Amazing.. This will be one hell of an emulator someday! The only problem I've been having is that aside from some menu bugs.. this emulator has a tendency to quit back to the xmb menu. I'm glad someone has finally picked up mame emulation on the PSP. :thumbup:

P.S.- change the default speed to 333Mhz and TMNT is playable with sound!

Nice this will give me something to do this weekend other than playing Call Of Duty 4 online and Mario Galaxy.

I'll be testing this baby out after work. ...before I get on it though can anbody confirm (on a phat psp) if:

Rodland now works with sound?
Pacland has sound?
Rolling Thunder now lets you insert credits to go in game?
How is the speed of shinobi and eswat?
Tumblepop has sound in-game?
If TMNT works with sound on a phat psp?

Thanks in advance.

Well it's gettin late where I'm at and I have to get up early in the morning so I can confirm one thing..

TMNT works with sound and at 333Mhz is actualy playable! :thumbup: ( This is on a Phat PSP )

I'll try to answer some of your other questions later.. Good Night..

HEY Zombo COULD YOU PLEASE ASK TTYman TO MAKE THE START BUTTON BOTH START GAME AND PAUSE! BECAUSE I HAVE AN MAME ARCADE CABINET AND I SET THE START BUTTON TO BE THE PAUSE BUTTON TOO. or allow us to assign the buttons. because holding the two shoulder buttons and having the screen go black with a message is VERY annoying.


"go team venture!"

Baboon I can confirm that Rolling Thunder finally lets you insert credits (As long as insert them during the startup and not during the title menu)

Ideal thanks for the reply. :thumbup:

I really hope Rodland works with sound this time round?

TTYman is on a roll currently with this emulator - churning out releases once a month.

I love this emulator, seriously, but to make it work, with his proper ROMs is a pain in the ass. :-\

[Trekster]

Why bitch about the roms?? This has been a prob for 10 years now. It's just part of how it works when MAME is updated. It would be nice to have a link to current roms and sample with each build though. I really like thelink to the samples from this release.

Thanks TTYman you are Da Man,,, unless you are a woman

Just installed it, been waiting for the DIP switch settings..

But alas I have lost my menu background. Anyone know why this has happened?
