PSP: Emulation
 

Let us discuss the wonders of this new hack, well maybe not new, but wonderful hack.

I've recently just begun emulation on my PSP and so far I have SNES, Genesis, and MAME. However the PSPMAME only supports a few games so far.

But right now, I am playing Chrono Trigger and re-experiencing the classic....portably... mwahaha

How about everyone else?

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

what i have running on my psp...
GBC emu
NES emu
SNES emu
Genesis emu
MAME emu

Games im playin are the sonic games for Genesis, and punchout on NES, and im playin the 2 zelda games Oracle of Seasons/Ages that i never got to play on my GBC (i own them, i just never got around to playin em, small screen, not lit hard to see)

i own a few GBA games that i'd like to play on the PSP screen, so i cant wait till they get the GBA emu working good.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Although the emu's don't necessarily fill up the whole PSP screen I went into the SNES9X menu and changed Screen Size to "FIT" and it fills up the whole screen vertically and keeps the aspect ratio........ which is good in sense, considering all old games don't support widescreen.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

yea i use all my emulators on full size fit. im fine with having black on the left and right of the game screen.

cept the genesis one doesnt have that option yet.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Sounds pretty wicked. Does it support N64 or PSX emus? Or do those even exist?

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

No support for the N64 and PSX emulators yet. They've got just about everything else though....... It wouldn't surprise me if the N64 emu comes out soon, considering it's also catridge based and easy to compile.

GoldenEye here I come!!!

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

i doubt its powerful enough to handle anything more then SNES/GBA

sorry. while a N64 emu might be made for it, i dont think it will ever run well.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

MY PSP ROX0RS NOW!

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

theres a lot of good backgrounds now :)

little too much white on that one tho, makes it more difficult to read. however i could take care of that in photoshop if i wanted to use that background. infact, i might be able to edit thoes kinda good. add a couple things. HMMM

is that only 1 background, or is it different for every month?

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I only chose one background... I didn't feel like making 12...

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

lol. what i did when i made one, was just make 1, then make 11 different color layers in photoshop. then save each layer.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

lol thats an idea.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I figured I would finally try Terranigma and Final Fantasy 6 because I've never played them, but FF6 is a little bit too choppy. So I'm playing through Terranigma mostly.

It's a great game so far. Why did they never bring it over to North America? Idiots.

I'm also playing Claymates (I used to play it with my friend ALL the time and his copy just disappeared one day) and a lot of random other games.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Streets of Rage 2.... the best one

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Genesis Emulator? :O Where?

Personally I am quite enjoying it... And it got so much better once the card swapping was made unnecesary...

I dunno if it's the ROMs or the emulator, but a lot of the SNES games I try to play tend to freeze... And I downloaded them from a site that had a ton of NES and GB roms that worked perfectly fine...

Now if I may repeat myself... Genesis Emulator? :o

Edit: A little searching goes a long way. I have discovered the Genesis Emulator... Along with newer versions of a couple of the other emulators... Huzzah!

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

All my SNES games work wonderfully now under
Transparency: Off
Frameskip: 3
Sound: 11MHz
Sound Speed: 1.4
Graphics Speed: 1.4
PSP Clock: 333Mhz

Genesis works great under
333MHz
Cell
Autoram: n

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

SNES ones depend on the game, i also notice for Zelda on SNES, if you have transparency off, and you go outside, you can see anything cuz you cant see through the rain. lol., but all these emulators are very very early stages, they will only improve. :)

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

i cant afford a PSP quite yet but I dont know if I can resist Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee and the whole emulation thing...

*stares at wallet*

no...I cant...not yet

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Kirby Superstar is a cluster**** of slow. There's just no helping that game right now.

It's sad, I really want to play it on the go, badly.

And for the record, I haven't touched lumines or Hot Shots Golf once since this emulation. Hahah.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I haven't touched my games or movies either... the emulation is awesome, cuz you can have so many games on there....

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I was going to hold off getting a PSP for a bit until I could scrounge up the cash but I'm about to go out the door and get one right now if only for the emulation :D

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I like the idea of having these games there when you need them. Say I forget my UMD's I can call upon the powers of the older generations and play those games.

I mean...I may be speaking for myself only when I say, I STILL have fun playing Revenge of the Shinobi for Genesis..... or how about Streets of Rage?

Reminds me.. I haven't tried out Star Ocean yet.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

thing is, Some new games for PSP are going to have automatic firmware updates in them.


so you may buy a PSP game, and your emulators will no longer work. be careful what you buy :p

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Then I'll hold off getting games until flames come abound about peoples Emulators getting disabled and know which ones to avoid ;) :p

Kinda like the whole Star Wars Trilogy DVD with the demo on Xbox that auto-updated the dashboard and wiped out some people's hacks and they got utterly pissed about it ;)

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

The good thing is, there isn't even a game I want to buy in the next year. Take that, Sony!

Yeah, PSP is completely worth the money now. I'm glad I bought it. I take it with me everywhere.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Dev teams all over will constantly hack and hack... eventually they will find a way around these endeavors and even design emulators that can work on ANY firmware PSP.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

more likely then finding away around every version, are things like, a program/hack that would tell the new games that your psp is the highest version, therefor the new games wouldnt update anything, or make like a version switching program for the psp.

something well be done to get around it no doubt.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

of course....

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

- For anyone interested in getting rid of the Currupt Data icons -


rename the normal folder with ___1 at the end, getting it up to EXACTLY 33 characters long.
Then rename the % folder with a ~1% at the end.

EXAMPLE

SNES emu, folders names are SNES9x and SNES9x%

rename SNES9x to, SNES9x__________________________1
-(26 underscores getting the total characters in the name up to EXACTLY 33)
rename SNES9x% to, SNES9x~1%

example 2
PSPersonalize
rename PSPersonalize to PSPers__________________________1
rename PSPersonize% to PSPers~1%

doesnt seem to like really long ones like PSPersonalize, so make them shorter and fill in with extra underscores to get it to 33 chars.




Now its been said by some that fewer then 6 characters in the name before you add the underscores sometimes doesnt work. so for me i just made sure they were all at least 6 chars, like i had one folder named RIN, i made it RINgbc or RINemu then added the ___...1 to get it to 33 characters total. But maybe that was for OVER 6, perhaps under 6 works fine.




[EDIT] oh yes, and the EMU might not know where your roms are when you turn it on after doing this, so you'll just have to show it the new folder and it should be fine from then on.



[EDIT2] i changed it above for the PSPersonalize one, it doesnt seem to like when the name part of the folder name is longer then 6 or so, so instead of PSPersonalize___(etc)1, i made it PSPers__________________________1

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Can someone point me towards a tutorial on how to get the emulators onto the PSP, using only one memory card? I'm excited to try this out, but I have no idea how.

If the tutorial is on ps2info.com don't bother giving it to me, because that site blocked my email for some reason and I can't sign up to read anything there. I'm not sure why they blocked me, I've never been to it before I tried to sign up.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Yeah, Null, point me to the KXploit too? I've been too busy to find it.

I've swaploitted two more times since it came out, but I wouldn't mind having the one-memorycard solution.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

might be the domain is blocked from the email you used. so everyone with that email service is blocked. not just you.


Did you try just downloading the one from thier main site? didnt think you needed to sign up to get thoes.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Can't say this doesn't make me extremely jealous... this is awesome. Kudos to all those hardworking nerds with no lives.

I also find it kind of funny that people that boasted about the PSP being better for its power and great looking games are now playing NES games on it instead of the PSP games... haha.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

the extra power is needed to do this tho, i believe PSP has the power to do GBA/SNES games at full speed (eventually). if it was slower it could prolly still do NES, but not SNES/genesis etc.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

I'm not looking at this as a replacement for my PSP, because I still occassionally pick up my Wipeout or Dark Stalkers. But I look at these roms as backup for when I forget my UMD's or don't feel like playing.

Besides, everyone needs something in their lives to remind them of their roots. For me it's playing Streets of Rage on the Genesis, and playing RPG's on the SNES.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

hmmmmmmm, not all game folders like thier name being changed with that method i posted earlier. i guess some need to stick with the original names, untill the emu maker makes it so it can be any name.

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Actually the possibility of Emulators (specifically those of the NES and SNES kind) running on PSP is one of the reasons I bought one in the first place... :>

I mean the games do look better, and if you ask me there were more games that appealed to me on PSP than the DS... But the possibility of emulators was also a big plus...

And I am happy to see that these nice nerds with no lives have come through on that (^-^

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

:P

and on a side note, I find the program PBPMaker to be better then KXploit.

PBPmaker, will do the same thing as KXplit, however it will hide the currupt file for you when it makes the files. only problem is its all in funky leters so the program cant be read, (altho thats not any different from kxploit unless your spanish), Not only does it do that tho, it also keeps the original emulators icons, so instead of seeing that PSP DEV icon for every emulator in your list, they all have thier own icons. (just make the name of the emulator 6 digits long when you type it in, and i've found it works very well then.)

I find it useful, be nice tho if someone made one in english. lol

Re: PSP: Emulation
 

You know, the KXploit has an option that makes it in english.
