Yup. It's PSX files. Not sure what it does, but hey, it's there. Maby someday (Valve time) we can play PSX games on Bizhawk. http://code.google.com/p/bizhawk/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FPsxHawk.Core Now, don't all excited. It's probably not even close to being done. But, it's there.

It's nothing important, PSX is planned, but hasn't been started yet and probably won't be any time soon.

If it'll take less than a year, I could put off Supersponge so I don't have to use PSXjin. Would it be that short of a wait?

Honestly, it mostly depends on how fast the mednafen PSX core gets built to be compatible with games, currently FF7 doesn't work in it.

Is Mednafen's core the most accurate? And does FF7 use a special chip that the emulator is not compatible with?

No idea and no, although it seems to have more compatibility and accuracy than PSXjin and epsxe, I think only pSX trumps it but that is closed source. Apparently mednafen has timing issues that's causing it to not run some games properly, it's the battle scenes that are mostly messed up for FF7. I Played legend of legaia for about 20 hours on mednafen and compared to my real psx, it's running it a bit faster than a real psx.

Oh, my bad. We're talking about CDs here; there wouldn't be a special chip. Could the timing issues be caused by less lag during battle scenes, or something with the RNG causing the game to lag? Just throwing ideas around. Well, if it's more accurate and compatible then PSXjin, then I hope to see it have its issues fixed and be ready for TASing in a few months or so.

I'll be waiting for updates on this as well from the developers. Not that PSXJin doesn't do the job in most cases; but I mean.. the more accurate emulation is, the better. Valve time, ehh? :( *tsk tsk* (BizHawkPSX sounds pretty nice for a name). Though even though I mainly TAS psx games (which is usually just a hobby.. nothing meant for publication or even for someone else to view in most cases) -- I would say that what needs the most up-to-date emulation, would be the nintendo 64 (Mupen just sucks) .. And to me that should be a priority over the psx version (and I'd be willing to wait if n64 was picked up first :D)
