How about a private alpha version?

I did it with the psx4gp2x version, so I might as well do it for psx4giz. (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have sorted out tons of issues with the dynarec, and it's starting to get up to speed. Thanks to Tinnus and Unai I have been busy with lots of ideas on optimizing this crazy code.

Here's a link to the "private" alpha version of psx4giz. It's current version is alpha 3c:



Since I want to keep this version at "low key" as possible, since it's still not working properly, it's not gizmospain newsworthy, so the link will expire in about 4 hours. If you want it after that, just ask someone with it. (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Things that are broken in this version:
- Save states do NOT work
- Changing games within the in-game menu do NOT work
- Compatibility might be different than previous releases, most likely theres a portion of games working on beta 2 that won't work on alpha 3.
- Sound is still disabled in this version.
- Interlacing is on by default, there's still small issues with interlacing, besides it decreases visual appeal.
- Some text in some games such as FF Tactics will be hard to read. Unai is working on fixing this.
- FF7 takes awhile to load (black screen on boot for about 1 minute) but it works. It's just skipping a splash screen. smile.gif
- The framerate indicator is on by default so...
*** VSyncRate gives the number of frames being displayed a second! ***
*** Framerate isn't the FPS, it shows how many *unique* frames are displayed a second ***
*** The FPS is BETWEEN the Framerate and VSyncRate ***

It's hard to give a good accurate FPS since we are using optimizations for only drawing frames if they changed since the last blit.

If you make a video of psx4giz in action, you might want to disable the Performance Stats in the in-game menu.

Let me know how this version handles. The more info, good or bad, on it the better.

Thanks!

That's good news.
Soon as I get home today i'll whack an ISO on and get some video footage of the performance. (But for now I really need to get some sleep)

Thanks for all your efforts zodttd (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ! This marks a milestone is giz history!


EDIT: Now this is probably a fault on my end but my the controls dont work at all once the game has loaded.

Just testing Ridge Racer - Getting vsync rates of up to 90 at the loading screen, 50 at the main screen, but the emu crashes once I try to start a game... :/

Gna try some other games, then will report back (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: Forgot to say, great work on upping the speeds! (IMG:https://gizmondoforums.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

EDIT2: No luck with either MGS or Tekken 3, both freeze at start of game (Konami Logo -> fade to black -> emu freezes). Before it was possible to get into the game further, but with slow framerates...

I fixed a compatibility issue that prevented many games from loading after Load Success. I also fixed the issue where controls wouldn't respond. This version is also very slightly faster than before.

Here's the latest version to test with:


***
I MUST STRESS:
You *CANNOT* switch games after loading a game! If you do, it will say Load Success but crash at a black screen right after!
Save states will most likely crash still!
***

I really appreciate everyones patience with testing these issues for me.

Quick update. The dynarec is still being improved, and things are going well for psx4all. I won't be able to post any updates for the next week though.
