For anyone who wants the r10 release now, I compiled it myself.
Just download the zipfile in the link, decompress it, you'll find a file named "pcsx".
On the device, do the following:
1. Move /opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx to /opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx-old
2. Copy the just downloaded pcsx to /opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx
Step 1 is optional, but recommended so that you can undo the procedure by replacing pcsx again with pcsx-old
This comes with the usual warning about no warranty etc etc, but it works for me and should be a nice workaround until bonapart finds the time to roll out a proper update.
EDIT: This does not include the maemo specific fixes as noted by bonapart: "(different saves, fullscreen switch,save+- keys, something else i can't remember)". This may or may not mean your savestates will get screwed up. I don't use savestates so I can't test this. Please comment if you do use them and have tried this version.
ErwinJunge, yeap, it compiles, it doesn't work with bios(just doesn't show any window)
or it's my bios problem ?
ps. step 3: chmod +x /opt/maemo/usr/games/pcsx
p.p.s you just compiled version from Notaz repos or insert latest maemo build fixes too(different saves, fullscreen switch,save+- keys, something else i can't remember)?
I didn't try with bios, since notaz recommends not using a bios. The games I tried (the Crash Bandicoot series) worked fine without a bios.
I just compiled notaz's code, didn't try to include all your fixes since those are hard to identify. I tried diffing your latest release with notaz r8, but the resulting diff was a complicated mess. Integrating a new upstream release is easier if you follow debian packaging guidelines (orig.tar.gz + diff.gz). See http://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging for more info. That would enable the use of the "uupdate" command to simply switch out the upstream source for the new upstream source.
I acknowledge that this is not a proper upgrade, but for people not interested in the extra features you provide it's a reasonable temporary fix. I probably should have mentioned this in my original post though, so thanks for the clarification.
I still think it would be a good idea to release your coming upgrade in 2 parts: upgrade the core first, upgrade the ui afterwards.
yeap, i can release version tomorrow ( main throuble for this was bios...)
@ErwinJunge: can you link me to place where Notaz say about bios? guess hi just broke something and use apple-way( we can't do it easy, so users must believe that it's bad\not needed\etc)
It's in the README file in the root of the pcsxrearmed source (and has been there since the first git commit on 2010-11-16).
"PCSX-Reloaded has a very capable Internal HLE BIOS that can run many games without problems. It is recommended that you use it. However, if you own a real PlayStation, you may be able to use your own BIOS image. PCSX-Reloaded will find it in ~/.pcsx/bios/ or /usr/share/psemu/bios/ if you place it there. This can improve compatibility, especially with certain games and with the use of memory cards."
