I'm working with TMK's pspMAME....

[MikeDX]

Ok folks, here's the deal

I've taken TMK's pspmame, and i've started taking it to pieces. so far it runs the following games:

Pacman
Flicky
Track&Field
Galaxian

What I want to achieve with this is to release a version of MAME on the PSP with just the *cream* of old titles (roms not included)

So, let me know what games you want to see in there! I'm only going to include games that fall into bth of these categories:

1. They must run FULL SPEED (zero frameskip) on the psp
2. They must not have been released within the past 10 years.

Oh and it works great on 2.01 ;)

could u put in:
Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n World please?

uh. your funny.

anyway are cps1 games a possibility?

[MikeDX]

Time will tell if CPS1 games are possible.. I'm not having much luck with double dragon right now :(

Saying that.. if we get CPS1... we get CPS2!

[huck500]

Super Basketball

[The 80s Man]

Please, please, please, include Disks of Tron.

[Psphreak]

Ms Pacman

[MikeDX]

Do you think DOT will be playable on the psp?? I guess shoulder buttons for aim.. analogue stick to move tron.. it could work

[Cap'n 1time]

Time will tell if CPS1 games are possible.. I'm not having much luck with double dragon right now :(

Saying that.. if we get CPS1... we get CPS2!

exciting news! CPS2 is second only to the neogeo as far as 90's era arcade games go :p

[philage]

Awsome news !!! :) Best of luck with your project, I would like to see the following included if possible, any of them a bonus though...

Galaxians
Galaga

Tbh, my request list could go on for a while, i think i best stop there :eek:

Again, good luck dude, and thanks for the update.

[bah]

Mr Do., Sinistar, Smash TV, Galaga or Time pilot
:D
Many thanks to MikeDX

EDIT: Goto add Sonic the Hedgehog arcade to that list, though im not sure how the controlls would be as it was a trackball game.

[MikeDX]

Quick update before I hit the sack. Double Dragn 1 + 2 are running WAY too slowly to even consider.

On the plus side, robotron runs about 90% speed with sound!

[Cap'n 1time]

good enough. Do you forsee any possibility of DD ever running at a reasonable speed? perhapes with a new port?

[RCON]

MikeDX, good luck with all of this! This make a lot of people pretty happy!!!

oh and I would add tron, disc of tron, galaga and starwars ;)

[danzivar]

hi

Mike DX please don't leave out wonderboy :D (original)
im only intrested in the 80's to 90's games and this one is a must.
it would sit nicely alongside ghosts n goblins ,rygar , blacktiger ect.
i hope you can facilitate

best of luck :D

[PSmonkey]

I have only 1 request.

Frogger (Sega Ver).
:D

[RyFeR]

Please put in my old-time-favorite Outzone (set 1, (c) 1990 by Toaplan)!! :D

Don't think my PSP will be turned off then the next couple of months :rolleyes:

Thx for your port i waiting since a long time for a real mame for PSP !!!

:D

[Tjeuken]

Wonderboy!

[odino]

Hi MikeDX, please to look this source:

http://www.talfi.net/gp32_franxis/


The first version run fine with only 32 mb of ram... Is it useful for you?

Anyway, you can use the motorola 68000 and z80 core of neocdpsp, right?

[dpathic2001]

Excellent news man, been waiting for MAME optimization for long time, would really like to see;

Bubble Bobble
Shinobi
Phoenix
Star Wars (1983 Vector) :)

[Malatesta]

I'm very happy because the mame project it is alive :)

Two games, I think that they don't are requested:

Crazy Climber
Ghost and goblins


thanks

[EnderPSP]

Twin Cobra
Bubble Bobble

Mame is the game... :)
Thanks, can't wait to see and play this!

[bfg]

Exerion would be great !!

[O-bake]

Yes, i would also hint on the MAME version for the GP32/GP2X by Franxis.
It runs very many games and is clear open source. At least the Cores could be useful to you.

Thanks for working on MAME :)

[MikeDX]

Ok, an update.

Games that work 100% so far:

Pacman
Galaxian
Track&Field
Flicky

Games that are too slow to be included or crash

The simpsons (out of memory)
TMNT - (out of memory)
Double Dragon 1+ 2 - 12fps! way too slow.

Once I have a nice base set of games, I'll work on some optimisations and possible working backwards to something similar to the gp2x version of mame which seems to have way less overheads. I already have some ideas for the interface.

[mutantllama]

Just one more request to add to my wish list (on the other forum thread from the front page):
Super Locomotive, a fabulously colourful, early Sega game, featuring music from YMO.

7-8 years ago I was creating post after post on a top Mame forum, trying to bring this game to the attention of the Mame dev team, history really does repeat itself!!! :eek:

[MikeDX]

Then you will be very pleased to hear that Super Locomotive will work 100% in this new MAME release :)

[ldaneels]

Hmm, the following would be nice (especially Karnov):
Amidar
Arkanoid Revenge of Doh
Bagman
Bubble Memories
Donkey Kong
Forgotten Worlds
Galaga
any Gals Panic
Ghosts 'n' Goblins
Karnov (not the neogeo one)
Klax
Kung-Fu Master
New Zealand Story
Outrun
Puchi Carat
any R-Type
any Raiden
Rainbow Islands
Shinobi
Slap Fight
Solomon's Key
Speedball
Strider
Tempest
Twin Qix
Wardner
Willow

[k3n]

I would like to see the following:
Mappy
Donkey Kong Jr.
Centipede
Space Invaders
Asteroids
Tempest
Defender
Time Pilot
Popeye
Super Pac-man
Ms. Pacman
Trog (if possible)
Joust
Yie Ar Kung Fu


**Thank you for taking Mame to the next level**

- Saturday Night Slam Masters
- X-Men
- Alien Vs. Predator
- Street Fighter (1st one)

[benn]

its all good Mikey but where is the link to the dl? you better not be screwing with us man.
i was so excited when i read your post but i wanna see some proof.

outrun, ghost n goblins, rampage, etc.

here are a few titles that i did not seen mentioned on the list:
2 bad dudes vs Dragon Ninja
Space Harrier
Donkey Kong
Dragons Lair
Operation Wolf

keep it real Mikey

[BazzaLB]

I only have one desire

ELEVATOR ACTION!

(please :) )

[MikeDX]

its all good Mikey but where is the link to the dl? you better not be screwing with us man.


Eggman has been testing my efforts, I'm 100% certain he can vouch for me :)

I've got a coy of TMK's excel spreadsheet which gives us some details about what does and does not run in his version of mame, and proceeding from there. Soon we will have a version of mame that supports a handful of nice games that run full speed or very near!

The bigger task for me is to move TMK's code to the newer pspsdk to take advantage of any newer features..

[OopFjord]

I've posted a few, but have to agree.. QIX would be fantastic!
Thanks! Sounds like great work you're doing...

[MikeDX]

I'm about to test QIX... if it works I will try and post a screenshot :)

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

I can asure you 100% this is not a hoax like mike DX has kindly let me beta test his work so far and i am pleased with the results.The games so far emulated run pretty much at full speed with little or no glitches.This is going to be a great piece of work when released to the comunity and Mike DX deserves all the support he can get for his time and effort.

[MikeDX]

QIX ran very slowly :( I think its because it is bitmap based and not tile based :(

but still, we added frogger and arkanoid tonight. That's good progress!

[MikeDX]

Final update for tonight

The list of working games is as follows:

Ms Pac-man
Scramble
Amidar
Puckman
Galaxian
Track & Field
Flicky
Wonder Boy
Arkanoid
Frogger
Mario Bros.
Bagman

ALL of these games work great (including sounds) pac/ms pac have a minor issue causing them to run at 50fps instead of 61... strange

Thanks to Eggman for helping me test!

[Cap'n 1time]

GALAGA! GRAAAAAAAAH :p

[xypex982]

Hmmm ten years...well this is about to be 10yrs old on may 26, it's metal slug think it's possible?

[Cap'n 1time]

il answere that. hell no.

the only way your going to get to see metal slug on psp is via NeoGeoCD emulator. It cant be done due to lack of ram... but the neogeoCD files are streamed.

[Knyte]

All, I ask for is emu for CPS1/2 games, and I could die a happy man!

More realistically at this point, I would like to see:

Star Wars
Pole Position
Dig Dug
Tapper
-and-
Gauntlet

Best of luck on your project, Master Mike!

[demetris]

Hello,
It's nice to see someone working on a psp mame version finally!
Keep up the good work.
You didnt answer in the post regarding the use of http://www.talfi.net/gp32_franxis/
code usage. Can you use the code?Or you have to re-invent the wheel from the start again?
it would be ideal to have a punch start with that miracle code.
Some games i would like to see are the following:
City connection
Solomons key
Pengo
Wonderboy series
xained sleenna
Contra
Tehkan World Cup
The New Zealand Story
Toki
Cabal
Green Beret
Gals Panic
Pang
And of cource a dat file will be much apriciated so we can use it to get the full set for the psp from our current mame roms.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[oninotsume]

Hi Mike,

I already posted which games I would like to see on your version of MAME in a different threat, but this one seems to be more active, so I'll post again.

1. CPS1 and CPS2 games (Final Fight, Ghouls and Ghosts, etc.)
2. Konami Games (Simpsons, TMNT, etc.)
3. System 16 Games (Outrun, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, etc.)

I noticed that you said The Simpsons ran out of memory, which I was expecting to hear. Since you are a programmer you are probably familiar with the Neo4All MVS program. This program allows massive NeoGeo games to be streamed through the DC's small ram by using a technique to pre-fetch the required data for the upcoming portion of the game on the fly. Apparently a similar version has already been released for the GPX. Do you think the inclusion of this system could help deal with larger games?

It seems that almost everyone here wants CPS1 and/or CPS2 emulation. If you are thinking about including this in your MAME have you thought about perhaps working from the Final Burn program? It runs both CPS1/2 and System 16 games, so you could kill two birds with one stone.

Like I said in my previous post, I would be in heaven if you were somehow able to emulate the games in my list, but in any case it's great to hear that someone is seriously taking up MAME again.

Good Luck

[MikeDX]

To answer the questions about the Franxis port - he has given me persmission to use it for whatever i like. sadly the psp and gp2x are different architectures, but I'm sure his code can be useful to me :)

Thank you all for your support in this!

[NovaKane]

Oh crap, how could I forget about...MJ's MoonWalker. That game pwnd. That we need too.

Keep up the good work MikeDX.

[oninotsume]

Is MikeDX going to get his own page here at DCEmu, or stickied? A working port of MAME to the PSP is such a huge announcement. I can imagine many people will want to keep abreast of the development.

Yeah, I hope that Franxis port is able to provide you with some information. I checked out his page and his version of MAME for the GPX2 already supports over 1,000 games!

Good luck MikeDX!

[benn]

@NovaKane - lmao. man i think we need to stop with the suggestions now. Moonwalker!??! :)

@oninotsume - MikeDX will probably get his own page here when he presents a proof of concept. so far we just have a long discussion with no end result. i know that eggman vouches for how cool it is but personally i want to actually have a go on my own psp. whilst i truly hope that this is all true, so far there have been no videos or even screenshots. also the MAME build currently supports several titles at playable levels - so why not release it? i dont understand... Mike?

[oninotsume]

Benn,

Yes of course I was thinking of the future development of PSP MAME when there is actually something to make a page with.

MikeDX sounds real, but man if he isn't I swear I will cry.

[blou]

MikeDX, about cps1 games , think that you can port this to psp?, and cps2?
sorry for my bad english.

any new about the progress?, screenshots, video?

[odino]

To answer the questions about the Franxis port - he has given me persmission to use it for whatever i like. sadly the psp and gp2x are different architectures, but I'm sure his code can be useful to me :)

Thank you all for your support in this!


Good! Also the dreamcast MAME4ALL is based on MAME GP2X. :)

http://chui.dcemu.co.uk/mame4all.html

[MikeDX]

Time will tell if I am "for real" or not.. But I've been writing and been involved in emulators for the past 7 years as an author and 10 years as a player..

Search wikipedia for EmuDX

[oninotsume]

Wow! I see your EmuDX played several games very close to my heart :D
Good stuff. This has made me even more excited for your MAME release.
Keep it up!

[mutantllama]

Then you will be very pleased to hear that Super Locomotive will work 100% in this new MAME release :)

Mike, you really is the man!!!! :D
Seriously, can't wait to see this, any idea when we will see the first release of your MAME?

[Cap'n 1time]

any recent updates for the news? :)

[MikeDX]

I've been quite ill the past couple f days, so nothing to report.

If anybody wants to help with my website then please get in touch! It will be

http://dxdev.dcemu.co.uk

[mutantllama]

Search wikipedia for EmuDX
Fantastic, now I know this project is in good hands. I remember when EmuDX was first released, that was amazing. If you do the same great work on this that you did back then, everyone will want to buy you a pint ;)

[MikeDX]

Updated list

Ms Pac-man
Scramble
Amidar
Puckman
Galaxian
Track & Field
Flicky
Wonder Boy
Arkanoid
Frogger
Mario Bros.
Bagman
Space Invaders
Bomb Jack
Mr Do!
Ladybug.

Every game in this list is full or near full speed with sound apart from space invaders, which I have not tested samples with.

Looking good though. Brings our total to 16 if i have counted correctly!

[MikeDX]

Ok, two more just added:

Mikie
Shao-Lin's Road

Again these seem to be working fine.

[blou]

good news!! , the list of games grows. MikeDX, what about cps1 and cps2 games, is possible to do soon? or is very complicated.

[MikeDX]

Last update for today.

Defender
Joust
Robotron

Not quite full speed yet but I've got a few ideas... I'm sure eggman will let me know hw he gets on.

[Cap'n 1time]

cant wait for a release :)

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Hi guyz just a quick post will be working my way thru the newly emulated roms today and giving MikeDx a bug and progress report early tests are fantastic with some great frame rates of 60fps on most of the emulated games.

[Cap'n 1time]

keep us up to date you two. :)

[oninotsume]

It's great to hear that the list is growing...ah to dream of CPS and System-16 on the PSP...ahhh to dream...

[danzivar]

do you think pacland (bally/midway ver is coolest looks more like the cartoon) may be a possibility to get working on the list mike? :confused:

i hope so :D

keep up the good work :D

[cyclonus002]

Cruisin USA ...get the hell out of here...can't you people just be happy with what there is...give the guy a break...

[oninotsume]

I agree that Cruising USA is just way beyond the realm of possibility. Perhaps that will have a better chance of working on Monkey's N64 emu?

Instead of Cruising USA how about Outrun? After all Cruising USA is just a rip off of Outrun when it comes down to it.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for CPS1 and System16 emulation. If CPS2 is ever possible then I'll welcome that as well :D

In any case simply to have someone dedicated to brining MAME to the PSP is just F'n awesome!

[jeffred]

Brilliant working list of games so far.........Keep up the excellent work Mike

[LazerTag]

I did breeze through all the pages of this thread and didn't see it off hand, so I apologize if this had already been asked and I missed it.


Is it still going to use the .97 core?


No or Yes, is there a way to generate a DAT file for use with CLRMAMEPro from this actual PSP version?

I guess if not the .97 MAME windows version EXE could be used to build the DAT?

Thank you for undertaking this task of updating MAME for the PSP community too. Watching the GP version come out with new releases was making me green. I do some VB, Perl, and CGI programming and had once planned to attack MAME on the PSP, but found it way beyond my programming skills. I applaud your efforts. ;)

[MikeDX]

I don't know the deal with DAT files - HOWEVER I am good friends with LogiqX, so when the time comes, it will be fine ;)

[Cap'n 1time]

Its a little early to be asking maybe... but have you thought about an official name for the emulator?

[Computer Head]

Heres my list of arcade classics

[LazerTag]

I don't know the deal with DAT files - HOWEVER I am good friends with LogiqX, so when the time comes, it will be fine ;)


Very cool.


BTW, Is it still going to be based on the .97 core?

[Cap'n 1time]

I've not had any ideas about names yet.. I'm open to suggestions though. Are there any Japanese people on here that could translate some bits of text for me?

You might be better off looking for Japanese translators at ps2dev.
I see nothing wrong with pspMAME-DX.

[odino]

pMAMEp-DX... :p

[Carnevil]

I would love to see Mat Mania and Zoo Keeper. Also, Punch Out and Super Punchout if possible.

[MikeDX]

It is never going to be called anything with MAME-DX in the title :P

Yes it is still based on the .97 core ( for now at least ).

matmania.. zookeeper and Punchout:

Punchout is unlikely.
Zookeeper is possible
MatMania is Likely!

[Cap'n 1time]

How about psp-ULTRAMAMEULATOR 5000 & 1/2 ?

[mutantllama]

For the name suggestions, how about 'MAME yourself!'? :)

[blou]

MikeDX do you like this Background?

so.. MAME-PSP ?

[MikeDX]

Is Japanese nationality a requirement? (!_!) If not, I've worked as an English/Japanese interpreter/translator and would be happy to help out.

Hi B8a!

There are small bits of japanese text that need translating. I've managed to so about 50% of them so far but some are a little vague, and often these are source comments. I think I have found a way to use google translator to translate the text now though using UTF-8 converter.

But thanks for the offer!

[b8a]

The offer stands. Drop me a line if you run accross something that you can't quite get your head around.

[MikeDX]

I've just added 3 more games.

JailBreak
Green Beret
MatMania

We are now at a very cool point, where there are a handful of games that work extremely well (full speed) and we know there are lots of games that run on the same hardware that will also run, so we should get loads of new games added really quickly!

[olgamal]

Here is a list that i dream to play in my psp:

1942
commandos
ghost´n goblins
ghouls´n ghost
afterburner
kung fu master
bomb jack
space harrier
out run
scramble

[blou]

I make a icon for the emu,I hope that you like.

cant say i care for that pic... how about a medley of old school arcade characters rather than the over used pacman.

[MikeDX]

Here is a list that i dream to play in my psp:

1942 *
commandos (commando??) *
ghost´n goblins *
ghouls´n ghost
afterburner
kung fu master
bomb jack *
space harrier
out run
scramble *


I've starred the ones that run nicely in my current build.

There is a complication with the games that use a 68k core.. I might have a fix for that later today after I speak to the guy who wrote the 68k core for MAME.

[MikeDX]

An update for you then.

the latest ones are:
Son Son

Hi,
great work, I can't wait to try this out.
Any chance you could include Karnov (Data East) ?
Just this one game would make my day !
Thanks & good luck

Oh yeah! Capcom games online! I sense CPS1 in the pipe sometime soon?

You said, "There is a complication with the games that use a 68k core.. I might have a fix for that later today after I speak to the guy who wrote the 68k core for MAME."

Is this refering to the Motorolla 68000?

Keep up the good work Mike. This is awesome!

[odino]

Aliens?

[blou]

one forgot to me to request... TOKI!!! ...:)

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Just finished testing the latest games on the last build I was sent a am pleased to report fantastic results.I will hopefully try to put together another video for release towards the end of the week.:)

[oninotsume]

Sorry I'm writing on here all the time, because I can't wait!

However, I wanted to know.

1. Is there a mame PSP wiki or something like that where we can look and see which games are compatible etc.?

2. I apologize if I've missed it, but I was wondering if you have made any announcements about your release plans? Meaning, what degree of compatibility are you aiming for (number of games, types of machines, etc.) before the release.

Eggman I would love to see some more videos :D

you know.. that isnt a bad idea. if DX wanted to he could probably get wraggy to setup somthing like that :)

[wraggster]

its going to happen as well ;)

[popcornx]

super puzzle fighter (if possible)
caption america (if possible)

[mutantllama]

Hi Mike, I havn't seen much mention of the vector graphic games here, certainly not in the included list, I was wondering if they will possibly appear in a later release? Also, if the lines are to small to correctly display will you be able to increase there thickness without affecting game play?
Cheers
ML

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Hey just finished putting the final touches to the latest psp mame video i have compiled.should hopefully be available to download later tonight.. :)

[Jay_PSP]

This sounds great, why not just release it as beta now I'm sure we all would love to help test it! ...

[blou]

any news about the progress? what about of motorola 68000 emulation, cps1, cps2?
sorry for my english :(

[MikeDX]

I made awesome progress on the 68k emulation, now we have 68000 and 68010 cores fully working.

Sadly until i rewrite the memory routines, CPS1 will not be running :( but Other 68000 games (such as atari tetris) work fine :)

I dont have a complete list of games, however i'm sure you will all be happy with the first teaser release that I will publish soon!

[blou]

MikeDX, will you use my icon amd background for the emu?

[MikeDX]

I will use your icon. I'm not sure about the background!

It's early days yet. Sadly I don't have lots of time to spend on it but I'm hoping that once the memory management is fixed, and we use a proper video texture for the graphics, we could have an awesome copy of MAME running on the PSP, which i'm sure is what everybody wants!

[parsifal968]

you're da man!
this is the big missing in psp emulation, a wonderful MAME port (and a VIC20 emu :) )
many many thanks for your work.

[drock82]

these are the games that redefined the arcade experience-the simpsons,pitfighter,streetfighter series,and lastly superman PLEASE GET THESE TO WORK :o

[oninotsume]

Hi Mike,

I don't know if it will be of any use to you, but you might want to check out StrmnNrmn's new N64 emulator for the PSP. In the latest edition of Daedalus PSP (r3) he implemented the ability to load large games through data streaming.

I was totally blown away by this because it seems like one of the holy grails of PSP emulation, i.e. it would help MAME and NEOGEO, but maybe it's not exactly what I'm thinking it to be.

Anyway, just in case you hadn't seen it yet I thought it might help.

It's good to hear the 68K processors are on line :D
Good luck with the rest.

Oninotsume

[stefh]

Please add full support for:
Final Fight
Sunset Riders
Final Fight
Mortal Kombat

Keep up the good work!

[Malatesta]

Thanks for your work :)

A little question about galaxian and moon cresta . In the previous pspmame of TMK was a sound-bug in these games.
The problem was that the sound of the shoots nevers ends, when the bullet is out of screen the sound continues.
Is fixed this bug ?

[MikeDX]

I've not come across this problem but then again I havent actually played lots with the sound on as I know the sound "just works" Eggman might be a better man to ask :)

[odino]

Hi, but tetris is a system 16?

Yeah, Ogre Battle is 40 MB and Daedalus load it...

[danzivar]

Hi Mike
just "wondering" :D does "wonderboy" run full speed
and good sound as this is one of the games
(my absolute favourite) i want the most on my psp :D
best of luck with this project .

you are the man :D

[MikeDX]

it's near as dammit full speed yes. Wonderboy is one of my favourite arcade games. It may drop 1 or 2 frames out of 60, so on fskip 1 it is just lovely :)

[dkainer]

Ah, the thought of a quick bash on the train (and NOT me bishop) during my journey to and from work with all these old school games has a brought a huge measure of delight to my face :D

Your emu truelly will be my emu of choice.
Believe it or not I'm looking forward to this so much more than Daedalus, which I anticipate will take some time to get up to full speed.

Go Mike-ee, we'll love you forever... Or a long time at least :p

[blou]

Mike, we are impatiens, any idea for the release of the emu? whichever games are suported? i want to know..:)

[beastie]

How about a decent Amiga Emulator

[bloodangel]

hi Mike.. this is my first post on here and i dedicate it to you and your team for all the hard work you are doing to keep us happy...thanks ! :)

Will you be releasing a Beta version of this Mame please? I cant get the MAME4ALL to work at all... just freezes and shuts down psp.


Thanks

[MikeDX]

I will clean up a few bits and pieces and make a small release within the next couple of days. Probably saturday :)

Thankyou all for your support. I promise the wait will be worth it!

[blou]

MikeDX what are the list of games suported by the emu?
