Sorry @jasper2404 ,but don't understand your question!

@Wickedchew ,not all games open correctly, for example Street Fighter Zero 3 when you load it you only hear the audio but the screen remains black.

 

[Wickedchew]

oh damn,.i didnt realize the CPS2 was updated to 2.3.5..
what i got is 2.3.1 for psvita slim

anyway ,..still got black screen on xmen vs streetfighter..will try other roms

 

[Zadeora]

I am facing the same problem. Some ROMs work and some just either give black screen with please wait and sometime psvita error codes. Not able to find any fix. Searched everywhere with Google but no luck.

I think it is something related to memory. Anything going above 32 MB just wont work despite the fact that latest adrenaline supports 64 MB memory. I even enabled extended memory from advanced configuration in recovery. No luck whatsoever.

 

[NeoGranzon]

@Zadeora and @Wickedchew ,do you have the latest Adrenaline version 7 installed?
I didb't understand after a long time what the problem is,i tried to change the rom but the problem remains with some games.

 

[Wickedchew]

actually i tried different roms on CPS2PSP2.3.5 and seems all roms are "please wait blank screen" when opening it..
this is on the PS Vita Slim adrenaline v7.

there is a sound playing but only "please wait blank screen",
if you push power button it sleeps the vita but when u open it.. it just crashes the adrenaline

@Wickedchew ,I also have the PS Vita Slim and Adrenalina 7,this unfortunately is an emulator made for the PSP Slim(,you should ask someone who has a PSP if they have the same problems loading.games.

 

[Zadeora]

.@NeoGranzon yes I have a Ps Vita slim and the latest adrenaline.
I also have 2 PSP slims 2000 and 3000 and all ROMs work perfectly in CPS2slim. The problem is with adrenaline and its related to memory. Smaller footprint ROMs work fine but Marvel vs Capcom. Xmen vs Street Fighter, Marvel super heroes vs street fighter etc donot work

I have even tried CPS2PSP for 1000 model but that version simply wont load the complete Rom files.

@Zadeora thanks for you feedback,as i suspected it's the fault of Adrenaline 7,
I don't know if things change with the previous version of Adrenaline. For example,with Adrenaline 7 if i try to enter official settings and try to rename my nickname,the app crashes.

 

[Zadeora]

OK finally I found a solution. The problem is with adrenaline v7. This is what I did and everything now works perfectly

1. Made a new folder and named it mypspdata in Vitashell. Moved all my games iso from ux0/pspemu/ISO folder to mypspdata. Moved emulator folders and ps1 games from ux0/pspemu/PSP/GAME/ to mypspdata

2. Moved the 661.PBP firmware file from ux0:app/ PSPEMUCFW/ to mypspdata folder.

3. Deleted adrenaline by holding bubble and delete.

4. Downloaded adrenaline v6.9 from official GitHub link and ftp it to ux0


5. Installed adrenaline.vpk. Exit out of vitashell to confirm it was installed. Did not run adrenaline yet and entered vitashell again.

6. Opened vitashell and moved 661.PBP back to ux0:app/ PSPEMUCFW/

7. Moved everything from mypspdata folder back to their respective locations of step 1. Exit out of Vitashell

8. Run adrenaline and it asked to install 661.PBP which I accepted and happily booted into XMB.

9. Checked CPS2PSP and MVSPSP for different ROMs and all worked fine even I checked adhoc play within both it worked flawlessly between my Vita and PSP2000.

10. What I conclude is that there is some bug which effects these emulators in adrenaline v7. Downgrading to v6.9 solves the problem.

Hope this helps others

@Zadeora ,you did well to move the data so as not to lose it, however you can downgrade without spoiling anything Adrenaline 6.9 overwrites the V7, anyway thanks and i will let you know if it solves the problem and i will modify the OP if necessary.

 

[Zadeora]

And I forgot to mention the most important thing. I have tested everthing in CPS2PSP standard version. Slim version doesnot work well and gives me the please wait on adrenaline 6.9 on some roms.

So use CPS2PSP for phat PSP 1000 and create caches for all games. Same is true for MVSPSP the slim version still gives me errors on some ROMs but the phat version seems to work fine on all the ROMs that I have tested

 

[Wickedchew]

oh thank you..will check it out later

@Zadeora ,how do you create the cache for roms?

 

[Zadeora]

@Zadeora ,how do you create the cache for roms?

Well go to the 1st step link mentioned in OP and and download the romcnv.zip and extract it. There is a file in the extracted folder by the name cps2_3xx_all+·-++¬++.bat

Run it on a windows PC and it will ask for location of your cps2 rom files on pc. Select the folder where you have your rom backups. It will generate cache files of all ROMs and create a cache folder in romcnv folder. Copy and paste the cache folder in the the same folder on vita where your roms are which is ux0/pspemu/PSP/GAME/CPS2/

The same procedure also works for neogeo mvs. Cache files are generated using mvs_3xx_all+·-++¬++.bat file

 

[Wickedchew]

i have downgraded to 6.9... now CPS2 is now having blackscreen
