Monkey 64 v1.0 - First Release (Nintendo 64 Emulator for PSP)

[wraggster]

PSMonkey has released the first version of his Nintendo 64 Emulator for the PSP, this release has support somewhat for the Commercial game Mortal Kombat Trillogy and whilst it wont play most of the Nintendo 64 Library it is a big step in the right direction, heres the news from his site:

The Emulator also works on any version from v1.0 to v2.6 from reports





<blockquote>Well sorry I am late but here is the much promissed first release of monkey64. I was hopping for better at the last min but it still passed my exspectations for a first build.

Few things to note.

.) While Rsp & Rdp emulation is started it is far from complete. As well there are still numerious issues in the main cpu core. I plan to fix things as soon as I can get to them.
.) This wont run mario64 or 99% of the n64 library. Some roms are starting to do things with Mortal Kombat Trillogy actualy being playable (to some extent).
.) I know there are odd looking color squares when running some comercial roms (like mortal kombat). The reason is because I have not completed texture suport in rdp. I am hoping to get a revision out asap once this is fixed.
.) The emulator is slow. Some PD roms do a pretty nice framerate but games like mortal kombat do about 5fps. This is due to the emulator still being on a pure interpreter core. In good time I will build a dynamic recompiler so we can get some more playable framerates.
.) The app is in user mode. So it is quite posible this works on 2.0+ psp units. I just sadly dont have the time to check.

Well that is it. Do enjoy. The zip contains a few favorite PD roms. Pong by Oman is a must play imo. Also if you're all currious what mortal kombat trillogy looks like in game. Please see attached screenshot on forums.

PS. Mortal Kombat Trillogy [!] dump wont work. [b1] dump runs just fine. When you see the second screen, press start as it's just warning you that there is only 1 controller plugged in.

-- EDIT --
Hey guys. Sorry I forgot to mention. The screen flickering is because its not doing double buffering on the psp. It's just directly rendering to the display screen. I was trying to fix this at lunch but ran into problems so I gave up since I wanted to push the build out asap. I'll have it fixed for the v1.1 build.</blockquote>

Mortal Kombat Trilogy (U) (V1.0) [b1] - Displays menus - no graphics yet.
Doom 64 (U) [!] - Displays menus - no graphics yet.

Looks fab !

Cant wait to try it when I get home tonight....

Mortal Kombat looks better than you described it (think I can make out Scorpion in that screenshot....maybe not)

Thanks and congrats on this milestone build !

[Sharkey]

Awesome, you just gave me something to do, a big hearty congrats on the release.

[LazerTag]

Yep can't wait to try it later.

amazing work.

[YourStillWithMe]

I would just like to say "thank you" on behalf of everyone here involved in the psp scene, (i'm sure everyone will agree with my statement.) you have taken the initiative to create something that no one thought would be possible. I have the upmost respect for you. It sort of reminds me of when Abraham Lincoln wrote the Proclamation to free the slaves. No one else thought that his idea of doing that would benefit them but he did what he thought was right and went and did what he had to do, thus making certain things in the future possible and easier as you have done psmonkey with N64 emulation.

Thank You!

When Smash, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, or Mario Kart gets running I will be more than glad to download your wonderful program. I wish you the best of luck!

P.S-I think that due to the many opinions about controls for the emulator you should make it so we could customize them!

[Mr Mushrooms]

Good job my friend, allow me to offer my congratulations. Can't wait for further updates.

[Corona]

I wish you would dump this project and spend all your free time on Iris.
Iris rocks the pants.

Mortal Kombat works like a charm bro. Thanks for the release!

[aries2k4]
