Ruka's Unofficial Snes9xTYL++ ( BETA) - Snes Emulator for PSP

[Chameleon]

Ruka's Site (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG)

This is Ruka's modification to Yoyofr's Snes emulator for the psp

Bugfixes are not apparent and/or stated as the source is in japanese. But I have tried Super Mario World and have noticed a great improvement upon speed from the prior release!!!

Enjoy, and remember to give feedback on any differences you notice besides GUI

Download at the official site above

[gelon]

I'm trying it, thanks!!

[mat_dizzy]

w00t! Whohoo cmon! Downloading now! Thank you :)

[gelon]

I tried Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing and it has the same optimization as ME normal one. It goes well if you disable 'Ignore Palette Writes' but ... sky goes out

[chainsawz]

mwah, hahaha, now i can play zelda, donkey knog, and all my best freinds...
im weird

[gelon]

The sound bug when loading savestates has been fixed (there was a trick before to fix it, but now we dont have to do anything)

[Airdevil]

its a LOT easier to use the home button now

All the roms are basically perfect speed that ive tried.

[g00gy]

There are no speed improvements yet. Star ocean and Bahmut lagoon still have slowdowns.

[Sonicboy 101]

Nice, i'm gonna try this!

[Buddy4point0]

yep, way more roms work correctly! this rocks!

[Mc_Logical]

Cool genna try it, i like to test new emulators like this, damn been awhile for snes

[Vangar]

Super Mario World? I had that playing full speed with 0 frame skip on the last official release?

[hack.fool]

this beta have big improvement:
-by default running at 300 Mhz (and not 333, you can change in the menu)
-by default sound is set to 44100 Hz
-almost all games now run without frameskip so you can leave it to 0
i'm playin Super mario Kart and in Time Trial run fullspeed at 55/60 fps O_o
ruka rules!

[Killer Bee]

Nice work! Downloading now...

[NoQuarter]

awesome ruka,I was just telling my friend that snes hadn't been updated in a while and this comes out!!!

[fucht017]

The opening theme song from Tales of Phantasia stil have crackling sound.....But some games realy go faster....nice improvement on this great Snes emu(Still love those RPG's...):thumbup:

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Great.

The download's broken.

What fun.

Can someone mirror it?

[ab_geee_eee]

great thanks for this. I love snes.

[Jonesyxxiv]

Some games that were unplayablly slow before work perfectly, like sword of mana 2.

[S34MU5]

Maybe a reason to dig out my PSP

[The Hombrew Hunter]

Nevermind.

Just had to download it about 3 times.

Super Mario Kart is almost full speed on 1 frameskip without missing frames, fullspeed on 2 frameskip with some missing frames.

Seiken Densetsu 3 is friggin' perfect.

Rockman and Forte, Megaman 7...

So friggin' awesome.

[danger1984]

:confused:

[kharaboudjan]

nice to see.. its the speed that we need for the snes emu :)

[RV2006]

This is awesome!
I've tried a few games and at the moment I have this to say about them:

Mario Kart: Works alot better, full speed when frameskip is 2 (but slightly jittery)
Puzzle Bobble: Works perfect when frameskip is 2
Megaman X (E): Now works pefectly! 50fps with sound! (used to be arouund 40..)
Kirby super star: Now Its actually playable, but is still slow when frameskip is 3 (about 35-40fps), and very slow in the intro and start screen
Donkey Kong country: Pretty much fullspeed at frameskip 3 (but is a bit slow at the first level, but full 50 in other levels?)
F-ZERO: Fullspeed with frameskip 1 (YAY!)
Pilotwings: Unfortunate to say that it is still quite slow even with framskip 1-3, but still playable
Side pocket: not sure if there were any problems with this one, but it works full speed!
Super Ghouls and Ghost: Now working fullspeed YAY! (no frameskip!)
Super street fighter 2 - the new challengers: FULLSPEED! NO FRAMESKIP! HIYA!
Super Mario RPG: Works good but I sugesst using framskip for this one! (around 3)

This new emulater is awesome huh?
(I think I might make a compatibility list for it!)

unfortunately Starfox and Stunt Race fx are still as slow as my grandma...

but maybe one day....

[g00gy]

Frameskip makes the game jittery and choppy. thats to much of a turnoff for me.

[RV2006]

frameskip 1 and 2 aint so bad
although 3 is quite jittery,
but really it depends on how sprite heavy a game is

oh and a little update:
Megaman 7: Full speed! (no frameskip)

Haven't tried it but its likely that Megaman and Bass works fullspeed as well!

EDIT:
Yoshi's cookie: Fullspeed (no frameskip)
Tetris & Dr Mario: Fullspeed! (no frameskip!)

[newmarcom]

Ogre Battle and Tetris Attack has slowed down to barely playable in this version, even with 333mhz and frameskip.

[Auriman1]

Major improvements. :)

[kharaboudjan]

i tried it out right now.. and i can promise that there is absolutely NO DIFFRENECE from SNESTYL 0.4 ME!!!

perhaps u guys havent tried SNESTYL 0.4 ME for so long so you have forgotten how it was?

[jvabbdac]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???

[Gold Line]

well i did not see any change to secret of mana but chrono trigger play much faster and smoother :)

[neosayuki]

Any SNes9x release is awesome.

[RV2006]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???

Where exactly does it crash?
I've been playing it and it hasn't crashed so far,
(but it did slow down when you first control X)
(currently at stage select screen...)

[Auriman1]

I think the main difference between this version and the last is finally having implementation of the SuperFX chip, helping games such as Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby Super Star, etc. run much smoother than before.

[Gold Line]

and the home button works now :)

[Veskgar]

I'm confused since this is on Ruka's site. Is this Ruka's adaptation of the latest source code from yoyofr for the Snes9xTYL 0.4.2 ME emulator?

Or is this a different emulator and not part of the new updates yoyo was talking about working on soon?

I wouldn't mind different Snes9xTYL emulators as it may speed up progress in a friendly competitive sort of way.

Is there network play on this version? Thanks to anyone who answer any of my questions.

[Chameleon]

ruka worked on the nes emulator if you recall, i assume he has taken this on... I really wish i knew japanese

I didnt see anything about network play :(

[jurkevicz]

Is there any way to remove those numbers on the top left corner that shows on the screen? Anyway, I've tried and it is definately an improvement over 4.2 me in my opinion.

[Chameleon]

i think if you fullscreen it... i dont remember as i posted this last night.

[Ryupowerup]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???
Where exactly does it crash?
I've been playing it and it hasn't crashed so far,
(but it did slow down when you first control X)
(currently at stage select screen...)

BAD ROM?

I beat X3 on 0.4.2me

[Chameleon]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???

Notice he has ??? that means he was asking if it still crashed

[hack.fool]

from the readme:


|Original version by yoyofr(http://yoyofr.fr.st/)
|This veriosn build by ruka(http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/)

i think this is a "private" build n_n

[Gold Line]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???

Notice he has ??? that means he was asking if it still crashed

so what he should have said is "is megaman x3 still crashing?"

and no it dose not crash anymore

[Basil Zero]

So is this better than SNES 9x TYL 0.4 me?

[odino]

Donkey Kong country: Pretty much fullspeed at frameskip 3 (but is a bit slow at the first level, but full 50 in other levels?)

Donkey run fullspeed without frameskip on snes9xTYL 042me



I think the main difference between this version and the last is finally having implementation of the SuperFX chip, helping games such as Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby Super Star, etc. run much smoother than before.

Chrono Trigger work very well on 042me. Anyway, to look this list of special chipsets games
(http://yoyofr.proboards44.com/index.cgi?board=snes9xtyl&action=display&thread=1148047206)

[Gold Line]

So is this better than SNES 9x TYL 0.4 me?

yes you will see games like mario rpg and star fox running much faster

[Abgoj]

so is it worth changing to this beta from snes9xTYL 042 me?

[Sonicboy 101]

so is it worth changing to this beta from snes9xTYL 042 me?

Yes

[Exophase]

Wow, look at all this lack of information, lack of sourcecode, and everyone giving completely contradictory information about how this runs. All of this released right after yoyofr announces he'll continue to work on SNES9x TYL (where was this during the year or so when everyone knew he quit working on it?)

Is it really any wonder why I think haphazard forks are less productive than people working together?

[Ultima Chocochu]

Sweet
I've been waiting for this.

[CaptainMorgan4]

Yeah this doesn't really do anything for me, it's not any better than 4.2me. All the games I wanted to play for SNES are already perfect/or damn close in 4.2me so it doesn't help me. The only game I was looking for some help in was Starfox and Starfox 2 (works in 4.2me but no go in this one).

[Chameleon]

It is pretty weird that Ruca's unofficial release is awful close there after of Yoyofr's announcement of working on the emulator.

This is bound to have contradictory information due to the changelog being nonexistant.

but in my review whats new is just some games have speed increases, and the home button works better... but on the other hand i was loading a rom and it froze which has never happened to me with Yoyofr's version.

So... in my opinion it would be best to wait for a complete version from Ruca or maybe even better yet wait for Yoyofr to release the official version.

[kharaboudjan]

so is it worth changing to this beta from snes9xTYL 042 me?

No

[Understandable]

can any1 confirm if star fox 2 is playable?

[Gold Line]

No

yes it is tell me why not

[kayhanbakid]

Here's the only thing I've tried. I play Super Mario World quit a bit and I have noticed a difference. Example: The end of castle #1 in the boss battle against Lemmy Koopa (I think that's his name). I always play with auto frameskip. So in parts such as this or against the reznors the framerate used to always drop to around 30 and make it noticably skippy. NOW it stays at around 55-60. This is all I've seen so far in this game.

Also in Super Street Fighter II Turbo: The New Challengers. In levels such as DJ's with a lot of things going in the background it became noticably skippy. Now it's much smoother. But for this game I'd turn off sound. It makes it run much better.

[Lodis]

I tried this and felt like many games were much faster such as Yoshi Super Mario but I wonder if I am just imagining things.

[Solidsnake3000]

too bad i dont use snes any more this sounds good

[mfz64]

cool! downloading now!

[hack.fool]

i thought everyone is waitin Yoyofr to release the official Snes9x but this is a good improvement of his emulator even if is beta

[Gold Line]

too bad i dont use snes any more this sounds good

why dont you use snes anymore? the snes has some of the best games ever made

[mavsman4457]

It's great to see someone pick up someone else's work and try to improve it.

[Cloud_35]

WTF!?!? There's only ONE eboot :confused: what's wrong?

is Super Mario RPG playable now??

[starogre]

WTF!?!? There's only ONE eboot :confused: what's wrong?

is Super Mario RPG playable now??

obviously you don't know what frameskip means, cus i'm in Lands End

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS STARFOX KIRBY AND SLEEP MODE WORKING AND I GUESS NONE OF THOSE WORK, WHAT A CRAPPY VERSION - EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST ONE

[Gold Line]

obviously you don't know what frameskip means, cus i'm in Lands End

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS STARFOX KIRBY AND SLEEP MODE WORKING AND I GUESS NONE OF THOSE WORK, WHAT A CRAPPY VERSION - EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST ONE

how can you say its crap.
its better than nothing.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Some framerate improvements I've noticed:
Super Ghouls n Ghosts:
Level 2
0.42 ME version: 50-51 fps
TYL++ Beta: 54-55 fps
Level 4
0.42 ME Version: 35-40 fps
TYL++ Beta: 45-50 fps
(using same settings/no frameskipping)
Seems like he improved the Mode 7 emulation, and the sound bug is gone as well. This is definitely worth using until Yoyo releases his final build.

[DarthPaul]

Oh cool,a new version. I'm gonna try this one out. But I'm still waiting for the original one. It's good to keep us busy meanwhile. Thanks.

[pkmaximum]

Awesome great to see a new release!

[starogre]

how can you say its crap.
its better than nothing.

when was i comparing it to nothing? i'm comparing it to the last version, get glasses or something...

[mike_jmg]

Megaman x3 sill crashing ???

X3 has never crashed, I´ve beaten the game like 4 times and runs perfect since 0.42me

Megaman X2 has speedup on the boss stages, but they don´t attack (LOL)
They just go from side to side of the screen LOL, and wire sponge powered up like two times, this is really weird :rofl:

[psp411]

cool... glad to see the snes9x emulators still within the views of devs :D :cool:

[Jonesyxxiv]

I think this version is alot better than the last.

[not here anymore]

Dunno who started this shit, dcemu or pspupdates but both site should be blamed for releasing stuff THE AUTHOR DIDN'T WANT RELEASED :/

Ruka says on his tyl lab page to NOT REDISTRIBUTE THOSE BINARIES, for **** sake.

I won't be surprised if he stops posting binaries after this crap.

IF YOU DON'T ****ING READ JAPANESE, DON'T POST SHIT. AT ALL.

[BelmontSlayer]

All of this released right after yoyofr announces he'll continue to work on SNES9x TYL (where was this during the year or so when everyone knew he quit working on it?)

You need to check your sources before you make assumtions. Ruka has been releasing his optimized versions of 0.4.2 since early March. He is also the original coder for NesterJForPSP. He never claimed that it would "work better", nor has he modified the base of the code.

theshadowrunner is correct. Ruka didn't want the binaries to be hosted off his page. The TC should have just linked instead.

"The binary which is provided here is a beta version. With other things such as distribution, please don't do it no matter what. It is released to be tested by volunteers."


The game _____ is running slow!
There is an easy way to greatly increase the compatibilty of a ton of games. When a game is loaded, the emulator checks the file "snesadvance.dat" for optimization code (aka "Speed Hacks"). The default file that is included with the emulator is VERY old. Therefore there aren't that many speed hacks. However, mog123 (http://boards.pocketheaven.com/viewtopic.php?t=3366) releases an updated version of the superDAT every few weeks. You can get his version here:
http://urashima.cydonianknight.com/snesadvance.dat

By replacing the default one in snes9xTYL/DATA with the new one, a LOT of games will run faster.

i only get a Eboot file where does it go?

That was a big help posting that. Thank you very much. I can't wait to try the updated .DAT file as the one I've had is from 1 year ago.

I totally believe that collaborative work is better than separate versions of the code. But finding out that Ruka never intended the binary to be widely distributed clears it up a little bit. Also, I'm not sure if yoyo speaks Japanese so there might be a language barrier.

What pleases me is that there is renewed excitement about SNES emulation on the PSP. That's good for everyone.

[tazx2x]

wow intresting cant wait to upgrade my psp now

[Musoka_Eimin]

Guys I dont think Ruka wants this file redistributed outside of his site, I think he wants it to be distributed from there only :(

[samthegreat68]

i thought tyl was already nearly perfect. does starfox run better?

[Vaang]

Hi i'm on firmware 3.10 OE-A'. I tried what a previous user reccomended (pasting it over the old SNES9xTYL ME 0.0.42 eboot). It keeps crashing though!! Here is exactly what i did: I downloaded the 1.00 version of SNES9xTYL, copied the ruka's 0032 EBOOT, pased it over the old eboot. But every time i try opening it.. it crashes :\ please help!! I've also tried to run it by pasting it over the 1.50 Eboot... It keeps crashing :\

[x3sphere]

Wow, look at all this lack of information, lack of sourcecode, and everyone giving completely contradictory information about how this runs. All of this released right after yoyofr announces he'll continue to work on SNES9x TYL (where was this during the year or so when everyone knew he quit working on it?)

Is it really any wonder why I think haphazard forks are less productive than people working together?

Ruka has fully documented his page with source diffs and complete changelogs (which are all in Japanese, though). About all I could make out was that some optimizations have been done to sound processing and to the media engine.

Overall it is an impressive beta.. I've noticed a huge boost in speed on games which use Mode 7 effects (+10-15 FPS). Games like Castlevania IV are also getting a small boost (+5 FPS).

with yoyofr back hopefully Ruka has contacted him so they can work on this together..

[cypressice]

Sorry i don't wanna come across like a noob but i went to his site and i can't seem to understand what the hell im supposed to download?

Any Help?

[Chameleon]

got where it says Snes9xTYL laboratory it (http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/PSPSoftware/labSNESTYL/lab.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG)
and click the link at the bottom of the page ( it should say "32eboot" or something like that on the downloaded file )

[3elevenX]

Either most of you didn't setup the last official tyl correctly or your all smoking something :P

This unofficial beta plays nothing faster then 4.2me did for me.

[II murasaki II]

How do you remove the numbers in the corner?

[Sharpy]

cool release Star Fox seems to be running better, thanks

[danknugz]

did yoyofr approve this??!!? i thought he was coming out with a new release this week!

[ACID]

Icant see the download in his page. :(

[BelmontSlayer]

did yoyofr approve this??!!? i thought he was coming out with a new release this week!
yoyofr released his source code to be edited freely. He doesn't have to "approve" rewrites.


Icant see the download in his page. :(
Here's the direct link from his page:
http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/PSPSoftware/labSNESTYL/0032EBOOT.zip

[jurkevicz]

thanks for that .DAT info!! It helped a lot!

[prinnyhero]

Can't seem to figure out which one to download. I see 2 that say demo on the page that someone else on the thread said to go to but which one do i download exactly? Really wanna try this so any help would be cool, thanks

Edit: Yikes, i totally didnt see the post above me lol, sorry, and thanks for the direct link!

[Veskgar]

Well I had a chance to play around with this a little bit. I'm not sure if it was the updated .DAT file I used or this new version of the emulator but some games certainly did seem to show some positive results.

I only really like to play SNES games with 0 frameskip. Games that used to run a little slow on 0 frameskip like Super Star Wars, Uniracers, Super Mario All Stars (Super Mario 2), Contra III, etc. now seem to run just fine with no frameskip at all. Mario Kart runs great but still needs a frameskip of 1.

I will play around some more. It seems some games might be a little slower like Battletoads: In Battlemaniacs.

[aznTerz]

is there any difference to the
other snes9xTYL or is this just
a compatability update??

[`The0n3]

I dont know what emulator you all have been using but the last me version was nearly fullspeed on everything you all are making the official sound like crap when in reality it already done all these "miracles"

[hack.fool]

the last one i use is Snes9xTYL-0.4.2me version

the matter isn't "wich one is crap" man..

if you don't see any change from previous Snes
try to change some stuff in the menu before start to pull down this awesome work!

[Ranmax09]

In this version I can't play Donkey Kong Country 3 anymore, I get a blue crash error. :(

[hack.fool]

In this version I can't play Donkey Kong Country 3 anymore, I get a blue crash error. :(

try deleting snesadvance.dat or replace it with the one from Snes9x 0.4.2
that new snesadvance.dat isn't 100% supported
it did the same to me ( with other game too :( )

[Veskgar]

In this version I can't play Donkey Kong Country 3 anymore, I get a blue crash error. :(

As said previously, it could be the new snesadvance.DAT file but Super Mario RPG wouldn't load for me.

[SpacemanSpiff]

As said previously, it could be the new snesadvance.DAT file but Super Mario RPG wouldn't load for me.
If you turn off speed hacks in the hack/debug menu then Mario RPG works. So yeah, it must be the new data file thats causing it to crash.

[Lodis]

If you turn off speed hacks in the hack/debug menu then Mario RPG works. So yeah, it must be the new data file thats causing it to crash.

I am playing Mario RPG and Donkey Kong 3 with speed hacks enabled and the updated snesadvance.dat with no problems at all. In fact, Mario RPG is on frame skip 1 and runs at 47fps - 50fps in battle 60fps is the most I have seen it run outside of battle and it is on speed limit fps Auto detect.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Yeah, I figured out that after I start the rom with speed hacks enabled I can load a save state and play from there, but otherwise I just get a black screen.

[bibi24]

How do you get rid of numbers Top left corner?

[jurkevicz]

I don't think there's a way to do that.

[Apoklepz]

Hey all,

This bit of info is probably useless to anybody, but I just gave the gool 'ol 04.2me a spin on my lunch break to play Assault Suits Valken and went to the Emu XMB just out of Boredom to fiddle around with the options....This last official update is now a year old. Check it out!!!

[xxhiroshi21xx]

Anyone have a mirror for that updated snesadvance.dat file? I didnt get it in time before the site went down. D:

heya guys! i have a psp with plain 3.40 on it....pisses me off i cant find anywhere any kool stuff for it like an emu. does anybody know how to play homebrew on 3.40?

[Tinnus]

It's impossible until someone develops a downgrader to 1.5 or an exploit for running homebrew in 3.40. And don't ask when, it's not like people don't do it because they are lazy...

[phantom18]

its sad to hear that but thank you very much, i`ll just have to wait :)

[phantom18]

does anyone know if i can play flash files on the 3.40 ? thank you

[Dylan1CC]

I loaded the new eboot. Is there any way to get rid of the number that counts up then stays in the upper left hand corner of the screen?

Just tried a bunch of games with the new speedhack file. As long as you are running all your roms on 333, it definitely makes a very nice improvement in speed.

Mode 7 wise: I gave Super Metroid a spin. The laboratory stage used to chug like crazy but now plays very smoothly. Mode 7 effects for Ridley and the space cinemas are very fast but still have that weird black "strobe" around them. It's the same for Mode 7 effects so far in SMW. Still excellent work though so far and definitely worth the download.

[sillypig]

Can somebody give me a direct link ruka's snes emulator as I can't to make head nor tails of the actual page. Thanksy.

[baller129]

SWEET! i love this emulator works great:thumbup:

[DanTheManMS]

Hey, I'm mostly a DS guy (I know very little about the PSP), but if there's an obscure game that isn't already in mog123's speedhack database from http://www.pocketheaven.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3366 I could attempt to speedhack the game for you. I won't be able to work with most special chip games, but many others I can do. Just let me know.

EDIT: also note that the link posted here:

http://urashima.cydonianknight.com/snesadvance.dat New page, and since I seem to have been ignored, could anyone up this superDAT? The URL is spitting 404 errors.

Nevermind, I found a mirror after some heavy googling..

http://www.snesadvance.org/files/superdat20060124-mog123.zip

Is pretty old itself. I too saw that the official link was down, so I asked mog to upload it elsewhere. The new link is on Googlepages and is available from the PocketHeaven thread I linked to.

If you think this snesadvance.dat file prevents a game from booting, you can simply open up the dat file in Notepad, turn off word wrap, and remove the game's entry entirely. You could also try removing the patches one by one (each patch is in the last field after the last pipe symbol, each separated by a comma).

[mog123]

Now i see that my hacks are being used by many other people ;) Good thing they're not going to waste, anyhow, Dan here has made a very good post, I'll try to update the superdat when i'll have some more time.

where the hell do you go to DL this emu? I've been to the website and can't find a download link anywhere.

[SnoopKatt]

Yeah it doesn't look like there's a link anymore. Could someone upload it please?

[Ranmax09]

The link is still there: Click here to download (http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/PSPSoftware/labSNESTYL/0032EBOOT.zip)

[djbrotherson]

So whats the difference between the one I have and this one??

[SnoopKatt]

Cool, thanks for pointing us to it :)

[Ranmax09]

So whats the difference between the one I have and this one??

This one is faster. I could play mario kart full speed :)

[ultradodger]

Hey! I was just wondering if there was anyway to get rid of the numbers in the upper left corner of the emulator. Other than that, this thing works great! Thank you so much!

[downloaddownload]

Ruka Star fox runs better now. The action replay still acts funny. It turns codes on once and never holds the value. Example... MegamanX3, infinite shots on screen needs to be on but deactivated the number continues to run down making the code useless. Thanks for the update so far.

Donkey run fullspeed without frameskip on snes9xTYL 042me





It does no such thing, donkey 1 was almost playable, 2 would run fine but in the second level the fog was black instead of transparent, and 3 was playable but choppy

EDIT: I found and applied the newer snesadvance.dat and they all seem to be fine now.

[SpacemanSpiff]

DKC has been running fullspeed with no frameskip for a long time, you just have to turn on one of the hacks in the debug menu.

[DanTheManMS]

I'm attempting to speedhack SMRPG by using the SNES9X debugger for Windows. Currently having my friend test the results. I'll post back if I achieve success (there are a couple of good loops here that look like they can be hacked very well)

[DanTheManMS]

Alright guys, testing time. I found about 8 speedhacks, and my friend's testing helped me determine the 2 of them that were causing battles to freeze.

Open up your snesadvance.dat file and turn off Word Wrap. Find the Super Mario RPG entry if it's there and replace it with the following. If there is no entry, just find where it should go and add it on its own new line (note that the final result MUST be on one line, so if copying and pasting this gives you a line break somewhere, delete it):


1B8A0625|Super Mario RPG - Legend of the|4|0|0|0|0|0|A41=42,30685=42FA,302FF=42,A0D=42F 8,202E9=42DB,29CA5=42DB,9F5=42

Please let me know the results. It should speed things up, but if you notice that it screwed something up or if it caused any portion of the game to freeze, let me know and I'll attempt to fix it ASAP.

EDIT: I fixed one code (same sequence of bytes occurred in two places in the rom and I chose the wrong one, A5E should be A0D), and I added one more (the 9F5 one). My friend didn't report any noticeable speed gain, but oh well.

[richardbocelli]

ok,that's good job!

[mcdougall57]

definitely an improvement but i would like to see more speed in a few games

[JOYBEBA6679]

Ok. where can I find this Ruka version of SNES?? I want to try it out too! Thans in advance!

[Usrahdewa]

Ruka's Site (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://rukapsp.hp.infoseek.co.jp/%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG)

This is Ruka's modification to Yoyofr's Snes emulator for the psp

Bugfixes are not apparent and/or stated as the source is in japanese. But I have tried Super Mario World and have noticed a great improvement upon speed from the prior release!!!

Enjoy, and remember to give feedback on any differences you notice besides GUI

Download at the official site above



Hi,

i am new to this forum. I have a PSP 3.40 oea. i need an emulator to run smc file.

[ronnellayco]

i downt understand.. how to play it?? where do i put the downloaded file?? or wer do i put the rom file?? im really confused/?

There's a problem with the code. Without it I could level up just fine, but now whenever I level up, it gets stuck on the Level Up screen, but it doesn't give you any choices to level up. You're just stuck on the screen without any choices. Damn, I really wanted to play this game.

[DanTheManMS]

Yeah, turns out that one of the hacks caused that. A user helpfully pointed out which one that was. Try the following code, which may not speed anything up but at least shouldn't create any more crashes:

1B8A0625|Super Mario RPG - Legend of the|4|0|0|0|0|0|A41=42,302FF=42,202E9=42DB,9F5=42

[Haisook]

Great...

State/sound issue is gone! But what is that number that keeps counting up in the upper left corner of the screen? How the hell do I get it out?!!!

Thanks to RUKA anyway for this release!! I was about to quit SNESing altogther because of that nasty sound bug!

[JC118201]

Hello, I just recently Stumbled onto this site. I looked at Ruka's Site for the snes emulator and couldn't find it. Which link do I have to click on when I'm at his site to find it?

[giggity giggity goo]

yeah i had the exact same problem, looks like ruka has removed the link...

that and the fact that dcemu has horrible organization means it will be a LONG time until we find a working link

it took me like 2 hours to find the original m33 cutsom firmware release... and it wasnt on here dcemu just has the updates... WHY? i don't know but someone needs to reorganize this site, the owner and mods have gotten lazy

its the best homebrew site, don't get me wrong but bleh... i shouldnt have to lurk around the forums to find a link to something as important as a base emulator or firmware

[giggity giggity goo]

Put it in with the official release and overwrite. Get the official release here:
http://yoyofr92.free.fr/psp/files/snes9xTYL-0.4.2me.rar

THANK GOD

dcemu has become a jumbled mess of broken links and confusing organization

i have been looking for that for a freaking hour and a half... youd think the OP would LINK the files you HAVE to have in order to use this but... nah that makes too much sense:mad:

[Broadus]

Is there any "official"-type snesadvance.dat download that updates the original one since Ruka's release and especially the official release are pretty old?

[DanTheManMS]

The "official" SNES Advance dat file can be found at http://boards.pocketheaven.com/viewtopic.php?t=3366

Just keep in mind it was originally written for SNES Advance, so there are some randomly hacked games int here that may break the game. If you notice a game breaking, try removing its entry in the dat file (just open it with Notepad and turn off Word Wrap).

[Spotfist]

I can't find the link too! does any1 know where I can find a copy?

[DanTheManMS]

I can't find the link too! does any1 know where I can find a copy?

Just look 3 posts above yours...

[VagrantWalker]

Will this emulator not run on CFW kernel 1.5?

[IDidMyTime]

Did anyone find a way to get rid of the numbers in the top left hand side?

[jurkevicz]

Not yet.

[groverkermit]

i love this emulator - but i've had a weird problem with all versions of TYL on all firmwares i've tried (1.5, DA's OE series and now M33) -- anyone else noticed this?:
the analog stick calibration seems to get shifty/jerky when i have this emulator installed, the problem is not limited to games running in TYL but extends to UMD's and other emulators. at first i figured it was a physical problem so i cracked my PSP open and cleaned/tightened the analog assembly (didn't solve the problem). the only thing that seems to alleviate this problem is to uninstall the emulator and format my mem-stick.......very odd.
Anyone else notice this, or is it just me??

[ddblue]

I haven't messed with SNES emulation in a long awhile - but I have Snes9xTYL 0.4.2 me installed and it works pretty well. Is this an upgrade to that? Also, is sleep mode supported yet?

[arapozo]

Hello i have a problem with mario all stars, when i select mario 3 it just gives me a black screen, i can enter the snes9xTYL menu but i cannot play the game.
Any ideas?

[kharaboudjan]

its so sad no one is working on the snes for the psp. especially now when we have seen how fantastic picodrive is running. well we will probably never be able to play the snes games perfectly on the psp.. we can dream though! ;)

[odino]

Hello i have a problem with mario all stars, when i select mario 3 it just gives me a black screen, i can enter the snes9xTYL menu but i cannot play the game.
Any ideas?

This game work fine on my official snes9xtyl 042 me.

[saulin]

Yeah whatever happened with this emu? Is it officially dead? Has anyone asked the author? If the PSP can run Genesis games full speed it should also be able to run most Snes games full speed without frame skip. Isn't the Genesis hardware a little more complicated than the Snes hardware? I thought it requiered more juice to emulate.

[Tinnus]

No, the SNES is actually more complicated. Also, all games without extra chips or Mode 7 effects should run fullspeed on the ME versions.

[kharaboudjan]

hmm.. genesis has a faster cpu. but there are perhaps other things that makes the snes more powerful

[Tets]

From what I understand, it's not so much a case of which system is more complex. Slow SNES emulation on PSP is more due to the fact that the emulator being used is a PC-to-PSP port. In contrast, Picodrive PSP is ported from another handheld platform (I think gp2x, but don't quote me on it) and as such is more suited to the PSP than if it were a port of Gens or something like that.

But for the record, I would say that Genesis/Megadrive emulation is more complex than SNES, if only because it amounts to basically emulating two systems at the same time.

[ellswortha101]

very nice. I am lovin it!

[IrritatedG]

am i blind or what? I can't find the link to download, can anyone post a better link than that google translated site plz

[desi1984]

wow thanks

[robotdevil]

Agreed. If anyone can find a link that would be awesome. All I can find from the horrible google translation is NesterJ and Lifegame. Have no idea what that is.

[Haisook]

Here's the version I use. It's perfectly stable. The only lil issue is a few numbers that count and then stops at the top left corner of the screen. But that's the case with every Ruka version.

I can't get to the download page anymore, so I don't know if there are newer releases.

This is a direct download link:

[juiceface]

found a small bug in this emu

it is when you have your files in .zip format, some will work, and others will give you a "bad checksum" message as it trys to load the rom. this happened to me on super mario world and mario kart.

however when i upzipped these games they worked perfectly fine.

other than this , the emu is great!

[bacalacadaca]

i dont see any downloads for Snes can anyone attach the file here?

[No_one_in_particular]

Second post above your request...

[Triv1um]

Is this meant to crash after having a sertain amount of roms in there?

I have about 1gb in there, and it crashes after pressing X at the agreement thing.

[Broadus]

Perhaps... Wow, that's a lot of SNES games! I've never tried.

[downloaddownload]

Does anyone know Rukas email address? I want to see if he will finish this emulator if I pay him for it.
