Caprice32 4.1.0 DBG - Emulator for PS3

The developer behind Hatari for the PS3, is back with another PS3 emulator, the Caprice32 4.1.0 DBG . This Caprice 32 port allows for emulator of the Amstrad CPC 8bit home computers. And as always, you can find the official release statement from rtype below.

Hello ,

Originally, I was thinking about to not release to all until I update to the Caprice 4.2.0 version, but since I've no time left to solve some vdu bug in 4.2.0, I decide to release the dbg version based on the 4.1 version.

(As you can play some old good games with this version, but be sure to know what exactly is an Amstrad CPC computer before lunch it on the PS3 )

So ...

What?: A quick port of caprice32-4.1.0 to ps3 using PSL1GHTV2 / SDL .
Why? : It was the first computer i own.
Who? : Rtype

This is just an old Caprice32 version (4.1.0) for ps3 with psl1ghtV2 sdk .
Have no many freetime to work on it , so don't expect to much .

You will find binary in release.zip & source code (for thoose who want to look at ) in capold-4.1.0.zip.
be sure to read READMEPS3.TXT before install .

Dynarec: PSX iso’s finally working on the JFW DH 3.56 MA

Hello all,
DemonHade’s team present it’s new system called Dynarec !
A multi-plateform emulator on the JFW DH 3.56 MA, allowing many functions, especially PSX iso emulation without need to the “Cobra” dongle, here is a professionally translated quote of the source article, thanks to hellsing9.

Hello friends, today i present you Dynarec a powerful tool for devs exclusive for ours JFW.
Dynarec is a port of MA the old and powerful patch system in LV2 done by Aerialx (Creator of PS1LIGHT) in 2010, since so many people ignore the fact that not all the old info is useless.
Kammy in 3.41 patched lv2 to execute a recomp dynamic code (knowed by many devs as Dynarecs).
In 3.41 even was contemplated the creation of a dreamcast emulator but this was stepback hence this type of things limited so many devs, but in the case of Kammy we had the possibilty to debug and easy recieve Printfs by net with socat. Having a plus of executing too JIT code.
This video shows how MA356 supports the new and renewed system of Dynarec. (Kammy in 3.41) i gave my thanks to Aerialx for this and regarding other devs you can see with your own eyes (robo hobo and others) you know that when you null the NX protection BIT in LV2 was a great advance never done in superiors FW to 3.50 and now it’s possible in MA.
That’s why the devs left aside develpoments when users passed to 3.5x.
In MA we get again this system giving us more power and possibilities to port more powerful emulators like = N64,dreamcast,NDS, etc.
As you can see in Emulator configuration we left the option *INTERPRETER* off in order to use Dynarec. As you may remember in 3.55 only you can run it but slow with interpreter mode on and bios hle bios emulated. Now any bios can be used with Dynamic recompiler.
I have to say that this new system will have Thegrid as a dynamic patch. Because of this you don’t have to execute anything. Only the Emu.
TheGrid will come with SP1.3 integrated (soon to be published).
Now some other news, i have to anounce that me (Blackdeath)
I am making progress with a job regarding PS3SX which i updated using the source of Anonymous when he published in 2011 fixing some new bugs and optimizing Dynarec.
If i have time enough i will improve it as N64, the only thing left to say to all the devs that we do what we like most that you are invited if you want to join contributing with this development platform that is 3.56MA.
As you know in PS3SX some shaders and filter are missing and for the moment we are at full speed using PE OPS (software) if we had the hardware plugin to obtain better quality like HD mode in 360 will be awesome to have that with the help of other devs that will like to help me to port this to PS3.
A pleasure, Blackdeath.

PS3 Game List v1.9.2 Manager for Windows, Linux and Mac

PlayStation 3 developer wborland0 has now made available PS3 Game List v1.9.2 Manager for Windows, Linux and Mac users.

Download: PS3 Game List v1.9.2 Manager for Windows / PS3 Game List v1.9.2 Manager for Linux / PS3 Game List v1.9.2 Manager for Mac

To quote: Another revision bringing PS3 Game List to v1.9.2. Despite the minor release digit, this version implements an interesting feature (which almost stands as a project of its own): ISO 9660 file system support.

Users who have the various dongles that provide ISO image functionality can now use the app to manage their game library, check the change log for additional info. I am considering adding UDF support as well, if there is demand for it.

Since multiupload has been down for a while, I’ve been looking for alternatives. I intend to host the files at psx-scene.com, the project seems to fit their developer initiative well. I will get in touch with them and arrange something out. Meanwhile, the download is available at the provided link, it will do for now.

PS3 Game List change-log and features:

v1.9.2

• ISO 9660 file system image support (currently read-only, data stored as an ISO image will not be editable; an icon will overlay both avatar and background image in order to differentiate the entry from standard game folders, and the tooltip will display additional info about the volume; note that ISO images do not follow the ‘folder depth’ configuration, just have them stored at the root of a directory and they will be loaded as a regular game folder);
• Linux version now allows game directory browsing;
• Fixed issue causing eventual background image distortion.

The Linux port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.2, is available for download. It implements most of the Windows version features (minus the platform specific functionality). The OpenSSL package is required (download the correspondent version for your release), and so is the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

The OSX port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.2, is here, featuring the same app updates (minus the platform specific functionality). Mac OS X 10.5 or up is required, so is OpenSSL (OSX ships with a slightly outdated version, but it should work; feel free to update to the latest release, though) and the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

Haven’t tested it on Lion, let me know of any eventual misbehavior.

As usual, feel free to suggest something new, and, if you happen to find any bugs, please report them as well.
