DreamChip v3.0

Homebrew coder Zion has just made an announcement regarding the ongoing Chip-8 emulator project, DreamChip. This PlayStation Portable-based homebrew application has just been updated to version 3.0, and is now available for your downloading pleasure.

Chip-8, for those asking, is a programming language originally created by Joseph Weisbecker for the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800 8-bit microcomputers back in the 70s. This particular PSP version was coded from the PC emulator originally coded by TJA of the emutalk forums. Chip-8 carries ported classic games such as Pong, Space Invaders, Tetris, and Pac-Man. Getting back on topic, here are the changes from after version 2.0:

• The emulator now runs in full screen mode.
• Flickering reduced (only seems to affect Pong).
• Input working flawless (no more stickyness).
• Slight Speedup.
• More compatibility (games like Space Invaders now work)

Now, in case you guys were wondering what else is under works for version 4.0, Zion listed these:

• More compatibility (a few bugs are hampering a few games)
• Solve Flickering issue (flickering issue will be solved by the next release)
• File Browser (its been low on priority, but i will definitely include in next release)
• Speed (more speed )

Be sure to view the README to see how to upload this application to your PSP. DreamChip’s source code to the bundle, which is hoped to help other aspiring coders learn the basics of PSP emulating. Lastly, be warned that Zion does not permit unofficial builds of this application. With that said, we thank Zion for this release, and hope you guys enjoy your download.
