PSP Yabasic Player V1.0a

A very interesting release comes from Jim Shaw today, one that could open some very interesting possibilities for programming for the PSP not to mention a whole host of new homebrew games. Yabasic Player plays… yup, you guessed it – Yabasic files. What is Yabasic you might ask? It’s a programming language that stands for “Yet Another Basic,” referring to the programming language “basic”. Here is what Jim has to say about his release of this wonderful emulator:

Here’s a port I have made of ps2yabasic to the PSP. It lets you play (but not edit) all your yabasic saves on the PSP.

I’ve included eboots for both 1.5 and 1.0 BIOS versions – put the correct folder(s) in the PSP/GAME folder on the memory stick.
Put the yabasic folder in the PSP folder on the memory stick.

What’s working?
Pretty much everything except below!

What isn’t working?
It runs about 80% of the speed of the PSP.
The console output window doesn’t work.
No text input is working.
Slight memory leaks.
The beep doesn’t work.

Things to note:
It slaps the PSP into 333MHz mode while the interpreter is running, and back into 222MHz mode at exit.

Press both shoulder buttons together to exit the interpreter.

A few games are included in the release, but there is already a large library of Yabasic games and applications available to use on this Yabasic emulator, so be sure to check out Jim’s “Yabasic Source Code Resource Page” to download stuff to play on this new program!
