New PSX-P Version from Yoshihiro - Playstation Emulator for PSP

[DPyro]

Yoshihiro has released anew version of his Playstation Emulator for the PSP, heres a translation from French to English:


Here's a new version of PSX-P emulator PS1 for PSP. Still very far off, Yoshihiro with nevertheless decided to put online this version to give pleasure with those which support it since the beginning. The great news is especially the setting on line of the sources which will make it possible other programmers to join the project.

What's up doc?

This emulator with known a certain number of changes since its first version and Yoshihiro with taken again more once its work with zero.

The last version to date is in fact a version which always turns very slowly but which offers an increased compatibility. Note that the presence of the BIOS is advised and according to plays' that goes better with or without. For FFVII, you will have to be armed with patience because starting is long, very long, really very long but it goes… (with the BIOS scph1001.bin).

We count on you to give us returns and to offer a new list of compatibility in our forum.

Awesome im gnna test it now.

[modcase]

Nice catch, thanks!

[scarph]

its slow as fudge
but progress none the less

[gunntims0103]

o yea finally a officail new release and it has a source.

[wolfpack]

i smell a long thread coming

[Xiofire]

MGS hangs on this one too :(
-Xiofire

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Cool thxs gonna test it now :).

[mavsman4457]

I'm glad this thing has a source so others can take over and give us even more PSX emu's.

[scarph]

dont bother testing
i cant notice a difference from the last release

[aries2k4]

Ya, source code. way to go Yoshi. maybe a few devs will also work on it. But there is progress in this release. There is improvement on the graphics.

[XioN980]

It says CPU dynarec but exophase just checked the source, there is none. Not even an incomplete one

[Zion]

sweet, at least the source was released this time :D

[ab88]

Yay

[christophe]

ha lol....tekken 3 mini rip runs ingame approx 1-3 fps...
castlevania sotn gets up to konami logo...and memory stick light flashes...but nothing more

[eat]

does anyone know how long it will take before this is at a playable speed?

[wolfpack]

uh oh, i think zion is getting ideas :P

[Mr. Shizzy]

I tested Puzzle Bobble. It played for about 5 mins without crashing. Then I turned it off. Nobody should expect playable games with this, but it is nice to see it released. (with source this time) It seems to be slightly more solid than the 1st build. Keep it up yoshi. :)

[jools]

Nice work.

I played tekken2 and it was about 4-6fps

im rippin another game to test so ill reply on that tommorow...
(ill try and find all my ffs later so I can test speed)

[scarph]

this will never work
never faster than daedulus (excuse my spelling i dont have time to look it up)

uhh notice how that n64 emu has stopped being updated

the psp just doesnt have the power

[dankbeats]

Castlevania: sotn actually runs fine but very slow. I got into the prologue chapter of the game but turned it off before i got to dracula since it was so slow.

[Anger]

It says CPU dynarec but exophase just checked the source, there is none. Not even an incomplete one
my my, yoshi lied again? wow what a surprise.[/sarcasm]

[gunntims0103]

uhh notice how that n64 emu has stopped being updated

djk21108, dont you think your being a bit "negative":o

im a little angry that yoshi didnt implament the dynarec like he said. I think if he just put that he didnt ppl wouldnt think less of him. He should know that ppl are going to take a look at his source

[Philo1001]

i got Final Fantasy Tactics to work, but obviously very, very slow

[scarph]

nah,
it seems like sony cant even make the ps1 emu
theyre stalling

just dont get your hopes up anyone
just stick with old systems

[DPyro]

my my, yoshi lied again? wow what a surprise.[/sarcasm]
In the make file
## Not Yet But Soon : -DPSP_DYNAREC

He is probably working on that now.

[wraggster]

the dynarec isnt easy to get working, as far as i know no coder on the 3 projects has managed to get a dynarec working

[DCergo]

the psp just doesnt have the power


The PSP has plenty of power for it. Porting an emu designed for PCs isn't going to do it. It requires work and capable coder(s) to write it from the ground up.

I guess someone better inform Sony that their official PS1 emu doesn't have the power either...

[green-machine]

Gran Turismo works but very slow... too slow!
No vroooom, more like chug chug!

But yet again i'm impressed at the amount of effort people are putting in to the homebrew scene.
Well done!

[Heero808]

Tested it with gundam battle assalt one and its kinda playable but menus are slow gonna try the squel now
EDIT: doest work it freezes at the bandai screen:( Junk

[domthegod]

its f**king brilliant mutch mutch fater that the last one its atuelly playerble

[emuking]

i just got my wii im playing zelda as im typing this!
anyways great news that he included the source code :D

[dagger89]

this will never work
never faster than daedulus (excuse my spelling i dont have time to look it up)

uhh notice how that n64 emu has stopped being updated

the psp just doesnt have the power

For the PS1 emulator, it has MORE THAN ENOUGH power....

N64, most likely not PERFECT, but pretty close... 80-90% speed with sound & minor graphical errors

[mr.oddball]

nah,
it seems like sony cant even make the ps1 emu
theyre stalling

just dont get your hopes up anyone
just stick with old systems


what are you talking about, last time i checked, sony's emu's speed is fine. they're stalling to work on either compression of games or controller mappings, or somethin like that.

[hlide]

the third being what ? if you are speaking about YAPSxP, you are wrong in one point : I do have a working dynarec, I don't have a working emulator.

Oh, yeah why I don't bother to add this dynarec on a working emulator ? because it would ruin all my efforts to make a fullspeed emulator.

By the way, if someone knows where I could find the source of an OpenGL GPU plugin which really works, I would be glad to rewrite it with GE on my project. The only two sources I have seems to be very incomplete sadly.

[emuking]

i have a wii and playing zelda right now :D
anyways its great that he included the source code

[Kvonx]

Well...........atleast he tried, we support his efforts

[darknight88]

ok ppls just tried jet moto 2 and its playable but slow,also i think its better if you boot the game w/out the Bios logo option(x)

tried blasto! but it freezes on the "piracy" boot screen thing.

[wraggster]

accept my apologies, i just assumed, nice to know you have a working dynarec though :)

[Lodis]

I am not going to bother trying this one out. It is clearly obvious that only a Psx emulator coded from scratch with a working Dynarec will be anything near playable and that would be an extremely difficult and time consuming task. However, I have faith that it is possible, especially after Exophase's ground breaking GBA emulator. Either way, it is great to see people putting in time and effort to improve on homebrew. I am grateful to all people who contribute regardless of how big or small a contribution.

[kiore]

oh yeah ! bout to try it

[DPyro]

This emu is fine, graphics are good. Just needs dynarec and sound ;)

[Vega]

i have a wii and playing zelda right now :D


And exactly what does that have to do with this emulator?

[aYu][Takeshi]

does anyone know how long it will take before this is at a playable speed?
This one? Never...

[sroon]

ok FF8 doesnt get past opening video! ohh well il try some more games
( O ) ( O )

[AtariFreek]

Driver gets past the Checking Mem. Cards Screen. Freezes whene you just start to drive around.

[magixien]

Just an tip:

Try to start a game with and without BIOS, the two ways can be a slution. :-)

[JKKDARK]

without bios it doesn't work -_-

[carlitx]

kool testing as we speak with street fighter 2 alpha!

[darknight88]

wild 9 stops at loading screen

crash 3 stays at main menu,cant do anything.

[carlitx]

speed is still a bit slow but realy good job dude this pretty sweet. just knowing that this is possible makes it so s awsom for the psp, sony got nothin on you guys haha.

PS is the next version gonna have sound(rehtorical)

[sroon]

OMG FF7 is pretty much playable!
( O ) ( O )

[The King]

It Seems To Have Many Problems

[gunntims0103]

OMG FF7 is pretty much playable!
( O ) ( O )

no seriously:eek:

[Vega]

OMG FF7 is pretty much playable!
( O ) ( O )

why dont I believe you????

[sroon]

NO NO I just have patance guys!
Im just soo happy! Its playable for me!
( O ) ( O )

[Vega]

NO NO I just have patance guys!
Im just soo happy! Its playable for me!
( O ) ( O )

:D Enjoy!
FFVII sure as hell would be great.. Im just not that patient :)

[JD/]

I think this emu is playable its just some people are more impatient than others

[x-zero]

I really hate those who talk BS about Yoshihiro Hey Yoshi thanks again.

[watupgroupie]

oh wow cool i was waiting for this yoshi has my complete support along with all the other coders trying to make a ps1 emu i don't think its a fight to who can make a better emu and faster i think we should work together but ya know that's just me and not everyone thinks like that. well anyway off to try some games.

[Jonesyxxiv]

i have a wii and playing zelda right now :D
anyways its great that he included the source code
Dont rub it in.:( I didnt get a Wii.:( :( :(

[neovlace]

I really hate those who talk BS about Yoshihiro Hey Yoshi thanks again.

I thought he quit the scene????? I guess he was lying about that too. Gret qork on the emu, I just wish it had less drama. The "he said, they said" bullsnip is ridiculous, and sadly, it always seems to be about Yoshihiro.

Still, he has done a good job!

[darknight88]

sorry for dumb Q but how do you take a screen shot???

[Mazu]

Yoshihiro did leave. As a kind act to us, he decided to finish PSXP and then never do another thing for PSP thanks to the flamers.

[nyrtrublue]

Thank you yoshi for showing dedication to the tru fans of yours im gonna test this now

[Ewin24]

Ahh...you kept your promise yoshi. Awesome!
heh, it's slow, but it's fricken progress!!
Hells yes!!!

[mr.oddball]

just tried CTR, in .bin/.cue format. whether you choose bios or not, the game freezes at the SCEA screen after loading for 10 mins. :(

[Jmanpsp]

YOSHI IS THE MAN

GREAT JOB ON THE PSX EMU now i can play all my digimon games and other games i like


ps. how u play 3 disc games lol

[animekid4]

that is a good questioin.....my guess fuse three psps and make a super omega psp!!!!!that runs at 999mgs!

[psp411]

nice yoshi... i like the progress and th effort.Ill try this tmr tho... skool tmr n im tired-.-

[Basil Zero]

i think i'll get on with the PSX scene once a good compatiable and speed worthy emu comes out lol

[LAMPRO]

this is a long experimental process that will mos likely come to an abrupt end when the ps3 ps1 emu is out. at which point some sorta breakthrough idea by either an obscure or very popluar coder/devr (maybe yoshi!) will bless the psp wit the knawlej. till then the ms is vying for air. evrything wants to be on my ms. theres no room for evrything!! lol..

[nyrtrublue]

how can i upload videos ill take a couple i already took one of crash bash i just dont know how to post them

[mavsman4457]

I think that Booster will first devhook 3.00 and people will temporarily buy into those PS1 games. Then sometime the homebrew scene will develop a PS1 emu that will put sony's to shame and people will switch over to that one because it will have more features and any game that you want for free. I for one will definately use the devooked 3.00 but I sure won't buy the games.

[CaptainMorgan4]

I'm not trying to get in any trouble but just so I'm sure you HAVE to get PSX games from torrents? If this is not allowed to be answered I'll delete it quick, but I"m just trying to get this question answered. I'm not asking WHERE to get them.

[dagger89]

No, you can dump them if you have a computer with a CD drive, the game disk, and necessary software...

Alcohol 120 can create an iso for you...

If you don't have PSX games, go to the used section of your favorite video game store...

There are no working PSX torrents that will work with this emulator (just kidding, but you shouldn't pirate games)

[CaptainMorgan4]

I got some old PSX games, you got someone that can make me an ISO out of them? Is there an easy program you can use to put them on your pc, can you help me. I just want 2 games, I got good copies!

[dagger89]

http://www.alcohol-soft.com/

Just use the trial version

[CaptainMorgan4]

Thanks alot really, I appreciate it!

[X-MOD GHOST]

has anyone tried final fantasy ehrgiez fighting game? i own it but i was wondering if it was worth wasting time to back it up? thanks in advance
ps
yes i did check the comp. list BEFORE posting ;) thanx all :D

errrm good to see you X-MOD GHOST. i dont think its worth trying to back it up cause at this point the emu is still a bit slow and not up to par. this is why i wont back up any of my games at the moment

[opiate81]

great job yoshi!!
keep up the good work its very much appreciated!!

[hahahaha]

i personally am glad we are at least seeing a psx emu release. all the hype over ps1p (which still has yet to be released) left me wanting SOMETHING. great job yoshi. progress is progress, no matter how small. now we'll just have to wait until other psx emus start popping up :-)

[SnesR0X]

nice comment:) but hahahaha? interesting name:p
anyway, im glad to see someting too, and when te official emu comes out it will help us to develop one too.

[X-MOD GHOST]

did you know you can do the restart 2 :D just like old ps1 :) hold start select Triangle, [ ],O,X,L,R to RESTART WHILE IN GAMEPLAY ;)

thanx guntims ;)
well i tried my toshinden backup and i can play the game and i can still kik @ss even if it IS agonizingly slow like guntims said its still none the less very very impressive and when the dynamic recompiler is tweaked to do its job it will be a true milestone this has nearly perfect gfx in toshinden with the exception of a few background glitchyness...and there is a nice lil speed boost from the original one i tryed i think...last time it wasnt actually PLAYABLE per say...so id lable this a SOLID BETA :D even though its creator says " dont judge me!" ROFLMAO good stuff...good times ...lol...peace...love and chicken grease dont let your meat loaf im out for the night :)

QUESTION
is there a way to fix the fact that the player one and too padd configgs are both controled with your buttons instead of JUST PLAYER ONE the controls ACT FOR P1 and P2 ?! will this be a quick fix i wonder???

[hack.fool]

wow thanx for the release..it's a pleasure to test a psx emu :D

[MarcusOF]

Hi. First of all, thanks Yoshi for bringing this emu out, with all the hype it's nice to actually have a hands on experiance with a ps1 emu.

Question though. the version says 1.5 firmware. Does this emu work on other firmware's? namely 2.0?

I'm using 2.0 firmware with the 0.99 eLoader TIFF and when needed i use GTA to get better compatebility.

I first took the PSXP folder and put it in my games directory and started it up with the TIFF, the eboot loads fine and comes up with the menu. When i press start it loads up the bios and i get the sony logo but then it stays there. It doen't continue to the ps1 menu it just stay's with the logo.
It's the same when using GTA (Although i do notice the logo animation is a bit faster). I used psp Brew to convert the 1.5 eboot to a 1.0 eboot and did the whole process again only giving me the same result. A nice sony logo on screen but nothing more. Again using psp brew i coverted the 1.0 to a 2.x comaptible eboot and tried again. No difference, still loads the logo but doesn't continue.

I have FF7 on the ms and also tried to load that. but it just keeps giving me the same, only a sony logo. When i load FF7 with pressing x in the menu skipping the bios logo it just gives me a black screen, no loading light or nothing, just a black screen.

Any advice guy's cause i'd really like to see what this emu is like.

If you're at 2.00 why not upgrade to DA's 2.71 SE all the benefits of 1.50 + the goodies 2.71 has to offer once you do you wont look back.

[MarcusOF]

If you're at 2.00 why not upgrade to DA's 2.71 SE all the benefits of 1.50 + the goodies 2.71 has to offer once you do you wont look back.

That really sounds very interesting, any chance you can point me in the right direction to get this done right and where i can find some good info on how to do this and how it works? I really like to read up on this before i go switch firmwares. I currently have a lot of emu's up and running on the 2.0 and would hate to loose that compatibility.

[Baboon]

I’ll give this emu a blast once I finish work.

At last I can play (well... sort of boot them up) a few PS games on my PSP. Judging by the response though from a few of ya on here the emu is still super slow, but hey... at least its a start to Playstation emulation, and a release that we can all test out.

I hope AC will top this news by finally releasing a public beta for us of his PS emu... I know its wishful thinking, but I'm an optimist! lol

There’s loadsa of stuff being developed and worked on at the mo, I’d say the homebrew scene is defo alive and kicking! :)

[DPyro]

BAM3 would be one of the easiest and best games to test with this ;)

[Dannyboy1234]

Great job Yoshihiro! finaly got some of the best rpg games ever to work on the psp! Thanks:D

[jools]

Nice Rat Attack (my first ever psx game) works at a playable speed. I've not played it in soo long and playing it on the psp's great.:thumbup:

well done on the emulator

[S34MU5]

:( No mgs, im not even gona download.

[The_Ultimate_Eggman]

Theres a complete noob freindly installer version available via this site or if you have trouble locating one pm me and i will sort you out no problem m8.And as for compatibility problems 99.9% of hb works snes TYL/neo geo/cps1&2 ect all good on 2.71 se.

[kiariki]

It has to be pretty hard to play anything, though, right? I can't test it out cuz I'm still using the sample memory stick (I'll eventually buy a huge one)...

Is it like Daedulus where you have to set things up prior to loading the game?

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

thx, keep it up!!!!!

[Baboon]

BAM3 would be one of the easiest and best games to test with this ;)

According to the compatibilty thread:

Bust A Move 3 - Works
Bust a Move 4 - works but runs really slow

[CaptainMorgan4]

Hi on page 8 someone helped me about backing up one of my PSX games using Alcohol 120% (trial version). I installed the trial version but am very confused on to where to go from here, can someone please come to my aid again?

[Briggzy11]

Least theres a source...

[CaptainMorgan4]

Could you possibly help me? (my question 2 posts above)

[Joe100517]

This is an awesome release! I bet it won't be long now until we're actually getting speeds that will be playable. It will definitely will be amazing since I don't want to pay Sony just so I can play the giant stack of psx games I want to replay on the go.

[watupgroupie]

Hi on page 8 someone helped me about backing up one of my PSX games using Alcohol 120% (trial version). I installed the trial version but am very confused on to where to go from here, can someone please come to my aid again?
ok i personally do not use alchohol 120% for backing up ps1 game i use a very easy to use program called isoproducer just google it it's usually one of the first one's to come up. it made to rip ps1 games so put in your disk open that program configure your plugin (which is very easy to do and even comes with the plugin.) and hit the button which say's make iso and then take that file and put it on your psp and run it :)

[watupgroupie]

i know double post but if anyone else has asteroids i strongly reccomend it i even got into the gameplay and it works just fine and can anyone explain why in spyro the dragon when it say's checking for mem.cards it never get's past that screen. and in crash bandicoot warped it get's stuck on the menu strange. well yoshi keep up the good work i'm rootin for you.

[Deshevy]

Chrono Trigger runs really slow
Silent hill runs really slow
megaman x5 runs really slow

[gtgpeople]

can anyone tell me how to rip the game off the cd and play it on the psp. i have no clue how to do this. i tried a couple of times but it would not boot :( can anyone explain does not have to be long just a quick guide would be nice

[Deshevy]

use isoproducer to rip the cd into the iso format its the easiest and quickest
the progam is freeware so just look in google

[Cho Aniki]

Einhänder runs pretty good , intro works , ingame graphics looks good the emu just needs a bit more speed:)

[gtgpeople]

well i tried to use iso producer and no luck the program crashs on me everytime i start it. also what is the difference between a ps1 cd and a psx cd b/c i have both type of cd and dont remember which is which

[CaptainMorgan4]

Thanks alot Deshevy & Watupgroupie I'm going to go and try isoproducer now!

[CaptainMorgan4]

In the plugin what should I make the interface? I know I have windows xp and it says 2 things for xp scci commands? or raw something?

[CaptainMorgan4]

Okay I changed the bios and now I can get the Sony logo thing to come up when I hit "o" but I just get a black screen when I try Nascar 2000 or RE:2 (Leon). Is it possible that my discs are the problem that the game isn't playing? I'm trying a different game soon, but I just get a black screen when trying to play the games. Can someone please help me, maybe tell me the plugin settings I should have when using ISO Producer. Please if someone could please help me I'd appreciate it alot. I'm very educated in other homebrew it's just ISO's and PSX emulation is new to me.

[Deshevy]

Iso Producer settings
Interface: w2k/xp scsi commands
choose correct hard drive
Read mode: use auto detect
cacheing mode: use smooth read for 100% drive efficency
and dont read subchannels
Then pop in psx game and make iso

[Deshevy]

legend of mana- works slow looks nice

Oh that explains it. It's a placeholder.

:rolleyes:

[CaptainMorgan4]

Thanks a bunch Deshevy it's nice to find someone that will actually help. I'm usually the one helping others so it's wierd being on the other side. I know everything except this ISO stuff so, but I have one more question if you'de be so kind. I downloaded a backup to my PSX game Tomba! It came in 6 parts (all winrar files) and inside every file it looks like this:

Tomba.ccd......Size 789
Tomba.img......Size 280,193,760
Tomba.sub......Size 11,436,480

Now they all have these three ^^ things and the sizes match in all but the "packed" sizes are different. What should I do to get it to be an ISO or whatever so I can play it? I'm making a new RE2 as we speak with the new plug-in settings so we'll see how it goes. After it's done just throw the file into my ISO folder right, I don't have to do anything after that?

Edited: OMG RE2 works that's just crazy! Thanks alot Deshevy I do think it was my settings for the plugin that had me not getting past the SCE logo. I'm confident in making ISO's now I just need to get this Tomba downloading stuff working now!

[Deshevy]

Converting the cd image files into an iso is rough to do
I havent managed to get the conversion to work properly.
But if you want to try you can use alcohol 120 or magicIso but i dont think its going to work.
Its alot easier to get the iso using iso producer with the ps1 cd cuz the files tend to corrupt when you mess oround with converting other formats.
sweet I never knew it could play .img files
gotta try star ocean 2

[JD/]

psx-p can load .img files just like a normal iso.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Oh word then I should just put that .img file in there? According to the compatability list RE2 only gets to the menu but I'm into the opening movie scene as we speak, and it's still going. I hope it makes it to gameplay!

[CaptainMorgan4]

Omg I'm into gameplay and I can actually play!

[Mr.Denny]

Alright, gonna try this baby out now. :)

Good to see he released the source also! ;)

[CaptainMorgan4]

I died asap first try, I left hold on and didn't hit it quick enough and I got attacked. I'll try again.

[Accordion]

hmm, there is progress, and im grateful...but it seems the documentation does not apply to this build

no memory card or save state?

im not complaining, but it isnt correct information

[animekid4]

does anyone know why the ISOs take up so much space?

[porchemasi]

because they are backups of entire cd-r 650-700mb

[animekid4]

ok...................even though i didnt understand what u said ill rely on it

[CaptainMorgan4]

I have gotten far in Tomba! and I would like to save, but it doesn't read for a memory card how can I save? It says there's savestates so how do I do it?

edit: I see it's "L+R+START" to savestate.

[JD/]

hold L and R and press start to savestate also hold L and R an press select to load savestate.

[tuta]

Tried it but I cant save any games keeps tellin me memory card not inserted properly
savestates very slow and FF tactics aint 2/3 the speed as stated in the psxp compat list more like 1/5 of speed

regardless FF tactics look beautiful on mah psp so keep up the good work yoshi cant wait for a better release with double the speed so I can play FFT

[CaptainMorgan4]

Does anyone know when Yoshi plans on adding the Dynarec engine? I have gotten far into RE2 but for some reason I can't find the button to shoot. I've tried everything, I can't find the button to like aim the gun, it must be R2 which doesn't work. It says R2 is the "music note" button but it's not working for me, any help?

Heh....u and I must have different versions cause mine still wont work.>.<.......I wanna play it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo bad:( :( :( :(It wont even start......

[CaptainMorgan4]

Try backing your copy up, that is if you haven't already. If so then go download a different one.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Can anyone help me with aiming the gun in RE2, what's the button for aiming it on PSX I forget. It has to be R2 because the music note button isn't working for me (as R2, it does NOTHING). I could get far into RE2 but I have to run by all the zombies, I got as far as a little past the bus and that's it.

[CaptainMorgan4]

I played Tomba! today for like 2 hours it was still fun, I got really far and my save feature works great! Even after deleteing the ISO off the memory card the savestate still works after putting the ISO back on. Anyway can someone still help me with my RE2 problem? (look at the post above)

[Joe100517]

I don't really know how to help you out, CaptainMorgan4... but when you're running the games how good are they playing? Is it slow, but playable with patience or like... really bad, because most of them weren't really working....

[CaptainMorgan4]

RE2 isn't all that bad really, graphics are 100% it's just slow. Speed is very nice compared to other ISO's I just wish I could play, since I can't shoot any zombies it's hard to stay alive. Tomba! is slower but with alot of patience it can be done. I was very surprised at how long the emulator hold up though, I left it on for like 2 hours and came back and it was fine. The savestate works great, I'm trying Metal Slug X now but it's not working. If you have this game also Joe could you make an ISO and throw it my way I can see if it works for me?


ps. Joe what psx games do you have?

[Mr. Cholo]

hey any one know if this will mess up my dev hook cuz the last version messed up my devhook

[Jpdeathblade]

My dechook got all scewy too but i never downloaded this sorry =/

As for Resident Evil 2 R1 lifts your arm and x is to shoot while your aim is raised.
I am actually going to try this now as I thought, o this will be like before but I can see that Re2 works now =P

EDIT: Great Work everyone, I love this i can play my fav game!!!
PS for some reason R1 dosent work... I cant raise the gun in RE2. So i think this is a problem in the emulator

[hlide]

CaptainMorgan4 :
----------------------
Please check my binary and tell me if R2 is okay :
http://hlide.free.fr/download/PSP/psxp-L2+R2.zip

don't forget to put your bios (schp1001.bin or schp7502.bin) in ms0:/PSX/bios and rename it as "bios.bin".

When you read "bios.bin loaded." press X to go on.

EDIT: i'm testing my PAD1 code and added L2+R2 handling, so I just want to know if you can play with because I have no psx games which needs L2 and R2.

[Malksta]

They are dummy files, no prob

[Mr. Cholo]

its still pretty slow but sum games are still playable, it did get somewhat faster than the last version

[hlide]

are you speaking about the binary i released ? so L2 and R2 work well as they must do ? I'm doubtful it runs faster since I don't change anything else PAD1 code and I'm very doubtful my PAD1 code will speedup everything globally (time passed on PAD1 code is nothing compared to the rest).

[CaptainMorgan4]

Hlide I downloaded that file you put in your last post but the bios and the schp1001.bin and schp7502.bin were nothing. They all have a filesize of 0kb? It's wierd could you post it again? I'm still not sure what your doing, what did you do edit the bios so the analog stick is the movement and the dpad is the R2,L2, & combo?

[3025826]

omg, thank you soo much. It is my dream to play ff7 on my psp and on the last emulator it went green and stupid. I'll test and try to remember to post my results. THANK YOU YOSHIRO

Ohh yeah.... the sony emulator kinda blows. you have to have a ps3...................................

[hlide]

i cannot release the true bios, you must have oneof two scph1001.bin (JA) or scph7502 (US) and rename it bios.bin in ms0:/psx/bios.

[hlide]

and this a recompiled version where i change the code to emulate a PAD1 and handle analog pad as well to emulate L2 and R2 using analog pad the same way SONY PS1 "emulator" does.

what you just need is :
- to backup your previous ms0:/psp/game/psxp and ms0:/psp/game/psxp%
- to unzip my archive to the root of ms0:/
- to add you true bios in ms0:/psx/bios/ and rename it bios.bin.
- to launch psxp.

Don't forget to press X after the message "bios.bin loaded." to go on.

[aries2k4]

Sounds good hlide. lol, you found time to tweak this emu.

[CaptainMorgan4]

I have the PSX bios the schp1001.bin (I thought it was US, everything comes up in english?) but I'm unsure what your saying I should do. I'm going to try it anyway, I'll see what happens.


After Attempt: I'm incredibly confused/frustrated I'm unsure what your saying to do, you said "to unzip my archive to the root of ms0:/" when your zip folder basically contains NOTHING, all it's files are 0kb so wtf?

[hlide]

nope, i check my archive : it is okay.

but when you unziped all, you must then replace the fake bios.bin (0 Kb) by the true one (512KB) that you have at home. As I already told I cannot put the real bios and release since it is illegal

[hlide]

and please be sure not to erase the previous directoties psxp and psxp% because my archive just replace both eboots so you need other files. Just take the bios you can find in ms0:/psp/game/psxp/bios and copy it in ms0:/psx/bios/ to replace the fake bios.bin.

[hlide]

Sounds good hlide. lol, you found time to tweak this emu.

L2 and R2 works ?

[CaptainMorgan4]

Alright I think I finally got what you were saying and I'm trying it now.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Alright I'm not sure if I had the setup right so I'm going to go over what I had done.

MS/PSX/BIOS/bios.bin (512kb) (was my scph1001.bin, but renamed it like you said)

MS/PSP/GAME/PSXP/ISO/RE2
MS/PSP/Game/%PSXP

Then I ran the emulator and clicked x when the thing came up, everything came on fine but I couldn't move with the analog still had to use the dpad, the controls didn't change. The PSXP folders in game were your eboots to. I don't know?


Ps. Should I have the scph1001 bios, is that the Japanese one because everything is in english, should I use the other one? Is the other one US?

[hlide]

Alright I'm not sure if I had the setup right so I'm going to go over what I had done.

you should really read the file readme.txt :

to do a L2 : you must use analog pad left
to do a R2 : you must use analog pad right
to do a L2+R2 : you must use analog pad up

so if you want to do R2, just use analog pad right.

I never say that analog pad may be used as a d-pad.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Oh my bad I just stated it wrong, I did that and it didn't work for me, but all the files were put in right?

[hlide]

Oh my bad I just stated it wrong, I did that and it didn't work for me, but all the files were put in right?

oh yes i think i knwo why it doesn't work, it seems I forget to reverse the bits states for L2 and R2... well i will have a look on it after work.

Please forget this archive, it needs a bug-fix.

[CaptainMorgan4]

No problem we'll try tomorrow or whatever, but is there any way you can make it so I don't have to re-arrange my files to try your version? Somehow just make it so I have to change the eboots or something?

[Joe100517]

The savestate works great, I'm trying Metal Slug X now but it's not working. If you have this game also Joe could you make an ISO and throw it my way I can see if it works for me?


ps. Joe what psx games do you have?

I don't have MSX... I do have all of my old playstation games though, I never got rid of any of them. Most of them are RPGs.. Final Fantasy(s), Tales of Destiny, Star Ocean... stuff like that.

[CaptainMorgan4]

You don't happen to have Tomba 2 do you?

[jimyugbob]

what eboot loader should i use for v2.00 so that I can use iso's

[jimyugbob]

with this psxp

[Joe100517]

You don't happen to have Tomba 2 do you?

Nope, sorry.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Thanks anyway Joe, Jimy you should downgrade to a 1.5 psp. And to Hlide I sent you the RE2 link, go check your PM's.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Just let me be the first person to get that build Hlide, got to go but I'll be back in a few hours.
