Thanks, great work!!!
PS.: Very curious about speed...

Nice to see Gran Turismo working now. I'll try some games when I get home. Can anyone can confirm any of the NFS or pre FIFA 2000 games work? All I got were black screens and a buffer underflow error error like Kale does with Vib Ribbon, probably hasn't changed I suspect really.

Speed is fine. I noticed some very small amounts of slowdown on Gran Turismo in attract mode when the camera was up close to a car for a moment, but other than that the driver is really fast, and you won't have any speed problems if you've got a decent processor (high end AMD / mid-range Intel).

Great!!!
It's awesome to see Playstation having development!

Need For Speed: High Stakes starts with the loading screen, and stays there

Same With Gran Turismo 2 (arcade Disk).

But GT disc works:



But suffers from bad audio, some songs play too fast others too slow

And Crash Bandicoot - Warped works:


But some of the boxes has graphix problems as can seen in the above screenshot


Duke Nukem: A Time to kill
The Intro FVM is jumping all over the screen. But once you get to the title screen it becomes playable


To Be continued

Vagrant Story
Some graphics problems at title screen


but fine after that
