PsfPlayer 0.48 Released
Posted on 2010-08-27 14:54:11
I've put the next version of PsfPlayer online 2 days ago. The major change of this version is that it's now using the new JIT compiler library I've been working on during the past few months. I hoped that it would make the player a bit faster, but it doesn't seem to give a big speed improvement, if any... But this new library allows me to target different CPU architectures more efficiently and I can now release a 64-bits version, which is also available for download.

This release of PsfPlayer means that the JIT compiler library is stable enough to be used in the PS2 emulator itself. I still need to add support for SIMD primitives, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm also working on targeting the ARM architecture to make PsfPlayer work on iPhone, but I'm not sure it will be fast enough to play songs. But it's still fun to learn about the ARM architecture and I'm sure it could come in handy someday. Well, I hope I can show you some of that soon.
