<blockquote>Yeah Yeah, The next build of monkey64 is here. Here is the readme file.

BIG NOTE - SEE THE COMPATIBILITY LIST FOR MICROCODES FIRST BEFORE RUNNING ROMS. SETTING THE WRONG MICROCODE WILL CAUSE THE GAME TO NOT PLAY PROPERLY OR CRASH YOUR PSP.

Well go enjoy, you spam monkeys!!

// Monkey 64 v2.0
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Monkey 64 by PSMonkey

// NOTE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This emulator is not in an advance state yet. It runs commercial roms but with glitches & speed issues.
Please give me time to be able to advance the emulator far enough to play more games at a reasonable speed.
Please also do not bother me regarding the speed. It is running off a pure interpreter core which
is slow. I will get a dynamic recompiler core in as soon as I can get things much further.

// MICROCODE NOTE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Please note that before running a rom you must set the proper microcode. If you do not set the proper microcode
the game could crash your psp or show up incorrectly. Please see compatibility.html for a list of proper microcodes
for each game.

// Info
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Monkey64 is an n64 emulator started from scratch that takes the psp limitations into consideration. The
ultimate goal is solid n64 emulation at 30-60fps on the psp. This will not come instantly but maybe 6 months
now it will be a reality.

At the current time Monkey64 supports a large array of n64 homebrew / PD roms that draw to the framebuffer & commercial roms.
While not all commercial roms run & the ones that do are a bit glitchy, things are improving on a daily basis.

// Change List
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

- 2.0 -
.) Way too much to list, Commercial roms work.
.) Fast 3D/SW 2.0, Fast 3D Ext, F3DEX1.0 & F3DEX2.0 Microcodes supported
.) Many gfx & Hle issues still exist. Missing a surface clipper & n64 combiner support.
.) 4Kb Eeprom supported
- (if you wish to use your eeproms from pc emu's, rename them the same as the rom and change the extension to .epr)

- 1.0 -
.) First Release, Runs a majority of homebrew roms that render directly to the CFB.

// To Use
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
1) Create a folder labeled "n64" on the root of your memory stick.
2) Copy your roms into the "n64" folder (roms MUST NOT be zipped).
..) Example "G:\n64\" (replace G: with your psp drive letter)
3) Copy the files from the folder containing your psp version number
..) Example, 1.0 users will go into "1.0 or 2.0" folder and copy the psp directory to the root of the memory stick.
4) Run the software :)

they are close to the same as daedalus. but this loads less roms (only 8-16 mb) and has 4k eeprom saves.

You really need to work with the Daedulus creator, great things could definitely happen. Maybe not though, sometimes people work better independently. You should def. contact him though. I'm confused because i dont know which emulator to proceed with because i dont want to have 2 N64 emulators saved on my cpu well i guess i could errr

great work again my friend!

Anybody know how well mario 64 is running

Holy Cow! Do the groundbreaking developments ever stop for the PSP????? Hell No! And that is the way we like it, lol -

Very exciting to see this advancing as it is. I believe PSMonkey is working with the daedalus creator. I have no problem with them both releasing different EMU's. It can only help and speed up development and progress.

It is very easy to take for granted what the PSP homebrew scene provides us. I don't want to hear complaints about speed or compatibility. The fact that N64 emulation on the PSP has come this far is a work of pure genius in itself. And this is still a work in progress which is very encouraging.

Truly awesome work PSMonkey. Thank you!

Hi

Just to let you know I tried this on my psp ver 2.5. I can get to Mario Kart 64 main screen but it just hang there. I put the file in
PSP/Game/ and theN64 folder in the main root.

Maybe you can see how to make it work on ver 2.0+

Thnks

How do I actually load up a rom? I can't get past the "load rom, screen size etc" screen. When I press "load rom", my PSP freezes and crashes.

Am I suppose to be using the 1.5 folder or 1.0/2.0 folder? Thanks.

Try using the different version like the 1.5 one load up the emu from "Monk" I have heard that helps or something.

i can't wait until i have some time to try this out for myself. thanks, dude.

this is especially awesome, since i just bought a few used 64 games only to find that my console has become a total dick and doesn't work most of the time.
