Just checked again to make sure. The freezing issue someone had with dino crisis i don't have with the psn release.
Thank you for your valuable input on this. :grog:

So then my idea was right all along, none of this is adrenaline fault, is playstation fault. I keep telling people stop expecting stuff to work when is not official. I may not be a programmer or made any of this, but i can assume adrenaline is based on official psp, and just like the official psp, games not on psn will not always have best result with compatibility.

If you have any time by chance, can you try bust a groove one or 2 on adrenaline? (Yes you will need to convert since is not on psn) I mentioned before that is not properly audio and video sync so it was problematic unplayable due to difficulty reasons, is a rhythm game.

Thats b/c I usually use the VPK adrenaline which messes with DB file
Are you speaking of the easy installer, if so then yes i see why now, but is not necessary to use it, cause you can simply replace 3 files and do not need to go through any other problems you mentioned above. The flow has said since v4 release, all updates of adrenaline can be downloaded from with in the app, (just like you would with official psp firmware updates.) So no longer would a easy installer need to update the app, which was silly in the first place. It was made to make initial installation easy, since people had difficulties with setup since taihen beta days it was released last year.

Both i guess, just to be sure, no problems are caused by adrenaline. Is been my theory that is only playstation poor emulation which is why not all games was considered for psn, much like virtual console and is injections not all will work properly. (I know since i tried street fighter II turbo revival with so many bugs and glitches on Virtual console for 3ds.)

Just tried both games out with a couple of songs. The audio/video sync issue is bad for music rhythm games. Didn't notice the issue myself until playing games like bust a groove where you have to time button presses. Feels like you have to relearn the game all over again.

Yeah, that was the problem i had when using it, so was this tested on both versions of adrenaline? Then the final verdict is not adrenaline but playstation poor emulation incompatibility with some games or the conversion method used to make the eboot, and you all should be shamed for blaming flow. :P

Both, It's not as bad as in v4. You might be right with it being poor compatibility with some ps1 games in general.

Well you have to consider why such games don't exist officially, yes is true that other supporting reasons like licensing and losing ip control or other factors that seem obvious to us, but we aren't the ones who designed the psp emulation of ps1 in the first place, sony did. They must knew why and what games should work and shouldn't. Ps1 support was added in one update of psp and never again was changed, is outdated and expecting it to work with unofficial games is a stretch. It just more technical than we know.

Just as i said before about virtual console, how some games need to support the game properly which is why each game that exist for it works properly cause it adds proper support and not a simple based emulator. Not every game will work unofficially without some kind of fix. Sadly no one knows what that "fix" is or how to go about it. Which is why we use emulators like epsxe in the first place which is godlike on android especially on nvidia shield. :P

Get a shield portable/tablet/tv and get epsxe, you're better off with that than relying on psp cfw to play all your ps one desired games unless is on psn, that goes to anyone. :creep:

quick paranoid question.

guys if i were to use those save states only, is there a chance they could corrupt ?
the save states are so convenient. (and they can be used for psx games only, or also psp now?)

but i somehow am afraid to not be saving in the actual game as well, what are your takes on this matter fellas?

They can be used for both PSX and PSP games. I've had no problems with it. I have used it on one PSP beta game that didn't have any ordinary save function. One important detail is that the savestate only works on the version of Adrenaline that it is created on. I read somewhere that someone even lost all savestates when upgrading to newer version of Adrenaline. You can also make regular backups of your savestates if you are worried. They are stored in ux0/pspemu/psp/savestate.

Is your game bought from playstation network or made with conversion software?

Has anyone had any luck with the Tales of Phantasia fan translation?

i'll try it out, i have the game in my psp folder.

edit: i'm getting a blackscreen with ToP Fan translated version.


I don't see a problem with using save states

i sadly encountered an issue with it, i dont think i'll use it.

too risky, my Tomba save state has been wiped after i updated to Adrenaline V4 from V3.1
so i guess i'll stick to normal in game saving from now on.

Well to be fair, that game is already on psn so it would work normally with no problems. Also yeah, the filters work on ps1 games now so is no surprise. Just if anyone uses pstv, don't play in 1080I, filters cause slower fps and can't be disabled on adrenaline v4, so 720P or 480P is the way to fix the framerate issue in v4

I'm very new to this Adrenaline.. I'm trying to install it on my Vita, but I get this message:

act.dat file not found, you must activate your vita first!

How do I activate my vita?
