Daedalus R6 Released - Nintendo64 Emulator for the PSP

[BrooksyX]

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6369/mario64works6fi.jpg

StrmnNrmn (http://strmnnrmn.blogspot.com/) posted this news/release of his Nintendo64 emulator for the PSP.


I've got to keep this short as blogger.com is going down in 5 minutes :(

Change log:

[+] Added over 50 new combiner modes
[+] Added support for c-buttons
[+] Load roms from ms0:\N64 in addition to local roms directory
[!] Fixed backface culling issues
[!] Correctly implemented flipping to avoid flickering with certain roms
[!] Plugged memory leak in texture handling code, fixing various crashes
[!] Fixed issue which caused screenshot function to hang the emulator

For R6 I've mostly been focusing on fixing a number of graphical issues (namely adding combiner modes to popular roms). I've also managed to add a couple of nice usability improvements (in particular mapping the c buttons to the dpad, using the circle button to toggle back to the n64 dpad). I've also been able to track down a couple of bugs that affected stability.

I've still not decided what to concentrate my attention on for R7. The main areas are:


* Speed

* Compatibility

* Graphics

* Usability

These are all quite broad areas, but it would be good to get a feeling for what people are most interested in seeing improved. Any comments would be most appreciated.

LOL sorry Bigmace we must have posted at almost the same time!

[Cooe14]

Does this contain both a 1.0 and 1.5 version.

[BrooksyX]

now it does.

[LAMPRO]

and boom... the explosion begins!!!!

[LAMPRO]

man this site is about to get swamped with hits..

[BrooksyX]

wow this versions seems to run alot faster and smoother, it doesnt say i am getting faster frame rates but it sure feels like it on mario.

[LAMPRO]

nice=

as soon as evryone has some roms loaded, report back with comments/issues..

strmmnrmmn needs user feedback for r7 updates...

[Kaiser]

Moved to news forum :)

[Zion]

Awesome :D Great work StrmnNrmn

[emuking]

awesome im going to try it right away

[Sharkey]

* I should point out that I had dozens of people suggest this to me via email and through comments on this blog, so I can't take any credit for this idea :)

Lol. Yeah, people love to point out the obvious and then say/think they thought of it first. :rolleyes:

I just downloaded my copy, looking forward to testing some games. Thanks for all of your hard work Norm. Good luck with R7. :)


Load roms from ms0:\N64 in addition to local roms directory
That would be nice if Monkey was still updating his. Has he given up?

[mameuser]

Wow, speedwise the same but it smoother than before alot

[danknugz]

it would be sweet if i could load the roms by usb..... trying out now, takes forever to move them over

[csd-san]

Downloading now, feedback shall come~

[skater9269]

i load mine from wifi

[sroon]

Harvest Moon works!!!!
And good!!!

[mameuser]

Mario Kart crash after a short play

[drew4237]

wow this versions seems to run alot faster and smoother, it doesnt say i am getting faster frame rates but it sure feels like it on mario.
what r u settings when u run mario

[kayhanbakid]

Thanks for all your hard work. It really is amazing what you've done so far.

For upcoming releases I would personally like to see an increase in speed. Also Mario Kart was my favorite N64 game so making that work without crashing would be insanely awesome. Also increased compatibility for more games would be great. But I know all of these are enormous tasks. Any improvements are much appreciated.

[BrooksyX]

Harvest Moon works!!!!
And good!!!

finally, this is what i have been waiting for!

[Man]

Is there a way to exit without having to restart my PSP ? everytime i want to exit a ROM i have to resart and it takes a long time, pardon me for being noobish but i cant find anything, other then that this is an awsome release and i hope for more to come!!

[Sk8.4.Life]

Bwahahahah! Second download! (I'm just now posting. >.< after having tried it.) x2 the improvement of R5 with an avg. of about 6.5fps on Super Mario 64 in the first level, compared to the like 3 from R5 with Tesselate Large Tris on and without the Dynamic Compiler on! GJ!... Now to try it with the dynamic compiler on and the other off see the difference...

Is there any possibility of frame skipping perhaps?

Update: With the Dynamic Compiler on and the TLT off, I was getting about 8-9fps area while in the first level and 10-15 outside and inside the castle.

[Kvonx]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! im not first NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! stupid football practice it made me late an i've bin waitin all day but as soon as im goneit appears..crap :confused: thank u for an excellent work strmnnrm we all r delighted..........jus downloaded:D

[BL4Z3D247]

finally c-buttons!!!!! mario doesn't look that much faster than R5 but strmnnrmn worked on the grafical stuff, hopefully he works on speed and/or stability for R7 :D
EDIT: wait mario does look a bit faster now that i look at my bros psp he still has R5 on his

[kfish2oo2]

Hmm niiiiiice. Testing now. Work on speed! Playin Mario is fun and all, but after a while I get cramps from pushing the buttons too hard trying to make him go faster :P

[tophead420]

this is great lol nice work on this and could the rom compatibility list be updatedif its not already

[Nasty Nate]

when i tried bass hunter on R5, the framework said it was runnin at like 115 frames, dows it still do iy on R6

[sroon]

Hey drew! I like your pic!
anyways there isnt too much dif with the release!

[SpacemanSpiff]

Mario 64 crashed when entering Princess Peach's Secret slide, EEPROM save not working.

Edit: Seems EEPROM save is working now. But it still crashes sometimes when entering or exiting a course.

[V3N0M]

Well it seems i'm not the first post. lol But Great job.

[shenske37]

you never dissappoint, this is awsome! Its looking great, the c buttons help so very much!

maybe if i find the time i'll beat mario 64 and see how the textures hold up

keep up the great work

[danknugz]

goldeneye, wont load
mario golf- intro screens then lockup
a bugs life- wont load
mario cart 64-loads, menus run smooth,almost a full lap at near half speed, then crashes psp.
mario party3: wont load, crashes psp
mario story: wont load
south park rally:loads...locks up at credit screen
starcraft 64 : wont load,unusable exeption
mario 64 loads...seems real smooth 6-7 fps, about 5/8th normal speed, i;d say, its fun just bouncing around in slomo lol
smash bros loads, loda of clipping and texture errors,intro loads at 20fps?!? but wont start
wipeout 64:wont load




no sound yet?

is there any way to exit a rom without restarting daedelus?
well, one game almost works!
thanks!

[Nasty Nate]

§weet, havent got it to work yet, but §weet

wow, ive been playin for a while and the textures havent gone beserk

[mistry121]

thanks

[remansano]

Danknugz, probably more games work... you've choosed only the big ones with a lot of graphics and so on...

Thank you StrmnNrmn
Please, if u ever read this... I'm sure improving speed is the hardest thing to do, but I'm sure it's also the most wanted improvement.

[csd-san]

Here's what I found, described to the best of my ability. I tried a few racing games.

San Francisco Rush - About 5 frames per second, in game. Menus are fast, but the text isn't readable. Texture glitches are everywhere and the cars only show solid colors with simple geometry. Tire smoke is purple/pink with black checkers. Playable though :)

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e248/csd-san/1b6562a9.png

Rush 2 - Graphics look a bit better ingame than San Francisco Rush, but froze during start countdown ("3, 2, 1, Rush!")

California Speed - Intro plays well, aside from bad textures and at ~20fps. Then freezes before menu loads.

Cruis'n World - Sits at "Eurocom" logo for 2 minutes. Didn't bother waiting past that. 2fps.

Excite Bike 64 - Doesn't even boot.

FZero X - Takes over 2 minutes to boot. Intro framerate and menu around 20 to 30fps, then doesn't seem to get any further.

Monster Truck Madness - Gets to menu with gameplay in background, then froze while browsing different options and my PSP turned off. 5fps. Same thing happened attempting to get further than vehicle selection screen. Vehicles have decent textures in secection screen, but other then that it's a complete mess.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e248/csd-san/c188fbd6.png

Ridge Racer 64 - Intro logos at 40 fps. Gets to "Save Data Corrupt" screen at 20 fps then freezes.

[Anger]

cruisin world locks at eurocom screen.
carmageddon 64 locks at carmageddon 64 press start screen.
destruction derby 64 very slow load, slight graphical corruption at intro crashes upon choosing to start a game
ridge racer 64 seems to lock after corrupt data screen.

hope this is of use to some. :D

EDIT: doh got beaten to it slightly :P

[mavsman4457]

Mario Party - Runs slowly for the intro then crashes mid-intro
Mario Tennis - During intro purple flashes come up then it crashes before the main menu

[YourStillWithMe]

i hope that in the future this build will become a heck of a lot better i would suggest to try to get the sound thrown in there for one big reason-you can get a sense of how the emulator will react once you do throw sound in there and how bad the frame rate will come out because lets say you work on speed then work on sound you may have to recompile the whole thing. You are however, doing the impossible. Good luck and take your time my friend. Great release! (if you get this working I will NEVER upgrade either one of my 1.50 psp's!)

[PSPegasus]

Nice to see the C-Buttons finally made it in! The camera on Mario 64 was driving me nuts before :P. But I think the major focus for R7 should be speed. I'd love to be able to play a small fraction of the N64 roms out there at near full speed (between 20-30fps in all areas) in the near future than wait for months (possibly years) until the emulator's compatible with all roms and THEN runs at full speed.
But great job on R6! Keep it up.

[emuking]

mario runs smoother yay

[LAMPRO]

Just to give you an idea of how influential this project is, I did some research here at dcemu to see which news thread was the most popular-

reigning in at number 1, with over 60,000 views, nearly 18,000 more views than the second most, the number 1 most viewed thread is...

daedalus.

bottom line, this emu is the most wanted and hunted emu for the psp.

amazing work strmnnrmn.. you should be knighted by the shadowprophet and king wraggy.

keep up the hustle and grind. tinker tinker my friend, tinker tinker. there will be more versions and there will be more breakthroughs. Do not stop until all is fully emulated at full speed, full sound, full emu.

Let it do wut it do baby!!

[nmkrapper]

Yeah man U'r great !
Everybody related to PSP homebrew talks about you !
I do hope you'll concentrate on significal speed increase in R7.

Lot's of love and respect to Strmnnrmn !

[sgamemu22]

great work strmnnrmn. i too would like to suggest speed improvements for the R7 release at least with mario 64

[flyer]

hey thank you and the best is the speed

I wrote this song a long long time ago

2pac rest in peace


he will

lol

[csd-san]

Tried Rush 2 again, didn't freeze. I got between 5 to 7fps depending on if Tesselate Large Tris is on or off.

Doesn't look too bad. I hope you guys don't mind the screenshots..?

[noob27]

Does it work good? cuz i'm trying it now

[Briggzy11]

Its fantastic and yes there is a improvement on Mario, Reasons for this is because the daedalus uses mario as a template I think, just to tell everybody I tried resident evil 2 haha and I think you can guess the result for that rom, I doubt it will ever work because of its size, either way another great release of this fine emulator and closer to a fine homebrew emulator. Forget the PSX emulator and the xbox 360 emulator (Yeh im taking the mickey lol) this is the future for homebrew gamers :D:D:D:D:D:D

QUICK EDIT:-

Something I discovered on Mario 64, Jump into the stream of water outside of Peaches castle and get out where the current stops you, walk to the trees nearby where you get out and the speed is incredible there almost proper speed, as soon as you leave that area though the speed decreases again :( Just thought Id tell you all anyway :D

[satty]

I'm very excited (!!!) for future releases. I agree the speed of at least mario 64 should be focused on. 1 game runnign at near full speed will show the potential for N64 emu on psp. While, neat, sofar games aren't really playable and it still seems more like a concept than a working emu. If mario worked, it would be a program loaded and kept on psp's instead of (im sure) loaded and deleted after checking it out. Seeing 3d renders is entertaining once, but playing mario 64 will ALWAYS be entertaining.
BTW, the screenshots are awesome, I wish more people posted screenshots for everything.

[lopezc]

Graphics look better, and Mario 64 runs a bit faster.Keep up the good work but in R7 please work on speed as every one is looking forward to that!!!

[Briggzy11]

Hang on let me get a screenshot of the area in mario where the game seems to be faster :D

[calebg]

did psmonkey give up cause strmnnrmn is better and he gave the job to him

[Briggzy11]

Here is a screenshot of the area in Mario 64 that seems to make the game slightly faster :D

7964

Also the swimming has a slight speed improvement too :D

7965

Hope them screenshots help you find the best areas anyway :D

Monkey64 is still going strong apparantly, so dont worry about that I think it will get just as good as this fine emulator too :D

NOTICE:--

That I have a star as well :D yes I managed complete a whole level its unbelievable haha :D:D:D

[lopezc]

one more thing Mario Kart 64 is running pretty good its actualy playable!!!

[BL4Z3D247]

hey Briggzy11 how do u take screenshots again? i forgot u can take screenshots :D

[Briggzy11]

yeh press select and then when the game pauses, just press Square and thats it as soon as you resume it'll take a screenshot, it should take about 1 minute to save as well :D

[BL4Z3D247]

ok cool, thanx

[felonyr301]

yea its here time to see how zelda is even though i know it aint really improved in speed but you never know lol.brb

[SuperNovaBova]

AWESOME!!! Keep up the Amazing work!
And speed increase would be great for R7

[Shadowblind]

Speed and more speed and graphics would be the best call for R7

[stotheamuel]

hey thank you and the best is the speed

I wrote this song a long long time ago

2pac rest in peace


he will

lol


HAHA look at my sig


and to all the people who keep saying work on the speed.. i think he knows what hes doing.. lol

[JD/]

This new n64 emu for psp is awesome R5 pails in comparison to this :D . R7 should be able to crack down on those graphical errors and maybe implement sound with higher frame speeds. after that its just compatibility keep up the good work. ^_^

Edit: I think in R7 you should include the sound first because it might affect frame speed :p

[kayhanbakid]

I just want to say that I don't really care to much about sound on most games. I am almost always listening to something else while I'm playing something. I find the sound in most games just repetitive music that I get tired of or annoyed fairly quickly. Unless it's a video with actual words being spoken, I don't really care to hear it. Plus, I've already listen to and got tired of the sound when I played these games on N64.

Sure sound would be nice but I just don't think there's any way this emulator will run smoothly with sound. Most games in the SNES emulator don't run smoothly with sound even with the sound in the media engine. So I would say speed and random crashes would be more useful to work on right now.

Just my opinion.


BTW, great job. I just tested Mario Kart and it is very playable. AMAZING JOB!!! If it just didn't crash often it would be pretty much what I dreamed of for N64 on the PSP. You can get through some races in time trial mode. Although it's not perfect, this is the first version that I will keep on my memory card.

Thank you!!

[SnoopKatt]

Quite an improvement, I like it :)

And I guess I would recommend to work on the speed and compatibiliy.

[felonyr301]

no sound maybe on some games but playing zelda without sound just doesnt cut it one of the best parts is the sounds of the game its like driving an rx-7 without hearing the sound it would be like driving any light car (rx-7-rotary engine best unique sounding engine)

[BrooksyX]

I would say speed would be a good thing to work on first.
But Honestly I think stability and a little bit more compatibility should also be worked on first, not a whole bunch, but enough to keep the emu from crashing a lot. What good is a fast emu going to be if it crashes every 3~5 min.

i totally agree, speed and stability are key right now IMO

[m0dm0use]

Hey nice work its going real well, but if you've got mario kart working at playable speed tell us the exact rom name your using as differnt region roms will work better than others.

[mr_nick666]

This new n64 emu for psp is awesome R5 pails in comparison to this :D . R7 should be able to crack down on those graphical errors and maybe implement sound with higher frame speeds. after that its just compatibility keep up the good work. ^_^

Firstly - Great release! :D I agree with JD though.. If there is going to be sound it would be good to try it now to see how it affects the overall speed :eek: Most people want it to run faster dont they!? :confused:

[Baboon]

I haven’t tried this yet cause I’m in work, but this looks very promising! :)


I aint bothered at all about sound, it doesnt really effect the game play. Getting the game running at a decent speed has got to be the priority for the next release of this great emulator (good luck).

[PSPegasus]

Just thought I'd post here again and let you guys know that I have been able to play Zelda Ocarina of Time!! It runs really, REALLY slowly but it doesn't crash or freeze like it used to (i've run it a few times and it only crashed back to the Daedalus menu once). There's a number of weird glitches, like the text being wrong (eg. you enter your name as LINK and when you reload the emulator it's REBE or something) and the house interiors textures don't show up, but otherwise it looks and works great!

[Gazz021]

just tried it with Mario64,very promising.can't wait for next update.
7966

[Uruz 6]

Going to try it later..
Anyway I would go for SPEED over graphics and sound.

[Kramer]

this emuator is making some great progress just played mario kart at 15fps

heres my screeny of mario

Hahahahahaha thats fantastic I definately want that haha :D

[teh21337]

is this emu also compatible for fw2.5?

[R4mbo]

This is really good work. This are good news, hope you continue your development. I think you should continue with speed.

[yamaneko]

which fps this run ?

[Briggzy11]

This emulator will work with all firmware (Apart from 2.71 of course) however I do think that soon strnmnnmn will concentrate on making the daedalus for firmware 1.5 only because of the different code he czn use to run the emulator, apparantly ZX-81 has taken the 1.5 route with his GBA emulator as its the best way.

I hope that is not the case anyway because I know that 2.XX users enjoy using this emulator as anybody else :D

[Video_freak]

indeed kernal mode speeds things up quite a bit. it would be nice for Daedalus. maybe for r7? :rolleyes:

[Facetags]

Thanks so much StrmmNrmm - you are a gift to homebrew the homebrew scene. :D

[Malksta]

on Mario 64 this seems like a very playable area

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5746/sd0000wa0.png

13 - 17 fps

[Accordion]

the courtyard through the door at the end goes even faster, i got up to 19.5 fps in the R5 version!!!

[D0N]

Woot! Great work StrmnNrmn! Nice to see a new update. Keep it up!

[despoteuodia]

wow this is great, keep up the good work:)
of cource because of this i will blame your for distracting me, SCAPE GOAT!!!!:rolleyes:
just kidding:D

[despoteuodia]

I hope that is not the case anyway because I know that 2.XX users enjoy using this emulator as anybody else :D
couldnt 2.xx users downgrade and use dev hook???:confused: that way they could have their 2.xx and 1.5 too?

[Mr.Denny]

couldnt 2.xx users downgrade and use dev hook???:confused: that way they could have their 2.xx and 1.5 too?

Indeed, but some users (like me) don`t want to encounter any risks during those kind of processes. I`m tech savy but not that much. ;)

I like the way my PSP is as it is, i don`t want a 1.5.

Also, fantastic job on the emulator!! :D

Zelda looks very promising! Slow but very promising.

[SpacemanSpiff]

So Zelda doesn't crash anymore when you bring up the pause menu? I remember when Zelda was first playable with R4 I spent like an hour playing at 2 fps just to get the sword, and then when I went to equip it it crashed on me :(

[Mr.Denny]

Well i didn`t pause it but i got into the Kokiri (?) village for a little ramble about. :P

[NeoXCS]

Yay, every new release makes me a little less dead inside! You're saving my life! :p Seriously though good job on this emulator, it's amazing! Good luck on future releases! :D

[telnaur]

Thank you so much for this release!
one of my favorite homebrews...
SPEED would be what I look forward to the most

[salomon st]

how is the fps on zelda?

[Jonesyxxiv]

I have Two Stars saved in Mario, and I finished a time trial race in Mario Kart(it froze right after). But those are the only games out of about 30 that have worked for me.

[Nasty Nate]

ive got like 3-4 stars i cant remember, im tryin to beat it, you can beat it with only 16 stars, so im gonna try §weet

[salomon st]

like the mario ninja style on youtube this guy beat the whole thing in like 16 mins

[Exoskeletor]

in this version do we have sound?

[dthpsc]

These are all quite broad areas, but it would be good to get a feeling for what people are most interested in seeing improved. Any comments would be most appreciated.

-StrmnNrmn


Speed all the way :)... would definitely be the highest priority in my book.

Sound would be the lowest priority for me. I think some people tend to forget that without full speed (or emulated full speed) emulation, the sound would almost be unbearable.

And keep up the great work... I mean it this is amazing... who would've thought this was possible?

[ACID]

Man this is sweet.Back from vacation and find this release. Great job

[felonyr301]

speed man speed lol but like the idea of putting in sound now to see how it goes so you know what happens and if you can start coding for 1.5 you will probably gain even more speed by using the ME engine ask the snes guys about it.

[Pumped'Up]

In addition to a speed boost, I wouldn't mind seeing an option to resize the screen. I'd rather play the N64 games at their native 4:3 (1:1) instead of it being stretched wide mode.

Thanks for this fantastic emu and all the hardwork. :)

[JD/]

Ive been tinkering about with all of the classic games on the r6 emulator and most of them work but i noticed that roms that have a size over 16mb or have a save type over 4mb cant initiate.:eek:

I also found that when i was trying to play games without crashing If i turned off recompilition it would not crash just something i picked up :p. I think that the new emulator should work on compatability of larger roms like conkers bad fur day, implementing sound, more graphical and an interface to select options from such as frame skip, colour, sound etc. similar to the vba PSP emulator.

Good work StrmnNrmn I hope the new release has as much improvement as R6 did in comparison to R5.

Another big thing to add is saving compatability I would like to save the game after i spent ages in the deku tree to get to the boss:D. But i dont know how to save if there is a way could someone please tell me but if there isnt thats just another thing to work on in r7. :p

[ACID]

Any suggestions on what roms are best at this moment.

[nmkrapper]

Hey guys !
I read StrmnNrmn's blog at : http://strmnnrmn.blogspot.com/

He says that :

For anyone reading this blog with an interest in emulator development, Microsoft have just released their Windows CE device emulator as shared source.

As the post mentions, it includes the source for an ARM -> x86 JIT compiler which makes interesting reading, (take a peek at armcpu.cpp)



Why does he mentions this at his blog ?
Could this help Daedalus 64 emulator progress ?

[nmkrapper]

And something else I forgot:
Qj.net reported that a N64 emu would be released in 14 July using an Ultrahle engine ported from Linux.
Are there any news about this Emu ?
(sorry for off-topic questions)

Well both the PSP and N64 processors are MIPS not ARM chipsets. I think he is just highlighting the release for those interested in emulation in general.
The JIT (Just In Time) emulation method is in itself interesting as it can be one of the most effective means of emulation possible (Laxer3a of SNESTYL fame for example felt that this would be the optimal method for Daedalus to achieve a high level of N64 emulation).

However in its current form the emulator above only allows windows machines to emulate windows ce devices so the direct usefulness to Daedalus is limited.

Yeah it's fake.

[nmkrapper]

Shame on QJ.net for posting fake news !
I'm sure they did know that, because they stated these were "exclusive news"

[charltonheston]

So far the roms which I've got working on my psp using R6 are:
Castlevania - disable dynarec - lots of black & purple
Lylat Wars - disable dynarec - slow but playable and graphically spot on
Mario Kart - enable dynarec - going quite fast now and is more stable than it used to be
Snowboard Kids - enable dynarex - slow but looking good
Spiderman - enable dynarec - a major improvement from R5 (especially with the mapped c buttons) even though there is still a bit of black and purple about you can swing about for quite a while before it crashes.

I'm not sure whether or not Strmnnrmn checks this site but my total admiration to him if he does - this is an awesome project.

you guy's should see allstartennis99 on daedalus R6 it runs like a dream (practically full speed) and there are no graphical errors what so ever.

i am running psp 1.5 and this game was played with dyna r. :D

[pkmaximum]

I'm waiting on the next release were Strmmmn is talking large speed updates because in my eyes when more fps are added to mario maybe like 5-6 then it will be to a playable extent.

We need to know what version of firmware your psp is. Are you using the GTA eloader or do you have a 1.5 firmware PSP?

[jak66]

@asakura: first we need to know your firmware
go to system settings on the xmb then choose system information, if it says;
1.00- use the 1.00 eboot, should work
1.50- use both of the 1.50 eboots (daedalus and saedalus%), should work
1.51/1.52- upgrade to 2.00, no other way
2.00- use tiff loader & 1.00 eboot, or degrade to 1.50
2.00/2.01/2.50/2.60 + GTA- use eboot loader at www.noobz.eu & 1.00 eboot (2.50/2.60 can degrade to 1.50)
2.70/2.71/2.80- sry m8, your out of luck, you can only use flash and official game demos

hope that helped

Now can someone help me

After playin LOZ:OOT (got to deku tree then got bored an switched off) this save file was made, which i guess is sram from file extention, but daedalus doesn't support this yet sow how was it made and why does it appear when LOZ:OOT is loaded (save file called RPEAAAAA in slot one):confused: ...

I had the same problem but I think theeres a problem with r6s save compatability so well have to w8 and see if we can save properly on r7

[sbrandyx]

i never got monkey 64 to work but this works!!!! well done dude:) :) :) :) :) :)

[HanTzu]

I have 2.0 but Im not sure if downgrading to 1.5 will screw up my psp ...will it?

[Video_freak]

Downgrading to 1.5 won't screw it up ;)

[Anger]

as long as your carefull, follow the instructions to the letter and have your charger plugged in at all times you will be fine. the 2.0 to 1.5 downgrade is the safest downgrade there is.

I guess i'm not a lucky person :( I'm out of luck, not even in real life :/
but are you sure there's no way that 2.81 can use this emu, or the iso games? :( :( I think i'll go cry out
