Homebrew developer Notaz has released an update to his PSP port of PicoDrive, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. In addition to various bug fixes and improvements, several new features have been added to version 1.40 of the emulator, including preliminarily support for Sega Virtua Processor titles.
The complete changelog is detailed below:
* Fixed sprite masking code. Thanks to Lordus for explaining how it works.
* Added “disable sprite limit” option.
* Added black level adjustment to display options.
* Changed reset to act as ‘soft’ reset.
* Added detection for Puggsy (it doesn’t really have sram).
* Some small timing adjustments.
* Added support for SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) to emulate Virtua Racing. No recompiler for PSP version though.
* Changed config file format, files are now human-readable. Game specific configs are now held in single file (but old game config files are still read when new one is missing).
* Fixed a bug where some key combos didn’t work as expected.
* Adjusted fast renderer to work with more games, including VR.
* Fixed a problem where SegaCD RAM cart data was getting lost on reset.
* PicoDrive now comes with a game config file for some games which need special settings, so they should now work out-of-the-box. More games will be added with later updates.
Homebrew developer Notaz has released a maintenance update to PicoDrive for PSP, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. Notable changes in this release include the ability to adjust gamma settings, improved suspend and resume handling, and CSO support for Sega CD games.
Here is another bugfix release from me (with a few new features):
* mp3 code should no longer fail on 1.5 firmware.
* added gamma adjustment option.
* added .cso ISO format support. Useful for non-FMV games.
* it is now possile to force a region after the ROM is loaded.
* fixed a sram bug in memhandlers (fixes Shining in the Darkness saves).
* fixed another bug in memhanlers, which crashed the emu for some games (like NBA Jam and NHL 9x).
* added suspend/resume handling for Sega CD games.
* some other small tweaks I forgot about.

PicoDrive for PSP v1.35b – Genesis/Sega CD Emulator for the PSP [DC Emu]
Homebrew developer Notaz released a minor update to PicoDrive for PSP, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. Changes in this release include various bug fixes, a 4:3 scaled screen size option, and an option to disable the frame limiter.
Well that test-a-bios-and-you-are-screwed bug was quite a serious one, so I’ve done an update:
fixed a bug which prevented to load any ROMs after testing the BIOS.
fixed incorrect CZ80 memory map setup, which caused Z80 crashes and graphics corruption in EU Mega CD model1 BIOS menus.
added additional “set to 4:3 scaled” display option for convenience.
added an option to disable frame limitter (works only with non-auto frameskip).

Homebrew developer Notaz today unleashed the initial release of PicoDrive for PSP, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. The author notes that most Genesis games are running full speed in this release. Certain Sega CD games will not run well but speed can be improved by enabling frameskip.
This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for PSP, but with Sega CD / Mega CD support. Although it has been originally written having ARM CPU based devices in mind, it has now been ported to PSP too, by replacing ARM specific parts with portable C code. The base code originates from Dave’s (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville’s Gens.
For detailed installation instructions and how to prepare your Sega CD games for use with the emulator, refer to the included readme file.
