PSX4All running on Symbian

I’m currently porting gpSP to the Symbian. Psx4all uses pretty much same SDL stuff and same ARM assembly emitter as gpSP. I just took my porting tricks from gpSP and compiled them with psx4all and here is the result. It’s really not fully optimized yet, but you’ll get the idea that it’s not going to run on N95 smoothly :) I still have some other tricks that would speed it up, but not enough.

It’s just a proof of concept that this emu could be ported to Symbian with moderate effort, but it’s going to require a lot faster CPU. I might take a second look of this after I’ll get the gpSP port finished.

See the performance by yourself.

    Great summeli! I’m waiting your final research ^_^

    I have a project too. I made N-Gage Portable, emulator for running old n-gage games on symbian 2nd platform with perfectly. You can see my post on http://dwi-maihut.blogspot.com/2010/03/ngage-neo-n-gage-portable.html.

    So far 34 old n-gage games are playable on symbian 2nd with my N-Gage Portable. One reason why I did not yet sharing this app because I want giving a security code like DRM to protecting my app from hacking. I do not want my hard work stealed.. Do you know a simple way how to made security like that?

    • Summeli says:

      There’s really no simple solution for preventin your app to not being hacked. Anyone can get the binary from you app with IDA Pro, and then just add couple of NOPs instead of validity check. I gues that’s the usual story in the PC world too.

      I’m giving all my hobby projects away for free, so I don’t have this problem :)

      You have created the emulator N-GAGE for Symbian S60v3? I correctly have understood? Him is possible download? As I am like games with the N-GAGE and I with huge pleasure would play in them on Nokia 6290(9.2)

  3. Dwi says:

    I think you right, if we shared them for free and doing that just as our hobby, it doesn’t matter share without security code. But I really want to giving a security code for my app to preventing from being hacked (although it is not a serious problem for a master hacker)

    Will be enough power of N8 to run Psx4all with pretty well speed?

    • Summeli says:

      With that HW and with new S^3 graphics architecture I would expect it to be able run the psx4all with decent speed. Of course I can not promise anything before I actually have the phone.

    Who the hell are you to make demands like that? Grow up motherfucker!

  6. rico says:

    I am so sick of eight-year old mofos like yourself to make demands from someone who devote to a project like this for free. Who the hell you think you are? His boss? Try this try that. LOL. You need to grow up. Last time I remembered my cousin making demand (like “I’m gonna give you 10 seconds to help me with my homework”) he was like 8 years old. Yeah. I slapped him in the face, telling him He’s not in any position to make demands. Do us all a favor, slap yourself!

    medal of honor can runing on symbian 9.2 and something yet. psx4all can runing on 6120c

  11. A fan says:

    The psp has a CPU of around 300Mhz and it has no problem running a psx game. I think playing a psx game on a mobile phone (at a good speed) is actually possible.

  12. StephenP says:

    hi summeli
    i’m using antsnesQt and gpspQT; they work very well with QT. Why can’t you use the QT for the psx emulator?

  13. psymbianx says:
