried psx emulator in all platforms and only run well in pc,psp,windows mobile in other run max-minus ,

windows mobile fpsce run well

Ports: psx4all
android psx4all
maemo psx4all
symbian psx4all

i used them hosptial i try a lot settings.. but with fullscreen isn't good is slowly, sound it's crap in a lot of games....


so i read the Gles utility.... it's a joke? That can help us?

[bonapart]

colla84: yeah, 225 pages of total lies and fakes =) we are doomed and that nothing will not help us
smoku still with us?http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd106407/1519847207untitled.png

[samipower]

colla84 use frameskip 8 and cycle 3 or 4 and sound without full screen and run and n900 overclocked 950mhz or 1000-1100-1150

and you can run all games without problem,. it is not a joke, try it

[smoku]

smoku still with us?

I am a MeeGo guy now.
But if you cry loud enough I might hear you.

Congrats on the improvements to the emu. :)

[bonapart]

smoku: you should know that all improvements was there before(or not very hard to implement)
do you think about continue development? it'll be very nice(i'd already removed glesport from sources and had rewrited some part of peteGPU to GLES so i think with you help we can publish HW-accelerated version very soon...)

[smoku]

I might back to working on emus once I have a portable ARM device again.
So far I didn't find N900 successor...

[Reffyyyy]

@smoku

I thought you have a Dell Streak?

[samipower]

reffyyy del streak run android not maemo .

[warren]

whats the new version of psx4m ? or is it coming any soon

[Reffyyyy]

It's a portable ARM device...

I know that it's not Maemo.

[AgogData]

did you do that in your n900 ?

[samipower]

AgogData YES

[phase315]

it happenes to me only with bugs bunny cause that game doesn't work, maybe your game doesn't work with the emulator too

[phase315]

thanks AgogData,

Now i just need to find a working version of FF7

someone PM me if you know where =X

[AgogData]

*cough* torrent *cough*

[tabris]

amazing work bonapart!! thanks for all your hard work an this project!!

hope you dont mind if ask a few stupid questions?

what exactly is the cycle multiplier?

does it let the emulatitet psx cpu skip instructions?
or does it kind of overclock the emulated psx cpu?
do we geht those grafik glichtes when using cycle multiplier cause the psx cpu and gpu arent in sync anymore?

sory for my bad english^^

[bonapart]

i'm not exactly sure what is cyclemultiplier is =) as i read somewhere in sources it's multiplier cause to make more that one instruction at time (and if no hard gpu load at this it will make emu faster)
it doesn't skip instruction or emu will crash all games =)
we get graphical issues due to frameskip, not cyclemultiplier (for me it's 100% true)
// My english is worst too, so sorry me too

[FP125]

Is there any game that is truely playable though?

I have tried several and not much joy with any of them.

The problem is that you need to hear the speech and with some not having subtitles available you have not got a clue what is going on. Thinking Dino Crisis here.

Is there a list of games that run smooth with good speech ( or where none is required )

There is the Team 16 site but that states Silent Hill runs fine and my main sprite disappears on mine!

[bonapart]

list of games is users created and is unmoderated(any suggestions?), as far i know list is uniq
