gpSP 0.6 (Full Speed GBA Emulator for PSP)

[Kramer]

http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/GBA_icon02_cs.png

Exophase (http://bitpack.net/) has just realeased gpSP 0.6 :), GameplaySP is a fullspeed GBA Emulator for the PSP, heres the release details:

Not everything I wanted to get in is there but I figured I've made people wait long enough for a fix to my stupid bug from last time, heh.

Heres what's new

v0.6 - (still beta quality, look out for new bugs)
NOTE: Please include gpsp.cfg with EBOOT.PBP, this shouldn't be necessary but I think it is right now.
# Fixed a nasty bug that shouldn't have made it into the initial release; a lot of games that TECM.. erm.. crash won't anymore. NOTE: This doesn't mean that no game will ever crash, freeze,
otherwise not work.
# Fixed some crashes in the GUI and the ability to "go up" past ms0:/PSP. Made the "go up" button square like it was supposed to be (instead of cross).
+ There's now a menu that you can access, by default press right while holding down triangle for the frameskip bar.
+ Menu option: resize screen aspect ratio, the default is now "scaled 3:2" which makes it look more like a normal GBA. You can use "fullscreen" (what it was like before) or "unscaled 3:2"
(tiny but pixel for pixel like a GBA)
+ Menu option: You can now load new games while the current one is running.
+ Menu option: You can now restart the currently running game.
+ Menu option: Frameskip variation - this defaults to "uniform" whereas it defaulted to "random" last release. Basically, turn it on random if you find that frameskip causes flickering animations to make things disappear. Other than that it will generally look better on uniform.
+ GUI and file loading now have "auto repeat" on the buttons so they're not such a pain to navigate.
+ Menu option: Added support for 128KB flash ROM, some games require it (Pokemon Firered/Leaf Green, Super Mario Advance 4), turn it on before running the game to make sure it works. NOTE: There are some versions of these ROMs that have been hacked to get around their 128KB flash, and may not even work properly at all. Look out for them, these games should save 128KB save files after you set the setting to it, IF they use 128KB flash.
+ Menu option: Added ability to make the .sav files only update when you exit the emulator, use with extreme caution (in other words, it's not a good idea to use something like this in beta quality software if you care about your saves). Does NOT update if you exit through the home button, don't use the home button if you can help it.
+ Zip support thanks to SiberianSTAR. It will load the first file with the extension .gba or .bin that it finds.
+ Menu options are saved to gpsp.cfg. Note that it does not save frameskip options or flash ROM options because these are very per game particular.
+ The emulator will now try to save backup files to somethingmore matching the backup size than a fixed 64KB. @ Loading ROMs and the auto save of the .sav files is MUCH faster now. Thanks for the heads up on how to improve this from pollux!
@ While coding for the screen resize code I found that SDL just wasn't cutting it and had to code for the GU myself. Turns out the new code is faster (but because it is render code anyimprovement will be diminished to nothing as frameskip is increased). Special thanks to Zx-81 for the tips on this one
and for his GU code in the PSPVBA source as an example.
@ Added some games to game_config.txt. Note that not all versions of these ROMs will work with these options, try to use the USA version if possible.

Just a note, be SURE to include the included gpsp.cfg with the EBOOT or things might get messed up. It shouldn't need it but I guess it does for now.

[Video_freak]

:D welcome

[BL4Z3D247]

@video_freak: yeh i know, atleast pokemon doesn't crash when u use "growl" now and there's a basic menu :)

[Video_freak]

What pokemon are you using it doesnt work or save for me.:(

[BL4Z3D247]

What pokemon are you using it doesnt work or save for me.:(
leaf green saves without a patch and fire red u need a patch

here's the save patch for pokemon - fire red

[Kramer]

Hey if anyone needs patchs for any gba game you should check this site out
http://bubbz.pocketheaven.com/?system=gba&section=patch

[BL4Z3D247]

thanx kramer :D

[Video_freak]

Patches? Sorry I'm kinda new to this... :o

[BL4Z3D247]

for some reason some pokemon and other games don't save or play unless u have applied a patch

[Kramer]

They patch games so they dont crash and so you can save and stuff like that. Theres also trainer patches so you can cheat:)

[Video_freak]

Ok. Thanks for the info Kramer. How would I know if I need a patch though (and where would I put it, etc.) :)

[BL4Z3D247]

down load this tool :) http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=33360&highlight=trimmer

then download a patch load the game file in the tool under the ISP tab the load the patch in the tool and then click patch at the bottom and the it will give u a file like IP-Pokemon-Fire Red(for save patches)

[Video_freak]

KK. Thanks to Kramer and Blazed for the help. ;)

[BL4Z3D247]

[Kramer]

[Video_freak]

Your welcome video. LOL
Did you even help me? :p

[ACID]

like always.

[luis_05]

men!! super mario kart keeps crashing!! :-( it worked on the previous release!!!

[ACID]

Theres a lot of bugs that need to be fix. It will take time but great emu.

[deediare]

Awww. I guess I wasn't meant to have this emulator....every ROM I've loaded crashes my PSP (Never did this on first release)

[BL4Z3D247]

try changing the uniform thing to random if roms are crashing and they didn't on the last release

[Dementia7]

quick help, my Emerald of pokemon works on the last release..now crashes right when open it. can anyone help, do i need to set the config a certian way?

NVM, it was the 128k thing, for some reason, you NEED it on before the game starts in order for it work. oh well, i guese i learned somthing. also, i had to get a differen't rom, and at first it made the white screen, then i set it to 128k, restarted the game, all was fixed. even saves.

[luis_05]

try changing the uniform thing to random if roms are crashing and they didn't on the last release

how do i do that?

[BL4Z3D247]

Dementia7 try doing what i said in my post above

hold triangle and hit right on the d-pad then go down to frameskip variation and change to random(this is how it was set on the last release, i'm not sure this will fix ur problem just suggesting u change that setting to see if it fixes ur problem)

[ACID]

Thank you Blaze

[emuking]

exophase is tight, but i still liked zx-81's work on a gba emu too :D

[ACID]

exophase is tight, but i still liked zx-81's work on a gba emu too :D
Me too i say he should work on the code by him self. If esophage doesnt want help.:D

I wish it did....but no luck :(

[Dementia7]

got it fixed changing the 128k thing, thanx anyway man.

[10shu]

Thank you!!!

zelda minish cap do not crash anymore...Awesome!

Maybe in the next version we could have an option to remove sound emulation...it would help game like advance war to run faster

[Kramer]

Yeah but you cant cut bushes down yet so zelda aint playable yet.

[pkmaximum]

I was also hoping that in this version Zelda the Minish cap would have that bush bug fix. I don't understand how a problem in a emulator could result to a bug in game on a certain particular rom. Just doesn't make sense to me. Like things like that you would usually expect to see the problem as the rom dump.

[felonyr301]

its still beta and dont wanna lose my saved progress in mega man zero 3 so ill stick with the first version till i see it more improved even though with a certain code i was able to run all mega man zero games yes all of them at full speed with no problems with the first version so im good and if anybody needs the code line for any mega man zero games then pm me later...

[Dementia7]

weird..all my saves worked. im still playing the same SAV. of y Final Fantasy IV, and Pokemon emerald.

[BL4Z3D247]

weird..all my saves worked. im still playing the same SAV. of y Final Fantasy IV, and Pokemon emerald.
damn, lucky u :p...i had to start my pokemon game over

[deediare]

Man...I would LOVE to know how you guys are playing this just fine...I knew there was something wrong with my PSP...

[Dementia7]

i even had to change my pokemon emerald rom, BUT, i ren-named it to exactly what the rom title was and it worked perfectly. i didn't need to change my FFiv though, it stayed the same.

[BL4Z3D247]

Man...I would LOVE to know how you guys are playing this just fine...I knew there was something wrong with my PSP...
what's the problem ur having?

[felonyr301]

guys copy and paste this to the game config.txt file and all mega man zero games will run full speed with just frameskip at 1 and make sure to have the file in the same folder with the roms ok guys just remember that its only for the usa versions ONLY.....

# Megaman Zero 2 (U)
game_name = MEGAMANZERO2
game_code = A62E
vender_code = 08
idle_loop_eliminate_target = 08000664

# Megaman Zero 3 (U)
game_name = MEGAMANZERO3
game_code = BZ3E
vender_code = 08
idle_loop_eliminate_target = 08001a08

# Megaman Zero 4 (U)
game_name = MEGAMANZERO4
game_code = B4ZE
vender_code = 08
idle_loop_eliminate_target = 0800090c

P.S. im still using the first versoion but i doubt he made a difference with this he did say its still beta and just fixed major crashes?!?!

[troom]

i did nnot have to put any wierd code are any thing to play any of the mega man zero games and they all ran at full speed

[deediare]

what's the problem ur having?

Well if I go to the ROM selsction menu and select a ROM it loads for 1 SECOND then goes to a blue screen saying "I regret to inform you that your psp has just crashed" then I have to remove my battery to turn it back on...

[felonyr301]

hmm maybe this new version he already put it in already but if anything theres the code im using it for the first version...

[Dementia7]

Well if I go to the ROM selsction menu and select a ROM it loads for 1 SECOND then goes to a blue screen saying "I regret to inform you that your psp has just crashed" then I have to remove my battery to turn it back on...

you dont need to remove ur battery, just hit HOME and go back. thats what i do everytime it crashes...why would u take ur battery out? u can also re-set the psp with the right side switch.

no need to remove battery

[BL4Z3D247]

ok do u have the gba_bios.bin that 16k in size? and is it in the same folder as the eboot? also make sure ur not trying to load the bios, u need to move over to the right and select the roms folder u made

[deediare]

you dont need to remove ur battery, just hit HOME and go back. thats what i do everytime it crashes...why would u take ur battery out? u can also re-set the psp with the right side switch.

no need to remove battery

Buddy, I WISH it was that easy....if I press "Home" it frezzes and if I hold the power switch absolutely nothing happens...

[felonyr301]

yea just checked this new version's game config file and the same code is there so he already place it but it could be useful for anyone who still using the first version lol...

[pkmusicmaker]

Finally a new emulator to really be excited about besides n64. Thanks for the update so soon.

[deediare]

ok do u have the gba_bios.bin that 16k in size? and is it in the same folder as the eboot? also make sure ur not trying to load the bios, u need to move over to the right and select the roms folder u made

Man, I feel STUPID :rolleyes:

I totally forget about the BIOS

Man that sucks......flame me if you please I deserve it:p

[BL4Z3D247]

Man, I feel STUPID :rolleyes:

I totally forget about the BIOS

Man that sucks......flame me if you please I deserve it:p
lol nah i don't flame :), we all make silly mistakes

[thumpa]

i looked everywere on google and can't
find the bios could somebody pm it to me

thanks

[hack.fool]

wake up this morning and find a new gpsp..
today can't start better than this...
HERE WE GO!

[jinqui242]

I was also hoping that in this version Zelda the Minish cap would have that bush bug fix. I don't understand how a problem in a emulator could result to a bug in game on a certain particular rom. Just doesn't make sense to me. Like things like that you would usually expect to see the problem as the rom dump.

You also can't roll with the R button. I checked on my PC emu and you can roll by pressing the D-pad in any direction and the R button. It also should say, "Roll" on the display when you are moving, but it doesn't.

[pkmusicmaker]

I feel like this emulator is working backwards. Usually they start off with most games working, and then they increase speed. This one just started off with perfect speed and is just fixing bugs and compatability. No complaints here, it's more fun this way.

[thumpa]

super dodge ball works like a charm
and a shout to blazed247 for the hook-up

[YourStillWithMe]

luis05-i feel ya dude my fav gameboy advance game!!!!!

[BL4Z3D247]

super dodge ball works like a charm
and a shout to blazed247 for the hook-up
glad i could help :D, just got my 1st badge in pokemon leaf green, now i can RUN :p

[s075933]

How do you change the settings before you load your rom?

[YourStillWithMe]

Video Freak-Check your PMS on this site my friend its full!!!!! i sent you like 2 pm's with no response. . .

[BL4Z3D247]

@s075933: press "x" after loading the emu

[s075933]

@s075933: press "x" after loading the emu

Thanks alot

What games have you tried?

[BL4Z3D247]

just the pokemon's(red/green)so far, gunna test more tmrw...i got sucked into pokemon or else i would have tested more lol :D

[LampDev]

Is this 1.5 only or does it work with 2.0+?

[BL4Z3D247]

it should work with 2.0+ it's an 1.0 eboot

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

OMFG nuff said !!! Thxs mate !!! can I bear your children for u :) lol u are a god.

[pspfan]

Guys, you do NOT need patched roms. Do not patch your roms or download patched roms. They won't work properly. If a game needs 128kb saves, just change the saves to 128kb before you load the rom.

[tophead420]

wow iv been waiting for this lol thanks and i seen it has ZIP support thats what i was wanting this release to have great work ma and keep it up

[the_red_rose]

these guys are awesome :eek: [Exophase and Zx81] man, they twist again! they should try to team up together...:cool: maybe they will release a fullspeed N64 or PS1 emulator if they really work together:p ! howether, that's some good stuff and all my congrats to them! :rolleyes: keep on doing the good work guys! you ARE strong!
"MAY THE STRENGHT BE WITH YOU!!!";)

[siulmagic]

wow amazing release loving the zip support =D

[scupitangul]

you are a very good coder...i mean speed and sound both perfect ....on 90% of the games what more could i ask for....well the little things will be done but this version has improved a lot..thx

[ACID]

I wish theyd team up.

[hksrb25s14]

Awesome emulator!!

Thanks a lot for the release, and thanks Echophase for your hard work.

Now i'm going to play and test some games :D

[eldj]

great update 16mb roms now works with eloader

[Festizzio]

Wow, games seem a lot smoother even with frameskip, this is awesome! Nice Exophase! :D It's a shame that Golden Sun still crashes a lot. Oh well...

[bosanova_x]

loads of my roms are crashing,but the roms with (u) at the end of thier rom name seem to work great.

hope this helps.

[four_add]

tried Dragon Ball Adventure, runs perfect except for some graphic glitches.. Gunstar super heroes now works :D

[mnuhaily22]

I am having trouble, It won't even start, It says the data is corrupted.

[BL4Z3D247]

I am having trouble, It won't even start, It says the data is corrupted.
do u have the gba_bios.bin in the same folder as the eboot? and what fw do u have?

[hack.fool]

plaing now to Mario Kart...Damn it's too fast!!:eek:

pspVba had the same problem.. till zx fix it :)
This version is awesome!
I wonder the next one....:eek: :D

[zaiser]

Very good nice program !

[segis666]

i always get a bluescreen when i tries 2 run every game :/

[Baboon]

I cant wait to try this one! :)

Top stuff fella!

[Khorney]

excellent stuff here, it plays games even smoother than on my GBA for some reason (when i have no framskip) >_<. anyways, theres a slght problem with minish cap. it doesnt crash after i get the map, but i get stuck, because shrubs, bushes and stumps etc replacethemselves automaticly when picked up.cut thus making it impossible to proceed. just though id let you know

[apiso]

i always get a bluescreen when i tries 2 run every game :/you need gba_bios.bin in the same folder of the emulator.

[HolgiB]

The 0.6 Version is not working at all for me.

Just replaced the files in __SCE__gbSP folder with the ones from the new release.

When I now try to start the emulator my PSP tells me, that this game is not working :(.

When I put the 0.5 .PBP file in the folder again, it works perfectly. But its the old release...

Do I need to change someting in the %__SCE__gbSP folder?

--Holger

[MetalMind]

Do I need to change someting in the %__SCE__gbSP folder?

I think so. We´ll need the 1.5 version kexploited... Can anyone upload it?

[BL4Z3D247]

u need to kxploit the emu to work on 1.5, the download in for 1.0/2.01+

here for 1.5

[LiLxFlip]

all we need now are save/load states! practically the most important part of the emu. how would you like it if you've gotten far on progress then can't save? hmmm, probably some optimizations too for some games (freezing, crashing, etc.). but this is still in beta and it's already good!

[BL4Z3D247]

1.5 download's on page 12 :)

[MetalMind]

Thanks, Blazed247!!!!! n____n

[BL4Z3D247]

np :)

[HolgiB]

Luckily there is a linux version of kxeploit. I kexploited it and it works now.

Thank you guys!

--Holger

[segis666]

you need gba_bios.bin in the same folder of the emulator.

yeah i know and i have that :/ but it dosent seem 2 help :mad:

[BL4Z3D247]

what fw do u have?

[four_add]

just tested a few..Drill Dozer requires frame skip(slow and the sound is awful), B-daman works great. and Riviera doesnt work at all..(its 33MB BTW)

[Nikolaos]

omggg i lov reading (Full Speed GBA Emulator for PSP) thanks for the superb release

[revolver6]

Great Job Exophase. Keep ém coming

[LazerTag]

1.5 download's on page 12 :)


Thanks for that, but can I recommend it' best to give a link to the associated post. The page numbers are relative to what the user has defined as the "Number of posts to show per page" setting. So for me the link was on page 3 of this thread. ;)


Can't wait to try the emulator out later. Sure to be good stuff.

[Zion]

Thanks Blazed247 :p

[Zion]

This emu is aweome, i didnt try the previous release.... but this is superb.....

Keep the updates coming :D

[Uruz 6]

Metroid Fusion doesn't freeze on the elevator anymore, in that part it's a little slow but nothing to worry about since it goes back to normal (wich means full speed) immediately after.

[segis666]

well i got it to work now :) i got 1.5 just tried and installed it some more and it worked *wiiie* hehe :3

[jaws365]

Argh! I get the blue screen when loading games even though I have the bios, renamed and all...

EDIT: Mario Kart worked, Golden Sun 1&2 crashes.

[Zion]

OMG, this is awesome, zelda minish cap full speed :D

[Kvonx]

Great Work again!!!

[not here anymore]

If "Frameskip" function is set to another button than Triangle, it doesn't work.

[Plowking]

This new version no longer works with 2.00 and eloader!!

Major bummer!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I tried it through GTA and the emu loaded...but no games will load!

[Khorney]

it does, you just have to press start...

[lumisi]

This emulator is good at crashing, i get a blue screen with everything I do.

[Plowking]

This emulator is good at crashing, i get a blue screen with everything I do.

I get black screens...

I hope he fixes support for the eloader.

[Mr. Shizzy]

Awesome! I've been checking for an update to this emu about 10 times a day. lol. Some games seem to have sound issues that didn't before. I am really hoping to see analog support on the next revision. (I know, the GBA don't have analog - but the PSP's D-pad sucks lol) How much space does keeping roms zipped save? Does that make them slower? Great work Exophaze! (I hope I spelled it right) And also thanks to ZX-81 for his help w/ this revision. :)

[RetroGoth]

I have 2.6 and everything seems to be working alright. I'm even playing pokemon fire red with no patch I dont know how it's working but w/e it is lol

[Plowking]

Ok sorry....everybody line up with their guns...and shoot me!!!

I only went and deleted the bloody bios file while i was converting everything to zips!!

BANG BANG...I'm Dead!! Ugh!

BTW...it now requires GTA, when the previous one didn't! And the zip files aren't working for me. Oh wait...I'm supposed to be dead...er....UGH!!

[mcleod]

Dam im stuck ... I have everything i need to get it working i dont know what to do ... I have the bois and everything , but it still crashing .I have a 1.5 psp , do i need to re-name anything ?

[JD/]

you need to use kxploit on your PSP or use seipei tool to convert it to a 1.5 eboot custom firmware dont have these problems :)

[mcleod]

you need to use kxploit on your PSP or use seipei tool to convert it to a 1.5 eboot custom firmware dont have these problems :)

[mcleod]

Yea that is correct , serch and find . Then place it on the emu folder . I dont want to give to much info, cause i dont want to get introble .. I love this website to much .. ive done so much to my psp ive have 6 ppl ask that they would buy my psp from $500 bucks to 1k.....

This CRAP EMULATOR does NOT WORK it crashes my PSP every game i try :mad:

[Video_freak]

This CRAP EMULATOR does NOT WORK it crashes my PSP every game i try :mad:
Dude, calm down! Are you using 1.5? Do you have the GBA bios?

[beastie]

:mad: I have 1.5 Firmware and the official BIOS but every game i try CRASHES MY PSP :mad:

[klisejo]

yeah im getting crashes too. Im 1.5, and have the same bios I used for the last version of this emu.

[Video_freak]

When does it crash? When you load a ROM?

[beastie]

ye

[Video_freak]

Hmmm. I'm getting the same problem. People have been talking about patches. Look at pages 3 and 4 on this thread.

[beastie]

It crashes when i load a rom ZIPPED or unzipped

[klisejo]

oh nvm I fixed it. IF you use a homebrew installer on it, you still need to copy the contents of the zip file to the main emu folder, fixes it right up.

[deediare]

Well....HERE WE GO AGAIN... I patched my Pokemon - Fire Red ROM and now I can't access the menu! Then I got rid of both roms and tryed again...but to no avail..:(

Any Help?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured out on my own....

[beastie]

patched or unpatched , Zipped or unzipped it still dont work and CRASHES MY PSP:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Video_freak]

Did you try looking at patches? Look at pages 3 and 4 on this thrad. They might have answers....
Otherwise, I don't know what else to do... :(

[klisejo]

open up your gpsp main folder thats on your psp mem stick. The game_config file and the gpsp.cfg file that came along with the emu's zip file need to be in there, otherwise nothing will work.

[Video_freak]

Thanks for the tip kliseo. ;)
I'll see if that's the problem for me...

[yobusta]

patched or unpatched , Zipped or unzipped it still dont work and CRASHES MY PSP:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


i am getting th same problem. i use sei psp tool to convert it to my psp with the bios(that worked with previous release). Anybody know how to fix this?

P.S Beastie you know these coders dont have to create these emus. They spend hours and hours trying to make this better and all you do is complain like a spoiled brat.

[Mr.Denny]

Bit of a problem guys. Here`s what i have in the GBA folder.....

What do i have wrong?

Thank you :)

[Video_freak]

I don'tknow, I'm getting the same problem too... :(
Anyone know what we're doing wrong?

[Dementia7]

you guys i save patched my fire red and it runs FLAWLESSLY, no battery problem or save or ANYTHING.. so im assuming u guys have bad rom dumps. by the way, if u can find the one that says
FIRE RED - SQUARRELS. get that one, its the one i have and runs perfectly.

[Video_freak]

How do you save patch files? Also, where do you find good dumps. eMail/MSN me at Videofreak.PSP.Homebrew@gmailcom. :)

[Dementia7]

can i just PM you?

[Plowking]

One problem I was having was that my pokemon rom had é in it.

This will crash the emu so change it if you have this in your file names.

[Video_freak]

can i just PM you?
No, my box is always full and it's pissing me off. :(
I preffer eMail.

[scarph]

:mad: :mad: :mad:

I dont understand, everything works flawlessly, except in minish cap, you cant hit the bushes. you know how you can pick up and slash the green bushes. i cant make them go away, and you cant advance in the game otherwise. i pick up a bush, its in my hands, but theres still one on the ground

Helpppp

[Video_freak]

I'm guessing that's a bug djk. :(

[yobusta]

Mines is working now i just forgot to put the bios file in their. i thought i did.

[Dementia7]

delete like 2 messages real quick and i'll send you NFO, reason is, becouse i can't download msn at the moment.

[Video_freak]

Why can't you just send me an eMail? :(

[Dementia7]

cuz im lazy. hha okay, give me a sec man.

[Video_freak]

Ok. Thanks a lot. :)

[Dementia7]

Helpppp

urrggg gotta bump my own statements cus you guys are moving too fast.

maybe someone else has this problem

please check it out ^^^^

[Dementia7]

Djk, its obviously a bug that hasn't been fixed yet, wait for the next release. its as about all we can do and you gotta live with it. play other games.

[AtariFreek]

Do You Guys Know If FF tactics Advance Gets Past The Magic Book Movie Clip?

[scarph]

No sir i do not concure

all the compat threads are saying it works perfectly...not being able to advance through the first stage isnt perfect, i think its a problem with my setup not the emu

[AtariFreek]

@djk, Um No They Don't. Minish Cap CAN'T cut The Bushes Down Yet. It Never Could In Either Of The Releases, Your Setups Probably Fine, Stick To Playing Other Games. I Got Wario Land 4 Working Good!

[Dementia7]

i think they meant PERFECT up untill that part, as they said the same before, where it was perfect UP untill the map part. and if you dont concure, then thats your problem.

[uudem]

can anyone help me with this emulator
the previous version was working great
but this 1 evrytime I try to load it I get : the game could not be started (80020001)

[scarph]

[AtariFreek]

@ uuudem You Have A 1.5? If You Do Then I Don't Know What The Problem Is, Try Re-Downloading It And Putting It In The GAME Folder Again.

Did you put the GPSP and GPSP% folders inside GAME (I'm assuming your using 1.5)?

[Kramer]

[Dementia7]

[AtariFreek]

[Dementia7]

[uudem]

Uh Oh, Im Gettin The Game Cannot Be Started Thing To...

so it s not working for u 2
I tried to download it froma nother website
same thing happened

[gavind]

to fix a lot of the problems you are all having try the following

1. Check to make sure u have the GBA Bios and that its correctly named.
2. Delete all gPSP06 folders from the memory stick.
3. Use PSP Brew to save the eboot so that the folder names stay correctly.
4. Copy all the files from the gPSP06 folder to the memory stick leaving out the eboot that u have just transferred.
5. Get a game you know worked on the old version and finally.......

6. Hope for best :p

[Mr.Denny]

Can anyone who has it working please take a screenshot of there folder set up?

It would be a massive help to everyone.

Thank you

[BrooksyX]

Lol I Know I Just Don't Wanna do The Snowball Fight Again, *Sigh*.

I feel your pain I just played through the whole thing to find out that it wont let me save.

[AtariFreek]

Oh NM I Forget To Delete The Previous Version From My Mem Stick Lol, And I Kxploited This Versoin, Works Fine. And I Got Through Bowser Tutorial Battle On Superstar Saga! YAYAYAY!

[gavind]

its not the folder setup, its the files that are put in the wrong place, mine wudnt start until i cleared all the folders from the memory stick and started again from scratch.

[gavind]

i hope my information helped a few people:)

[beastie]

I haven't got any version to work yet , the 1st version it wouldn't accept any BIOS , this version it wont load any games.

[AtariFreek]

Use Google To Search For A BIOS, Or Dump Your Own.
Those Should Work.

[Alucard]

Anyone get MegaMan and Bass running. When I try, it goes to the Gameboy screen, and then black screen. That is using the us one. If I use the uk one, it crashes the psp all together.

By the way, do games have to get save patched? Or does this emu take care of that. Mario 4 gets save corrupt error.

[BrooksyX]

Yeah I got to the part where you name your clan then when it took me to the world map and I tried to save but it said memory pakl error, so I just turned it off.

[uudem]

I got to load the emulator
but the problem is that every time I try to load a game my psp crashes
even when I try to exit without loading a game it crashes
what can I do
did anybody get this before me

[JD/]

This version seems to have less compatability but just a better gui i think ill stick to 0.5 for now

did you put in the config file from the zip i think its a cfg file or something.

[Alucard]

I did a quick compatibility test of games not on the compatibility list. This is for version 0.6, are you guys havingthe same experience?

Crashes:
R-TYPE 3: Crashes to blue screen after choosing weapon type.

Donkey Kong Country: Crashes to Blue Screen

Donkey Kong Country 2: Crashed to Blue Screen

Megaman and Bass: Crashes to Blue Screen

Runs Fine, needs patching:

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Loads fine with some sound issues, needs save patching

Super Mario Advanced 4: Game Loads, but needs to be saved patched to work

Runs Fine, with sound issues:
Super Ghoul's 'N Ghosts: Loads fine with some sound issues

Metroid Zero Mission: Loads fine with some sound issues

Metal Slug Advance: Loads fine with some sound issues

Gunstar Super Heroes: Load Fine with some sound issues

Runs Perfect:
Marble Madness, Klax: Works Fine

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Works Fine

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Works Fine

[Mr.Denny]

I put every file in a GPSP folder but it won`t load. :(

It just goes to a black screen.

Any help?

[Kyros]

Im having problems loading games with v. 0.6, first I thought that it was the .zip files so I extracted them and deleted what I didn't need meanwhile I accidently deleted the gba_bios file I had for v. 0.5 but does it really need it because I seem to be having the same problem even without the gba_bios file, v. 0.5 was doing fine loading some games although it crashed during gameplay but I can't even load any of the games that worked for v. 0.5 on v. 0.6...any help would be appreciated...thanx for your time.

[AtariFreek]

PLEASE HELP ME, I Just Opened It Again, And Everytime I Press Triangl To Frameskip, It Crashes, WTF Is Wrong?

[Phobos666]

Great release from exophase. This fixes a lot of my crashes from before. The only game I have now that still crashes is Golden Sun, one of my favs:( . The only problem I had transitioning from 0.5 to 0.6 is that my old saves kept causing crashes on the new version, so I had to delete the them. Not a big deal I guess.

[migsgiz]

can any body help me on how to put the trainers

[Kvonx]

i had problems with the zip roms.......psp crashed after i press the left d-pad........problem is solved when i unzip them:)

[uudem]

I started a new thread in the Help section
anyone who can help would be very apreciated
any problems u can post them there if u want it will be more clear coz in this thread there is 2 much confusion

[TrowaX]

Great Release on the emu runs really smooth
will there be analog support and 32mb rom support in the future release ?

[psp411]

lol very good update indeed. im satisfied with it but it wont play many of my megamans haha:P thats okay, ill see if i can configure the game_config myself...shouldnt be hard

[Kvonx]

there is a bug in the gpsp folder that corrupts it.....cant delete gpsp of my psp with the computer so i have to do it with irshell, the bug lets evry rom crash!!!!!:(

[RetroGoth]

awesome release also there is still the bug in castlevania harmony when you press start to go to the menu and then come back to the game, all the graphics go crazy and when you click select to see the map and go back to the game everything is alright. I hope to see a fix on this on the next release.

[dman32]

I have the same problem with Zelda...the bushes won't go away.

[bosanova_x]

Im very impressed with this emu,i've had some fun and games getting various roms to work as have other people no doubt.

megaman zero

metal slug advance

castlevania aos

[Pumped'Up]

Simply breath-taking. Thanks for this unbelievably amazing emu Exophase!!!!

:D

[uudem]

The emulator wasn t working with me but now it is
If u wanna know exactly what I did go cheq inthe HELP forum

[Kvonx]

For 1.00 users jus unrar and replace this with the eboot in the gpsp folder.

For 1.50 jus unrar then copy to game folder!!

Hey its better than an empy pik, try it its cool:cool:

[uudem]

did the ziped roms work with anybody??????

[Pumped'Up]

Whatever is causing the bushes/grass in Zelda Minish Cap not to work (i.e. not cut down/disappear) is hopefully going to be fixed in the next release. It is strange that it is happen for this rom - but this game does run blazingly fast without any fram skipping. Audio is fantastic, a little crackly at points but nonetheless outstanding.

Can't wait for the next release - truly amazing...

[dman32]

Pumped up I can't say it any better than that. I can't wait for the next release to see if it solves the problem.

What are some other fun games that work well. I haven't played with gba in a long time.

[s075933]

This Is a great release. He has fixed the bug with pokemon when using growl. My roms are working perfect. However Fire emblem freezes for 1 second ending your turn and other places

My favourite GBA game, Fire Emblem seems to be running really well, but there's one nagging graphic issue.

Any one else have this happening:

Whenever you move one of your characters certain areas of the map flash red. It fixes itself after a battle scene though, but will happen each time you move someone.

Words fail me though, on how fricking great this emulator is.

Hmm..maybe I should try a different version.

Are you using the US version?
