FPSEce - Sleepin Beauty
Heya

I just want to bring you news about the still "Work In Progress" (not-public) beta of the PlayStation Emulator FPSEce. Since many think the emu died, some news are needed as I see it

New features:

- 2700g Support (can doulbe the framerate)
- GDI and GAPI drivers as well as
- VGA Support (in portrait for now, landscape needs too much power but they work to solve this.)
- Many bugfixes and additions such as .NRG Image support.

Here are some Screenshots:

Compared FPS from old version to new version with 2700g:
Image

Compared QVGA to VGA (please view full image, IE will make it fit to your explorer)
Image

Thing is, text is so sharpe, you can read it better in Portrait (VGA) then in Landscape (QVGA)

How could I hate someone like me
We beta-testers are very split, the developers make us so happy and so mad at the same time ^^
Since they feed us with the features still stuffed into the old core instead of the new one cause of some logistical things... well and the fight for the second PDA baught by the community but got lost during (or "before") shipping still continues...

I've had my copy of Diablo ripped and ready to go for months. Been (impatiently) waiting for the x51v version of FPSEce to run it.

What I did not mention cause I can not test it myself is that the emu should now run comparable fast on both, wm2003se and wm5.0 devices (at least that's what another beta-tester said). Still, I can say nothing on when a release might be cause of the amount of still open questions/possiblities.

Please read more carefully:
"Work In Progress" (not-public) beta
The first screenshot shows the FPS boost/contrast from 0.095 to this beta by playing the exact same video (C&C Tiberian Dawn Intro) with both.

Nice info Michu, this realy gives hope that the next release is still in 2006

Why dont they release the 0.09.6 version?
I know it could be buggier then the 0.09.5 version but heck it would make the waiting till the 0.10er less longer
(arent the older version also betas?)

Btw how did you became a betatester for their team and what qualifications do you need to become one?

Well, the plan was to have 0.10 as the next release and up to now this is still priority numbero uno.
Since work on 0.10 is more advanced then work on 0.09.6 and the new core is a lot better, releasing a worse version would be under the developers niveau (and could also give a wrong picture of FPSEce since there will be no main support) and no, the older ones are no "betas" but final ports of the original FPSE versions. Thing is that FPSE advances with FPSEce and the other way around since LDChen works parallel on both.

But thanks to the newest updates, 0.09.6 is not buggier then 0.09.5 however, it lacks important features like a possiblity to disable 2700g support as the whole version is not planned as public release but as a way to test features seperated from the new core.

Well you can see my qualifications in my signature (Admin / Special Member and I was beta-tester before, so this gives a bit more trust) and I'm a hard working member for over one year now (in fact FPSEce was the first forum I every joined when I bought my first PDA cause I searched for a way to play C&C) with a lotta promo-work, posts and threads to help the community (I have two sticky threads, as many as the main developer :P and more then any member) as well as I worked hard to feature a great amount of PSX freeware for everyone. I don't want to praise myself here I just wanna show that it was hard work to become a tester and since only the two main developers decide about those special ranks, I would have had no chance if there wouldn't have been two high-rank members (thank you again at this place) who have suggested me since they in fact already have a huge amount of beta-testers.

So long blabla, I'm happy to be allowed to bring you those news (since I was the only one who asked and whom was granted to post those screenshots, so be happy that I made it, otherwise you wouldn't even know ).


So to give this post a bit more sense then just talking about myself, there are plans to have an own GPU Plugin especially for WindowsMobile 5.0 that uses the new DirectX Mobile. It can be slower but as I was told, looks way better and has far less graphical bugs then the Plugin currently in use. Just to keep you up to date.
