zx81’s PSPColem homebrew is a Colecovision Emulator for Sony‘s PlayStation Portable, and today he brings us the newest (and possibly final?) version of it, v1.2.0.
As many of you are undoubtedly new in the brew community, here’s a description on this app. ColEm is actually originally written by Marat Fayzullin and is considered to be one of the best emulator of the ColecoVision videogame system around.
It runs on FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, and other Unix systems. Now, this particular homebrew is designed as a port specifically for the PSP Colem (Unix version 1.0).
Now that a brief description is out of the way, let’s get down to business. Here’s what’s new in this emulator.
- Cheat support !
- Memory monitoring engine to find your own cheat code !
- Zip rom files are now decompressed in memory (much faster !)
- New render modes and vertical shift feature
- Improve file requester with virtual keyboard to choose
- sequentially rom files beginning with a given letter
- Add documentation for settings in help menu
- A thumbnail image is now displayed in the file requester
- while selecting any file with the same name of a previously
- saved game (roms, keyboard, settings).
- It might be very helpful to recognize that game later if you
- have thousand different games in your rom folder !
- The virtual keyboard is now usable in the file requester menu to
- choose the first letter of the game you search !
- In the emulator menu you can go directly to keyboard and settings
- menu using the L-Trigger key.
- Fix IR keyboard issue with fw >= 3.80 for FAT PSP
- New default keyboard mapping
