What's new in 0.9.6

• Large general speed improvements
• "Software Skinning" option which speeds up many games with animated 3D characters
• Various fixes around stencil/alpha, reducing glow problems in Wipeout and Gods Eater Burst
• Timing improvements making more games run at the correct FPS, also fixing some audio issues
• More debugger features
• Option for four-way touch dpad, avoiding diagonal issues
• Individually resizable touch controls
• Add ability to switch UMD in multi-disc games (works for most)
• Very basic ad-hoc online play support, to be improved in future versions
• Support for "Immersive mode" full screen on Android Kitkat on devices that support it (Nexus 4, etc).
• Emulate PSP-2000 rather than the 1000 model by default. Not much different in practice.

What's new in 0.9.5

• Many, many emulation fixes:
  • bezier/spline curve support, fixing LocoRoco and others
  • stencil clear emulation, fixing Final Fantasy IV text
• Performance improvements in some games
• Post-processing shaders like FXAA, scanlines, vignette
• More solid save states (we will try to keep them working from now on. Save states only upgrade forward, not backward to older versions though).
• Change render resolution independently of window size
• Massive debugger improvements
• Win32 menu bar is now translatable
• Multiple UI bugs were fixed, and the UI instantly changes when a new language is selected
• Win32: Ability to store PPSSPP's config files and memory stick files in places other than the same directory
• Android-x86 support
• Unofficial port for modified Xbox 360 consoles
• Atrac3+ plugin no longer required. Symbian now supports Atrac3+ audio.
• Symbian audio and ffmpeg is now threaded for more consistent media processing.
• Haptic feedback support for mobile devices.
• Accurate system information for mobile devices.
• Qt audio has been fixed.
• Analog controller support for Blackberry.

ADHOC SUPPORT

This is based on coldbird code: http://code.google.com/p/aemu/ All Credit goes to him!

Status

Code is a complete mess and it's not fully functional yet, I still need to implement some functions and add a upnp lib(really important for people with routers).

I did test it with some games(emulator <-> real psp with the server running locally) and it's looking good:

• Worms Open Warfare: Ran just fine, I was able to play a whole match without problems
• Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: Runs fine too. Gathering Hall and embarking on quests Works
• Dissidia Duodecim 012: Doesn't work. It requires some functions that I haven't implemented yet. Also, it uses a port < 1000 and thats reserved for admin apps on linux, running the emu as sudo "solves" it, but it's far from ideal.
• Pacman World Rally: Works too.

Update (Kyhel) :

• Now compiles on both Mac OSX and Windows. For more details on how to play and build go to see there http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=3595&pid=59241#pid59241
• Got it tested windows <-> mac osx <-> psp, it works
• Monster Hunter 3rd HD works too, as well as God Eater Burst.
