Proving 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:
New in this version:
ColEm will be the next emulator to be brought up to the latest version of the PSP library. It will also include the ‘time rewind’ feature found in several other emulators.
I have not completely given up on Castaway PSP (I’m still poking it from time to time), but I am rather running out of options and patience.
For those of you wondering if/when the ‘rewind’ feature will make it to other emulators, especially computer emulators such as fMSX and Fuse, the issue is as follows.
As promised, ColEm has been updated. Here are the changes:
While I continue waiting for days on end for my next GameFly rental, I wanted to let you know what’s been going on lately.
First, fMSX 2.5.1 release is coming up tomorrow. This release should fix mostly sound issues, and bring fMSX PSP up to par with the official distribution.
Second, a ColEm release should be around the corner, though it will mostly be a maintenance release.
Finally, it may interest some of you to know that I’m currently trying to implement adhoc gameplay for one (and then many?) of the emulators. Things are going well so far, so here’s to hoping…
UPDATE Gaah, I meant 3.5.1, not 2.5.1
PSP “Slim”-compatible binaries have been added for all my emulator ports. Visit the specific emulator’s site and click the ‘Firmware version 1.00 and 2.00+’ binary link to download EBOOT’s compatible with older 1.00 firmware as well as the newer custom firmware.
Many thanks to the administrator of pspslimhacks.com for his help in testing.
Also, please note that I don’t have access to the “Slim” PSP model for testing. If any of the binaries don’t work, let me know.
I'm also a pretty big fan of classic computing, chiptunes and video games (which are the reason I got into computer programming to begin with).
This weblog was initially dedicated to my PSP emulator porting efforts; it has since been expanded to include my Android projects, and may also be used to detail other programming exploits.
