PSP Emulation - Latest Emulators - RIN v1.26 Has Been Releas

[davidbrit2]

Okay, got NesterJ, PCEP (TG16), and SMS installed. All three seem to work really well. And I think PCEP might even have support for TG16 CD games. Have any of you guys tried this yet?

And the Genesis emulators that I tried all sucked so far. I'm sure they'll improve eventually.

Haven't tried SNES9X yet. Which of the different ports seems to work the best right now?

Man, I'm going to need a bigger memory stick. He he.

[Cmtz]

There's a Genesis emulator that runs full speed and full sound. You probably didn't put it at 333mhz.


Here it is just in case.

I want to try rondo of blood on the new pc engine emulator, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it (read me is unreadable, its not even in japanese O_O anyone know how to make the japanese characters appear in notepad so that I can try a translating program (I know they suck, but its something LOL )).

Castlevania 1,3,4,bloodlines, and rondo= 8-)

[ddockery]

I can't get the DOOM port to run. It starts to load, screen goes balck and I get some text. Last line says that it's initializing the WAD file. The readme is useless. Anybody have any idea wtf I've got wrong? I got the Genesis emu running and this is going to rule. Can't wait until I get my hands on a 1GB card.

[Jibbajaba]

Anyone know where else I can get a copy of the KX Exploit? The thread that I posted the link for has a broken download link now. :(

There is actually a RAR file available on http://www.psphacker.com with all the available emulators already converted to the PSP and usable with the exploit. 6MB I believe. Just copy to the memory stick direct!

Okay, got NesterJ, PCEP (TG16), and SMS installed. All three seem to work really well. And I think PCEP might even have support for TG16 CD games. Have any of you guys tried this yet?

PCEP 0.7, just released today, has CD-ROM ISO support, but I haven't a clue how to make it work. Anyone else?

If nobody figures it out by the time I get a big enough memory stick (possibly this weekend), I'll experiment with ripping one of my TG16 CD games and running it. Hopefully it's just something simple like ripping a .bin/.cue image.

Or do you think it could be something as simple as just copying all the files from the CD to a folder, along with .AIFF format audio tracks...? Nah, that would be too easy. :-)

[Oobgarm]

Thanks to everyone posting in this thread. I just got NesterJ running and I think a little bit of pee came out when I got it working.

:D

[Jasoco]

I totally can't believe I stupidly and mindlessly upgraded to 1.51. I really want to play NES and SNES emulators. Maybe Genesis too. Is there a MAME yet? I really want to play Pop 'n' Twinbee "Bells and Whistles".

[ddockery]

I would bet the TG16 CD support needs a bin/cue or iso image like the PC emulators do. I realy doubt copying files from the CD would do anything except take up space.

Edit: there's a thread on this at the dcemulation PSP forum. Apparently the game needs to be in the ISO + MP3 format to work. And I was assuming they wouldn't even have support for music yet.

I think there's a way to play emu's on the 1.51, but it still requires a swap trick. I have to go get my check so I can't look for it right now, but maybe after I have some time I might look into getting it to play without swapping. No promises though.

Someone mentioned that it involves THREE memory sticks, but that there is indeed a way to run unofficial stuff. That's all the info I have.

There's an early version of MAME (0.71) with a very odd list of supported games, most of them weak sauce. Mappy was the best one I saw while scanning the menu.

I got Splash Lake going, but I'm not hearing sound effects, just MP3 tunage. (Does the game even *have* sound effects? I don't see a sound test on the option menu.)

EDIT: J.B. Harold Murder Club works, as well, though I had to "format" RAM with the Super System Card before booting it up. Off to try Ys Book I & II...

[buttasuperb]

Shit, I gotta get me a 1gb memory card soon.

Too bad I missed out on the QVC deal for $40.

[Jibbajaba]

I bought a 512 card yesterday. It is way more room than you need to run these emulators, unless you are wanting to carry around your entire ROM collection. If you were just wanting to have the NES emulator, and maybe even the TG16 emulator, with a few roms for each, the stock 32 meg card will work fine.

Chris

[buttasuperb]

Yea I wouldn't mind having a 1gb card just so I can rip movies and such as well.

[spider-man]

Sweet, got rondo of blood to work (was tricky to get it working). Now I'm off to play some psp :)

If anyone would like, I could post how (would it be against board rules though? Even if I don't provide iso/mp3 links (of course))?

How many MB did it take to fit it on the card? I need to know if I'll be safe with a 512, or if I should hold out for a 1 GB.

[spider-man]

81 mb

[Mayhem]

Anyone got a link to a notation list for ROMs? I know some of them, just not sure about others.

(stuff like !, [o], [ju], [e]... that sort of thing)

So I've been toying with NesterJ so far, just to see what the emulation is like. Very nice. Though for all the ROMs I've played on it, the emulator seems to be in NTSC mode (and hence running faster than I recall playing the games here in PAL land). What determines the mode in the emu? The ROM origin itself? I can't find an option in the emulator to change the region from NTSC to PAL.

[zmweasel]

PSPGenesis v0.13 is out today, with the added feature of SRAM support for games with battery backup, although it's spotty, and doesn't work with all games (including--sigh--Pirates! Gold).

I remember having a link to a site that explained them all. All I remember where:

I got in on that deal. It is backordered and hopefully will not be cancelled. Right now, I am using the 32mb card that came with the PSP and am enjoying much NES via PSP goodness...

[rayearthknight]

Okay....so, if I went out to the local EBgames and bought a new PSP today--along with a 256 MB card

and then downloaded Kxploit...

I could play emulated NES games without swapping out memory cards?

[zmweasel]

Yes, you could. Just make sure you get KXPloit Tool 0.3. And make sure you don't "Network Update" your PSP's firmware beyond version 1.5.

yes as long as it is a 1.5 system, not a 1.51 or 1.52

... once you have the roms, the process takes about 10 seconds to figure out and then a couple minutes to download the files and then put them on your PSP...

[CitizenWhite]

Anybody sure how to get SNES9x (the optimized version) to run on this? I looked through the other posts and didn't notice it. I copied it over with the exploit, and it seems to be running, it just doesn't detect my rom(s), which have the .smc extension.

[zmweasel]

So I've converted three TG-CD games for use with PCE for PSP, and all three of 'em suffer from scratchy/poppy/mangled MP3 playback, though the game code itself runs fine. Do other PCE/TG emulators suffer this same problem?

This is a stupid bug in part of most of the emulators that where compiled off the RIN code. The easiest thing to do is place roms on different folders and see which roms are read and then place all your roms on that folder. Hope that helps.

[Mayhem]

Btw are the new emulators that come out for use on the PSP automatically uploaded as EBOOT files for you to put straight onto the memory card?

(or at worst put through the exploit program to split them into two)

[arrrggghhh]

Has anyone else tried this? I can get it to work, and run games, but nothing shows up on the menu. No games to select, or anything. I just push a button and one of the games loads up...

Are you placing the system.fnt file (which should be in the ZIP) into the same directory as PSPGenesis?

I've been downloading my EBOOTs from PSPHacker.com and running 'em through KXPloit Tool 0.3, which automatically copies the converted files onto the Stick. Quick and painless.

There are also "emulator packs" with multiple pre-converted emulators that you unzip and copy to the Stick.

[zmweasel]

According to PSPHacker.com, Konami's Coded Arms forces a firmware update before it'll run, the first PSP game (and certainly not the last) to do so. The ball's back in the hackers' court.

[Jibbajaba]

I would like to download the two updates for Wipeout Pure, but I am afraid that it will automatically update my firmware without telling me. Has anyone successfully downloaded these packs without having their firmware monkeyed with?

PSPHacker.com has both of the Gamma Packs in its Files archive (in the Game Addons directory), and the listing for Gamma Pack 2 says it won't update your firmware.

Does anyone know a good utility that takes .IPS files and patchs them to the rom?

I'm trying to play Bahumut Lagoon but for some reason the IPS file won't load with the rom and when I renamed both files the same it just turns off the PSP when I try to load it :(

Also would anyone know whats a good set up for the SNES emu? I'm trying other games but they seem stunted even without sound and the PSP overclocked.

THe psp is not overclocked at 333. There I've said it. I usually use 333 mhz and skipframe 2 or 3.

I used a utility called SNESTool v1.2 to splice IPS and ROM files. Look for it in the download section of Nerologic.com.

I'm running at 333MHz (which isn't actually overclocking the PSP, by the way--it just kills the battery faster), with a frameskip of 3 and a sound rate of 22kHz. Not perfect by any means, but adequate for some of the stuff I've tried.

[spider-man]

For those interested in adding wallpapers to their psps:

First you need to download gimp (a picture editor ala photoshop): over at:

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

(download the first two items)

Once you dl them, start them up

After you have them running, start up gimp, you will now see a tall skinny window on the left side of the screen, go to file and open any pic that you want on your psp.

Now go to image, then to scale image. Click the lock next to the image size's width and height. put in anything 300 x 170 or lower. Then click the scale button, now it will be resized to fit on your psp screen (looks small doesn't it, lol).

Now go to file and then save as. Put in the destination you want the pic to go to and make sure you make the pic a .bmp by using the file type option in that window, then save.

Now your set to rename it to whatever month and stick it in your psp (then to pspersonalize). Make sure it matches the requirements:

300 x 170
24 bit color
less than or equal to 150 kb

And thats it, enjoy ^_^

[buttasuperb]

I may have missed it in this thread, but is there a link that tells you what you have to do to get emus running? I just want to test it out with my 32mb card. Do I have to buy some sort of Memory card reader for my pc or something?

All the information you need is contained in this thread.

Chris

[Cmtz]

You need either a memory card reader or a usb cable.
If you have a digital camera that has one you most likley can use that one.

[buttasuperb]

Nice, I got a USB cable, probably 2 or 3 of them.

I'll stop being lazy and read better.

IPS files are patches, google Stealth IPS patcher or PM me and I'll send the file your way. Apply the IPS patch before you send it over to your PSP.

[davidbrit2]

Okay, heads up on a potentially cheap memory stick. I just got an older 128 MB Sony for about $17 at the local Circuit City. It's not the Pro kind, and it comes with a memory stick adapter. The model number is MSG-M128A, and the UPC is 27242 61103. If you can find any left at your local store, it's definitely a good deal if you just want to cart around a few NES, SMS, TG16, SNES, or Genesis ROMs. This should hold me until the emulators mature enough that I feel a 1 GB stick is worth the $100 or so. He he.

[buttasuperb]

Did you get it working? Butta

Nope I'm at work. I'll try after work if I have time.

[rayearthknight]

Yes!
I got the NES emulator running...I was beaming one I saw the title screen for Metal Gear appear...Now...to see if the TG-16 one works so I can once again play Psychosis and Neutopia

[norkusa]

Man, this is great. I have a Mac, so davidbritt helped me out and emailed me the split files so I'd be able to load them on my computer. They were a snap to install I've been having a blast playing RBI 3 on the NES emulator.

The Genesis and SMS emulators seem to run pretty smooth too. Finally I'm starting to get some use out of my PSP!

[segagamer4life]

the NES ones don't run for me, what did you guys do to get it goin?

[Jibbajaba]

the NES ones don't run for me, what did you guys do to get it goin?

Could you be more specific with your problem? Does the emulator run but the sames wont start or does the emu not start at all?

Did you install the exploit app on your PC? Do you have >1.50 firmware on your PSP?

Chris

[davidbrit2]

The Genesis and SMS emulators seem to run pretty smooth too. Finally I'm starting to get some use out of my PSP!

Yeah, those two are decent, but they're still quite lacking in polish. I'm sure they'll improve, though.

I find that NesterJ (NES) and PCEP (TG16) work the best. I have yet to try MAME, the Gameboy emulator, or any of the SNES9x ports. Any recommendations on which of those are good?

I get a 8000102 error, that the app can't run, thats what happens when I do and the answers to all other questions are YES.. I have the latest exploit app, and the genny and pcengine apps run fine, also my snes 9x runs slooooow.. anyone else?

[rayearthknight]

I beleive there are two pboot files. One of them should be in the NES% folder and is about 700kbs in size.
When I loaded Jnester, the file was a pboot file that had zero kb. I replaced it with the 700 and the system ran the program--which takes you to the emulator's menu

[segagamer4life]

thx I will try that

[norkusa]

I'm having a problem with the SMS emu. It plays the games great but when I scroll thru the ROM list screen and the list starts to move, the names start overlapping and I can't make any of the names out. Strange because this doesn't happen with the NesterJ emu (haven't loaded up enough ROM's on TG16/Genesis emus yet to see if it happens on those too).

Anyone else having this problem? Should I re-load the SMS emu into the PSP, or won't that do anything?

[Anthony1]

Can somebody please take a pic of their PSP with a TG-16 game on it?


And then some how post it in this thread?

Which SNES emu is everbody using to load bahamut Lagoon I really want to play this game. Either that or if someone would be so kind as to send me off a copy thats translated and works :)

Also I found an installer prgram that installs the pbp's and hides the corrupted data it has my seal approval. heres the link.

for NES i recomend NesterJ and for SNES you gotta go for SNES9Xy...i dont remember what the Y is all about, but they are a lot better

like i said the emulators are gettin updated everyday, so it just keeps getting better and better...hell they fixed that, having to switch memory sticks issue pretty damn quick

They don't have anything more current that is split, do they? I'm dying to get a SNES emu on my PSP that runs at full speed. Can anyone help a brother out? :P
