PlayStation Portable homebrew developer Akop Karapetyan, better known as uberjack, has released an emulator port called Caprice32. It’s an Amstrad CPC emulator that was created for POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes) and Windows. The dev ported version 4.2.0.0 for the PSP for some retro gaming fun.

Apparently, the dev attempted to port Arnold, another Amstrad CPC emulator but was put off by “its poor performance on the PSP (15 fps).” Uberjack notes:

Caprice32 is a lot faster, though the rendering subsystem used in the current version is from version 4.1.0, for performance reasons. If/when the renderer is optimized, the PSP port will be updated to reflect the change.

Anyway, this initial release for the Caprice32 PSP is currently missing ZIP file support, though uberjack said that it will be implemented if people express interest in the said project. Check out the download below to try it out. Also, go through the readme for important information like installation and controls.
