JPCSP video

It's funny how you assume that anyone that tries to defend JPCSP is a Java fanboy. Java is not my cup of tea at all for a programming choice but people from many sites such as EmuCR and random EmuNewz users give JPCSP a lot of flack for no reason. Here is a post from Hykem from another thread:

Ok, wait a second here. Cursed?
I'm really not understanding all this JPCSP vs. PPSSPP thing anymore.
Those regressions on SAVEDATA were caused by new findings on a real PSP, but not all games work in the same way. It's not easy to implement new discoveries without report logs and tests. I've only managed to properly implement this after several logs were posted reporting the new error.

Now something a bit off-topic, but necessary to post.
JPCSP was created to prove that you could make a decent emulator for a recent gaming platform using Java. It's original goal was to be a debugging utility for developers, not a full emulator to run games.
There's no point on comparing the two emulators because an emulator coded in C/C++ WILL always be faster than JPCSP. We keep working on this project mostly for investigational purposes.
In a near future it's pretty obvious that PPSSPP will be the emulator of choice for the regular user, but it somewhat saddens me that people will pretty much drop JPCSP and forget all the work that was done to reverse engineer the PSP. Honestly, gid alone managed to find, test and implement features that were pretty much undocumented before.

JPCSP is now the most accurate documentation of the PSP system and if you check PPSSPP's commits you will see a lot of code based on it.
Don't get me wrong, PPSSPP has great coders behind it (Henrik, [UNKNOWN], tpunix, just to state a few), but it's also open-source.
A lot of the fast progress of PPSSPP is due to JPCSP's findings (e.g.: In https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/blob/...Font/PGF.h the comment clearly states that it was ported from JPCSP's PGF, which was reversed by gid).

Since both projects are open-source there's nothing wrong in having both projects exchanging code, but it's not really fair to have people comparing them. At least not in this way.

JPCSP is kind of like the San Antonio Spurs while PPSSPP are like the Miami Heat. On November 1, 2012 when PPSSPP first started, people were acting like it's The Decision and only wanted this program to succeed. In a perfect world, both development teams would want users to use both JPCSP and PPSSPP. Any emulation user should want any project to succeed no matter what choice the desired programming language may be. It's too bad that there are so many cynical people around the world who enjoy bashing what is not the common standard.

PPSSPP is not too good with Integrated Graphics Card like Intel or with archaic cards that have OpenGL below a certain version. Most of the time PPSSPP will crash on startup because of it.

I apologize for this off-topic post but I felt this needed to be addressed. Hopefully this can finally get back on topic.
