gpSP 0.9 - GBA Emulator for the PSP (full speed)

[darkness angel 777]

great job Exophase thanks for the emulator.

[aleex]

Great, Exophase, thank you very much for the work you did in this fantastic emulator. Where i download Zelda ocarina of time plz help!

[Haisook]

The problem is that sprites underneath the layer in mode 4 are being obscured (the layer is being rendered as "base" instead of "transparent"). The mode 3-5 support has always been pretty lacking but at least that's fixed now. If I ever release again it'll be fixed..

I've always liked the music in this game *_*

Well, I'll wait for the next release then.

Thanks a lot for your answer..
Keep up!

[Gazz021]

excellent thanks m8

[ichigok]

thx guys ur d best ^^

[Haisook]

Well,... is there a way to set a default clock speed? Most games play perfectly on 266 MHz. Everytime I set it to that value, and restart gpSP, it gets reverted to 333 MHz.

I'd appreciate any hint.

The value is saved per-game. Be sure to exit gpSP through the menu. If you have been then it's just a matter of setting it once for every game you play.

Buy the game and dump it. Read the rules, we don't support piracy.

I use to have this problem where if I made any changes to the settings, screen size, keys and so on that they wouldn't change. I managed to sort it by deleting the whole folder and downloading again. I think that this error bug is caused when an update is released and you just copy over files instead of doing a clean install. Hope this makes sense?

[`Ty]

Can someone help me?

I do not know how install gpSP09, that isn't for Firmware 1.50.

I tried making an gpSP folder, and putting it into the PSP/Game section, But it wouldn't work.
Help please. :'0

[Haisook]

Exophase & SmashiGit,

I usually quit via the Home button. I'll try the menu bit and report back.

Thanks.

[Haisook]

Well, here I am again.

It won't work. I've tried a lot -- with different variations. I set a clock speed for a game, and then quit. Set a clock speed, returned to game, and then quit. Set a clock speed, load a new game, set a different clock speed, and then quit. Nothing works. It always gets back to 333 MHz. Of course all the quitting this time is via the menu (Exit button).

So, Exophase, please confirm the version attached in the first post of this thread is the latest one because I got the one I use from another source. I'll copy this over the one I have, and remove all CFG files.

Is this a good idea?
Any other files to remove?

Thanks for your continuous follow-up with me.

[Haisook]

Well,..

Is there any chance a new version compatible with Dotstream to be released sometime soon?

[Exophase]

That's highly dependent on whether or not I ever end up having a PSP Slim.

Hey exophase. Thanks so much for this awesome emulator ! you rock :)

Quick question, is there anyway to make gpsp save the last used rom directory? I have then in gpsp/roms but i have to go to the roms directory every time upon startup.

Thanks for all your hard work :thumbup:

AFAIK, this is not possible. I coped with this by putting the roms in the parent directory itself.

Must say that the gpSP interface is somewhat dull in presentation and functionality with respect to other emulators for the PSP around. However, the emulation is almost perfect, no doubt about it.

Well its not impossible, it just isn't implemented yet then I guess. (90% of other emulators have that feature)

Oh well, maybe in v1.0 :D

Dude, get over it. Look at picodrive, no one is complaining over the menu structure of that. Maybe you should be happy that Exophase is even stopping by the PSP forums because he actually likes the gp2x scene better due to PSP owners harrassing him and whining over very little things. If anything, I would like to see the progress so far of gPSP since his blog hasn't been update since the month of May I believe (and because I know he has been adding stuff to the gp2x version of gPSP)...

Thanks Exophase for stopping by these forums (and this thread of yours), I thought you forgot about us over here! OH, I do have a request though. Can we have a Christmas present from you or something to ring in the New Year maybe *hint, hint* ;)!

[Triggerman]

Maybe everyone should donate to Exophase to help the guy getting a Slim & Lite.

Where can we donate?

Would be awesome to see an updated version. :( I'd pay like 30 Dollars.

Dude, that would be a great Idea! I would donate money to him, $60 from me for sure! If people don't want to buy him a slim (I don't know why not), Maybe the few of us who would be willing to donate a little bit could pay for half of the amount needed for Exophase's new slim PSP?
What do you say everyone?
Do you like this idea Exophase?
What's your paypal account so I can donate ;) (yes, I'm serious)!

[Haisook]

I would definitely donate for a newer version that supports Dotstream and has a better interface.

[Exophase]

What's wrong with the interface? If you want graphics and animations and stuff you're at the wrong place, I can't afford to spend memory on things like that (unless you want it to load from files, in which case it'd just be slower to switch to)

[arapozo]

On the compatibility list says that Super Mario Advance 4 works with a patched save. What does it mean?

I agree Exophase, who the **** cares about a "Prettier" interface. Don't bother trying to or listening to the whiners who want one. Look at Picodrive, it's even simpler than yours and runs games fantastically because the dev decided to think simple. I can vouch for many that we would rather have a new gPSP with updated compatibility and fixes rather than a small update with a stupid new interface to appease the few people crying over it. Do what you want to do with your project, listen to the suggestion that you think are best.

I would also like to ask one thing, could you make a donate button on your blog? I and many other will be happy to donate money to you to get a PSP slim or other resources that would allow you to get us all an update! Maybe with us giving you a Christmas present maybe you could give us one in return if you know what I mean ;)!

[Triggerman]

Had a short talk to exophase.
We can donate to him via paypal. :)

PLEASE SUPPORT EXOPHASE!!!!!!!1

Couldn't have said it better myself! Yeah, Exophase if you could set up a way to donate to you I would certainly donate! ( I'm not sure if he already has or not.. So if anyone knows please provide a link? Thanks! )

[Exophase]

I do seriously want to know what ways people find it lacking in functionality though.

[parwat]

Yo chek my message at the psp emulation forum i found a easy solution for the cheats by using visual boy advance and the unofficial gpsp

[V3N0M]

I do seriously want to know what ways people find it lacking in functionality though.

Well it's damn near perfect man! :thumbup: I guess whatever else you would like to add..

Personally I would be thrilled to see ad-hoc ( If it would be possible ), slightly more compatibility, ( Again if its even possible ) and support for PSP Slim TV Out.

Btw- I'm getting paid today so I'll be sure to donate later! ;)

Thanks for everything Exophase!

[Haisook]

Well, I didn't mean by "better interface" a colorful rainbow. I just meant a more intuitive one. For instance; an option for setting a default directory for the roms. But at least, I'd like to see an option for changing the background color. The blue one is pretty boring when displayed all the time. But then again, this is not my highest priority.

The things I really hope to see in the next version is;

1. Full compatibility for Dotstream.
2. A really working save-setttings-for-each game feature.

You've told me, Exophase, that sorting out the Dotstream issue is pretty easy, so what about releasing a version like 0.91 that supports it?

It seems that that is the only game that won't fully work in the current version.

Thanks..

I agree with V3N0M, adhoc could come way later though but I'm thumbs up for the more compatibility and slim TV out function. I would also like to donate to you but you haven't replied to my Email or PM. I got paid today and I want to use my money first on you through donating for a great cause :)!

[fook123]

I cant get this to work on 3.71m33-2 I have 1.50kernel set up. it keeps saying this game cannot be started and it gives me an error code. the same thing happens with daedalus.

[ray_MAN]

This same thing happened to me, except with the 3.52 MM3 firmware. All of my emulators no longer work.

[da1writer]

Wel you both above this post need to make sure you do these three things first:

1) Go into the Recovery menu (fully turn off the PSP by holding the on switch up for 5-10 sec. Hold the R button and while doing that, turn on the PSP). Once in recovery menu, make sure you have your kernal settings to 1.5.
2) Also, when in recovery, make sure you have the sony's iso loader (9660) used so you don't need a umd.
3) Have all plugins off, some plugins actually interfere with the loading of the games, especially vsh plugins.
4) Have GAME and GAME 150 folder in PSP folder for things to run more smoothly?
5) Leave a UMD in the PSP?
6) Install the 1.5 kernal add-on if you have 3.71 M33 firmware. Then do option 1 in my steps.

There you guys go, hope that helps. PM me if you get into any problems.

Anyway, back on topic. I hope Exophase gets a slim soon (I sent him a donation via paypal), I want an X-mas present (some kind of update) from one of the best devs around please :D!

[fook123]

sigh still cant get the emulators to work. :(

[Exophase]

Thanks to da1writer for the donation. If I get halfway ($100) I suppose I'll make up the rest myself towards getting a Slim. Money's a little tight for me right now, but I'd prefer if donations like this don't go to waste.

If I do get a Slim then an initial update would probably be relatively minor, followed by more serious development later. I have to figure out exactly what should be done.

That sounds fantastic Exo! perhaps this wonderful emu will play all games at frameskip 0 (zero) if you know some tricks for the development!!

hopefully we will be able play the next version (if there will be any) on our fat psps with 3.10 OE-A etc.

[sjdrifnfo]

I'm running 3.71 m33

Can't get this emulator to work, been fiddling around with recovery settings, and no matter what, I continually get an error code "80020148".

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

[V3N0M]

Hey where's the paypal link!?

Exophase I've had some problems with my car ( 91 FireBird for those intrested ;) ) and have had to use my last couple of checks to have it fixed but next payday I will donate for sure! How much more money do you need? I'll try to get the rest for yeah!

In order to donate, follow these steps:

1) Go to paypal.com
2) Create an account and add your bank or credit card info so that funds can be used.
3) Then on the home page, click on "Send money" in the bar near the top of the page.
4) Once in the send money page, look to your right of the page and locate the box with lines to put in info.
5) Put [email protected] in the "To :" box, your email in the "From :" box, and put your ammount you want to donate to Exophase in the "Amount" box. Then click the continue button.
Paypal will hold your hand for the rest of the way, pretty simple really!

[sjdrifnfo]

OK, been playing around even more, and tried a different download of the program.
It has to be in the right folder, as I'm now copying it into all the game folders (GAME, GAME150 & GAME 371) yet not one of the programs work. Ive tried changing the kernel from 1.50 to 3.71, but still no luck.
I've also discovered a new error code "8002014C"
I assume that's just from having the game in the wrong folder though...

[Exophase]

I've got over $100 in donations now so I'll go buy a PSP Slim today as I promised, then hopefully I can get things setup over the weekend. I'll probably setup a thread somewhere for discussing what most vital features it should contain.

EDIT: Unfortunately the store I went to didn't have any. I'll probably end up ordering it online.

Bittersweet news. =D I'm really happy there will actually be a new version or even more updates in the future.

Have you opened a thread already?

For me it would be important that gpSP gets fully PSP Slim compatible. IMHO you might even drop support for 1.5 kernel completely and compile it for 3.7x kernel.
TV-Out support from the official side would be nice too. I'd consider buying a TV-cable then. :D

[Exophase]

I need a place to buy a core system from for a good price, maybe someone can recommend one (online). I didn't think they'd be hard to get at retail cost but it is the holiday season afterall...

I might have to wait until January :/

[HybridNinja]

I couldn't seem to find it, but is there anyway to be able to actually put the psp into sleep mode with this running?

[Haisook]

What about a fix to Dotstream incompatibility?

[Exophase]

What about a fix to Dotstream incompatibility?

I'm not releasing a new version until I have a Slim. Nothing is going to change that, even asking several times :P

[jeegee]

Awesome emu :) some ppl are just asshats. Keep up the good work fellas:thumbup::thumbup::p

[bah]

NNNooooooo........ (1.5 user) :)


J/K, if its a hassle to support both and there's a gpSP update for the fat then I'll finally update.

Buying a Slim is not a tough work ，right?

PSP's are really hard to get at retail price right now (they're sold out in stores here as well), and I'm not spending a $150+ premium to get one online unless people want to give another $150+ in donations. It's going to have to wait until they come down.

[!llumInatI]

can someone tell me how i can install this?
i didn't downgrade my psp yet!
and how can i add games or which are included?

Just to help you out a bit more and to show you my support of your work, I sent you a bit more money so you can more easily get your PSP Slim. Just call it a Christmas present from me, hope it helps you out ;)!

[darkhero36]

it dun seem to work on my 3.52 m33 psp. help plx

[dan_cuspi]

that so cool

[dave57]

From Exphase :

Games like Super Mario Advance 3, Riviera and Sword of Mana actually DO work in gpSP, believe it or not. If they don't work for you then you're using the faulty BIOS. Don't argue with me, it's true; the sooner you accept this the sooner you can move on.



I agree with this, once you have the right bios,game like sword of mana just work so fine (i have personnaly played swod of mana for 7h30 now without any problem)

to be honest I use an alternative version now but:

Exophase you're the one that can really upgrade your work now so just go on and bring us the best !!
you have all my respect.

That's awesome man! Exophase sure deserves it. It would be great to see a new update to gpSP. And if there is ever a Slim optimized version that'd be nice too.

gpSP v1.0 ? =(

[Mindauxx]

Hello,

Thank you for this emulator. It is really great, and it is running GBA titles perfectly.

But I didn't manage to execute the original Gameboy titles (the ones from 1989),as well as Gameboy Color titles. ROM files have different extensions offcourse (i.e. *.gb). But as far as as I know and tried, GBA console supports previous 'boys', and also many conventional PC emulators made for GBA also support old 'boys' titles. Is there a possibility to run those old gameboy games on this gpSP 0.9 or other emulator software?
Thank you for answers. Good luck!

Hi.

gpSP cannot currently run GB/GBC ROMs. For that, you will need another emulator, for example Unofficial RIN GB/GBC 1.32 RM (Rewind and Mirror Mod) (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69709) or Masterboy v2.02 (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=73128&highlight=masterboy) (which also runs Sega Master System and Game Gear ROMs). You won't even need a BIOS dump. Just put the ROMs in the rom directory.

Good luck!

Thank you very much. I have allready tried RIN emulator with a "Raging Fighter" ROM. It works very well, and has nice features for coloring and choosing various sizes of the screen.

Good luck!

[Wolfey]

How do I install it? I make a folder, put the Eboot in it, where do I put the rom?

[Panda Bear K]

Hi, does this work on PSP slim machines?

[djbrotherson]

get the latest from pspupdates.qj.net

put the folder in ur game folder

ull need to google gba_bios.bin to use the emulator

i dont know if it works with a slim

[radiansansred]

I have to say that so far, this is the most impressive emulator yet.

I hope to see updates in the future, but until then, I'm good with what I have.

[discombobulated]

Is there a gba emulator for psp that can play gba movies?

[unstoppable_96]

if you get a GBA Movie Rom it should be able to play, havnt tried it though.

[discombobulated]

if you get a GBA Movie Rom it should be able to play, havnt tried it though.

Doesn't seem to work on this emu, or any game that is big, ie, 30mb's. I was wondering if the devs could set an extra swap file on the PSP memory stick and use that for extra memory to play the bigger games.

[Potion]

where's 1.0 version for 3.XX firmware?

[jurkevicz]

not out yet.

[quzar]

And on that note, I think this thread has been open just a bit too long.

[kyo176]

thanks for your hardwork :D

[imsonic]

WTF? Where can I download this? What is the official websit to download cause there is no download here. Did it get removed or something there's no link or anything >_>

[apo126]

good work. thank you!

[shyler]

Just to confirm; Yoshi Topsy Turvy runs perfectly. Of course you have to patch it first to enable the tilt function with L & R.

[vicozzio]

I'm sorry.. where is the download link?
