FPse is HERE!!

This emulator is FAST and ACCURATE! I bought psx4droid v2 just because I wanted to support zods effort but this blows it OUT OF THE WATER. It runs every game I've tried full speed ... some of which (like metal slug x) wouldn't even run on psx4droid. I have been very disappointed with psx4droid and there hasn't been any updates i'm what seems like forever.

Now for the downside... the on screen controls kind of suck. Multi touch doesn't seem to be working yet. Hopefully they can get that fixed asap. I'm going to try it with my wiimote and classic controler in the morning.

Also, my settings don't seem to stick once I close the program. What's up with that?

From what I understand, he just wanted to get it out there. He has been working on the sound for awhile, but the actual gameplay is SOLID. I mean, 1:1 really. With PSX4Droid, FFVIII cant even get to the world map, and most other games would slow to a crawl. This one doesnt, its great. The developer is a lot more involved as well.

Also, this utilizes a devices GPU, rather than place all the strain on the CPU. That's why you get such smooth playback.

Respectfully, I must disagree. I tried this out with FF7 last night on my Droid X, and while the smoother speed did resemble the original PSX4Droid, it was NOT 1:1. In fact, there was significant slowdown during battles. Don't get me wrong, I think that there is a lot of potential here. But I also think that it's a bit premature to say that this is a perfect (1:1) product.

Also, could you point me towards the info that states that this emu is GPU accelerated? I noticed several "accelerated" checkboxes in the options menu, but I'm not sure what they do.

What setting did you use for the video and the system to get it to work? I couldn't even see the screen on my Droid X.

I used stock settings and played some FF7 yesterday. i didnt see the slow down. How far did you have to into the game to see it? Also i have a Droid X.

Update: the wiimote works perfectly with this! But since the settings don't stick you're forced to re map every time you want to use it.

So ... I had it working at one point - now nothing. How do you have your Wiimote set up to work with FPse? I had tried Wiimote Controller and I can get it to connect, but the FPse won't read the key-presses when I try to assign HW keys.

What am I missing? :thinking:
