VICE PSP version 2.2.1 released; includes EasyFlash emulation
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011On the subject of PSP updates
Friday, December 31st, 2010I would like to use this post to dispose with the elephant in the room (or the weblog, as it were) – it’s becoming more and more obvious that my PSP pursuits are going to have to take a back seat to my work on the Android apps; at least for a while.
I know several of you are waiting for an updated version of VICE, as well as updates on my promise to work on an Atari ST emulator – hopefully I will eventually have enough time to address them. I’d love to say “hang in there,” but I’m not completely certain of where things are heading exactly, and at this point I’d hate to make promises that I can’t keep. For those that keep the dream alive, thanks for your patience – I hope to not let it go unrewarded.

Future PSP and Android plans
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010Things are starting to settle somewhat since my move to Southern California, and that can only mean one thing – time to speculate.
PSP fans may be happy to learn that version 1.3.1 of SMS Plus PSP should be out soon. It fixes a handful of issues, and includes support for a few games that are unplayable in 1.2.x. It’s completed already, but there are issues with saved games that need to be worked out. VICE PSP should also receive a maintenance update shortly afterward.
ColEm PSP version 2.6.1 released
Sunday, September 12th, 2010Proving that I’m not actually dead, but restin’, is today’s release of ColEm PSP 2.6.1. It’s a pretty cool release, as it fixes games like Frogger and Heist, which are now playable. Straight from Marat’s documentation:
- State save file format (.STA) changed!
- Now clearing all RAM to zeros (Heist works)
- Now padding smaller ROMs with 0xFFs in LoadROM()
- Fixed Reset9918() to reset VDP completely (Boulder Dash and Frogger)
- Implemented SCREEN2 table address masking, thanks to Daniel Bienvenu

Sunday, May 16th, 2010New in this version:
- PSPLIB updated to latest version
- Images are now saved under PSP/PHOTOS/ColEm PSP
- Screenshot previews added to file browser
- Time rewind – use Control tab to set any button as the ‘Rewind’ button
- Automatic saving of modified controls (no longer necessary to press X to save)
