Last time I looked, the PSX emulator was reall, really slow, even at 270 mhz. (Too bad the 2X doesn't have a 3D accellerator.)

How well does the Flash player for it work? If it doesn't work too well I'll have to convert Weebl + Bob videos with my laptop's composite output and desktop's video capture card. :( Effective, but tedious.

the psx emu is still slow but many games are playable w/o sound, and within the year probably we will have a 100% from scratch coded and dynarec-ed psx emulator by zodttd and others, very cool stuff, his ported GBA emulator is already quite fast and playable and its only like a 4th alpha release!

Really? The last GBA emulator I saw for the 2X was pretty slow. (Then again it's been a while since I looked it up...)

Wow they've made quite a bit of progress on PSX4GP2X. :shock:

yea, zodttd and his helpers and the other coders working with him on psx4gp2x and GP-SP (gba emu) are FREAKING CODING GODS! many gba games are already averaging better than 30fps FS1 OCed to 250 or 266mhz, and like i said there will be a scratch coded psx emu coming in the future that should be fairly playable and i dont doubt that with a few months more work GP-SP will be nearly perfect

gPSP will be full speed within two months tops. Not neccisarily bug free or feature complete. But full speed. The problem with Zodttd is that he keeps putting in features that make to work with and improve, which cause bottle necks and errors later on, before he's got the core of the emulator anywhere near complete. Vobbo did the opposite, and he made a full speed PCE emulator, admmitedly based on his old one written from scratch, but he rewrote it from scratch again, including much ASM, in less than a month. Hell, it was full speed in about 2 weeks.

However he vanished halfway through implementing sound. He still answers emails but never gets round to doing anything that he says, heh, reminds me of me far to much. The never getting round to anything, not the ability to write a full speed emulator from scratch for a new system in a month. That's all him :P
