have recived an email from Mark Grilenkov about the status of his emulator. Here is the good news in his exact words:
"The good news are that i achieved an average frame rate of 10 fps with the SoftGPU and
a peak frame rate of 30 fps. The bad news (at least for the people waiting for pcsxdc)
are that i still need more time for a new release. I.e. i could release a pre-release
in a short time (one week), but people will be disappointed that they get the same
problems only 5-10 fps faster

. The longer you have to wait, the bigger the surprise

."
Here is what hes working on:
"I'm concentrating at the moment on two things:
1. a new recompiler (yes, it's my third try on this subject

) I will use an
intermediate code this time. This is much better for register allocation, inter-block
jumps and optimization, but also much more complex.
2. a simple menu system.
3. hardware accelerated plugin (every game i test shows some other errors

, this is
kind of annoying)"
I would like to thank Mark for emailing me this news.
