Name:PSPVBA
Author:zx-81
Version:v1.2.3
Firmware:1.5 and 1.0(1.0 eboot converted by me, but un tested)
Source: zx-81
Download: Here

Description:
Its as easy as 1,2,3!
Yup, thats right, yet another big update.
zx-81 has released his new PSPVBA emulator at version 1.2.3 (that should be easy to count if you are a toddler :lol:)
Here's what he had to say: "Who said i give up? I never give up when i got ideas to make things going better. Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP, which is a bit faster (up to 6% on v-rally 3) compared to v1.2.2 !"

Heres the new specs for the latest release:
* Rewrite critical parts of graphic emulation source code
* Rewrite critical parts of the ARM emulator to make it going faster
* Review memory cache strategy
* Bug fix and code cleaning
zx-81 keeps it on coming! With the new update up to 6% faster for some games, we could have tons more updates with how fast the FPS is going. Its been testing and is working fairly well, could be better, but still its amazing of how much progress he has put in.

It suports 1.5 and converted by me, it now supports 1.0! The 1.0 eboot I made is untested. Also included is source files.
Please be aware of one bug which if you are using custom firmware there is a chance that you won't be able to get back to the dashboard using the home button. Its been for mainly custom firmware users but some have occurred with non custom firmware users.

Just installed it.. works great! The speed if great at default! Haven't played with the critical settings accept changing to a wider screen and no sound.. but other than that it plays much much better!

I used to use: PSP GBA v1.1.. but now very happy with PSPVBA v1.2.3

By the way, the bug while exiting using HOME applies to even an untouched 1.5 firmware. I used it before custom firmwares and it would have trouble exiting anyway. Just use the option it gives you to exit the game, it shouldn't give you any problems. The HOME option would sometimes activate the exit function, but most of the time it just crashed. But anyway nice job Mailas or "D_Lord" :) .

Using the HOME button on pspvba wont work for anyone right now. So just restart it or take out the battery to get back.

EDIT:
I tested the 1.0 eboot on my custom firmware (i forgot it could run 1.0 eboots lol) and it worked fine!

Or your PSP should hard reboot if you hold the power button for a while. It saves the trouble of taking out a battery.

Yea, taking out the battery is kinda hard at first, I have only taken it out like 3 times and Ive had my psp ever since pspbrew started. Lol, I thuoght I would break that thing that said "Push" because I pulled on it haha.

Actually you just need to get back to the VBA EMU control and exit there using the exit link. Hope everyone knows what I mean.

You can't sorry, well actually you could toggle with the FPS but thats about it.
Just wait for a newer one, newer versions will most likely be more faster.
