The great Exophase popped into our forums recently to tell us that he had released version 0.9 of his GBA emulator, gpSP. This has been called by many appreciative people as the best GBA emulator for the PSP because of its great compatibility and consistent performance.
In his post, the dev said that he isn't "terribly impressed with the unofficial builds of gpSP that exist without my consent." You could read his complete and exact statements on the forum release thread or on the readme file that comes with the download. He mentioned that in spite of all the challenges brought about by some unappreciative people, he still plans on working on the gpSP for the benefit of the homebrew community.
He also mentioned that he intended to release the emulator by midnight, but they encountered some problems during beta testing, and of course he needed to fix them. Anyhow, this version is still in its beta phase. He says that version 1.0 won't be a beta...that is if he releases a version 1.0. Here's an excerpt of the lenghty changelog for version gpSP v0.9. Be sure to check out Exophase's insights on the forum thread; and the complete changelog on the readme file.
