pspadrive Release 1!
=====================
pspadrive is a highly customised port of the genesis/megadrive emulator genesisplus to
the psp. The eventual goal is full 60fps emulation by rewriting parts of the emulator in
assembler.
Features:
- Support for Genesis/megadrive, High compatablity.
- zip support
- Correct ratio'd graphics, hardware accelerated renderer
- Some asm code to speed things up
- built in game select screen
Missing
- Sound
- More complete GUI
- Lots more asm optimisations
- Save states
- Cheat codes
- mappable controls
Installation:
=============
For 1.0 firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Copy the contents of the 1.0 folder to your psps memory
stick.
This should give you a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive folder on your memory stick.
Copy your megadrive and genesis roms to your memory stick.
pspadrive has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere.
Personally I prefer to put them in the /GAME/PSP/pspadrive/roms/ folder.
Your roms can either be in .smd/.bin/.md/.zip format.
.zip is recommended as it takes less space.
For 1.5 firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Copy the contents of the 1.0 folder to your psps memory
stick.
This should give you a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive folder and a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive% folder on
your memory stick.
Copy your megadrive and genesis roms to your memory stick.
pspadrive has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere.
Personally I prefer to put them in the /GAME/PSP/pspadrive/roms/ folder.
Your roms can either be in .smd/.bin/.md/.zip format.
.zip is recommended as it takes less space.
For other firmware:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Currently I have been unable to test on any other firmwares
but if you have a psp that is supported by eboot loader
then please test this emulator with it and email me any problems etc
to: [email protected]
Controls:
=========
Filebrowser:
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Currently the file broweser is quite basic. Use the d-pad to move up and down, and the X button to select a file or folder.
Selecting ".." will make the filebrowser go back to the parent folder.
In-game:
-=-=-=-=
D-pad: MD/genesis d-pad
Square button: MD/genesis 'A' button
O button: MD/genesis 'B' button
start: MD/genesis start button
Left Shoulder button: In-game gui.
Currently exit rom option only but this will change in the next version of pspadrive.
Contact me:
===========
Email: [email protected]
I am looking for webspace for my psp releases,
as well as a graphic artist to help with gui design.
If you can help, please email me!
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR ROMS AS I CANNOT HELP YOU!
Thanks

BakuraMx has released a new game for the PSP heres the info:
Hi Guys, I just wanted to show off my first release. : O I gave up trying to install those linux emulators so I settled for Lua. I made a space invaders clone (why do people always call them 'ports') and named it after me cause I'm cool like that. The Objective is to shoot the little invaders before they reach earth. Hard mode is pretty challenging and the sound effects are pretty high end :P I did the graphics myself too. ^^ IMO I think the game is cool. I dunno try it out and tell me what you think.

When first glancing at screenies of Koei's historical hack-and-slash title Samurai Warriors: State of War, it's easy to see the resemblance with their other historical hack-and-slash game, Dynasty Warriors. Although that would probably be due to the fact that it's essentially the same game, only revised for the handheld market. And despite the fact that this franchise has already been done to death, there are a few improvements (aside from, yes we said it before, a portable version) that would warrant this at least a look-see.
Overall reviews for this game put it in the "okay, but not quite there" category, with statements like GameSpot's complaint of the title's bland gameplay and Worth Playing's mentioning of Samurai Warriors' "under-decorated backgrounds". Gamebrink's observation may at least appease long-running fans of the series by saying that the game is an improvement over the disappointing Dynasty Warriors for PSP.
GameSpot (6.5 / 10) - "No doubt, if you enjoyed Samurai Warriors on consoles, you'll take at least something positive away from State of War. It's very much the same formula translated reasonably well onto a handheld platform. The trouble is that the formula itself is no better off in handheld form than it was on consoles, and the action becomes utterly stagnant after a short while."
WorthPlaying (7.9 / 10) - "Samurai Warriors: State of War often reminds you that you're participating in some trumped-drama for the sake of justifying mass slaughter, but it benefits more than it suffers from its familiar setup. With a large cast of warriors and a diverting map system, character-building and charm-casting effectively replace storytelling to encourage continued combat, even if a slow-to-react camera and under-decorated environments make it a less-than-perfect execution of the huge-clashing-armies formula."
Gamebrink (76% / 100%) - "[Samurai Warriors] is KOEI’s honest attempt at mopping up that former mess and their efforts are very visible with this worthy addition to the PSP’s library. For those that felt that the original Dynasty Warriors for PSP felt a bit lacking and would have liked a game that did justice to the beat em’ up fighter that was Dynasty Warriors for the console then Samurai Warriors is here to pave the way." ...by Published on March 19th, 2006 22:19
