Blog

From time to time, I thought I'd make some blog entries here, on whatever takes my fancy. Hopefully someone will actually want to read them and find them informative/funny/useful!

Thu 13th October 2022, 23:35 - Update

Wow, been a while since I wrote anything on here! Lots has changed for me - starting work for Ohme as a Software Developer, becoming a Linux Kernel Maintainer, and finally an update to MasterEmu on the Play Store after 2½ years! Hopefully I can start to be more active on here again and finish some of my projects such as PhilPSX :-)

Sun 31st March 2019, 10:33 - GitHub and MasterEmu

I have finally open sourced MasterEmu and placed it on GitHub under the GPLv3! Big moment for me finally putting my work up for others to see. I hope people like what I've done and feel like contributing :-)

Wed 23rd January 2018, 00:04 - PhilPSX

Getting seriously into porting PhilPSX to C now, and also just read a book on digital signal processing to help me with the math for when I start implementing the sound chip. Exciting times ahead!

Sat 14th January 2017, 22:39 - Life so far

Well - compsci undergrad degree finished, and I've finally found time to update the website! Only two marks off a first, bit annoying but still really proud of myself for what I achieved. I got PhilPSX to boot and run commercial software, albeit at a reduced speed as I didn't get round to the dynamic recompiler. As I sank so much work into PhilPSX I'm going to carry on with it and finish it :-)

So, what's next for me? Well, to carry on working hard for my family I guess, and see what job and wider opportunities present themselves on the horizon. One thing I'd like to do this year is get involved in a prominent free software/open source project, such as FreeBSD (which I've had the chance to try out since I have more free time now). Also in this vein, I plan on making PhilPSX available under a free software licence on GitHub to encourage usage and participation.

Thought I'd put this here for when people actually view the site. Thankfully for me the PS1 is much easier to emulate. I did grow up on the Saturn though!
