PSX Video output and community (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

I can finally say that the last major module on my schedule has been completed: the video output module has been totally redone.

It now works with the correct clock frequency for both NTSC and PAL and can output proper analog signals for a CRT.

In this process other improvements have been implemented: screen shake is now working and cropping of resolutions is also working. Furthermore we now have correct aspect ratios for the different resolutions, even when cropped.

This would not have been possible without the massive help of the community. Kitrinx made a large part of these features and tested the CRT timing and we had been numerous testers in the Discord channel comparing CRT output against original hardware.

Furthermode many additions have been made by other members of the community, e.g. for different Inputs(mouse, NegCon, GunCon), Cheats, ressource reduction, CHD support and OSD improvements.

I really have to thank everyone for putting so much love into this core.

As for the project, we are heading to the biggest milestone: the first official release. There are still some major bugs that need to be resolved and until then I will keep you updated.

Still, even with an official release, this project will not end so fast, as there are thousands of games and hundreds of secrets of the original hardware to be found out.  But this part of the journey can be more fun, with so many games already playable.

Have fun!
