Default Donationware Pocket PC Sony Playstation Emulator Released

http://fpsearm.psxfanatics.com/

"Ludovic Olivencia and LDchen are proud to present FpseCE 0.09.1 the only Playstation 1 emulator running on PocketPC using Dynamic Recompilation. What's news since 0.09:

� Improved the compilation of some MIPS opcodes. This should give you a little more speed. (LDChen)
� Fixed a bug in shifting opcodes. Now several games (WipeOut 3, FIFA soccer games and others) are fully playable. (LDChen).
� Completely rewritten the blitting routines for displaying graphics. Stretching, landscape left/right and portrait modes are implemented. (LDChen)
� Improved movies playback speed. A new, faster IDCT routine optimized for ARM is used and some optimizations had been added to YUV to RGB conversions. (LDChen).
� ...and many more"

I'm not really into emulators, but I know they're quite popular on the Pocket PC, so if you have some old classic PS1 games you're itching to re-live on your Pocket PC, check this out. If you like the software, toss 'em a couple of bucks - I'd like to see the development of this emulator continue. :way to go:

Figures, the day that I send my iPAQ off for repairs. :|

But I'm sure my roommate will be willing to find this and give us a review of it sometime soon with his.

Only users of A620s need apply, it's the most playable device, besides the controls, many games are actually completly playable!

Do you need like a HUGE CF/SD to store a normal game? Can they be ripped on a PC with no extra hardware?

PSX games are normal CDs, you can rip them, and then use PocketISO to strip out movies, etc. I have the original GTA as a 12MB file, compressed.

I used the compression tool to get my copy of Ridge Racer onto my CF card. The emulator is slow, but promising on my 221x device. The controls are 'ok' but not great. Note: You must have a PS1 ROM image and getting a ROM from anywhere but off your own device may be considered illegal.

Your own legally bought PS1 game CDs, then using tools such as PocketISO to rip them into a decent size that can fit into PocketPC (or Pocket PC? or PPC? bah).
