Homebrew developer Zx-81 returns with an update to PSPBEEB, a BBC Micro emulator for the PSP. The BBC Micro, otherwise known as the Beeb, was an 8-bit computer designed by Acorn Computers back in the 1980s.

Notable changes in version 1.1.0 include IR keyboard support, speed improvements, and full compatibility with PSP Slim units as well as 3.X kernel based firmware.

What’s new in version 1.1.0:

– Speed improvements (but still slow < 40 fps)
– IR keyboard support !
– Now compatible with custom firmwares 3.x and PSP-slim
– Display and save thumbnail images for each save state
– Add option to display fps rate
– Add a simple intro splash screen
– Analog pad can now be used in the file requester
to move faster through the disk/state lists
– Option to prevent the blue led to be displayed when
L or R are pressed
– All render modes use GU (smooth mode)
– Support iso8859-1 fonts in print text functions
(might be useful to translate menus in German, french …)
– Major bug fix in video emulation functions (PSP freeze …)
– Other bug fix and code cleaning
