Cheezeball99's PSP Emulation Guide

[Cheezeball99]

Well, Acer's guide is getting a little dated, he asked me to update it for him but I just figured I'd make my own ^_^ Sorry, I'm not going to include the cheat info like Acer's does, because, well, quite honestly I don't dig cheating in games, therefore I'm not educated in information pertaining to such. As of the writing of this guide, which is taking place the early AM of April 25th, 2008, all the emulators should be at their most recent versions, unless otherwise noted.

This is a guide to (nearly, no guarantees) all emulators for the PSP. If there's more than one major emulator for a system, I'll name the one I find to be best. If you can't find what you're looking for here then you're probably not GOING to find it.:wink: Anyways, enough of this, onto the emulators!

General installation instructions: You should probably refer to the readme in each individual emulator, but the basic gist of it is this- Put the folder (or two, if exampleemu and exampleemu% exists) with the EBOOT into your GAME150 folder on phat PSPs or into the GAME folder on slim PSPs. Actual required folder may vary from emulator to emulator.

Version: v1.20 beta2
Works: Perfect
Links: 1.5 Kernel (http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/PSPSoftware/archive/NesterJ_v1_20beta2.zip) | 2.0+ Kernel / Custom Firmware (http://forums.exophase.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5745&d=1207526963)
Notes: There ARE a few unsupported mappers, but I think pretty much every NES emulator in existence has that problem... So there might be an obscure game or two that doesn't work.

[Acerthief]

Wow mate, nice job.

I could deleted mine XD.

[Darkchild]

Should add this to my "noob faqs" post o.o

VERY nice Cheezeball99! Very nice!

[RJC4LIFE]

To be fair you should add Takka's build of gpsp,albeit unofficial,it is an improvement over Exophase's version.Until 1.0 that is...and Daedalus works fine for the slim, and SMS Plus is supported on the slim,works great.Good job CheddarSphere.

[Cheezeball99]

To be fair you should add Takka's build of gpsp,albeit unofficial,it is an improvement over Exophase's version.Until 1.0 that is...

Yes, but the reason Exophase stopped work on gpSP to begin with was due to unofficial versions-
Exerpts from the readme of gpSP v0.9:

As some of you may be aware I'm pretty much tired of these unofficial releases by people (okay, mostly single person) who don't wish to follow my wishes.
Frankly, I'm tired of my emulator being hacked on by other people, and if it doesn't stop I'm going to make this project closed source.
Next time you upload unofficial releases of my emulator (without even knowing what's changed) bear in mind that you're only encouraging me to stop working on this.
Oh, and if you downloaded a version of gpSP that has more than "gpSP" in its name then you're using one of their versions. Shame on them for not even removing this threatening message, and shame on you.



So it's only right not to support what he discourages.

Daedalus works fine for the slim, and SMS Plus is supported on the slim,works great.
Thanks, updated!:thumbup1: I don't have a slim to test it on, hence is why I didn't know.

[RJC4LIFE]

Anything you need tested let me know and I'll check it out for you and you can add it here.

[Cheezeball99]

Pics added! Now to test the performance of the rest of the emulators I haven't yet.:smile:

[yasagani]

Thanks for all the hard work, Cheezeball. Really makes my life easier now. :smile:

[Cheezeball99]

Thanks for all the hard work, Cheezeball. Really makes my life easier now. :smile:
No problem, el d00derino!

I have tested all emulators now, with the exception of Handy- I don't own a Lynx, so I cannot legally obtain the boot ROM file, therefore I have no way of testing it, and MAME4ALL- the results would be different from ROM to ROM.

[FOL]

Nice guide.

Also to solve your "I could never figure out how to fix the fact that part of the right side of the screen was cut off" problem. Hold L + R Trigger and Select, or make sure screen lock is "off" and use L + R Trigger and Analogue stick to move screen around.

The reason for this is, because some configs caused a crash on reset when set to Auto Screen Zoom. I told it to check for autozoom on reset, if it was in autozoom, it would simply turn it off.

Another tip for the moment, is to use PSPUAE 0.70 as due to a mistake on my part, we lost some speed in 0.71. This will be corrected in next release.

[Seye]

Wow nice job but have not used an emulator on my psp yet but where can i download games? For sega and sness emulators?Thanks

[papayaninja]

I'm having trouble running Snes9xTYL. I have a PSP phat running 4.01 m33-2, which isn't talked about at all in the readme (which is really, really old...) I've tried both the ME and Standard editions, and I'm taking the contents of the folder 1.50 and putting them in my GAME150 folder. The PSP can see the eboot, and it comes up in the XMB, but when I run it I get "The game could not be started. (80020148)". I've tried using both the 1.50 and the 4.xx kernel thinking that might be the problem, but no luck. Any help?

edit: I solved the problem by myself, so for anyone else, here's the answer. I used the slim version of the emulator, and it worked fine. It only has one folder which you move to the /PSP/GAME folder on your memory stick. Piece of cake, once you figure out that you need the slim version despite owning a phat.

I need help with the MAME emulator. I downloaded it, but I don't know what to do after that. Im running 3.90 m33-3 (phat psp) Is there a step by step post on here. Thanks!
I also downloaded a rom but when I unzip the rom there are like 10 diff. files with the rom, is that normal?

[B2K24]

The MAME emulator is made to run zipped archives you don't need to unzip them.
You also need a specific MAME rom set 0.96 I believe as the emulator can't run updated versions of the MAME library unfortunately. Consult the readme for more help.

I think I wanna try the CPS1 emulator, but I get confused when you have to decrypt the roms or whatever. Is there a step by step process on here that may help? Thanks!

You must mean the CPS2 emulator? You need to convert each one of your ROMs with the included romcnv_cps2.exe and it will create a cache folder that needs to be moved over to the emulator folder.

As for the CPS1 emulator, it does not require creating a cache folder... just drop your ROM files in the emulator folder. They should be in ZIP format.

I have been trying to get these emulators working and I've been having a problem. The first one I tried was PicoDrive and it worked without a hitch. Every other one that I tried(SNES9x,Wonderboy,NesterJ,etc) gives me corrupted data. By the way I have a PSP Phat with CFW 3.90 M33-3 on it. By the way, great thread. Keep up the great work.

Make sure you are copying the folder that has an EBOOT.PBP inside.

The PSP looks for applications in this fashion: X:/PSP/GAME/FOLDER/EBOOT.PBP

If you have X:/PSP/GAME/FOLDER/FOLDER/EBOOT.PBP it will show corrupt data.

[GlassJoe]

Using the MasterBoy emulator as an example: PSP/GAME/MASTERBOY/EBOOT.PBP is what I have and it gives me corrupt data. The masterboy folder has other things in it too like ROMS SMS, ROMS GBC, etc.

Ok I downloaded the CPS1 emulator from this site (cheeseballs) When I downloaded it I got 2 readme files and 1 "cps1psp" file. Inside the cps1psp file I have these files: eboot.pbp, rominfo.cps1, zipname.cps1, zipnamej.cps1. I tried putting the cps1psp file into Game, game 150, and game 380 files, but I got a error message 80020148. I tried going into recovery mode and changing the Kernel from 3.90 to 1.50 and tried putting the file into all 3 game folders ,but same result. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[paulagent]

I got it, i didn't have the 1.50 kerneladdon, thanks for all the help guys. One more question.
I have been wanting to play the Ninja Gaiden arcade game, which emulator does this game work for?

[paulagent]

Ok Im trying to get the neo geo emu working on my fat psp cfw 3.90 m33-3. I have downloaded the MVSPSP file from here and I also created a cache folder for the games I want to play. The problem is when I start up the emulator on my psp and go to roms and try to play the game, it goes thru the cache process but then I get a "BIOS not found" message. Was there a Bios file that was supposed to be included, because I don't have 1. Thanks for the help!

Yes you need the BIOS file. It's not included as the file is under copyright. Search Google for "neogeo.zip" and place it in the emulator's ROMS directory.

[paulagent]

kool, got it to work, thanks so much!

[psp318player]

where do i put my roms

[paulagent]

There should be a roms folder inside the emulator, roms go there and make sure they are in zip format.

Most of the emulators listed here should - just make sure you use the custom firmware or "3.x kernel" version.
