How does this TempGBA4PSP mod compare with FrogGBA?

[Darthagnon]

FrogGBA is another fork of TempGBA that has been adding features within the past couple of years, and even seems to be pulling some commits from here. How does it compare to this? Which is the definitive GBA emulator I should be using on my PSP? I originally used GPSP Kai unofficial, which worked well for most games, but had compatibility problems with a couple (e.g. Batman). FrogGBA seemed to fix those compatibility problems. I have just discovered this emulator mod from the release post on GBATemp, and as FrogGBA hasn't been updated in a while and it sounds like this has some cool new UI features, I was wondering if this was better.

I believe FrogGBA uses vibe-coding (undisclosed, Readme and release notes are AI generated), TempGBA4PSP also uses vibe-coding (disclosed in release article, Readme looks pretty AI generated)

the thing is, for me this emulator is way more powerful than froggba. ive tried frog gba yes it can do a lot of things, but i try to run modern gba and it fails. like in geometry dash gba or heartwrench advance. whilst this emulator is able to emulate it smoothly. also recently theyve updated it and i just got mine working with the new set up of box arts and i tell you its way worth it than frog gba since at the very least when im picking games i could at least browse them with ease since i can get a feel for the games when looking at the box arts. mean its easy for me to get lost in a huge list but with box arts its way better. plus it has single game functionality aswell.

I guess the choice, of which emulator to use, depends on you and what games you play (some, I guess, can run better on one emulator and vice versa).

Both projects have some features that the other one doesn't have (we are working, slowly, to import some froggba features).

Both project use AI. I don't know what is the workflow of froggba.
I can tell that, as a contributor of this repo and as a person that has no code skill, i use AI to vibe code and every change is tested by myself on my PSP. After it passes my tests the code is sent to andymcca (which is the actual dev with experience) and it's reviewed by him. (Note that my contribution is basically UI stuff, so very basic code and low risk of breaking things).
Can't write how the other use AI, but they are actual devs with tons of experience that know what and how to do stuff, so however they use AI, they can understand if the code is good or not.

Our readme is AI made, write that takes time, which both of us lack, and language skills (which I lack since English is not my main one). For the readme we apply the same concept, AI writes but we check all and correct if something is wrong.

We are more than glad to look into any kind of issue, emulator problems, readme not understandable or lack of informations, that all of you user can open. And if any of you want to contribute, even if not by code but maybe just rewriting the readme, part of it, or anything, you are more than welcome to open a pull request, this is the beauty of open source project also.

@Darthagnon I've worked on gpsp manually (i.e. no AI) for years, so came to this with a good idea of the issues and areas for improvement. Used AI to help as frankly it's just easier and helps with bug fixing, as I know the codebase well already.

I'm biased but I do think it's the best experience you're going to get for GBA emulation on the PSP (outside of link cable emulation etc)
