The 140b file is for 1.50 systems. I noticed something was missing in the original post, so I did a translation of the release notes:

Does DGEN work with 2.0 because I know more people with 2.0 than 1.5. Also, does the adhoc work with 2.0 and how good is it?

[kyle2194]

adhoc does not work in 2.0, but why not get them to downgrade?

[pkmaximum]

hmm so is this ad hoc mode like better than the other release. As what I mean do you still have to look over your friends sholder to play multiplayer. and just use the other PSP as a blank screened contoller :(.

[Cloud_35]

OOOOOOH MAN!!! I read this just after i installed it!!!! Any way...

[Cloud_35]

Oh, i forgot this. I saw the The link in Kaiser's post, and it's simply frightening. Go ahead! see it.

[pkmaximum]

can someone just answer my previous question please :)

[w0lv3121n3]

Since the previous versions workes with firmware 2.60 with Gta, will this work with 2.60 too?

[Shannon]

Adhoc as in two people with a PSP can play against eachother looking at their own seperate PSP screens.

:rolleyes:

[PsychoSync]

Thanks again b8a for your translation.

Hey everyone, I'm using Fw 1.5 and I'm having issues with DGen freezing up (both the 1.3 and 1.4 ver). Sometimes it just freezes the rom (and I can load a diff'rent rom), and sometimes it freezes the PSP. Dgen loads just fine like it always has. I recetly downgraded from 2.0 due to issues with compatability. Is anyone else having these problems. The roms worked fine before I downgraded. Help is appreciated.

[sebwanna]

thankyou very much for this. ive been looking for long time googles init lmao, yeah taaa cery much!

[loredan]

Hey everyone I just downloaded and installed dgen 1.40 on my ver 2.6 psp and tried to load it up with the gta exploit and after i start it my psp just turns off but i ran the older versions with success any pointers?

[kayhanbakid]

i read the adhoc readme and it' s kinda wierd. it says something like charging your psp while playing adhoc wont work and you can only charge your battery after removing it for a while. i may have read it wrong but it sounds kind of scary to me.

if the adhoc works well this would be huge news. this is actually a huge systems with some great mulatiplayer games. but i'm a little scared to try it until i hear how it works.

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

fkin awsome great to wake up to. Nursing a hangover lol

[totoff28]

i have tested the emu.. ;)
i work great :D
but games are not working :(

exemple : outrunners : graphical bug
and dinoland my prefered pinball games : not show flip and other

thanks bye

Ps: i'm french emul lover, excusse for my bad english :o

Contra Hard Corps doesn't seem to start, but Gunstar runs better than ever, a whole lot of graphical glitches have been fixed and it sounds like the sound has been improved.

[D0N]

WOW! Now this is what i like to see :D Keep up the good work man!

[SSaxdude]

There are some issues with this emulator, like how Sonic 2 runs extremely slow in Act 2 of the second world. Maybe it might work with a Japanese version of the game. If you have problems with it locking up then the rom probably isn't compatable with DGEN or the rom is in an uncompatable format. Anyway, syn-z is awesome for this!

[pkmaximum]

I know this is off topic but for some reason I can't start a new thread and I don't know why. at www.pspupdates.com the new nesterj emulator came out and I'm pretty convinced this is not an aprils fools joke. its nerterj v1.2 alpha release. There is still apparently a lot of bugs in the wifi mode for ad hoc but it has ad hoc. This is the era where all my favorite emulators start to have ad hoc mode. Can't wait for snes too.

P.S. I love the DGEN ad hoc mode too. Works great. Hope to eventually see infastrucutre mode if its possible but ad hoc is really all I need. :)

[D0N]

I just tried this now and it doesnt seem to work on v2.60

[Eleetist]

The roms are in zip format, Contra I mean. Too bad, I was really looking forward to playing that. But still, great emu and great work, keep it up :)

[pkmaximum]

Here is the nes emulator that supports ad hoc mode.

Wierd. I can get Contra working (UK version called Probotector, although graphics are messed-up) but Gunstar just blacks-out after the selection screens. Which region is your rom?

[bah]

Is this release working for anyone under 2.0 via the tiff eloader (Bière d'Alsace)?
I get a hard path warning, and continuing just goes to a black screen and the psp shuts off.

Cheers

[pkmaximum]

did anybody try the nes emulator I swear to god its not an april fools prank. Just try it out you will see.

[IndianCheese]

I wonder if he will ever get an Infrastructure server set up...that would be AWESOME!!!!! Of course, there would have to be some sort of check to make sure it is the EXACT same rom.

To the people asking about 2.00+: NO. 2.00+ does not support Ad Hoc. At all.

[Damian666]

I just recieved Fanjita's newest eloader "Super Bach" and this emulator doesn't work. Great update though, thanx Syn-z!!!

[Eleetist]

Wierd. I can get Contra working (UK version called Probotector, although graphics are messed-up) but Gunstar just blacks-out after the selection screens. Which region is your rom?

How do you find out a ROM's region? If you mean the language my Gunstar is English. I'll try and find your Contra and see if it works, thanks.

[pkmaximum]

well i hope some of you tried the nes emulator i posted back on page 3 because its real and I have been having loads of fun playing super mario 2 player :) you guys should try it out because wragster for some reason did not post it here.

[Eleetist]

Just tried Probotector, but can't get past the first level because of the graphical glitches. Too bad, but still, I can't put into words how much I appreciate the coder's work, this is one of the most polished emus out there and getting better with every release.

[chaos-is-me]

Ergh, Can't get this to work on my 2.6 psp using the newest eloader. Tried using older versions and now they won't work either even though I was playing Sonic fine about an hour ago on the older Dgen.. Anybody know if this is the new eloader or dgen or is it just me?

[ThOrGaLSuGo]

I had to change folders names to make it works on my 1.5...
Just turn
DGEN____________________________
DGEN__~1%

to
DGEN
DGEN%

[SSaxdude]

I didn't have to change the folder names to work on my 1.5. I guess syn-z made the folders like that to hide the corrupted icon. Some things don't work when you do that.

[John Vattic]

Yeah has anyone tried this nesterj? I want a second opinion. :confused:

I love this new dgen. :cool:

now is the time for psp homebrew polishing.

first sms, then dgen, then nesterj, and soon snes.

MUCH! Respect! to all psp coders who help make psp the best handheld ever.

[IndianCheese]

Well, the WiFi is great. At first there was no lag or loss of sync, but then the sync appeared to become confuzzled. A while after, there was no sync loss anymore. However, there are two bugs I must inform you of: for some reason, my sister's PSP would automatically go into suspend when "Connect..." was displayed, and on coming out of suspend, it shuts off the WiFi. Also, when using WiFi, exiting a ROM and choosing another, the PSP goes straight to the Initializing Data screen.

[jessman]

Darnit. 1.30 works on 2.6 but not 1.40! That's crap! Will is ever work?

[PSP mega drive II]

Alright A Close Anuf Decent Megadrive Emu! Rok On!

[PSP mega drive II]

I think in the next update or atleast in DGEN 2.00 they should have Sega 32x Game input or sumthin....I REALLY WANNA PLAY SPACE HARRIER 32X AND KNUCKLES CHAOTIX! :D :D :D

[djhalo]

where do you get the older versions

[Ragone]

NBA Jam/NBA Jam TE's controls aren't responsive, can't move the dpad or stick at all.
Most EA games, such as Road Rash and Skitchin have graphical bugs, and have no sound.
There's a few other games that don't boot.

[rbervoets]

does this work with e-boot loader

[shuaib]

CAN SOME 1 TELL WERE TO PUT ALL THE DGEN FOLDERS mine dont work PLZPLplPLZ

[Jay_PSP]

Anyone have 1.3 or 1.4 running on FW 2.0?

[core858]

does it work with the gta eloader for 2.5 systems?

[pkmaximum]

I feel bad for all you 2.1+ users

[SuNnY_B]

With the adhoc, in some games this does go out of sync. It doesnt make much difference on sonic but definately does on games like Mega Bomberman bcoz your character can die on the other persons PSP wen really u r still playin and then the whole game gets recked because then the CPU players start doin different stuff on each screen.

Also if you want to reload the rom or load another game, when u do tht about 3 times you get connection errors so u might as well switch off and start all over again. These are the only problems I found, apart from that its fun!

[vettacossx]

hey where the rest of the dgen downloads only 0.70 will work on 2.6 and you have to place the roms in the same folder as the eboot and even more than that the roms you put there have to be un-zipped!!! when will we see a less difficult dgen to assemble for the 2.6 mine currently works fine but i find myself answering like 20 mails a day about this emulator.....its not that i mi9nd helping other users its more the fact that this is the single most difficult emu for a newb to install....and it would just be easyer over all if this lil prob of not being able to place your roms in a folder named roms like the other vs...and having to have them unzipped....it seems so un-neccesary...do u plan to change this in the future so that ppl stop thinking its fake or does not work....ppl dont beleave me when i tell them that if you assemble it right it will work because not to be mean to anyone whos mailed me for help.....but they r simply not smart enough to assemble it in some cases.....

[vettacossx]

if yuo are a 2.01...2.5....2.6....user mail me ill send you a copy of the dgen that DOES work on your psp...vs 0.70 check this list to see all the things tested that do work on your psp!! http://www.fanjita.org/content/psp_working.html you will see dgen with a smiley face next to it and the version that fanjita has tested for your psp!! anything on the list with a y.....works!!

[grin.ch]
