@chameleon: thanks man. im not sure if this will help at the moment for many reasons but it has pretty good compatibility for a proof of concept emulator :)

@mike: i dont use a camera. i use a screen capture plugin. would u like me to upload it for u?

edit: chameleon.. irsmp3? thats a music plugin, lol. i use something called capture.prx

so...
does the emulator work?
or is it just a "load only" thing, not yet playable?

bah
August 12th, 2007, 13:07
Its a 'test' that really didn't need to be released.

A quick port of an immature DS emulator for the PC.

No games are playable, and it will never be optimized enough to be anywhere near full speed even if the person who did the port wanted to keep developing it.

Don't get your hopes of DS emulation on the PSP up, its not going to happen in a meaningful way.

-Xandu-
August 12th, 2007, 13:22
You could enhance the list a little bit by adding playable or crashing categories.

But then again, you won't get any good results. It's just a "test release".

it does load ds games... not playable yet..........

The games will never be playable. Yes, maybe you will be able to get into the game, but there is no way you'll ever be able to play them as if you're on a DS, as the framerate will be too low. Just because a game can be loaded without crashing does not mean it will be able to be playable.

-Xandu-
August 12th, 2007, 15:19
Even if it played at full speed, which will never happen. How the hell are you going to emulate the touch screen? PSP Analog? I don't think so.

same thing people thought on n64 emu for psp.... and its running ok....
it just needs a person who has knowledge to take over and optimize the speed... as for the buttons i will show 2 possibilities

The EX
August 12th, 2007, 15:28
The N64 is around 5-6 years older than the DS, therefore it is much more likely to have a place in the 'working emulators for the PSP'. The hardware in the PSP is much more advanced then that of the Nintendo 64's. Now, it doesn't take a genius (it may in your case) to work out that the N64 is capable of being emulated on the PSP.

The buttons can be emulated easily, as shown in the release thread, but the touch screen is a different thing all together. You'd have to map the bottom half of the PSP screen (while tilted on it's side), and emulate it with an implemented mouse pointer. Is it possible? Yes. But not at all user friendly. The framerate of this emulator is appalling, and always will be.

Uhm, Exophase has said so much (that its not going to happen) himself.

If you feel you know more about the PSP/DS hardware and what it takes to emulate one on the other than he does then there is little any of us can say to dissuade you.

Also, this emulator could not be optimized to the point of being useful, it would be a full re-write.

No need to call others stupid just because you feel you know more than them.

i was thinking of that way instead of that sideways look

xandu, the ex imma have to dissagree with you this can work maybe some games if its the correct people that knows how to code their a** off even if its a port they can work with both pc and psp version

xg917
August 12th, 2007, 18:22
@bah: yes it is a test but that doesnt mean that it didnt have to be released, maybe people like me are curious about it and wanted to test it as well, so i thank sofiyacat for releasing this test emulator. ME, im testing its compatibility with games.

@hacksparrow: just a load and look. its a TEST release.

@xandu: i would add those catagories but, its too early to add different categories ie: playable, crashes, etc. because its too slow ATM and there is no input controls but we will see if anything happens in the future (if any more updates are made/released)


@The EX: and please.. i dont want any more arguments to happen. this thread isnt even about arguments over the emulator.. its a compat list to see which games load and dont. and so what if its slow as hell.

EDIT: @bah (again): exophase may be right but i dont know why he has been acting bezerk about this, i think he should mind his own business and keep on working on what ever hes doing now. i would love to see him make a NDS emulator to see how far he can go with it.. listen, he did say that it will never get to full speed but he doesnt even know the coder himself so i dont think he nor us can judge where this can go. I SAYY ------> "lets just hope for the best" andd ------> "a little less arguing and a little more TESTING" :)

@acn: nice concept pic. u and i have the same exact idea for this. but u said you wouldnt play with the screens that small :p

once again im going to say this: ITS JUST A TEST EXPERIMENT. if you dont think that this emulator will be successful then i dont want to hear from you since your posts will be about the same thing over and over again.

August 12th, 2007, 19:43
yeah i wanna see exophoase make his own ds emulator for psp well i rather not probaly no wifi sorry for posting this here but why is exophoase pumped up about it anyway make his own ds emu since he knows how to work bios files and exophoase if your reading and u make a ds emu add the firmware.bin file i would like to use the main menu maybe for what should i say PICTOCHAT DS DOWNLOAD PLAY

xg917
August 12th, 2007, 19:59
i dont think he would want to do that because "it wont run full speed" i kno exo can make a great emu possible as well as strmnnrmn. it would be awsome if they could work together.. or at least talk about it.. i want to know strmnnrmns perspective of the nds test experiment emu. i doubt he would go crazy saying this is crap and it wtf is the point of this. hes always on the possitive side

that could be the main control area were you put which ds or gameboy advance game you want to run including in that menu would be game save state with controls and select and reload game then when you press load game it will go to firmware.bin which is the ds's main menu

August 13th, 2007, 01:01

xg917
August 13th, 2007, 05:30
@beelzebub06660: thank you so much for contributing your time for testing :) pretty long list if you ask me. how did you get the framerate to show up? mine doesnt show it..

@mike: u got the right idea :D

@acn: well as you can see, there are panels at the top and bottom. now what we can do is use your idea to get to the menu of the emulator (holding L and R for a quick 5 seconds) and the pannels will show up and the screen sizes of the game will be alittle smaller as you see in the picture. then you can navigate through the options using the dpad and select with O (or X.. how ever the coder designs the input). saves would be a list of all your saved games and 2 other options: save state and load state. Game would get you back in the game. pictochat wouldnt be there.. lol, controls should be integrated into the preferences so i would change one of the panels to Cheats :D at the top you see 2 panels, one would say the name of the game that is currently running and i would say that the other one would be selected to restart rom, load new rom, or exit emulator. and lastly. you see the 2 DS screens. you can select one of those screens to set it full screen or what ever other scale available so you only see which ever screen you choose (for games that require only one main screen like mario 64 ds and pokemon diamond/pearl for example). if you select the game panel it shows both screens again on your psp.

i kno its a long read but what do you think? kinda sloppy huh..
it most likely wont happen but we can always fantasize :p

If there was it wasn't by the same person. In light of that, number of games playable: zero, because there's no input.

Just getting to a title screen doesn't say a lot about compatibility, I bet a lot of those games don't play correctly afterwards... you're going to have to redo everything next time and once you can get past the title screen it'll take probably several minutes to even get anywhere ingame, if you can even manage to play the games at all at such low frame rate (ignoring lack of touchscreen input)

So you'd may as well at least wait for something that emulates input enough.

if it loads commercial games then it is cool!!
if The ds mods can't even do this!!!! does it do homebrew???
EDIT: oops. it does!

You never specified "it" but I'm thinking its to the homebrew question... but your wrong with the other part about the DS mods actually, theres plenty of things to do it with.

And I'm also surprised that no one has mentioned the only reason the N64 was capable of being emulated was because the PSP's and N64 CPU had a similar achitecture. You'll also have to think you'll be emulating a ~67 Mhz ARM9 CPU and a ~33 Mhz ARM7 CPU with a 333Mhz (MIPS?) CPU.

Then another thing is the available RAM in the PSP, its 32 MB, right? You might be able to load a 64 MB game but at one point or the other it will crash if its loaded into the RAM ( Doesn't loading it into the RAM provides a framerate increase due to faster reading/loading times?)

It is possible but not quite practical, it might run some full 2D games well enough, such as Pheonix Wright, but I seriously doubt it will ever be able to run 3D with full speed....

If I'm wrong I'll gladly eat my words.... I never thought near fullspeed emulation of the Genesis was possible on the DS, but now there jEnesis..

Edit: I'm a little late lol and I would test this if I could get my memory stick....

Oh just a small note. I recomend you update your list to take into account if the rom is U/E/J/Other. As games do sometimes tend to differ in another regions version which results in one region compatible in an emulator and another not.

Simple DS Series Vol.18: The Soukou Kihei Gun Ground (J) - loads

Its a nice old school 2d scroller that will probably be one of the potential playable games att acceptable speed in the future since it doesn't make use of all the DS bells and whistles http://www.d3p.co.jp/s_ds/s_ds_018.html

us ds lite users should have a psp emu who cares how slow
if the psp can barely emulate ds, what makes you think the ds can emulate the psp when it is 3-4 times more powerful, thats like saying ps1 should emulate xbox

Although I don't condone forum members calling each othr idiots, I have to admit he does make a very good point.

If you take a look at emulation in general some pretty amazing (and seemingly) impossible things have happened. Its not just PSP emulation either.

To the people who says stuff like 'DS emulation will never be possible on the PSP' well lots of people said the same about FFX never being able to run full speed on an emulator around the first release of PCSX2 and what happened next?

The point I'm trying to make is don't always assume that because the author/s of the emulator say it ain't possible it will never happen. Trust me I've heard it lots of times and seen the results afterwards.

does this use hardware emulation or soft?

Sektor

It uses a software renderer and SDL instead of direct videoGL. The PSP doesn't have 2D accelerating hardware like the DS, no tile mode to speed things up, so it has emulate the 2D hardware entirely in software. The 3D hardware could probably be used for something but at the moment even 2D games are extremely slow and disabling the draw function completely only speeds it up a few FPS (that's with no video output, it's still being calculated though). The emulator was just a quick port and hasn't been optimized for the PSP.

Um...I about to buy a psp, so just a question...
does diamond/pearl run smoothly on the psp?
Oh forget that sry...
SO my next question is why is the game on the list if it cant load?

Sektor
March 28th, 2008, 03:10
It's red to show that it doesn't load, so you don't waste your time testing it. Nothing runs smoothly and Diamond/Pearl don't even load.

If there ever is DS emulation on the PSP it will owe little or more likely nothing to this.
A quick port of an early-stages PC emulator to the PSP really means nothing.
Its actually writing the emulator and/or optimising and debugging the thing for a new platform that is so difficult and time consuming.


Please don't think of this as comparable to most emulators for the PSP as it will give you a bad impression of the homebrew scene.

There are many high quality emulators with authors who really put huge amounts of effort into them.
GPsp, Picodrive, PSP2600 and many many others are all brilliant emulators of their respective systems.
Deadalus is still a work in progress but even so it still shows a huge amount of work and cannot be compared to a quick port like this.

This emu was a 'test', not a real project.

Does Pokemon Platinum load?
I really only downloaded the emulator to play Pokemon games lol

Sektor

No and nothing runs at a even a 1/5 of fullspeed. Give up until someone skilled gets around to updating it.

Wonder when someone is going to try improve the emulator?

It's called a "proof of concept." It wasn't MEANT to be playable. It wasn't made to be useful. It was simply made to say "hey guys look at this cool thing" and nothing else. Don't count on anyone updating it to the point of usability.

This is a compatibility list for the DeSmuME Emulator correct? If so, Final Fantasy III does not load. Is there something that must be changed in options to do so?

I get the famous Unable to Access Back-up Memory.

This is just for the PSP version of DeSmuME. The topic should be renamed to say that but it is in the PSP section.


how do you download it

You can download DeSmuME PSP from this thread (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=71040) but I wouldn't bother, it's too slow to play any games and the compatibility is low.
