Send me a PM with links to this new "information"

originally it required 2 mem sticks, but now theres a way to do it with 1. i havnt tried the one using just 1 mem stick yet, i wanted to get the basic part down first. wasnt really too hard. i'll try the 1mem stick method soon tho.

i just use a little USB stick, that has a empty slot in it. i slide the memory stick into that and plug it into usb, it works exactly like a USB flash drive would.

i think you can use the usb cable to connect the psp directly to the computer with the mem card inside that tho.

Wait wait wait Null... You have a Japanese PSP?

If you have an American one, check the Firmware Version... If it's 1.51, them you must show me this emulator :>

No, the 1.5 swaploit trick works on 1.5 PSPs, which is what all the North American PSPs are by default.

I downloaded the swaploit trick the second it came out and I am thoroughly satisfied with my PSP now. I'm finally finding time to play through Terranigma and Final Fantasy 6. It's totally, completely worth the price now.

The only problem I have is keeping my PSP in sleep mode. Apparently if you keep it in sleep mode while playing an emulator, you run the risk of corrupting your memory card. I back my data up every time I go out now.

And I guess the other problem is that SNES is choppy on some games for me. Like, Kirby Superstar is really.. unplayable due to the speed it runs at. Everything else is fine if you clock the right frameskip in, aside from music distortions. Null, they released a really, really good genesis emu yesterday and it works fantastically.

Have you tried changing your backgrounds Null? That's really cool.

unless you updated yours, you should have 1.5, not 1.51

and no dyne, i havnt tried the new backgrounds yet. Is there a way to save the current backgrounds the psp has? i dont want to be stuck without a way to get the original ones back on.

I'll have to try the gens emu next. im very happy they found a way tho for you to set the CPU on the PSP up to its full 333 mhz, sony stuck it at 222mhz cuz of the battery issue, but with emulators running off the mem stick, battery isnt much of an issue. so its nice to be able to run it at full power. altho im using that a bit sparingly incase they did something wrong and the psp doesnt like running at that.

i think they'll have the SNES games running perfect eventually. they need to optimize it a bit more which will help it gain power.

Couldn't answer you there. But why would something read on the memory card affect something on the BIOS? From what I've seen it's just a soft overlay on the background animation, not a full-on change. But I could be wrong.

I've run everything at 333 MHz so far, and nothing bad has happened. In fact, I'm still on the same battery charge from a few days ago. I've also listened to MP3s for two hours, and watched a 20-minute episode of Zelda. Also, a bit of RE: Apocalypse.

Null · 06-20-2005, 03:57 PM

from what i read, it actually replaces the files for the background. i'll have to read up on that some more to see, maybe it doesnt effect the originals at all.

[EDIT]
omg, just tried the doom game, wow. im not exactly sure what that is, like a port of the PC version? its not an emulator of one of the consoles tho its its own game, runs extremly smooth, i'm quite amazed at that one, i hear that also have Quake. i shall now go in search of Quake.

DeathsHand · 06-20-2005, 04:36 PM

Null do you use the Doom program the same way you run the emulators?

Edit: Nevermind I got it! Woot!

Dyne · 06-20-2005, 04:52 PM

I've heard some bad things about Doom. Crap about corruption and all that.

Eh, I'm happy with my emus.

after reading up on it more, yes, it Perminatly replaces the original backgrounds. Altho i found the original backgrounds to download again, so its all good.

gunna try and make my own i think.

[edit]

and just tried that Genesis emulator and thats very very nice. cant wait till they get the SNES one up and running as well as that one already is. as well as a GBA one.

And im sure it wont be long before someone makes a Divx player for it now

i can store my videos in better quality, lower space with divx, quit using thoes stupid converter programs. woo!

*goes back to playing sonic*

Big update for thoes running emulators on PSP now...........

Tomorrow we'll no longer need to swap memory sticks. Aparently now all us 1.5 users will be able to do it just like 1.0, one memory stick. select and load up the emulator or external app.

Perfect Stu · 06-21-2005, 02:22 PM

so the PSPs that are currently in stores...emulators are working on them?

I no longer have my SNES or NES or Genesis and I want to play a lot of my old games...plus, maybe demo a few of the other games

If this is the case, I may have to run to stores and buy a PSP...now
