Hi, sorry we have been abit quiet lately, but we have all been working hard on updating / improving. More so Thinkp and Ric.
The menu layout has been completely redone (took me awhile, thanks to thinkp for fixing my errors).
I have added full screen (thanks to Ric, ;), just need Ric to improve it as we discussed).
A lot of new features have been added.
Changes
PSPUAE 0.62 beta 8
- new option 'CPU to Chipset Ratio"
- new option 'Disable Key Combos"
- new option 'Toggle X+O"
- quick config combos
L+R+Up : zoom in
L+R+Down : zoom out
L+R+Right : more frameskip
L+R+Left : less frameskip
L+R+Triangle : toogle CPU speed (leds: light red = max, dark red = real, purple = chipset)
L+R+Square : toogle Floppy speed (leds: light green = turbo, dark green = normal)
L+R+Circle : toogle leds on screen
- dual mouse support
- fixed combos for L+Cross, R+Cross, ...
- SaveStates save a config file in the Config folder
- Savestates are now much smaller, due to memory compression being added
Below are shots of the fullscreen test in action.

Just to update you, thinkp has improved the fullscreen code, to now give selection between 4:3 and 16:9, you can also use the quick config keys to change options without going into menu,
1) L + R + Analogue Stick = Moves the screen position
2) L + R + Dir UP & DOWN = Changes zoom
3) L + R + Dir Left & Right = Changes Frameskip
To top it off, we have a an extra zoom to get rid of those ugly borders that some games produce, ;).

Nice FOL. ANd, where is the download? ;D :P :P

lol, soon, we want it to be prefect, ;).

Perfect`? Final?? ;D ;D Joke.
I am glad about it. Is he a little quicker then without FameCore?
-
Keep up the great work. Really appreaciate the hard work you guys are putting into this fine piece of homebrew.
(Fullscreen mode - woot!)

Had to read that a few times, take it your talking about Ric. Well thinkp is like lightening, we think up something, and bang, 5 mins later theres a new BETA, ;). Not that Ric aint quick, hope that doesnt come across all wrong, lol.
Just a little more news, Ric is going to try making an auto zoom feature, that will in theory, detect start and stop (screen size data, that the amiga gives out, to give turrican its lovely borders) data. So hopefully this option will workout and fill screen minus the borders.
-
That sounds ideal! ;D
-
Absolutely awesome!
thanx for this emulator and your work!
I love using your emulator on my psp, I think its a good reason to buy a psp!
dungeon master on the psp! amazing!
If I had to moan, the only things are the scratchy sound which sometimes makes games lag.
I have the Atari ST Castaway emulator for psp and it's really good to, the sound is much better and the fullscreen is spot on.
but we all know Amiga games are much better, so we need your emulator to kick the castaways butt! lol.
thanx again for your hard work - I certainly appreciate it fella's ;o)

Hi, thought would post this to keep you all updated on the progress of 0.62 Beta
Thinkp has been busy, ;D.
i uploaded the new beta.
What's new:
- you can now save the amiga mouse pointer position and restore it with a key-combo
- 24 mousestates slots, can be renamed with the amiga keyboard for better assignment
- new option 'Auto Mouse Speed' for setting the speed of the mouse while restoring
must be set faster for screens with higher resolution
- you can toggle the mousespeed with a key-combo
- cd32 buttons can now assigned to key-combos
- joy1 up/down/left/right can now assigned to key-combos
Here is an example of Mousestates on the game 'Lemmings'
Move the pointer over a screen button, in this case '+' - the symbol for speeding up the lemming rate.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms1.jpg)
Press L+R+Cross and the mousestates-menu appears.
Occupied slots are blue and empty slots are white.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms2.jpg)
Choose an empty slot and press X to save the pointer position.
Alternatively you can rename the slot with the square button, which will open the amiga keyboard.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms1jpg)
Delete letters with triangle (backspace) and enter the new name with the keyboard as usual.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms4.jpg)
Close the keyboard with square and the slot is now renamed to 'fast'.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms5.jpg)
Press X to save the pointer position, the mousestates-menu will be closed and you can save another position.
In the input configuration you can now assign a mousestate to a key-combo.
(http://www.djcresswell.com/amigaonline/psp/ms6.jpg)
When you press this key-combo, the mouse pointer will move to the previously saved position and the left mouse button will be pressed automatically.
If the mousespeed while restoring is slow, you can set it faster with the option 'Auto Mouse Speed'.

Another update,
Ric has just added his auto screen zoom feature, and it works very well on alot of games, but with some you will have to use normal zoom.
It works by looking at the Amiga code, and then adjust the size to fit screen, Turrican with no black borders, nice, ;D.

You cant, its only available to Beta Testers. I have been discussing reviewing our current Beta Testers, as they are not reporting back bugs etc etc.
We are not far off a release, there will be a release this month. It may be this week but I can not confirm as yet, until we are sure there are no bugs.
You can be sure, that the 3 people (myself, Horace and Emuchicken) are testing everything. Horace always finds the bugs (if there are any), he`s like a blood hound, ;).
