Exophase has released a new version of gameplaySP, the homebrew GameBoy Advance emulator for the PSP, which offers a simplistic, yet powerful interface and engine! This emulator is greatly improving with each release, further increasing ROM support as well as optimizing all parts of emulation. Great work Exophase!

New features/fixes in v0.8 include:
- Fixed bug in dead flag elimination, “alt” version no longer needed.
- Fixed EEPROM saves being saved as 32kb instead of 512bytes/8kb
- 32MB ROM support has been added. ROMS are “demand loaded” as necessary and page swapped out; there might be a small loading lag, but I have yet to ever really notice anything. NOTE: 32MB ROM support only works for unzipped ROMs.
- Save states have been added. See the save state menu for save/load options.
- Support for the real-time clock (RTC) chip in Pokemon cartridges and other games. The implementation is based off of VBA’s, whatever notes on gbadev I could find, and some of my own reverse engineering of what the games do… it might not be totally correct. Also, setting the time does not work.
- Per-game configuration. Currently this only saves frameskip and frameskip variation options.
- Removed the flash type option from the menu and instead added it to game_config.txt. Hopefully got everything - let me know if you find something that isn’t there. It’s pretty easy to add them if you have to.
- Added a display in the upper left-hand corner to indicate when fast-forward is on.- Added button bindings for save/load state.
- Found a fix of StrmnNrmn proportion: far too much unnecessary mutex synchronization was going on. Removing the two offending lines of code gave a massive speed boost for free. Enjoy.

Sorry, no. In your old post (in the other topic, where I flamed you (sorry)) you asked if it would work for 1.5/1.0, so I assumed you were on one of those firmwares, so I gave you the name of this emu.

no problem on the flaming...is there going to be any updates anytime soon which will enable 2.x FW play? if not the pspvba will work on 2.x right? I would go with that cause I wanna play the FFT advanced...

dorkdork777 · #9 (**permalink**) 11-06-2006, 03:56 PM

Well, loads of people have requested 2.xx support, and there haven't been any updates in a while, so I guess it's coming in a 0.9 or 1.0 release. And PSPVBA works on 2.x.

But why not just downgrade?? That'll let you play every homebrew ever made (that works on any firmware).

i have tried and could not get it to operate...I traded a friend for his 2.0 and tried but yeah...so i traded him back (mine was in better condition) and yeah just kept my snes games on here LoL

would final fantasy tactics advanced be ok to run on pspvba 1.2.4?
