PPSSPP - a fast and portable PSP emulator ========================================= Created by Henrik Rydgård Additional code by many contributors, see the Credits screen Originally released under the GPL 2.0 (and later) in November 2012 Official website: http://www.ppsspp.org/ No BIOS file required to play, PPSSPP is in many ways a "HLE" emulator. To contribute, see [the development page](http://www.ppsspp.org/development.html). For the latest source code, see [our github page](https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp). For build instructions and other development tutorials, see the [wiki](https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/wiki). What's new in 0.9.6 ------------------- * Large general speed improvements and assorted bug fixes * "Software Skinning" option which speeds up many games with animated 3D characters (but may slow down a few, like Monster Hunter games - experiment with turning it off) * 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 dpad issues * Better looking and individually resizable touch controls * Add ability to switch UMD in multi-disc games (works for most) * Emulate PSP-2000 rather than the 1000 model by default. Not much different in practice. * Automatic install of games from ZIP files, like demos and many homebrew. * VERY basic ad-hoc online play support, to be improved in future versions. See below. * Software renderer improvements 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 (by Igor Calabria) ================================ This is based on coldbird's code: http://code.google.com/p/aemu/ All credit goes to him! Status ------ Code is a bit of a 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.
