Emulator: PSP-UAE 0.55
PSP-UAE is a port of the well known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console PSP. New in version 0.55:
- Added some more Joystick mapping options. You can now use any button to control Amiga joystick 0
- Changed all sceCtrlReadBufferPositive to sceCtrlPeekBufferPositive. This should speed things up a little, because sceCtrlReadBufferPositive always waits for vsync
- Fixed a "bug" that caused the PSP to crash if you tried to exit using the home button
- Added Bilinear filtering when zoom is turned on
