version is ARM architecture oriented and features MIPS->ARM recompiler by
Ari64, NEON GTE code and more performance improvements. It was created for
Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other devices after some code
-adjustments (N900 version is also available).
+adjustments (N900, GPH Wiz/Caanoo versions are also available).
-PCSX ReARMed features GPU plugin from PCSX4ALL project.
+PCSX ReARMed features ARM NEON GPU by Exophase, that in many cases produces
+pixel perfect graphics at very high performance. There is also Una-i's GPU
+plugin from PCSX4ALL project, and traditional P.E.Op.S. one.
Usage
- .bz/.bz.table
- .ZNX/.ZNX.table (partial)
- EBOOT.PBP (PSP, partial)
+- .cbn
CDDA (CD audio) only supported when .cue/.toc/.ccd/.mds files are present.
There is support for redump.org .sbi files, which can be used instead of
[sd card]/pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/
then select the BIOS you want to use in Options->BIOS/Plugins menu.
-Analog controllers are supported using nubs, but this is disabled by
-default and needs to be enabled in 'Controls' menu.
+On pandora, analog controllers are supported using nubs, but this is
+disabled by default and needs to be enabled in 'Controls' menu.
There is also touchscreen based GunCon support, which also requires
appropriate controller selected in controls configuration.
GPU (graphics) and SPU (sound) plugins can be selected in
[BIOS/Plugins] menu:
-builtin_gpu - the P.E.Op.S. GPU plugin, most accurate but slow.
-gpuPCSX4ALL.so - plugin from PCSX4ALL project. Faster but has some glitches.
+builtin_gpu - this is either Exophase's ARM NEON GPU (accurate and fast,
+ available if platform supports NEON), else it's P.E.Op.S.
+ soft GPU (accurate but slow).
+gpuPCSX4ALL.so - plugin from PCSX4ALL project. Faster than P.E.Op.S.
+ but has some glitches.
gpuGLES.so - experimental port of P.E.Op.S. MesaGL plugin to OpenGL ES.
Occasionally faster but has lots of glitches and seems to
be rather unstable (may crash the system).
-builtin_spu - P.E.Op.S. SPU plugin.
+gpuPEOPS.so - P.E.Op.S. soft GPU (in case builtin one is NEON)
+builtin_spu - P.E.Op.S. SPU plugin, optimized for ARM.
spunull.so - NULL plugin, i.e. no sound emulation.
