Regarding the new PSXHawk, I noticed two minor things: 1) Config > Path configuration doens't have the PSX options. 2) The PSX page says: Unreleased, not approved for TASVideos submissions Ported from mednafen to Bizhawk by zeromus last edited by zeromus on 2015-07-15 00:02:34 So, is it approved or not? Edit: by the way, what is the official name of this core, PSXHawk or Octoshock?

Oops, we will need to fix that

It is approved, the wiki hasn't been updated yet.

imo, it is PSXHawk
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

While we're on the subject... With bizhawk, it's useful to reference the implementation of an emulator core in bizhawk, independently of the core itself, because we've usually essentially forked it. Now, I called the PSX work `octoshock` because it's an important enough core that it needs its own name and writing mednafen/psx was annoying. I can envision a future where it takes on a life of its own outside mednafen, so I gave it a ready-made name. I consider the work I did to fork it essential enough that it isn't a -hawk fork, it's its own thing. So what do we call it in bizhawk? I dunno, whatever adelikat says. PSXHawk is fine. "PSXHawk is bizhawk's octoshock (the name of mednafen's PSX core, because it needed a name)" is how I would put it.

In a devbuild, you had to manually flush SRAM (or Memory Card) data for PSX games. Has that been addressed?

At this point, we can no longer say it's happening. IT'S HAPPENED.

It's supposed to be happening when the emulator shuts down or the core/rom gets closed. Like every other core. This hasn't been addressed or changed whatsoever since december. The only thing that makes it different from any other core in bizhawk is that loading a state won't clobber the .saveRAM stored on disk unless the game actually edits the contents.

EXCELLENT work, guys! Been looking forward to seeing PSXHawk released. Btw, is there a donation page set up for emulator development? I'd like to donate an amount in that direction.

Ryphecha made this emulator core. I just pooped on it a bit and jammed it inside our box.

2 questions 1. Does PSX now support disc swapping for movies? 2. Can anyone mirror latest BizHawk somewhere? SourceForge is giving mirror errors.

1. yes. i dont know if anyone's tested it yet. I suggest you try a short movie with vib-ribbon or such to make sure it works until someone can tell you authoritatively. 2. google is your friend http://en.osdn.jp/projects/sfnet_bizhawk/downloads/BizHawk/BizHawk-1.11.0.zip/

There's also something weird with MGS Intergral and Dual Analog virtual analog pads. When using an Xbox 360 gamepad, the analog sticks are all aligned in the right direction, but using the TAS tools for analog control, the sticks are not aligned and everything is topsy-turvy (e.g. moving Up on the stick makes Snake move right).
