Hacking PSP Retro Emulators

[xist]

Now I'm having trouble with Daedalus. It worked before, but now whenever I try to boot it my PSP shuts off.

Have you tried systematically disabling your plugins?

Nope, I'll get back to you on that one.

 

[Janthran]

Yep, it worked. Thanks Xist!

Anybody have experience with Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge for GBA? It always crashes on gpSPkai, but it seems to work on gpSP-J. I just want to know if maybe it starts having problems later into the game.

someone went through and reorganized the article. i added a few missing things, fixed the placement of the virtual boy, and then alpha-ordered the article. some sections were left blank, i added content when i could and removed the rest until a later date. i'm assuming the updater will come back to make final adjustments.

is there a way to play Mario paint on Snes9xTYLmecm??

I use this thread all the time. PSP master race.

I am trying the SNES9x emulator and I placed some of my snes roms in the rom folder but they don't show up for me to select them. Do they have to be have a certain extension to show up?

It reports an error with the memory stick. There should be no problem with it, it's brand new official that I bought with the system at Target and formatted in the PSP and everything else reads fine.

Try hitting triangle a few times to go back to the root, then navigate to the ROMs folder yourself.

Yeah, I tried that. I can navigate to the rom folder but nothing shows up there. When I hook it up to the computer all the roms show up fine.

 

[Rydian]

They're not zipped or anything, are they?

 

[blaisedinsd]

So even when deleting all the Roms the emulator still was reporting some Emory stick error so I tried another emulator and had the same issue of them not showing up.

I figured out I have to change the rom to .smc file extensions and then they show up and work. I am kind of disappointed with the quality of the snes emulation though. I expected more coming from dstwo emulators and its really not significantly better.

Unfortunately it takes more power than the PSP has to emulate a lot of SNES games well. SuperGnes on android runs things like starfox/stunt race fx/yoshi's island full speed on my htc one, I believe there was slowdown on my older SGS2 with the same emu however. Speedhacks might help but can introduce timing issues etc.

Is SNES emulation on a PS2 better?

Is SNES emulation on a PS2 better?

Most definitely not. The actual "homebrew" that is worth using on the PS2 is woefully limited.

 

[blaisedinsd]

Really? I was thinking of setting it up to play ps2 games over the network, I heard this works pretty good. I have had zero success doing ps2 emulation on my computers so I was thinking this may be the best solution for me to be able to play ps2 backups

What is THE best SNES emulator for PSP to date? i want to download one and play Donkey Kong

 

[johnny-sasaki]

I'm using UO gpSP Kai 3.4 Test 3 Build 152(downloaded here at gbatemp) but I can't play Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition and Double Dragon Advance,I only get a white screen.I tried lots of different configurations on the emulator menu and no results.Are those two games pretty much unplayable on PSP?No way to play them?so far,I managed to play lots of other GBA games except those two.

 

[Rydian]

You could try the other emulator linked in the article.

 

[johnny-sasaki]

I tried all the emulators on the wikia,and both Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition and Double Dragon Advance are still the only ones that don't run.Everything else I tested,worked fine.Is there any AT ALL to play them on the PSP?
