PSPEMU Rev301

[MaXiMu]

Hello guys soywiz is released oficial

New notices for by new release date 25-07-2011

About a year after the last release...
I have been working lately on the emulator again and I have redone lots of its internals. Now it's faster, reliabler and even can run some commercial games!

Changelog

Reduced changelog:
Some commercial games are running! Check our compatibility list, and feel free to add missing games.
New entirely remade multithreaded cpu core!! It will use a native thread per psp cpu thread. So it will get faster on newer cpus with multiple cores. Lots of games have several psp threads, one for the game, other for decoding audio... before this release cpu was executed on a single thread, now it will use one windows' thread per psp thread and executed parallely on multicore cpus withouth any penaly of switching psp threads because it won't switch anything.
Gpu morphing and skinning!
Synchronized components throgh mutex and events instead of polling. (Still not perfect). A better and faster design that eliminates some bottlenecks.
More homebrew compatibility!
Now using eclipse as IDE, using DDT to get autocompletion! Much more productivity.
Cleanups
More APIs implemented
hq2x and output scaling...
Cheats (enabled by command line)
Command line tools for advanced users. "pspemu.exe --help" to see a list of commands.
Lots and lots of work
Background music (Atrac3+ support) with SonicStage (and WaveOut Codec) installed.
And more...
Notes and expectations:
At this moment it has been a single person work.
Still uses a cpu interpreter. Even with multithreading, it will be slower than jpcsp and pcsp on most scenarios where the cpu usage is critical. It will get much faster when implementing the cpu dynarec and one of the fastests out there. I'll do that after getting some more compatibility and after some cleanups.
Still not using shaders. It uses plain OpenGL 1.1 so it has to rebuild every texture whenever clut changes. I will implement shaders later. Also I'm going to check if it's feasible to decode some things like vertex information or color information using OpenCL.
Do not expect getting videos, or getting complex games working at this stage.
