Want to get into PSP Emulation.

[Vixtro]

Hi I'm new to the whole PSP Emulation scene and I was wondering if you guys could give me some help on getting started.

I currently have 2.60 PSP with a USB cable so I can connect it to my PC and my only game is GTA:LCS.

What I would really like to do is play some old Megadrive games like Streets of rage so if anyone could tell me what I need to download to run Megadrive games on my PSP that would be grand.

Cheers.

first make sure you dont have a TA-082 motherboard
to do that, open your UMD drive, and look at the top right corner where theres a little green. if theres no writing, then its ok :)

Yea I just checked it and there no wiriting there but just green so thats all good :)

Now what what be the best Genesis/Megadrive emulator to use for 2.60 firmware and how would I go about putting it on my PSP?

Thanks ;)

first, you should downgrade to 1.5

[Vixtro]

Ok how and what programs do I need to do that?

[Video_freak]

I'm having a bit of trouble with it. After I select the downdater option the screen goes black then the little orange light in the left corner flashes for a few seconds then my PSP restarts straight away and say the disk cannot be read :confused:

do you have GTA inserted?

[Vixtro]

do you have GTA inserted?
Yea I have GTA in it all the way though. Should I eject it then when I start the downdater?

[Video_freak]

maybe your GTA disc is too new, they patched the game. does it come with the 2.0 update?

Yes it does. I just got the game a few weeks ago.

So does this mean I'm stuck with 2.60?

[Video_freak]

i dont know, try again i guess :confused:
otherwise try to either rent the game or borrow it from someone who has had it for a while

[Vixtro]

Is there any other way to do it?

[Video_freak]

i have to go to bed (i'm in France right now). send me personal messages.

I guess you don't have a 1.50 dump. Check the DOWNDATER folder on your computer and see if there are 5 folders in it somewhere: "data", "dic", "font", "kd", and "vsh". If not, please tell me.

[Vixtro]

No I dont have the 1.50 dump and I dont have a DOWNDATER folder on my PC.

All I have is a DOWNDATERTEST folder with EBOOT.PBP in it that the easydowngrader progam installed into my GAME directory on my PSP.

[IndianCheese]

Alright, I will send you a dump via PM. I will also include X-Flash so you can undo my modding if you want.

[IndianCheese]

Um, what is in the DOWNDATER folder?

[Vixtro]

All I have is a DOWNDATERTEST folder with EBOOT.PBP in it.

[IndianCheese]

O ok I will get you what you need right now.

[Vixtro]

When it sais put the DOWNDATER in the root directory on the PSP, where is that? Do I just put it in the PSP folder?

[pokemon_4_life_ese]

no put it in the same folder as the PSP folder so when you open up the USB Mass Storage thing on your computer there should be a folder called PSP and then put it in that same folder where the PSP folder is located

[Vixtro]

Ah yes it works. Even with my new version of GTA it still works, thats good ol PAL for ya :p

Cheers for all the help guys :D
