Palm Pre Playstation Emulator (psx4pre)

Posted by Al in July 1st 2009

Palm Pre Playstation Emulator (psx4pre) is giving a new reason to keep up your Palm Pre. ZodTTD, purveyor of iPhone emulators galore, says that Pre’s hardware runs the emulator way better than the iPhone 3GS.

Here is a few experience that quoted from ZodTTD:

* There is no sound output (but it’s emulated), as Pulse Audio is required for the Palm Pre, and I have yet to support it. It will come soon.

* I have not figured out hardware rotation or scaling, or whether it is possible. Until then I am using the raw framebuffer device and blitting 320×240 software scaled.

* I figured out how to read the keypad device on the Palm Pre, though there are times it fails to give a keyup event, making keys “stick”. This is annoying and I’m looking for a workaround.

* As things progress I will have fullscreen landscape working as well.
