Re: PSX off external hard drive
I have 3 questions: * Does the BIOS "boot.rom" need to be in the CIFS mounted folder as well ? * Do you mount it inside a "games" folder eg: /media/cifs/games/PSX or /media/cifs/PSX ? * How do people do this for usb eg: /media/usbX/games/PSX or /media/usbX/PSX ? I use CIFS for the entire games directory. So that would include t...

Re: PSX off external hard drive
Semi-unrelated but I don't put any roms on the SD or an externally connected drive. All roms are mounted via the CIFS script. It works great even for large PSX bin/cue.

Based on what we can see in the nightly builds now, single RAM for PSX is a shoe in, and the second stick will likely just be for some performance improvement. Saturn core is still far enough out that I w...

Re: Hybrid AO486 core?
Folks seem to really obsess over the lack of FPU in AO486 but there are almost no games in the 486 era that make use of an FPU. The FPU didn't really get used in gaming until Pentium era games and they wouldn't run well on AO486. It didn't make sense for game developers to target the FPU until they became ubiquitous with the Pentium. The 486 FPU is...
