Maybe take a look at this topic http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32775

shinkamui worked on a opengl to es wrapper and got blender 3D running native on his N900.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

beli: because eq and summeli already ported GL to GL ES we should just wait some time for next release
and yeah, i can't download any source from that thread so it's fully useless for me

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

thank you Tedri Mark for the help i really did not notice that it can still scroll down it's hard to see thats why i was thinking if you guys using xterminal to change the frameskip up to 8 haha it was my bad and thanks for the help Tedri Mark

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

and bonapart is awsome! you really did a very good job on psx4m now it's almost perfect you really worked hard on this bonapart rulesl =)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

do we require a graphics driver or something? I installed the package via app manager and it installed fine. Downloaded the bios and placed correctly. I have also overclocked to 900mhz.
Ive been trying the game Crash Bash, I get the sony screen with the sound but after that it just exits.Am I missing something?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Really wanted Dracula to play - but it;s just too slow

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

ok ive tried a couple of other games and its just the same. No error message, it just exits after loading the sony screen.

Any Ideas? I am going through the pages from the beginning on this post but so far ive not come accross any required graphics driver, so what could I be missing here? I have even tried tweaking around the settings with frame rate etc

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk: try to start from x-term
for ex: "/opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m -runcd /home/user/MyDocs/image.iso -cyclemult 3 -autoskip"
also try without -runcd switch and if it will fail send me output from x-term with error message

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

im running rom files (.bin) not iso. I take it, that I need to rip the games to ISO to work?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

i'm using bin files also... Actually bin files are better than iso as they are binary files of a psx game.. It has far more complete details than iso

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk img/bin or iso doesn't matter ;-) so we wait error log ;-)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

just tried it and got this error

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

em, do you tried psx4all ? cuz psx4m should be placed right there as far i know ...

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

ive only installed psx4all

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

the title of the thread is misleading badboyuk ;) blame it on bonapart
bonapart will tell you to try his app (psx4m) just wait and see :p

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk : from my experience of using psx4all some bios doesn't supported(try to remove bios file from /home/user/MyDocs)
also i think you can try psx4m because psx4all is unsupported for now

AgogData: blame on me ^_^ i'm so lazy to create new thread. I'll think about it after full merging with eq\summeli sources with GLES support.

and read FAQ before use psx4m !

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I already tried without bios file. I assumed that Psx4all was the 1 to use. But ok I shall try out the other 1. Thanks for the help and letting me know :)

Will get back to you if any probs

cheers

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

hmm cant seem to set the keys, it just says check file permission.......

Anyone know how to edit/create the keys file?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

it asks me to set the keys when i load the gui version up but it then just gives me a fatal error and to check file permission and then just loads up the app and i can see tekken in the list.
Wonder why its not letting me change the keys


Its ok I found it on the FAQ for team16 site, will try that.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

ok ive now managed to get the keys configured. But I have the same issue as before, the app just exits when I hit start. Ive now got x-terminal open and entered the command you mentioned /opt/maemo/usr............. that brought up:

Started
CdromFile......................
(the rest is just the options that are enabled/disabled for emu)
but no errors, nothing its just sitting like that.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

with -runcd switch and without ?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

ok that seemed to work however just got a black screen but could hear the sound then it exited and shows an error message of Segmentation Fault.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

tried another game the same method and just the same result , you hear the sony bootup audio and then once that ends it exits back to x-terminal and displays Segmentation fault.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk: all roms fails with segfault without -runcd switch and freezes before screen initialization with -runcd switch, right ?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

yeah thats correct

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

bonapart : how can i run image.iso with this
using full screen cycle multiplier 2 and frame rate 3 ?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

AgogData: /opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m -runcd /home/user/MyDocs/image.iso -cyclemult 2 -frameskip 3 -fullscreen
you always can read list of options by "/opt/maemo/usr/games/psx4m --help"
also it can be very usefull to create .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/hildon to avoid using psx4m-gui (i have some idea to implement feature of creation desktop files to psx4m-gui)

badboyuk: i'll take a look to possible reason of errors, now i can only say that you can try another bios and try to reboot phone ;-)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

here's what i did using queen beecon, its crash 3 with one click only

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Alright ill try a diff bios, will have to do it later as once ive ran the emulator and exited then I cant get the handset to connect to the pc via mass storage unless I reboot (annoying) , got it on charge just now so will try it later. Spent way too much time on this today and still doesn't work :(
any recommendations on which bios I should try?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Ok, I have a couple of observations for you...

I've tried playing with the settings and here goes...
N900 default clock 600Mhz

Mortal Kombat 4 (MUTE, Frameskip 3, Cycle Multip. 5):
Intro videos - 35fps to 38fps
Menus - 33fps to 36fps
Ingame - 29fps to 33fps

Kula World (MUTE, Frameskip 4, Cycle Multip. 5):
Ingame - 27fps to 31fps

Crash Bandicoot (MUTE):
Intro videos - 30fps to 37fps
Map - 29 to 30fps
Ingame - game crashes

Crash Bandicoot 2 (MUTE):
Intro vidoes - 30fps to 35fps
Warproom - 28fps to 31fps
Ingame - game crashes

Crash Bandicoot 3 (MUTE):
Intro videos - 32fps to 42fps
Warproom - 30fps
Ingame - 28fps to 31fps

Kind of playable in a way. I am sure that at some point the games will be fully playable. I mean, right now it's all up to the CPU, yet we already have the games running roughly at 45%-55% of their speed. Pretty sweet.

If anyone could figure out why the game crashes when entering a level, that would be nice. I hope my observations are useful.

And last question - why doesn't the emulator have the PS1 startup screen?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

you must be n900 950mhz or 1150mhz with cycle 3 and frameskip 8 and games will run fast

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

what is the best setting for Final Fantasy IX? i want to play it so bad i can't make a perfect setting for it

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

ok ive tried a diff bios, still the same thing. Anyone know why this emu isnt working for me?
Ive got n64, mega drive, snes, etc and they are all working like a charm but this psx emu ive tried everything even a diff bios.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I got it working, as usual figured it out on my own.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk: what you do for this?

also some news ^_^
JSTAR: look to link in my subscription, we create compatible list with preferred game settings

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

I had to extract the image correctly using 3rd party tools. Been playing a few games but very slow and sluggish, even tho running at overclocked to 900mhz.
Which settings should I tweak for the games to get better results....is it frame skip or cycle mult?

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

badboyuk yea, increase frameskip and cyclemult (look at game compatible list for community recommend values)

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Hey,

Thanks for the great work bona, I got a question. Do I put the roms in a folder named scph1001.bin or the roms should be named that way? Im guessing the later but I cant see the roms eitherway.

Thanks,

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

bonapart question:
What about changing the CDs? It's not the "must have feature", but it would be useful for games like Baldur's gate where you have to play with save states(memory card saves are broken in this game). Is it even possible?

Roms can be placed anywhere. scph1001.bin is a BIOS file and should be put in /home/user/MyDocs folder(n900 main folder).

Naming of the roms doesn't matter.

Re: PSX4All Maemo Edition
 

Magik: i think GPU acceleration is more needed, when it will be stable working i'll try to implement it

confusedfella: bios always should be placed in /home/user/MyDocs/scph1001.bin , roms can be placed anywhere you wish
